<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In May my first granddaughter arrived and I have been spending most of my free time making little 'girlie' things and working on her photo albums. It started as one album and now the number has grown to three!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have retired as a consultant with Close to My Heart but the good news is that I have enough supplies to last me a lifetime! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My part time job has kept me busy and I am enjoying being able to sew, stamp and scrap often!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My project earlier this month was to create a flamingo stamp for the upcoming "Flamingo on the Fly" Tampa Bay area Shop Hop.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have had my <i><b><a href="http://pazzles.com/">Pazzles</a></b></i> machine since I retired in 2011 and it is my go-to machine when I am working on a paper project. Last year I purchased the "Red Queen" and I have been learning the InVue software over the last few months. I quickly jumped in and created a flamingo stamp for the Shop Hop passport!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love the <b><i><a href="http://dailyarthub.com/">"Daily Art Hub" </a> </i></b>site and joined as a club member so I have full access to all of the their designs. This design is from the Flamingo set and I used the first design in the set.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I followed the tutorial on the Pazzles web site to finally use the stamp kit that I purchased a few years ago! If you would like to give this a try, check out the article posted on Scrapbooking.com <a href="http://scrapbooking.com/article/76135">here</a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I followed a few steps to load the SVG into the software and converted it to a line drawing. I made a duplicate of the basic design and then re-sized it to fit the passport space.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Life sure has been busy around here!! My son and DIL bought a house and moved in on Sunday! YES, I took plenty of pictures but I am not even close to printing them, let alone get them onto a page. But this stamp set is perfect for this momentous occasion!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This month's stamp set is a very happy yet versatile stamp set. <b><i>S1505 Just</i> <i>Sayin' </i></b> is perfect for both layouts and cards- something little to accent your artwork!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you have been hopping with us, then you have arrived from Melinda's blog <a href="http://ifyoublingit.blogspot.com/2015/04/just-sayin-join-us-for-may-stamp-of.html">here.</a> Isn't her design FAB-u-lous?? </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a sample layout from Close to My Heart. Notice how they used the banners to add accents to the page.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I decided to create the PML cards on page 114 of the Annual Inspirations book. I am currently working on my trip from last year to Alaska and it is so hard to create a page for each photo so these PML cards are perfect!</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our last day of the trip was a one day visit in Seattle so we decided to tour the Space Needle and the Chihuly museum. The day was absolutely picture perfect!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />I was able to scrap 6 photos in one page protector! Woohoo! Paper, complements and washi tape are from the Wanderful WOTG. A perfect complement to my photos.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since I am not typically a card maker, I always try to think outside the box for a scrapbook layout. The first step I take is to look for ideas from others. These are the two creations from Close to My Heart. The first one is a card</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The second one is a pack of playing cards.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But I was unable to be inspired by anything else besides a card! So I dug into my Basics collection of paper and created this 'manly' look Father's Day card. My husband collects vintage audio items and this old radio was a perfect backdrop for my picture. Two strips of shimmer trim for an added accent and it is done!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Try as I might to use this stamp in a layout, I just couldn't come up with anything cutesy about my life! Really... So my design is a card. I needed a quick card to send off and this one will fit the bill! A few leftover cut files from a "Cricut Fail" and the card is done!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The inks I used are Pear, Pixie and Thistle. The greeting is with Slate. I wanted a dark color but not black. This worked perfectly! Now I can write my message and send off my card.</span></div>

While I am sure that many of you love Christmas, that is not one of my favorite holidays! Actually it is Halloween but I decided to scrapbook Thanksgiving for this post because this holiday is rapidly becoming one of my most favorite holidays!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love cooking for my small family and celebrating all that is blessed and wonderful about our life. I am thrilled that I am able to finish a scrapbook layout before the 1st of December. Thanks to the Close to My Heart November special, I was able to print a few layouts for only $5.00!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is my layout using the Studio J Pathfinding paper pack. This paper pack is a brand new addition to Studio J and I am so grateful they decided to add several of the new paper packs to the program.</span><br />

How did this year fly by so fast?! It may be because my family had so many big events scheduled for this year, that we didn't have time to stop and think about each and every day.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With all of the craziness of the Thanksgiving Holiday, I decided I was going to need to look elsewhere for some inspiration!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I found this great sketch for November at <b><i>Stuck?!Sketches <a href="http://stucksketches.blogspot.com/2014/11/a-feature-and-reminder.html">here</a></i></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used some of my retired Sparkle and Shine paper because I was going for more of the whimsical holiday than the traditional one. This sketch is a great use of scraps and my cutie pies are of the canine variety!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can see I mixed up the sketch to make it my own which is what many of us do...just sayin'. I did add a few items from my stash - the silver ribbon from Michaels and the plastic snowflake strip from Fancy Pants. But the rest are all from the Sparkle and Shine paper pack.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

