Hello everyone and welcome to the 2nd Thursday of September! It's time for my monthly turn to share with everyone here and over at  SHE'S A SASSY LADY  and  CRICUT IS CLOSE TO MY HEART ! Today I chose to make a great pocket and tags combo that is on the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge. If you don't already have a CTMH consultant that you purchase from, you are welcome to click  HERE  to visit my site and place an order for this amazing cartridge as well as many other goodies! Here is my finished project: You can find this pocket and tags on page 25 of the cartridge booklet.

It gets covered up with a label. Cut the tags at 3.5"H and if you have the coordinating stamp set - stamp the borders on them. This stamp set i...

Happy Thursday, my crafty friends!

I'm thinking I can use these boxes to hold some mini cards or gift cards. Here are the boxes stacked and unembellished: I then added some lace ribbon and some tags cut from Art Philosophy and stamped with CTMH stamps. The tickets are also from Art Philosophy and I printed them on...

Hello everyone!! I'm so excited to share with all of you AND all the followers of  SHE'S A SASSY LADY  AND all the followers of  CRICUT IS CLOSE TO MY HEART ,  my little Camp Autograph book!   Well, it's that time of year again when lots of kids head off to camps of all kinds! Our son, who is 14, will be going to church youth camp next week and I thought it would be fun to make him an autograph book to take with him for old and new friends to sign and write a little message in. Actually, he doesn't think he will use it but I'm going to tuck it into his bag anyway and see what happens! LOL!                                                                                          Here is the finished book: Now...
