Seasonal Expressions 2 Blog Hop!


Welcome to our Seasonal Expressions 2 Blog Hop! Today we are featuring artwork created with products from Close To My Heart's new Seasonal Expressions 2 Book. We have over 40 Consultants participating in this circular hop so when you get back to me, you will know you have visited all of the blogs! Be sure to leave comments! We LOVE reading comments. If you came from Michelle Battitori's blog you are on the right track! If you get lost along the way you can find the entire participating hoppers HERE.

I am so excited about the new SE2 book!  The front cover is yummy isn't it?  I immediately fell in love with everything inside.  I had a difficult time deciding what I wanted to do for this new product blog hop.  I love mini albums and there are 2 new ones in this book.  Finally, I decided on the My Creations Mini Folio Album Z3070.  This cute little accordion fold album has 5 4x4 panels.  It has a string that wraps around a clear plastic closure to keep the book closed.


I chose a sports theme for this album because I think it would make a great little individual gifts for teams.  Simple and quick!  



I used the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge to cut frames and coordinating shapes for the new Team Player Stamp Set (D1652). 


Colors: Juniper, Glacier, Pear and Slate

New Products Used:

My Creations Mini Folio Album (Z3070)

Documenting Moments D1647

    Adorable! I love how nicely the washi tape fits the sports theme. Great project (and great to see what the inside of one of those albums looks like)!

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