One of the reasons I started scrapbooking is because I love buttons, lace, trims and 'stuff'!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I decided to dig out last year's Sparkle and Shine from Close to My Heart and find any of the paper scraps that I could. I love the Herringbone technique and I first learned of this through the Club Scrap forum.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What an easy technique! 1/2" strips to form a herringbone shape on a card front - EZPZ!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ADubXmDlSJ0/VGlH3kMfW_I/AAAAAAAAFkc/1FcCrmPbs0Y/s1600/NO%2Bembellishments.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ADubXmDlSJ0/VGlH3kMfW_I/AAAAAAAAFkc/1FcCrmPbs0Y/s1600/NO%2Bembellishments.jpg" height="293" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I started creating my card front and it went together very quickly! I added a few strips of scraps and a snip from one of the zip strips! I wanted to add a brad, a button or SOMETHING to the top left. But I settled on a small strip of paper to look like a staple!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">enjoy!....</span></div>

I love their kits because everything matches and I finish my layouts and get them into the photo albums.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is the Fall PSL Challenge and I am on Tricia's Pumpkin team. The first challenge was a color challenge. We had to make sure that one of the colors was on each page we submitted. EASY!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The brand new Artfully Sent cartridge includes 250 card designs plus 150 other projects along with envelopes and liners.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am busy working on my son's wedding album and I am using the retired "For Always" paper pack. As you might imagine we took several hundred photos of the event including a few extra days in California.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Picture My Life "For Always" cards are a perfect addition but I also wanted to incorporate the wedding colors of Outdoor Denim, Sweet Leaf and Slate.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I found several pocket card ideas in the Artfully Sent cartridge. I created a file of both horizontal and vertical pocket cards in the 3" x 4" size. It was quick and easy to add some scraps, stickers and embellishments.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love Studio J as an <u>addition</u> to my traditional scrapbooking. It will not ever totally replace my love for paper, trims and buttons! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. It is neat and clean - no mess to clean up or organize!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. I can scrap anywhere as long as I have an internet connection.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. I can "design' my layouts in Studio J and move and change things around until I am ready to cut it out in paper.</span></div>

Can you guess what it is?.... It is NO Stamping! Now THIS is a crisis to me!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started in 2005 with Close to My Heart because I love to stamp! I have purchased many stamps throughout the 'almost 10 years' with the company.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">SO this week is a <u>real</u> challenge! But I was able to create my second page to the wedding layout with NO stamping AND scraps of paper and embellishments - an additional bonus!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the <i>Picture My Life</i> cards and I knew that I could create my own with scraps of B & T paper, zip strips and <span style="font-size: x-small;">small pieces</span> of leftovers! Plus I will be able to complete a page for the wedding album in NO time!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ljwhCN_js4k/VFbSgwtqZ3I/AAAAAAAAFg4/npOejLS3ZRg/s1600/Happy%2BCouple%2Bfinal%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ljwhCN_js4k/VFbSgwtqZ3I/AAAAAAAAFg4/npOejLS3ZRg/s1600/Happy%2BCouple%2Bfinal%2B2.jpg" height="396" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here the second half of the layout from the previous post. I realized after I posted this pic that I have two of the same photos on this page. NOT to worry - because the next post will 'fix' that issue...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you will join us for this week's challenge of NO-stamping! Let me know if you need any therapy to assist you through the "NO-stamping Challenge"! Just add your artwork with this <a href="http://www.inlinkz.com/new/luAddLink.php?id=463381&cookie=53c3bfb34cc0a&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fheart2heartchallenges.blogspot.com%2F">link.</a></span></div>

