My Happy Bags

I have a new addition to my Happy Bag collection. 
I just love bags, my SIL Debb makes beautiful quilts and one day she made a bag to carry some of her quilting stuff in.  Well I fell in love with her bag.  I will post a picture of her bags at a later date.  When my birthday came around she gave me this bag and it was the start of it all.  Debb called it a Happy Bag because it makes you smile when you see it.  I love sunflowers, so the sunflower material was perfect for me.  It has pockets on the outside and pockets on the inside too, it holds my CMTH paper packs perfectly and there is plenty of room for my embellishments too.
This is Happy Bag #1

For Christmas I got Happy Bag #2
She traveled all over France with me and was pictured in Monet's Garden, Normandy,  Amboise, Musee d'Orsay, on the top of the Eiffel Tower, and all around Paris.  I got lots of comments about how beautiful she was.  It was a great conversation starter.
So here she is Happy Bag #2

Last night when my Husband came home from Bocce Ball he said "Here Debb said you would know what this was for"  I thought I would scream.  My Happy Bag #3 it holds my Cricut E. it stay open so I can load my E easily.  It has 2 large pockets that can hold all my accessories.  This is so cool.  I can't believe she made me one.  I love it.

Here is Happy Bag #3

I can't tell you how much I love these bags.  If you see this Debb Thanks I love, love, love it.  I already have an embellishment in mind with a new technique that I saw.   I will post that later.



Tea Light and Art Philosophy

I thought that I would share this today.  It is a 0 calorie tiny cake inspired by the Birthday Pop at Starbucks.  Every time I see it that is excatly what I think of.  I just love making these. They make me smile.
I used one of the Flowers on the Art Philosophy Cartridge as well as 2 different scallop circles on the cartridge too.  I used the 1 1/4" Circle punch in the center of the 2" scallop on the bottom to give you access to the battery and the on/off switch.  Or if you have a Gypsy you can design it with the circle in the center.
I am not near my Cricut to give you all the detail so I will post that soon.  But here is the picture and the products used.

All products are CMTH
Ribbon is from the Pink Collection Z1384

This is For September:
Here it is Typeset X7139B, one of our new paper pack with CMTH.  Everything is cut out using the Art Philosophy cartridge. I entered it in the H2H challange too. Since it is back to school here at our house Jenn decided that the Typeset paper would be perfect for September and the start of our new monthly creation using the Display Album Z1054.  Just click on the Shop with Me to get yours.

What a cute page this made.  Hope you like it.  This was created by my DIL Jenn she is so creative.

Stamp Set:  Vintage Type D1481 for the background and tag with the coordinating Cricut cuts.
My DIL Jenn came up with this one and I just love it.  How about you?  I bet everyone in the class will love it to.

I just found out that I made it into the Cricut Chirp 8/16/2011

Wow!  I just found out that I made the Cricut Chirp 8/16/2011 here is the link.  I had posted this on the Cricut Message Board awhile back and when I opened up the Cricut Chirp and clicked to view who made it in, well there it was ME!  I arrowed back out of it because I just assumed I did something wrong and clicked on the link again and their I was again.  Funny and exciting all at the same time.  So now I have to tell everyone I made it.  That's a first for me.

here is the photo again.

Art Phlosophy meets Cherry -O for Mojo Monday #203

Here is the card I made for my first Mojo Monday Challenge # 203.  It is also a sneak peek at one of the cards for Card Class.  Aug 23rd at 6:30.

I used the New Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge and the coordinating Stamp Set Hooray Bouquet.  I have want to use it ever since I saw it at Convention.  Now I know why!  I had fun making this card start to finish and it didn't take me long either.  What makes this stamp set so different is that it has a coordinating image that you can cut from the AP cartridge and then stamp on top and it matches. The carrier sheet that has the stamps on it also has the sizes that you need to cut it out at.  Easy enough!!
Here is what I used
The paper pack is Cherry -O  because I am consuming the products not collecting them.
All the cuts are the ones that are on the stamp set.
The leaf - Sweet Leaf C/S is is from page 59 Shift> <leaf4>
The flowers- Blush, Baby Pink, White C/S is from page29 Shift> <flower6>
The center of the flower I stamped and cut out by hand.  Sunny Yellow
The border- Cranberry C/S is from page 64  Font> <Arrow2> cut at 1/2" and I welded 3 of them together with my Gypsy
