Christmas Joy layout using the Artbooking cartridge.

Hello, friends!

This week's bitten By the Bug 2 challenge is Christmas in July. I have always found Christmas projects so easy to make, so I really liked this challenge!

 Today I have a scrapbook layout that I made using the NEW Close To My Heart exclusive Artbooking cartridge that will be available to purchase through me on Thursday! Trust me, this double layout is just one of many that you can make using this new fabulous cartridge! I love that you can mix and match different aspects of the double layouts to give you infinite possibilities. For those of you who are card makers, don't worry you were not left out here. I have made 10 cards already using this cartridge! There are lots of options for you too! Besides cards and layouts, I have also made home decor and t-shirts! Seriously, this cartridge has so much!

 If you purchase this cartridge through me you can win one of of the three big prizes I am giving away (totally nearly $600). Not only that I am giving away an exclusive stamp set to those of you who have ordered through me in the past!

Starting Next week, I will be posting projects Monday through Friday for the entire month of August. Plus I will have some really great giveaways! You are not going to want to miss the fun!

On Thursday, you can order this cartridge along with anything else from the new catalog. If you want a catalog, check out the right hand side of the blog, I have set up a Paypal link to order it.

I used Ruby, New England Ivy, Colonial White, and White Daisy cardstock from Close To My Heart. I also used silver glitter paper also from Close To My Heart.

I added red sparkles for the centers of the stars. Also, for the centers of the bows, I used sparkle buttons from a new embellishment pack in the new catalog.

This week's prize is the Creative Cards cartridge!
