then you are in the right place, if not, please go and start from the beginning at http://www.creatingwithcourtney.blogspot.com

I just love this cartridge, there is so many different projects you can do from this one cartridge. 
This is a little gift bag that I made. 

Cut the box/bag at 6"
tag cut at 2 1/4" and then stamped the saying on using "Thoughts Tidings" (comes with the cartridge when you purchase the Art Philosophy Cartridge)
layer for the tag cut at 2 1/2"
rose was cut out at 3" and then I used the olive ink and inked the edges of the rose and bag. 
I used a thin ribbon and made a little bow and glued it under the rose 
I used wide ribbon and wrapped it around the whole bag. 
This would be wonderful to use at and appreciation award event or banquet. I think I am going to make these for Our Ambulance Banquet.

Mother's Day Cards and Boxes

Mother's Day is next month 

I thought that I would get a jump start on making my mother day cards. 

 I also made matching gift boxes to go with the cards. 

Each one of my daughters are going to pick something to add to the little gift boxes for their grandmothers.

This is the one that I made for my mother.. 

Cartridges:

CTMH Art Philosophy

Sweet Tooth Boxes

Sweet Tooth Cartridge:

Cut the box at 7" (top and bottom) 

Art Philosophy Cartridge:

Roses  1 cut at 4" and 2 cut at 3" ( for the box and card)

Leaves were cut at 1 1/2" and 1 3/4" 

Card base was cut at 5" and top layer was cut at 4 1/2"

I used Tim Holtz distressing ink and inked my edges of the card, layer and roses and leaves. 

Here is the card for my Mother in Law.. 

 I used the glossy accent from CTMH on the roses and leaves on this card to give it a look of water on the petals and leaves. 
I really love how they came out. 


I am in love with the Art Philosophy Cartridge. 
This is the most used cartridge in my craft room.. 
If you would love to add this cartridge to your collection stop by my CTMH site today

Look at everything that comes with the Art Philosophy Cartridge. 

And here is an example of more of what you can do with the cartridge

  The possibilities are endless with this cartridge..

Good Morning Everyone! 

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. 

Saturday was a beautiful day and then Sunday here was rained out, but we needed the rain. 

I have been thinking about trying to make some of the flowers from the "Art Philosophy Cartridge". I have tried in the past but couldn't get them to come out right, so yesterday I thought it would be great to practice with some scrap paper and maybe if I could get the hang of it what a great way to use up some of the scrap paper I have laying around. 

 Here are 4 of the first ones that I tried. 

I cut the out at 3 3/4" and I inked the edges, then I rolled them up and glued them on the base and this is how they came out. 

I did try to use different things to help roll them up, I used a stylus, tweezers and a tooth pick. So far I like how the ones that I used the tweezers came out. 

This is my most favorite cartridge. It is a must have. This cartridge can be used with almost all your projects. 

If you don't have this cartridge you will want to get this cartridge it is a must have ... 

If you are interested in buying this cartridge, you can go to

Love You A Latte Card

Hello Everyone! 

I just got the "Love You A Latte" Cricut Lite Cartridge this morning they have some of their Digital Cartridges on Sale .. 

I have been wanting this cartridge and well today was the day to get it... 

I pulled out the Gypsy and got it on there and started playing.. 

I ended up designing this cute little card. 

I welded two of the cups together 

It is cut out at 7 1/2" height. 

I then pulled out my stamps from CTMH and thought this "Thank You" Saying was perfect for this cute card.I also used CTMH Art Philosophy.

 I cut the tag to match the stamp at 1 1/4" and it matches perfect. 

I hope you like my little card and hope you will check back again and see other projects created with this cartridge... 

I am off now to design one to be a gift card holder for our ambulance banquet... we hand out Coffee Shop Gift Cards at our banquet and I think this is going to be a wonderful cartridge for them... 

Hope you all have a wonderful day and happy creating.. 

Remember to Check out all the wonderful product at my CTMH Site..

DT Weekly Challenge Post

Good Morning Everyone! 

Today is Our Weekly Design Team Post 

I asked everyone to create something for Easter. 

Easter is another one of my favorite holidays. I love all the colors and the cute little bunnies. 

I created this cute little carrot treats for my two younger daughter's classmates. 

I used my gypsy and Tags, boxes, bags and More cartridge

I used the cake box. 

They are cut @ 4 1/2" 

I also used some of the easter grass and crop-a-dile and punched a hole in the top and threaded a little bit of the grass through the top and taped it to the inside of the lid to make the top of the carrot. I used some orange stamp ink and inked around the edges of the carrots.

I put 6 jelly beans in each one of the carrots. 

I made 20 whole carrots and then I am making 20 with a little opening in the front. 

 This is where I got the idea from... go and check out the video

Mini Album

Hi everyone! I have been working on my Mini Album now for a couple of days and I have finally gotten to bind it and I really like how it is turning out. I have a few more pages to finish embellishing and then add my pictures. 

I decided that I was doing an album for the trip and then one for each one of the places that we went to during the weekend. So I have two more to make for our trip. 

Here is the front of the Album.. 

I really enjoyed making this adorable Mini Album

On the cover I used: 

Wildlife Cartridge

Cricut Alphabet 

Give A Hoot

Here are a few other pages and some envelopes that I used inside the album.. I will try to post what cartridges I used but can't remember. (note to self next album write everything down) 

 

These are two of the back pages of the Album

Envelope with a tag in it.. For Journalling or put a picture and journal on the backside. 

Little flip open card
Can add pictures or journal 
Leaf on the front with some twine and button. 

I love this page and on the outside the side is not sealed there will be some tags there for more pictures and Journalling. 

Envelope Page.. can put more pictures or etc in here.. 

There are so much about this book that I love and I will do a video on it to show it off better. I have enjoyed making this one Album for our first real trip as a family. I wanted to make something that was special for my family. It was our younger 2 daughter's first time leaving the state for a weekend and staying in a Hotel. 
They had a blast and can't wait to do it again . 


Well here is a sneak peak at the album that I am working on for a Friend's Daughter that just had Twins premature. 

I will also do a video on this one too. There is so much going on with this book and you will love to see all the little spots for adding photos and journalling.. 
I am using Art Philosophy, Baby Steps, Walk In My Garden and there is a couple more cartridges that I have been using .. I will post more later. 


I hope you all have enjoyed my Project and hope you will stop back again ..
