(Sorry for the shadow, I'm trying to find out why this continues to happen with my camera.)

March Creative Club Cards

Here are a few of the cards we made at our last class.  The first one was designed by Naomi Smith.  I liked it so much that this is my twist on her card.  I used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge by Close to My Heart.


Seaside Greetings Stamp Set D1609

This card was also scraplifted from her.  I liked the simplicity of the card.  Do you ever get so busy you don't have time to create?  Well, I say thank you to all my Close to My Heart sisters who share ideas, and to all the great artists on Pintrest for their ideas. 


Pretty Petals Stamp Set C1599

This next card reminds me of spring.


A Little Note Stamp Set A1171

Spring is sure in the air.  Here is another card to enjoy for spring.


Happy Birds Stamp Set C1600            Brushstrokes Stamp set C1608

I hope you enjoy these cards. 
 It sure feels good to get back to creating!

PLACE CARD

My friend, Joan Speece made this Pumpkin Place Card for me.  She cut it with the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, inked the edges and glued it to a button for stability.  I think I'll make a bunch more for my Thanksgiving table.


Do you have the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge?  If not, it would make a great gift for Christmas.  It has over 700 images on this one cartridge.

Thanks for stopping by.
