In order to offer even more creative options, we’ve partnered with Cricut to create coordinating mini collections for the paper collections featured in our bi-monthly catalogs!

After 3 out of 3 collections I have learned that this can take several attempts on both the Cricut and CTMH fronts.
Thank you for sharing that Christmas in July.
I love those ideas.
Unfortunately, missed the Christmas in July (it was my goof) but recently ordered the Aurora, Stitched Together, and Timber Collections. Absolutely wonderful to add to the layouts, cannot wait to use them. Plus, i was told at least a two week delivery, they came before a week was up, great delivery. Thank you for the speedy delivery of them. I am in the US.
I needed to clarify the Collections were the Circuit Collections, I had ordered the Aurora, Blue Skies,and Stitched Together during National Scrapbooking Month, absolutely beautiful papers, then I reordered them again and took the workshops online from CTMH. Thank you so much for the workshops and the ideas that you all create so we can be creative when we are scrapbooking our beautiful families and friends.
