2013 New Product Blog Hop

This is my favorite Blog Hop to participate in. I love to see the new projects that my fellow scrappers create with all the new products that Close To My Heart introduces. If you have come from Sheila's blog then you are at the right spot.

I adore this new paper line and accessories so much. I know this is already a very popular set, but I think that everyone out there will love it just as much as us consultants!

  The products that I used for this layout are: For Always paper pack, For Always textiles, For Always assortment, Honey cardstock, Lagoon cardstock, Slate cardstock and the For Always My Stickease.

Please jump through to see the rest of the cool new products used on this Blog Hop. Next stop is Helen's Blog. Have fun!

February Home Sweet Home Stamp Of The Month Blog Hop

Hello Hoppers!
     Welcome to the Stamp Of The Month Blog Hop! Each month Close To My Heart offers a stamp set that   is only available for us stampers to get our hands on during the month it is offered. This hop is a great way to see TONS of artwork featuring that stamp. You will get so many ideas from some very creative people that you will want this set for your very own. This set is available through your Close To My Heart Independent Consultant. If you don't have a consultant, feel free to leave me a comment and I would love to get back to you with information on ordering this stamp set.

If you arrived here from Kim's blog, then you are in the right place! Below is my mini canvas that I have created using this set. I am getting more and more into altered pieces and I wanted to try my hand at a simple  home decor item. This set was perfect for just that.

Hope you have enjoyed the Blog Hop so far, but you aren't done yet! Next stop is to visit Jean's blog to see her creation. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Scrappin'!

Plans, Plans, Plans....

Are you making plans? I have been thinking a lot about my crafting goals for this year. I have a lot of new ideas in mind along with several projects I would like to complete that I just have not "gotten around" to. I would love to hear your goals for this year. One lucky person to post a comment on this post about their crafting goals or about some projects that they just have not been able to complete will win a grab bag! Comment deadline is January 17th. Let's help support each other so that we can all have a very creative and productive crafting 2013!  

Happy New Year!

I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year! I look forward to all that 2013 will bring and I know this will be a year to remember!

I would love to hear from you! Please leave a comment and tell me what you are looking forward to in 2013.  I am really looking forward to what this year will bring with my family. I am one of those lucky girls who is married to the man of my dreams and we will celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary this year. My 2 girls are getting older and I thoroughly enjoy spending time with them. And you know what else, they still like to spend time with me too!  haha! I also have a niece that will be a year old this month and I love watching her enjoy every moment of life.

I truly hope 2013 brings all of us everything we could ever ask for. And with each blessing we are given, we can give back as well.

Thank you for being part of my scrappin' adventures and I look forward to many more!

New Product Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping by my blog to see what I have created with just a few of the BRAND NEW products that Close To My Heart has to offer. If you have come from Maria's blog then you are on the right track for this Blog Hop!

There are so many great new things in the Close To My Heart Autumn/Winter 2012 Idea Book and I am definitely having a great time creating and playing with all these new items. But I wanted to post my most recent card that I made using my favorite paper pack in the new Idea Book.

I used the Flirty Paper Pack with the Birthday stamp set from the NEW Artiste Cricut Collection to create this card. I love how all the prints from this paper go so well together! This card was created using Pattern #23 in the NEW Make It From Your Heart Volume 1. This book makes it so easy to complete cards and layouts quickly.

Thanks again for stopping by to check out my latest creation and I hope you will continue on this Blog Hop to check out the rest of the artwork created by many other consultants. Your next stop on this Blog Hop is Traci's blog. Have fun!
