Close to my Heart has released a new cricut cartridge Artiste. This one does alot of 3D projects. The pumpkin is an example from this new cartridge.

   
     This is a cute hibiscus
flowered gift box with the new cricut. The paper is dark- so it's a little dark.

   

This is a 3D project of a strawberry that I cut

out and then ran thru the embossing folder to give it some texture. The possibilities are endless. 

This Pumpkin box is also a project from the Artiste cricut project. Fall is around the corner.

      This is our new Close to my Heart-- Workshop on the Go Advent Calendar Kit. This festive holiday countdown uses a heavy duty chipboard for the cubby. The drawers are made of cardstock using the Artiste cartridge. This project compliments our Pear and Partridge papers

  July has been such a busy month for me-- Family reunion- it was so nice to have all my children and grandchildren together. We had family photos taken that turned out fabulous. Can't wait to scrapbook them. But now that summer is winding down somewhat, I'm ready to start scrappin again.

Deb- Close to my Heart Consultant

    This will be my June layout. My upline Susan Tomaino had a crop day for consultants a few months ago, and this is one of her projects. I loved it. So this will be the layout I will use for my workshop. Summer has already started. Most kids in the area are out of school and hot weather is already here. The 4th of July will be here before we know it.

     This class will be offered Friday June 22 at 7PM. The cost is $7. The layout will come together really quickly. I hope to have a cute gift/treat bag that we can make also. I'll work on that, and post it as soon as it's completed.

    Please RSVP that you coming by June 15th to scrappy55@msn.com. Snacks will be provided. Hope to see you there.

  It's time to scrap again. Last month we did a layout about families for Mother's day. So this month- because Father's day is next month- we will do a masculine layout using Close to my Heart's Victory paperpack. I love this paper for guys. The class will be held on May 11th at 6:30 PM. I have moved so I have a new address. 5195 Good Rd, Delphos, Ohio. It's actually between Elida and Delphos. And not far off 309. I scraplifted this layout off our Close to my Heart art boards. We will also do a craft project using a little tin box with Hersheys nuggets. Great gift for Dads!!!!! I'll post that later. Please RSVP to scrappy55@msn.com if you can attend. If possible I need you to bring your favorite adhesive. Snacks will be provided. We always have chocolate too. The cost is $10 for both projects. If you bring a friend- you will both receive a gift. Sure hope to see you there. I will have the June class to show you also.
