Autumn Art Philosophy Blog Hop




Welcome to our Autumn Art Philosophy Blog Hop!  Each month we are showcasing our amazing Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge which can be purchased exclusively through a Close to My Heart Independent Consultant.


It's the time of year where leaves are changing colors, temperatures are dropping, the days are shorter, and the holidays are quickly approaching. This month we will be featuring projects with an Autumn theme made using the Art  Philosophy Cricut cartridge!

Display Cube

I had a Display Cube sitting around, and I kept trying to figure out what I wanted to create with it.  I loved the Halloween Calendar idea, but I wanted something that was different.  So I decided to make a Desk Display Cube.  I used the Lucky Paper Pack and some of the embellishments that coordinated with it.
I added some Blue Buttons on the bottom for it to sit up a little on my desk, I added photos of my son that I love.  Now I can put it on my desk and see his photo all the time!

Here are a few photos of the Display Cube I created!

Enjoy!

Moonlight Halloween Layout

This is a Halloween Layout I made using the New Moonlight Paper Pack, I also used the Cricut Artiste Cartridge for the spider webs , Title and the Bat.  It was so fun to create this little bat,  Inspired by another Consultant.   I used black brads for his eyes,  and Bakers Twine Harvest Assortment,  which you can untie and open up for journaling. I used the Zip tabs from the Paper Pack to add a border towards the bottom of the layout.  I also used the Haunted Assortment to add some sparkle. 

We will be creating this layout at my next workshop October 19th, click on the Workshops tab above for more details.



Thanks for taking the time to look at my artwork!
