Project Life 2012: Week 31-33

 There were a lot of pictures for Week 31- we went on a vacation! I tried very had to take lots of interesting pictures, so I used some Close to my heart Flip flaps, a great addition to your Project Life supplies. I also used several of the stamps from the CTMH special It's Your Day Stamp set. Today is the very last day to get your own Stamp set.

 Week 32 and 33 are very plain, not only were there not many pictures. It takes almost 2 weeks to catch up from vacation.(Also I am missing a picture, my Selphy Photo pirinter jammed, and I cant seem to make it work now *insert sad face*)

Avonlea Paper Cone

 The Close to My Heart Artiste Cricut Cartridge has it all!! I cut this wonderful cone (I used the fit to page feature and it cut at 8 3/4") for a great decor item. Right now I have some really large acorns from a Burr Oak tree in it, but I think it will be a great year round place to add seasonal things.

I used the Avonlea paper pack and paired it with some vintage sheet music. I added a piece of ribbon from my stash as well. For the flower I stamped the image from the Love Blooms stamp set several time on brown tissue paper and then inked the edges to make them looked very distressed.

Friends make Memories

 I have a special card to show you today using a special stamp. Back in July I made a project for the Operation Smile Auction at the CTMH convention, as a special gift to those who were asked to make a project we were give a stamp set from Jeanette Lynton's personal collection. Below is a picture of the stamp set that can not be purchased. I have a couple of these and I treasure them so much!! Not only did I feature that great heart stamp and sentiment, but for this card I used some of the grey felt rub-ons. I used the flourish and if you look close I used a boarder strip just under the bakers twine.

Oh Happy Day! Wedding Card

 A few weeks ago I went to a Bridal Shower for a friend. I had picked up a Target gift card for my gift and I wanted create a fun card to give it in.
The CTMH Cricut Cartridge Artiste has some great gift card holds to cut out, but I went with this slider card. All I did was use a few glue dots to attach the card to the back of the slider. I thought the sentiment "Oh Happy Day" was perfect for a wedding card. That sentiment comes from the Avonlea Card Workshop on the go-a great combo pack to make 15 cards!!

It's Your Day Project 3: Mini Album

 I am a sucker for a mini album, especially a MINI mini album!! This little guy was cut at 2 3/4" using the New Cartridge from Close to My Heart-Artiste. Yep-the cartridge cuts the cover and all the pages at any size that you want!! I thought I would make a cute little "Story of Us" book using the stamps from the It's Your Day Special.  The album has a great wrap around cover, and to keep it closed I used one of the stamp images on foam tape so the flap tucks right under it!  I used some of the CTMH seam binding ribbon to bind the album and pages.

 

Before I put together the album I snapped a few pictures of the pages I created using the It's Your Day Stamp set!
