The Hunger Games

Have you heard of that little movie called, "The Hunger Games?"  Silly questions, right?  My daughter-in-law is a HUGE fan of the books and saw the movie over the weekend. 

She wanted a shirt to wear to the movie, so a friend of mine converted the Mockingjay symbol into an .svg file for us.  I used my SCAL software and my Cricut to cut out the template with contact paper (you can also use vinyl) and applied it to the t-shirt.  My daughter-in-law and son then used a foam brush to dab the gold paint on and then added a coat of glitter paint as well.

First Card with Art Philosophy Cartridge

This is a card I made with my new Art Philosophy cartridge from Close To My Heart.  I want to show you that you don't necessarily need a lot of bling or embellishments to make a cute card.  The only thing I did do to enhance my card, was to run the paper through my Cuttlebug.



You can see on the card base that I used the Polka Dots Cuttlebug folder and the Divine Swirls folder for the blue mat.  On each of the starbursts, I used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder and then added one of the 3-D flowers from the AP cartridge.


For the inside of the card, I used the outside layer of the mat that I have on the front of the card.  I added a piece of white cardstock to write my message on.  This is one of the more simple cards I've made and I really like the way it turned out.  I think I will be using the Art Philosophy cartridge alot! 

I would be happy to tell you how to get this cartridge free!  Time is limited though.  Contact me before the end of this month for details.
