I made these fun jars for the HR girls and the skittles test tubes for some other coworkers. I used the exclusive close to my heart cartridge artiste to make the fun rosettes.
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.
ETA -- I'm posting from my phone for the first time and apparently I haven't figured out to get my pictures in order -- sorry about that!

Oh my! Christmas is already less than 5 months away! Can you beleive it?! It's a great time to start a great tradition with this adorable Advent Calendar kit from CTMH!
Close To My Heart just relased their new Idea Book for the fall and oh my goodness are there some amazing new products!
On the top of my wishlist is the newest cricut cartridge -- Artiste Collection! 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 here -- be patient it's a large PDF file so it will take a few minutes to load.
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!
WOW! June is Stampaganza at Close to My Heart! Buy 2 stamps get one free! You can order from the current Idea book (Spring/Summer 2012) or from the Autum/Winter 2011 Idea Book. You can view both on my page -- www.stephsscrappyspot.ctmh.com. Plus spend $50 and get the stamp of the month for $5! Who doesn't need more stamps?!
The Art Philosophy cartridge is exclusive to Close to My Heart. 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!)
I think the bags turned out AWESOME! I was totally surprised at how {Easy} 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 {WRONG}! The stamps were crystal clear to read!
I filled the bags with some candy (Lifesavers, Mounds bar, Payday, 100 grand, and York peppermint patty) and included this little note --
If you haven't seen close to my heart products you definitely need to check them out! They sell amazing scrapbook and craft supplies! And their clearance section is awesome!! I signed up so I could get the exclusive cartridge - art philosophy and have fallen in love with the products!
