All the projects also have images cut from the new "Artiste" cricut cartridges that is only available from a CTMH consultant beginning August 1st. It is so fabulous, you are going to love it!

Stella Easel Card with drawers

I had the opportunity and pleasure to make an item for the silent auction at the Close To My Heart 2012 Convention held in Dallas, Texas. I made one of my easel card boxes but chose to make it three levels high. I used all CTMH products including the Stella paperpack, Stella canvas stickers, rhinestone flourishes and bouquet assortment embellishments.

You can see a video tutorial in the right column on my blog which shows one layer of drawers.

Magnolia Thank you Easel Card

This is the card that I made for my daughter's grade three teacher this year. As the year comes to a close, my daughter is anticipating missing Ms. Renton next year as she has been her favourite teacher so far. I wanted to make her something special to thank her for the guidance and teaching she gave my daughter.

Thanks so much Ms. Renton!

Thanks for looking and enjoy!
