Make a stop at each of the Creative Cutter Room Design Team member's blog, leave a comment on each, then head over to the Canvas Corp Facebook page and leave them the following comment: 
" I just hopped along with the Creative Cutter Room Canvas Corp Blog Hop!" 

Now lets get hopping....
I took a plain brown plate I purchased from Hobby Lobby and used the wonderful Canvas Corp Chocolate & Ivory Paper Collection to create a new home for one of my husband's favorite pictures.  I started by using my Plantin Schoolbook cartridge to cut a 8 1/4" circle that would fit in the center. 
I then cut a scalloped circle from the Storybook cartridge out of the chocolate & ivory polka dot paper to place behind the picture.  I used more of the same paper in smaller scalloped circles to create a grunge flower sprayed with glimmer mist.  The gold flower on the plate was made using Canvas Corp's gold embossed paper....this stuff is GORGEOUS!!!! I love the look, texture and weight of this paper.  Even embossed it cut beautifully on the Cricut. 
I also used 4 mini canvases and 3 pennant tags from their product line.  I cut the triangle pieces down a bit so they fit on each of the 3x3 canvases and then sprayed them with some glimmer mist to match the other jewelry dept. embellishments from my stash. I used some floral dept. accessories like a large stem and some feathers for that FALL LOOK.
My studio is heavy on the red decor so I covered one of the mini canvases in red burlap to tie it with my room.  The last step was to add letters selling "LOVE"" with the Art Nouveau cartridge.

I hope that you liked my project.....I really LOVED working with Canvas Corp!  Their paper is versatile, their card stock is the best I have found to use with your Cricut, their specialty products are unique and add so much to your Paper Projects.
Be sure and check them out they are definitely worth Buying & Trying!!!

I thought it would be fun to share some of this wonderful product with one lucky Follower, so I created a sample pack of Canvas Corp products.  All you have to do is leave a comment on this post. I will close the comments on October 15 and announce the winner that week. Winner must contact me within 1 week to claim prize.

Sorry Due to postal issues this is open to US Residents.
