My "L" project comes from the Art Philosophy cartridge. I decided to cut the card that is found on this letter. I cut the card using paper from the Claire paper pack. I decided not to use cardstock, but instead chose one of the patterned  papers for my card. I cut the card at 4". I am using the star that is in the center of the card for another project.

I decided to "bling" up my star with sparkles, to give it a little shine. I stamped on the inside a quote from the stamp set: Scrapbook Statements~Women.  The quote is from Dolly Parton, and it says: "If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain".

I stamped Thanks a Bunch in the center, then I loaded by block with the smaller flowers, and random stamped all over the card. I then used my color pens to color in the flowers, glued a butterfly from the Trinkets wooded shapes, and found some buttons from my stash for the centers. I used brown bakers's twine for the center of the buttons on the large flowers.

If you came from Shelly Nemitz - Just One Piece  then you're on the right track!

For my "K" project, I made these cute gift bags from Kraft paper sacks. They are going to be gift bags for my team mates going to the CTMH convention at the end of this month. I covered one side with black card stock. The bow is cut from one of the Disney cricut carts, as are the shoes. I used glitter glitz around the bow to give it some sparkle. I will be adding more to the bag, but I don't want to give too much away, just in case anyone on the team sees this....

Our challenge this month features not only one of these amazing cartridges but we also have a Wedding theme. There are so many weddings this time of year! Do you have any weddings coming up?

I chose to redo this picture frame. It had a picture of my husband and myself on our wedding day. Our
kids had done a number on the frame, and I thought it could a little sprucing up.

I took black card stock and I raced the frame onto it. I cut out the image and used liquid glass to glue it to the frame. I used a sanding block to sand all of the edges, which gave the paper and aged look.  cut the Mr & Mrs  and the silver hearts (silver heart border is glitter paper) from the Artiste cartridge The flowers are cut from Art Philosophy.

Thanks for looking!

If you came from "Linda Norman-Scrappy Therapy "  then you're on the right track!

For my "J" project, I have to admit I had an issue coming up with a "J" project, then I remembered
I had CTMH's Posh Journaling Spots, and I had my "J" item! I decided to use them for the front of my card. I used ruby card stock for the backround, and patterned paper from the For Always paper pack. The red flower was cut from ruby card stock using my Art Philosphy cricut cartridge. the saying is the zip strip from the top of one of the patterned papers. I layered it with ruby card stock. I finished my card with sparkles.

Thanks for stopping by!
