University of North Texas t-shirt made using the Varsity Letter Lite cartridge.

Hello, friends!

Ok, I know that you guys probably notice that I go through periods of time where I perhaps do too much of one thing. Like Bo Bunny Double Dot paper or Art Philosophy cartridge projects. Now, I keep cutting fabric with the cricut. Sigh...I just love doing it. It is just so darn gratifying. However, this will be my last project made using fabric for at least a week. I need to give it a break. That way you guys don't thinks that this blog is all about cutting fabric with my cricut. 

This shirt is made using the Varsity Letter Lite cartridge. I am transferring to the University of North Texas in the spring, so I thought I would make my own shirt. My dad saw this shirt the other day and has requested a University of Arkansas shirt. I wish there was a Greek alphabet cartridge because I could make sorority shirts and sell them!

I cut the letters out at 4".
There were a few questions from yesterday's post and I thought I would answer them.

A beautiful card that I plan to make myself but you didn't say which CTMH papers you used. Sonoma?
Also have you done or will you please do a Tutorial on making the beautiful bows that you make?

1) The paper pack is called Believe
  
2) I have been asked many times about my bows and doing a bow tutorial. Currently, I do not plan on doing one. There are several reasons why. However, the main reason is I just hate making videos. They are SUPER time consuming and I spend so much time keeping two blogs a float as it is(7-8 posts a week combined, which means 7-8 NEW projects a week). For now, I am keeping my bow secret to myself. Although, it is not a secret. It is just lots and lots of practice!

Thanks so much for stopping by this week! Come back to see me next week. I promise I won't do any shirts, bags, or onesies!

Why be a Close to My Heart consultant?

This is one of my favorite things about being a consultant and the main reason I became a consultant. Who doesn't like sneak peeks! Not only can you view the catalog early, but can order your products early as well and have them weeks before non-consultants.

I promise though, that you will get out of this what you put into it! I go to school full time, run two blogs, and have a little one. There is no way I could fit in a regular job. Close To My Heart gives me the freedom to juggle my hectic life and make an income at the same time.

Love all your inspiration! Having just started a blog I can't imagine having 2 blogs at the moment; so completely get why you don't want to do videos:) They seem so time consuming regarding editing. Love all your work and enjoy whatever you wish to share:)

Great idea, as these can be so expensive in the school bookstore. Great idea, too, to recoup your costs and make a little extra to buy more carts!
