I used the exclusive close to my heart cartridge artiste to make the fun rosettes. <br />
<br />
The kids and I made the green slime for their friends at daycare. It was a fun project!! The kids loved that the slime made noise when we put it in the tubes.<br />

It's exclusive to CTMH (just like Art Philosophy) and includes the cartridge, 3 stamp sets that coordinate with the cartridge, and 3 sets of dimensional elements that go along with the cartridge images. There are alot of 3D images on there and they look amazing! You can view the handbook online by clicking <a href="http://www.cricut.com/res/handbooks/artiste_handbook_web.pdf" target="_blank">here</a> -- be patient it's a large PDF file so it will take a few minutes to load. <br />
<br />
There are also some uber adorable holiday paper packs and stamps in the new Idea Book. I have to stop looking through the book-- everytime I do I add more items to my shipping list!<br />

I heard AMAZING things about it, which is why I joined CTMH when I did. I used it Tuesday night to make gift bags for the admins at hubby's work. (Talk about late night, last minute crafting!) <br />
<br />
I think the bags turned out <span style="background-color: white; color: magenta; font-size: large;"><u>AWESOME</u></span>! I was totally surprised at how <span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">{Easy}</span> it was to use make them. This was my first time using CTMH stamps. I have to admit that I was worried about the clarity of stamps -- my other clear stamps just aren't as crisp as my wood mount stamps, but I was proven<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"> {</span><span style="color: blue;">WRONG}</span></span>! The stamps were crystal clear to read! <br />
<br />
I filled the bags with some candy (Lifesavers, Mounds bar, Payday, 100 grand, and York peppermint patty) and included this little note -- <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 22.5pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><em><span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75;">You are such a
“lifesaver”!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We appreciate your “Mounds”
of knowledge and your com“mint”ment to us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You’re worth “100 Grand”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If only
we could give you an extra “Payday”!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Happy Admin Day!</span></em> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
Hubby got lots of compliments!<br />

This weeks challenge was to use CI Paints on acetate or acrylic. I decided to use the negatives from a vinyl cut and paint on a 6x6 acrylic square. LOVE how it turned out! So sparkly! I wish you could see it IRL (in real life)! It's awesome! Pictures don't do it justice!!!<br />

Things are soo busy lately! Anyone else feeling the pick up in your schedules as the weather gets nicer?? This week the CI DT was challenged to Go 3D with their paints. Here's what I came up with<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s574.photobucket.com/albums/ss182/dsconley05/?action=view¤t=DSCF0644.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss182/dsconley05/DSCF0644.jpg" /></a><br />
It's a magnet board that I modge podged (love that stuff!) with scrapbook paper. I then painted 3 clear gem stones in Sea Foam, Aqua Marine, and Tickled Pink and glued a magnet to the back side. I was so amazed at how well the paint took to the gems! AWESOME! It really gives my magnet board a pop of color! I can't wait to hang this up in my kitchen!!<br />
Here's a close up -- Can you say HELLO COLOR!!!!<br />

I cut my flower out of purple paper from the Paisley Cricut Cartrdige. I painted it with Royal Purple CI Paint. It matched my paper perfectly and gave it the most amazing spakle. I used a white prima flower on top. I painted it with a mixture of Fairy Dust and Royal Purple paint. I added a jewel to the center. Paper is from DCWV. <br />

It's my first post for the Creative Inspiration Design Team. I previously showed you my Think Spring card that I made using creative inspirations paints -- if you missed it, check it out <a href="http://conixoncreations.blogspot.com/2010/03/think-spring-card.html">HERE</a>!<br />
<br />
Here's my latest project using CI Paints! BTW --they are sooo incredible! They are soo easy to use and have such AMAZING color!! You definitely have to add these to your must have list!<br />
<br />
<br />
I cut my flower out of velum on my cricut. There are 8 layers! They I painted it with Sunshine and Green Olive CI Paints. Isn't it amazing how well the paints colored the velum?!! I embossed the card with Cuttlebugs D'Vine Swirls embossing folder and then painted Lavender on the embossing. I dipped my paintbrush into water and then into the paint to get a more subtle effect. <br />
<br />

Bunny is from A Child's Year. It was actually a tag, but I hid the contours and made him super big in DS. YAY for DS! I embossed him with swiss dots using my rolling pin method (no cuttlebug ) Then used a SU sweet treat cup to hold the jelly beans!<br />

I've seen tons of posts on the cricut message board and other websites, so I decided to try one for myself. They are sooo easy and sooo fun!

Want to know how to make your own??<br />
<br />
<ol><li>Take a can with a pop top lid -- I used a pear can -- and use a safety can open to open the bottom. </li>
<li>Empty out the contents, wash the can and lid and peel the label.. Allow to dry</li>
<li>Cut paper to fit around the outside of the can. Glue or tape.</li>
<li>Decorate the outside of the can. I used vinyl to put her name on it. You can use rhinestones, stickers, ribbon, the possibilities are ENDLESS!!</li>
<li>Decorate the lid. I traced a piece of paper to fit on the lid, leaving room for the tab. Then I decorated with ribbon and a tag that says "pull"</li>
<li>Fill the inside with goodies.</li>
<li>Use superglue (be careful not to glue your fingers like I did) and adhere the bottom. Allow to try.</li>
<li>Give to recipient!! </li>
</ol>For the binder clips -- I just cut soem paper to size of the clip, then modge podged on. EASY!!!<br />

They are <span style="color: purple; font-size: x-large;">AMAZING</span>!!! I was expecting them to be more clear, but they are actually a paint. I welded think spring in CDS and cut the words and the flowers out on white cardstock and then painted them with CI Paints. I ABSOLUTELY <span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">LOVE</span> THEM!!! Purple cardstock is embossed with the cuttlebug spots and dots folder.<br />
<br />
I can't wait to play some more!! I've heard some of the other DT girls are using them in misting bottles, in stamp pads, and other fun techniques. Make sure you check out their blogs as well (listed below)!!<br />
