Celebrating reaching over 20,000 page views.....

Hi Everyone,

I am so pleased to have reached this goal. I am in a happy place at present after reducing my workload and taking a break.

I can now concentrate on this wonderful pastime of paper crafting, creating, playing with cricut and beginning as a Close To My Heart consultant....

As a thankyou to all those who have visited my blog I am giving away a gift, drawn next weekend, Sunday 13th.

Your name will then be on the draw list!!

I will make sure the prize is something nice, either a voucher or other gift.

Also if interested in CTMH products please take a look at the link. For any cricut users the art booking cartridge is available now, as are Art Philosophy and Artise. These are all favourites of mine which are used constantly!

Looking forward to draw day...

Cricut CTMH cartridges.......

Here is a link to an informative you tube video on the three art cartridges available through CTMH.

This explains the differences between each cartridge as well as the flexibility and creative options of each.

Close To My Heart cricut artiste project.......file box and tags.....love this file!!!

I love this cartridge and especially this particular cut. There are so many ways it can be used.

On this occasion I cut the boxes small and fitted 2 on the mat.

 

I used my Fabscrap paper supplies which I have had for some time. I feel they are perfect for this type of project. I was able to incorporate the Fabscrap tags as well.

 

I have several others half made. Am also busy making tags to put in the boxes as little gift sets.

 

As can be seen I embossed the paper with "Swiss dots" on the cuttlebug just to add a little more dimension.

 

 Remember this cartridge can be ordered on my CTMH store link.
Also by  purchasing this cartridge you would also qualify for the stamp of the month ($5) and an extra special stamp set this month as well!!

 

Enjoy

Our weekend in Melbourne & Paperific.......

What a wonderful time we had - Leanne and I packed our bags for an intended two night stay but within 24 hours realised it was just not enough so extended by a further night.
We cannot recommend Quest apartments Flemington highly enough. It is quiet and peaceful and we always have a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment so ensure plenty of comfort, sleep and choice etc.

Above is only a very small part of our set up, every surface was taken up! 

 

Above and below are some of the makes on display in booths - we did not take many shots. 

 

We took our car loaded with  play things for our down time and did plenty of cricuting, cuttlebugging, making, dreaming, planning and oh the odd Baileys and Moscato!!

A fridge full of healthy snacks and we were well catered for!

We budgeted - for some significant shopping and made some great purchases

As per the last few years we met some amazing people, both store holders, demonstrators and simply by introducing ourselves to others attendees.

The CTMH stall looked amazing and there was a very friendly group of girls there on Sunday. We did the make and take and also learned a few things to help with starting off as a consultant. I cannot wait for my kit to arrive - I think I have said that about 20 times now!!!

We took a few snaps but not too many - too busy doing make and takes and watching demo's!

Below was our favourite make and take. It was from Art stamps and the tags were beautiful.
Glenice, the demonstrator was so friendly and we caught up with her on each of our FOUR trips to the show.....YES we went four times...on a three days pass!

The plain tags were a great buy but of course us cricuteers can do wonders with CTMH cartridges and that is of course what I am doing today!!



Going home (and packing everything) was the hardest part. We met Leanne's hubby at Morwell and this is just her share of the luggage. Then I headed back to Maffra - all the way thinking about what to make first etc....



Anyway this morning its back to reality however we have a  night out planned for tomorrow with a group of lovely ladies who we are meeting to scrap with. I plan to make more tags and also the cute file box from CTMH cricut artise - page 47 - with some cards to fit.

Chat soon,

I welcome emails and comments - happy to share information and to assist with any queries eg cricut/cuttlebug, Ebosser related.
