Lucy Workshop on the Go creations by CTMH

I spent my entire Spring Break sick in bed with an upper respiratory infection, so I didn't get much accomplished. By the weekend, I was feeling much better and decided to make the projects in the Lucy Workshop on the Go Kit from Close to My Heart. I love this paper pack. So far, I made 2 - 2 page layouts as suggested in the kit and the My Creations Mini Banner. I also made 2 cards from the scraps. I still have 3 unused sections from the banner, 1 full sheet of Background paper and 1 full sheet of cardstock. The only things I added to this project was a few extra sheets of Colonial White cardstock and some of the accessories.

Here is the Lucy WOTG Layout I made:

This is the 2nd Suggested layout from the WOTG:

Here are some cards and the Banner I made.

September CTMH Product Spotlight Hop- Art Philosophy

Welcome to my blog. You probably "hopped" over here from Nikka Geers Blog Isn't her work lovely?

I am truly fortunate to be Scrappin In Paradise here in Florida. I'm also fortunate to be scrappin together with Close To My Heart. They have partnered with ProvoCraft and created a wonderful Cricut cartridge and stamp bundle. The Art Philosophy is a wonderful addition to any Cricut library. Actually, it is better than any of the other cartridges I own. There are 700 cuts and nearly every single cut can be used all by itself on a card or scrapbook layout. There are quite a few 3-D objects to make also.

The project I made hangs in my classroom. It has a combination of cuts from the Art Philosophy cartridge. I took one of the CTMH My Creations Banners and inked the edges using Tulip ink. Then I covered it with Roxie papers that I cut in the banner shape from the AP cartridge. The letters for my name are the decorative layer font. There are little circles cut out of the letters, but I chose to put Mocha Opaque adhesive gems into the spaces.

There are various swirls, and frills, 3-d flowers with Mocha Opaques in the centers, layered flowers with dyed crocheted flowers in the centers, and the "key to knowledge" all cut from this same cartridge.

Images are raised using pieces of cardboard layered under them at various thicknesses.

In this "space" banner, I cut several rose images from another sheet of paper and layered them onto the banner itself. I added some Pearl Opaques to the swirl.

The flowers in the centers are made using the white crocheted flowers that I dyed using Tulip reinker and layered onto several flower cuts from the cricut cartridge.

The flower and the butterfly are each two part images layered together. Either piece could be used independently, but they look so great together.
