CTMH Spotlight Blog Hop - Art Philosophy!

It's mid September and it's time for another fun CTMH Spotlight Blog Hop!

Welcome to my blog!  

If you are landing from  ELIZABETH's blog, you are on the right track!!!

Every month fellow consultants and myself get together to have fun doing this blog hop.  We spotlight one awesome Close to my hearet product at a time!  And this month we are highlighting the awesome and unique:

CTMH Exclusive Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge!!! 

Am so, so excited with this awesome cartridge!  I was thrilled when CTMH announced at last Convention in July. And now am more thrilled, since I have been able to play with it...

Truth to be told, I own a cricut for a while but hardly ever use it.  Then when I received my Art Philosophy cartridge I started playing with it for 2 reasons: 1) To get to know him and 2) Because I sign-up in 4 swaps where we "must" use Art Philosophy images.

Here is one of the artwork for one of the swaps.  It's a One Page Layout using Sonoma papers:

I used Sonoma Level 2 papers and cut images with my cricut , of course using my Art Philosophy cartridge!

There are 4 images cutted:

1) The banner (at 2")

2) The present (at 2" and 1 3/4")

3) The Hearts (at 2", 1 1/2" and 1")

4) The label on the left side (at 4.5")

After cutting the images, I used the Art Philosophy "Celebration" stamp set to stamp the images over the cut images.

I also used the strips that now our pattern paper as en embellishment. Added some bling bling to the banners and the present plus a Pin Clip with a piece of natural Hempt to the hearts and voila!!!

I also created a pillow box, a card and a tag for the swaps using Art Philosophy cricut cartridge images and matching stamp sets.  Will share them in another spots, since I don't want to spoil all my swaps projects at once!!!

Now head over NIKKA GEERS' blog to see her awesome creation!
