If you have the Art Philosophy and / or Artiste cartridges, this one works just like they do! This makes it soooo easy to crea...

I made this "Springy" card for my Mom who is recovering from open-heart surgery! The envelope is stamped with a Close to my Heart stamp set, "Treasures" and says "You are my Sunshine".  The flower on the front of the card is from Sweet Treats and everything is cut at 3".  The letters, m-o-m , are cut at 1.5" from Printing Press and I used the clips feature.  A simple card, but cute!   Thanks for looking!

First, let me say that I'm sorry in advance for not rotating these pics before I uploaded them!  Hopefully no one will get a sore neck looking at these pics!  :-)  I made this mini album for a friend. I cut the tag from the Beyond Birthdays cricut cartridge.     I bought the blank, green chipboard album at my LSS in Tiffin, OH before we moved to Texas.  The name "JOY" was cut from the Lyrical Letters cricut cart. The ticket stamps on the inside was from a Close to My Heart stamp set called Just the Ticket. I love this set - I guess that's why I took a picture of each completed stamp! :-)  The ticket I stamped on was cut from Fabulous Finds, as was the mini library pocket. The checklist was also a CTMH stamp set called "Checklist". I used some misc. rub-ons to embellish the pages.
