Ever wonder what you should do with your extra scrap paper? How about use it to make a Home Decor Ball like this one?!?

I used scraps from the Close To My Heart Mischief paper pack and cut 3/4" circles using the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. I adhered them to a 3" Styrofoam ball and tada!!! Now I have a fun Fall/Halloween decor ball to add to my table. I can't wait to start working on some Christmas ones. You could even make them into an ornament by just adding a ribbon to the top.

Can I just say for the millionth time how much I love the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge? When you think about it the cost of the Art Philosophy Cricut Collection is SO minimal and let me tell you why I think that. Think about all the shapes on this fabulous cartridge (700 of them)... now for example lets just focus on 1 shape: a circle. I have several circle punches that I have purchased over time (prior to the AP cartridge). I have a Stampin Up 2" circle punch which cost $16.95, also a 1 1/4" which cost $15.95 and several other sizes. I probably have 5 circle punches. Now lets do the math... 5 CIRCLE punches is approx $80. WHAT?!? $80 for FIVE sizes of circles. That's crazy! Now why would anyone think the Art Philosophy Cricut Collection is too pricey when 5 sizes of circles is going to cost you around $80 but you could get 700 different images and cut them from sizes 1/4" to 23 1/2" on an Expression. It's a no brainer that if you don't have this cartridge yet you NEED it! Order it today!

On to some really EXCITING NEWS....
