July’s Perfect Pairs campaign: celebrating how perfectly Close To My Heart products go together, because having papers, stamps, and accessories that were designed to work together makes embellishing your projects that much easier. Throughout the month of July, we’ll have several different product pairings consisting of a favorite My Reflections ® paper pack with a corresponding Complement or accessory kit that you’ll be able to get for free! Each pair will be available for only a limited time, and only while supplies last, so when you see one that you want, act quickly! All you need to do is place an order of $75 or more in full-priced retail products on my shopping website, and you’ll be able to receive that day’s “perfect pair” for free! You’ll love how easily these product pairs work together, making your crafting more fun and rewarding than ever! Treat yourself to some perfectly-paired products by participating in this month’s promotion. Jul...

I just ordered a whole bunch of Studio J layouts and would love to share with you some of them! My daughter's Pinkalicious birthday party was at the beginning of the month.  I used the Sophia kit to create these layouts. The first layout is a "lift" of the layout featured when you go to Studio J.  I used a tutorial from Studio Scrapping to create the stitching.  Mine is not perfect, but I love it! On this second layout, I changed the paper colors to fit the Pink theme :)  I created another Pool layout :)  I used the Caboodle kit, which accented the pool pics nicely! We recently went to Legoland- this layout uses one of my favorite paper packs--- Animal Cookies Have you ordered your FREE Studio J jpeg yet???  Time is running out... Head on over to Studio J and get started!  Its super easy to use and you will love it :) Thanks to Studio J, I've also completed a custom scrapbook- Baby's first year - for a customer!  I have lots of ...

Thanks for joining me for another weekend of Blog Hoppin Fun!   If you have come here from Tina's Blog , you are on the right path!  Keep on hoppin until the end :) April Showers is our theme, and I went with the "shower" theme and made baby cards for baby showers!  I am addicted to making these stacked present cards lately!  I first saw one that my friend Jayma made, who found it on Vicki's blog.  Recently, I saw a couple cute ones on Haley's blog too.   I cut my paper strips at 1.25 tall x 3, 2.25 and 1.5 long.  Add a ribbon down the center, or just a bow on top and you're set!  I used the Sweet Baby stamp set and Polka Dot Alphabet for my sentiments.   Now I'm all set for the next baby shower..... (though I don't know any preggos right now).   This design is also great for Birthday Cards too!!!!  I made two each of these cards and stamped Birthday sentiments on them :) Supplies: BOY: Miracle Level 2 Sweet Baby...

The Sophia kit from Close To My Heart has jumped in to my All-Time favorite list!!!!  I just adore the pinks and greens, the big florals and the polka dots.  It pairs really well with my daughters room, as it is also pink and green.  I love it sooooo much that I found a beautiful dress for my daughter for Easter, that is a perfect match! The cards featured in the Workshop Kit of the Month make me smile!  I have not created the workshop cards in a few months, but had to do these!  Look how cute: I am saving the layout to put Easter pictures on (you know, of my darling daughter in her perfectly matched dress).  Here is my version of the featured layout:   April Workshop Kit of the Month **Sophia** April 10th, 12:00-3:30 (Local fans) RSVP & Pay by April 1st!!

Recently, I was browsing through my Pottery Barn Kids catalog and I came across a super cute Easter sign .  I tore that page out and started to gather my supplies!  This sign sells for $49 at Pottery Barn kids, but I made mine for less than $10!!!!! I had a 16x20 canvas on hand, so I painted it with a shimmery blue paint.  I liked the streaky, distressed look that I got with one coat, so I stuck with it.  I pulled out some Close to my Heart papers in the colors I needed and started browsing my Cricut cartridges for images.  I love that CTMH paper is double sided with patterns, so I can use the subtle "back" side to patterns and get just the right color! I cut the chick from "Once Upon a Princess" using paper from Zippidee, Splendor and Olivia paper packs.  The egg was cut from Doodlecharms with Sophia paper, then cut in a zig zag pattern to resemble the broken egg.  I cut "Happy" from Celebrate with Flourish from the Sophia paper pack and Easter f...

I thought I would go back a couple months and show you January and February's Event Calendar pages :)   For the January topper, I used Pacifica cardstock and paper from Magnifique.  I cut the snowflake out of sugarcoated cardstock with A Child's Year from my cricut.  I added a little blue sparkle to the center.  Stamped down the calendar in sky ink are snowflakes from the Holiday Trinkets stamp set. February's topper has tulip cardstock and paper from the Sweetheart paper pack.  I stamped the heart from Heart to Heart, and the hearts down the page from the Sweetheart stamp set.   Here are the March and April pages in case you missed them: Read more about the March page HERE Read more about the April page HERE Supplies Event Calendar January: Magnifique Level 2 Holiday Trinkets Blue Sparkles sky ink Feburary: Sweetheart level 2 Sweetheart Stamps Heart to Heart Tulip, cotton candy ink March: D1453 Friendship D1382 Holiday Hoopla White Daisy,...
