Harvest Happiness card made using Autumn Celebrations.

Hello, friends!

I hope you all had a great weekend. We had a wet one and I think fall might have actually arrived! Which is perfect because this week I have a TON of autumnal themed projects!

This project is made using the Autumn Celebrations cartridge. Fall is my favorite season, so this cartridge is a total must have for me. I hope that they make similar cartridges for Spring and Winter!

After I had chose the acorn cut I tried to find some paper that would compliment the cut. As much paper as I have in my stash, I could not find the perfect paper. Then I decided I would make my own using this stamp set. It is called Harvest Happiness and also coordinates with the Art Philosophy cartridge. Gotta love a good leaf stamp set!

I used the acorn stamp and one of the leaves to make my patterned paper. I used the flourish in the top right hand corner to make the print behind the stamped sentiment.

All supplies are from Close To My Heart.

I cut the acorn out at 2".

I used one of Emma's dies for the sentiment and added some adhesive backed pearls.

Thanks so much for dropping in today!! I will be back tomorrow with a spooky Halloween card!

Hello Thursday ROUND 2 June 2011

Hello, friends!

Today is the second Hello Thursday of the month! I have to tell you I REALLY like this one because all of the cartridges are full cartridges this time. I just love a good full cartridge. Not to mention all of the features that come with a full cartridge.

Not only are they all full cartridges, but they are all REALLY good full cartridges. I am particularly fond of Summer Celebrations and Autumn Celebrations. You will be seeing lots made with those cartridges on this blog for sure.

Summer Celebrations: As per usual I put my favorite at the top. I could make project after project using this one!

I used Bo Bunny and Fancy Pants paper.

This was cut out at 2 3/4".

This was cut out at 2 3/4".

I cut the journaling tag out at 1 3/4" and the flowers out at 1 1/4".

This is the very unique font that is included on this cartridge and it is cut out at 1 1/2".

Autumn Celebrations: This cartridge is really fantastic! I cannot believe how many great holiday images they included on here. 


I should give you  a little explanation as to what my layout is all about. Well, as most of you know my husband is from England and they celebrate every November 5th Guy Fawkes Day. I am pretty excited that this has been included on this cartridge because I know those English Cricut users will now be able to scrapbook this unusual holiday in style!

I used SU! paper.

The title is cut out at 4" using the NEW Phrases cartridge. 

I cut out this Guy Fawkes effigy at 6".

'Bonfire NIght' was cut out at 3".

I used DCWV paper. 

I cut LOVE out at 1 3/4".

This wonderful frame is cut out at 4 1/2".

Phrases: Been looking fora cartridge with nothing but scrapbook titles and sentiments for your cards? Then this cartridge is a must have for you. It really covers everything!

I used Basic Grey paper.

This FABULOUS bit of word art is cut out at 3 1/2". Also the wonderful banners are cut  out at 3/4".

These fireworks are  from the Summer Celebrations cartridge and are cut out at 2" and the sparkler is cut out at 2 1/2".
