Guess what I got yesterday!! My new Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge from CTMH!!

You know you are going to be excited with the unveiling of each Idea Book, but can I tell you I don't know HOW they will top this one.

I got my NEW Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge just released from Close To My Heart. And can I tell you it is done CTMH style. Highest quality down to the box. The box is all plastic, no cardboard, all plastic.


Here is what you get in the bundle. 
I know you can't see well from the photo, but each stamp image that lines up with a cricut cartridge, gives you a measurement to cut on your machine for a perfect match. Cut the image, stamp, DONE!!
I can NOT wait to play with this baby. Of coarse I want every other stamp set in the idea book that matches up with the cartridge. Oh boy, this may be my highest sales year yet!!
Here is a little peak at the back of the box. 
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Yes, I have an addiction, and it just got worse. Isn't the first part of getting better admitting it, HA!!
Thanks Close To My Heart, you have yet done it again.

I used a new cuttlebug embossing folder, well, for me it is new.
