CTMH Cricut Season of Joy Collection

Every year I have grand plans of creating wonderful handmade gifts for friends and family.  And inevitably every year, time gets away from me and I don’t accomplish nearly as much as I’d like!  Sound familiar?!?  This year with the help of Close To My Heart’s newest exclusive Cricut Collection–Season of Joy (only available as a digital collection; and only thru the end of the month!) I’d say I’m a bit more successful in my maker mode!

Winter Flurries Box

I love snow.  And snowflakes.  A lot actually.  I’m drawn to snowflake stamp sets, dies, wrapping paper–you name it.  If it has snowflakes, I most likely will love it!  So now that I no longer see it regularly like I did when I grew up in the Midwest, I relish the opportunity to use it in my crafting! 🙂

It’s been a pretty busy week for me as I’ve been preparing for a school craft fair today.   I made a bunch of these popcorn ornaments as I love the creative look to them.  I haven’t made them in years.  In fact, if you want to make some of your own, I did a popcorn ornament tutorial 8 years ago (wow, 8 years! )

Just Treats Triangle Box

Today’s project is one that we created at my Technique Time Class last month with the September Stamp of the Month–Just Treats.  I love this stamp set.  And even though you can no longer order it, I figured I’d still share this project as it’s a fun one (and many of you probably own the set!)  This project is one I’ve made for years–in different sizes and different styles–always with great results!
