The Close to My Heart (CTMH) Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge has this super useful door hanger project that is very easy to make. I added a few other things to mine and themed it as a candy filled “BOO” gift for Halloween but the box itself is just one cut. YAY to that! Everything seen here…
How much do you love that baby hat?! Oh, so cute! It’s easy too. All you need is some iron on (heat transfer) vinyl, a die cut machine (or a very steady hand), an iron and a baby hat. Need vinyl? I like to buy mine from Expressions Vinyl. I bought this hat super cheap…
When I saw this fox in the Close To My Heart, Wild About Love, stamp set I started playing right away, which you can see right here in this Instagram photo I took. You’ll also notice that I was using Stickles which didn’t make it to this finished project. Sometimes the idea that you have in…
I’m so proud of myself for starting early on this Valentine’s Day project for my Mom. She lives several hours away, so I thought I’d make her an album with some recent photos of the five of us, plus cat and dog. Normally, this idea would live in my head until June where I’d then…
Here’s a fun treat box that is perfect for Thanksgiving! Well, actually it can be themed for any time of the year which is what makes it super cool in my opinion. All you have to do is change out the paper and voila, perfect for any occasion! I’m using the Cricut Expression 2 and…
I bought these Iris containers to help me corral some craft supplies. I love them because they fit on my standard bookshelf on their front or side. I’m keeping them sideways to maximize bookshelf space. Goodness knows I need it! LOL! I’m using this one to hold my Close to My Heart Cricut cartridges, stamps…
Today I used the Cricut Artbooking cartridge, available through Close to My Heart, to make a masculine card for my husband. The “Hello World” saying is perfect for a new baby but it can also be used for a software/programming card because “Hello World” is one of the first programs that people learn. My husband has…
The new Cricut Universal Overlay is a big change from the previous overlay style. Not only has the look changed but there will no longer be individual overlays for each cartridge. This video shows you how to use the new Universal Overlay, including how the digital Universal Overlay works with the Cricut Expression 2. I…

I had fun making these mini album pages today. I’m excited to be able to look back over some fun things our family has done. You may recognize the waterfall photo on the right. It’s from the trip we took last weekend. Check it out here! I’m so glad I’m documenting these things. I’m using…
This was my first time using any of the Close To My Heart Cricut cartridges and stamps. I’m in love. I’ll be honest. I’ve stayed away from this paring because I sell my own line of stamps. One day I thought, “So what?! These products are cool!” There’s room enough in my crafty world for…
