       Have you heard that Close To My Heart has an exclusive Cricut cartridge called Art Philosophy? What makes this cartridge so special from others is not that it has over 700 images (card, tags, borders, shapes, Letters, 3-D objects, you get the idea) on it but it comes with 3 stamp sets that match some of the images( there are a lot more stamp sets in the Idea book too) And 3 sets of Dimensional  Elements that also match, You could say it was like a match made in heaven or at least you will feel like you are in heaven when you put them all together.  


Below is a sample of what you can do with just one of the 50 different buttons on the key pad. 



I am  booking FREE private and group lessons if you would like to join in just let me know. Each person who has a lesson between Aug.1 - 30 will be entered into a drawing for a FREE stamp set.