The first NO Challenge for <i>NO-vember</i> is NO<b> B & T paper</b>. Many times for me, this is not a crisis and this week proved to be no exception.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been eyeing the one page layout on page 108 of the Annual Inspirations and I thought this would be a perfect week to create my own layout. I have many pages to finish of my son's wedding album and I thought this page would give me the motivation to start working on it again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I designed the layout in Design Space and then adjusted the colors to match the color scheme of the wedding. I can see this layout used for anniversary, birthday and other meaningful events.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I first looked at this stamp set, I thought - there is NO way that I am cutting out all of these little pieces! So I decided to play around with stamping the images. I found a card I made several years ago using the "doodling' technique and I "googled' doodling and boy did I get an updated 21st century version!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I flipped through the Annual Inspirations and I found inspiration in the Brushed Floral paper. If you have been following my blog lately, then you know that this is quite the opposite of colors that I have been using!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today is the day I start to finish as many Halloween projects as I can! Then I will pack up Halloween on Sunday and start my Thanksgiving projects! As I said each year, I try to add more projects to my plastic tub, so I can have an awesome display for next year. You will notice that many of my projects were basically cardstock, rather than paper packs and that is the reason why!</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Only 3 more days until Halloween is here! A few of the neighbors have decorated their houses and one is especially SPOOKY! The project for today is a shaker card. As I was organizing my Halloween stash, I came across several packages of Halloween Confetti. I 'googled' and found several Halloween shaker cards and designed mine using a combination of the CTMH Art Philosophy and Artbooking cartridges.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since I have to design all of my cuts in Design Space, sharing the DS files is easy. So you can find the</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Design Space file is </span><a href="https://us.cricut.com/design/#/canvas/project/21676092" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">here</a><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A Close to My Heart consultant requested a Cricut Craft Room file for the card so she could make it with her Expression 2. You can download the <b>CCR file</b> <a href="https://app.box.com/s/0jrp5c9tz13cj97uxil0">here.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The cream colored cut is actually the cut for the acetate to hold all of the shaker pieces in your card. The colors I used are Sunset, Honey, Black and White Daisy. The stamp set is again the Moonlight WOTG stamp set - an oldie but a goodie!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today's post was inspired by the theme "Midnight" for this week's H2H Challenge. The word <i><b>Midnight </b></i>does conjure up images of dark, scary nights.... but I knew right away what I wanted to do when I saw this bottle of wine sitting on my Target shelf!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of my FAV-orite wines ...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uzMaGF9s3_A/VE17WOpVhmI/AAAAAAAAFas/FqAdkrF72Xs/s1600/wine%2Bcharms%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uzMaGF9s3_A/VE17WOpVhmI/AAAAAAAAFas/FqAdkrF72Xs/s1600/wine%2Bcharms%2B3.jpg" height="400" width="297" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted to make some wine charms but not the traditional ones with a wire but a paper version. I found these as I was 'googling' wine charms. Have you noticed how that word has turned into a verb rather than an noun? OK- you didn't pay attention in English class!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I created this quick and easy Cricut Design Space file you can find <a href="https://us.cricut.com/design/#/canvas/project/21560137">here.</a> The circle in the middle is .5" and you may have to change it to fit your wine glass stem.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GQxz4iuNU88/VE18kiKq0VI/AAAAAAAAFa0/pz4d8XN5u-s/s1600/wine%2Bcharms%2Bds.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GQxz4iuNU88/VE18kiKq0VI/AAAAAAAAFa0/pz4d8XN5u-s/s1600/wine%2Bcharms%2Bds.JPG" height="265" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is a simple 3.5 circle with a 3.0 circle center. The center circle varies from .5 to .65 to accommodate the width of the stem. Easy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Did you notice that the one charm has a decorative edge to it? I created that wine charm in the<i> Pazzles Inspiration Pro 2014 s</i>oftware using the Decorative Tools option - the lesson today with the amazing Klo!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Boo...hoo...hoo... </span></b></i>I have been working on today's projects for a few days. I decorated my home about a week ago and I found this tissue box project that I had several years ago. I found the original idea on SplitCoast stampers <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/tissueboxcover">here</a>. At the time, I had just started my blog and I don't remember posting this project. So I decided to update it to a 21st century version.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A friend of mine had given me some 'swankies' or Halloween Hankies. I was going to design a file for them but then decided to make the tissue box cover instead.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I knew that I didn't have to cut it out and score it by hand like the original directions. So I designed the first file in my Pazzles InVue software. This software is designed so that I can actually measure the sizes accurately.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was able to create the jagged hairline using the decorative scissors option in the Pazzles Inspiration Pro 2014 software. The face features were created using <i>weld</i>, <i>subtract weld </i>and with the frankie mouth I used the <i>Intersect weld feature</i> on the Pazzles InVue software. Our amazing <b>Klo</b> taught this lesson last Sunday and this was a perfect use of that very lesson!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I saved it as an SVG but the Cricut Design Space was not reading it accurately enough so I had to start with the basic shapes and recreate the entire file. I had to tweak the original design a few times to make sure the score lines were in the correct places. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a picture of the Cricut Design Space file. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can find the file </span><a href="https://us.cricut.com/design/#/canvas/project/21566007" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">here</a> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The faces are from the <i><b>CTMH Artiste</b></i> cartridge and the oval is from the <i><b>CTMH</b></i> <i><b>Art Philosophy</b></i> cartridge. You can certainly substitute a file you already 'own'!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Unfortunately in Design Space you can not add a cut line like you can in the Pazzles software, so you are going to have to snip the corners with a pair of scissors.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you enjoyed this creative fun Halloween project. Leave me a comment if you cut any of the files out. The assembly is rather easy and you can always refer back to the Splitcoast video. I inked up the sides and sanded Frankie's hair for additional accents.</span></div>
