I'm at it again.  I love this technique. 

I cut several shapes from my very favorite retired paper pack Clover Meadow and Holiday Red. I settled on the circles and made a few stars from a non CTMH piece of sparkle paper that I have hoarded up for some time.  I think it turned out really nice.  The card at the right is one I made for convention in Disney Land.  Even before we had the Art Philosophy cartridge.  My girl friends and I cut each and every star out by hand.  Boy am I glad we got the cartridges.  I think we are very fortunate. 

 I have just finished making this card and my scrap booking room looks like it was hit by a bomb!  I saw this card at a Bizarre and quickly ran home to make it.  This is what my memory tells me it looked like, minus the paper and stamp set.

This is my first card for my workshop next month. I used Pear and Partridge paper package, New England Ivy and Cranberry Inn, sparkles and our famous Shimmer Trim. I duplicated the large flower on page 88 of the idea book by using the dimensions on the stamp set D1480 Snowflakes. The center flower was cut using the Cranberry Paper and the bottom snowflake was Smoothie. the holly was cut 2 1/4. My strip of the striped paper was 3 1/2 x 5 1/2. I used 3D foam tape to raise both snowflakes. Boy the cricut sure makes getting ready for a workshop a whole lot easier. Hope you like it.
 

I can't stop making these cards.  It's so much fun and the creativity is unlimited.  Hope you like it.
