Hello,

It's time for a new challenge at Decorate to Celebrate! 

It's Anything Goes - create decorations for anything you please (3-D projects, cards in a box, and cards with any 3-D cut out on it). 

I made this wall decoration with my Cricut:

Supplies:
Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge from CTMH (heart, banners and rose)
stamps (CTMH)
patterned papers (KI Memories, The Paper Studio)
hemp string
mini clothespins
paper flowers (Recollection)
Brilliance ink pad

I cut the same heart shape (almost 11 inches) out of white cardstock and pink patterned paper. The white heart was altered in CCR. I also cut out 4 flags in black and a spiral in cream, which I rolled into a rose.
Don't know if you can see it in the pics, but I weaved hemp around the open spaces, and also used hemp for hanging the banner and the heart.
I spelled "LOVE" (using stamps and a pearlescent ink pad) on the flags and added them with clothespins. I like using Brilliance ink pads on black paper...it gives you the chalkboard look with a little bit of shimmer.
I finished it up with two cut out butterflies and layered flowers with the rose.

Thank you for stopping by!

Guess How Much...Scrapbook Layout

Hello,

This is my second week as the guest designer over at H2H CTMH Challenge Blog!
The challenge for this week is Hearts Galore...

I'm trying to scrapbook more this year, and since I'm in love with the Artbooking Cricut cartridge, I decided to make a 2-page layout using solely cuts from this cartridge.
I've worked on this layout for about 2 weeks...talk about a work of love! Or maybe a work of a slow crafter! =)

Here's a close-up of the file folder...
