My Finished Project
I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday! My 4th was pretty quiet. But I did get my project finished - just in time for the 4th of July! I'm very pleased with it!
I used the CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge, cutting 2-1/2" and 2" flowers, which can be found on p. 69 of the Art Philosophy booklet (it's the flower made with the Shift key on that page). I want to thank Angela Jones Garcia for her project, which was my inspiration!
I was so pleased with myself that I thought I'd take this crafting 'high' and keep going with it - I'm already working on my NEXT project! While I like to scrapbook, I also like to make things - home decor or gifts. I decided I wanted to find something different to work on and hit Pinterest for ideas. I found some really neat silhouette ideas using scrapbooking paper and the light-bulb in my head went off and away I went working on the idea! It's going to take a bit, but... Stay tuned!
(Plus, I am expecting a box from Close To My Heart coming tomorrow with some really neat paper and other things in it! I found cute pics of Matthew to scrapbook, so I ordered this paper. Can't wait to show you!)
Besides my crafting 'high' there is another impetus for me to craft - CTMH's annual convention is this week and unfortunately I won't be going. I'm excited to see new things, but also VERY envious of my CTMH sisters that are attending!
Have a MARVelous time crafting everyone!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
I have just tonight and tomorrow to finish the project I've been working on - yes, it's a 4th of July project! Nothing like waiting until the last minute, right? But that is SO me.
I spent last week at a meeting in Washington DC. I love the history of our country, learning about the people that shaped it. I took an afternoon and headed over to the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery and looked at the paintings of all of our presidents. Each painting had a brief story about the president - very intriguing! Of course, there were other portraits and sculptures, and even non-portrait paintings. I'm in awe of the talent of these artists.
A business trip leaves little time for being creative - and getting back home and back into my routine has held me back, too. But July 3 is a day off, and the holiday is Saturday. After cooking for a friend's 4th of July party & attending the same party - I plan on scrapbooking.
Oh, really, tell you something you don't know, right? ;-)
I hope everyone has a really fantastic holiday weekend! Perhaps the rain will hold off a bit so we can sit in dry lawns and watch fireworks in amazement!
When you have the chance: Have a MARVelous time crafting everyone!
