CTMH Artiste Holiday Wall Art

So we got these metal stars in at the store last week and I felt the need to decorate it with paper. The cardstock is from Basic Grey's "Jovial" collection.  After looking at it over the last week this was how I decided to decorate it. I used my Cricut CTMH Artiste to make the pointsetias and of course added some bling. I love the way it turned out. Take a look at the shape index for this cartridge WOW!! there is alot on there! http://www.closetomyheart.com/~/media/B75F78F3260243BFAB6F32EA4037F50C.ashx

Cricut, CTMH Hostess Gifts and Favors "Dotty For You"

So I made these post it note holders from my favorite CTMH stamp set "Crafted With Love" , "Dotty For You" card stock, matching inks and my AP cartridge.  I have had so much fun making these for my hostesses and as give a away's for an upcoming expo I am doing this weekend. Sorry but no matter what I do my picture program will not get this flipped right when I try to upload it here. This is frustrating me and I am posting it anyway! I hope you like them. I love that I can now use my cricut and my stamps together :)

Happy Mothers Day!!!!
