Full Circle With A

Heart 2 Heart Challenge

My Heart 2 Heart Color Challenge: 2012

Use Black & White with 1 other color.

In 2012 I used Twilight with Black & White for my tag collection.

In  those days we made our fancy tags and shapes with the Cricut.

Today in 2023 we have Thin Cuts to make our fancy shapes and tags.

 I used  Black & White with my favorite new color Periwinkle 

As we play Full Circle at Heart 2 Heart, it is with sadness that we say 

goodbye to this fun and awesome challenge site. I will miss your 

challenges and all the creative designers who have inspired us

through the years. Blessing to all, Jody

School Time in the Rose Blossom Garden

With Artbooking School Layout

Rose Blossom Garden Challenge #11: School theme using the

 "Z" key in Cricut Artbooking booklet page 68.

Ten years ago, Zachary started Kindergarten and had his 5th birthday all in

September 2003. Fast forward ten years, school started in August and his

15th birthday is today September 17. Happy Birthday Zach.

This layout is inspired by the layout I made ten years ago. 

It was fun to up date with current scrapbooking trends.

Page 1 uses the calendar overlay for the background of the

first day of tenth grade. The calendar title uses the border piece.

Page 2 uses the Photo Mat for this layout with "Ready" photos (getting ready),

a "Set" photo with books and backpack all set, and a "Go" photo getting 

in the car to go to school. I used the icon to say "Hello, grade 10."

Now you have until the end of the month to play with us in the Rose Blossom Garden 

and share your school themed idea. Come play with us in the garden.

Sharing From the Heart Blog Hop

Welcome to our November Sharing From the Heart blog Hop. If you have come from Heather's Creative Coconut you are on the right path. Besides the SOTM, we are sharing Thanksgiving and Christmas ideas

My project for this month's hop is a mini pocket planner using the November Stamp of the Month "Cherish the Day."  Every year I make a calender project for my Christmas gifts. This year I'm making these pocket planners. With our new Cricut  Art Philosophy cartridge this project will be quick and easy to make.

Pocket Planner

Inside has a pocket for every two months. The first pocket holds the planning card for January and February

On each side of the pocket is the monthly calendar.

Each pocket hold the planner card with a month on each side. The planner card slides into the pocket.

Thank you for hopping with us. See you next month. Now it time to hop over to Kathleen's Bowl of Stamps for some amazing inspiration.

Directions: Cut out six envelopes from page 29 of the cricut booklet. I used 4" envelopes but you can adjust the size for your needs. Cut 12 tickets for the Stamp of the month tickets for each page.  Fold envelopes, cut off the top flap, and secure together using Bonding Memories Glue. Add scraps of BTP to each side of the envelope as desired leaving the top open to insert the planner card.  Attach your calendar and embellishments to each side of the envelopes. To make the front and back cut a piece of cardstock 4X8 and fold in half. Secure the folded piece together with bonding memories glue. Decorate and embellish as desired. If you don't have a Bind-It-All you can put your planner together with 3 loose-leaf rings.  Click on Picture tutorial to view tutorial.
