Good Morning!  I’m very excited about the Merry Christmas banner I created using the Yuletide Carol CTMH paper packet along with the coordinating Yuletide Carol Assortment. This was the second project I made with my new Cricut Explore.  I have to say that I absolutely love this machine.  For all my accounting friends out there this…

Orders can be made from Close To My Heart’s Seasonal Expressions starting December 1st!

I am!  My son and I made 6 of these little cuties over the weekend and they came together pretty fast.  The clay pots and saucers were spray painted and left in the garage overnight.  The “stems” are just little knobs that we painted with Crayola washable paint and the “vines” were shaped by wrapping the wire around a pencil. …

I’ve been wanting to use the new Artfully Sent Cricut Collection and making treat bags for my son’s Halloween party at school gave me the perfect excuse.  This cartridge truly does so many amazing things and this is only one of the 700 images that this one cartridge will do.  What I like about this…

I made this particular…

Happy Saturday!  I’ve made some Halloween decorations to help decorate a trunk for a Trunk or Treat tonight.  I’m super excited to see them in action.   I used two of the Close To My Heart Cricut Collections.  The Artiste for BOO, Eek, skeletons and spider webs (see page 76 and 77 of the cartridge…
