New Product Blog Hop #2

 Day 2... I hope you have had a chance to look through the new Idea Book, and found inspiration by it and this hop!!

For this project I made a simple card using: Chalk it Up paper pack, Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, Black Shimmer Trim, Chalk it Up Assortment stickers, and Glitter Glam stamp set.

New Product Blog Hop

With this new Idea Book there are soooo many wonderful things, it's hard to choose just one thing to focus on... so today I picked this fun layout I made for my son's first day of High School and my daughter's first day of Kindergarten.... both on the same day.... Wow time flies!!

For this layout I used the Chalk it Up paper pack, Scaredy Cat Assortment, Handwritten Print stamp set, and Black Striped Twill ribbon.

I really hope you enjoy this layout as much as I do... and check back as I continue to show new items from this amazing new Idea Book.

Picture my Life Sneak Peak

One of the best parts of going to Close to my Heart's Convention... is the fun art work you get to make and see!! Here is a cute mini album made with our new Chalk it Up Picture my Life set.

This set is not only school themed, but can also be used for so many other things!!

We used ours to make a book for convention memories.

It was so easy to punch a few hole and tie the cards together with ribbon.

Be sure to check out this set and all the others on Aug. 1st when the book goes live!

Rockin' Ink Stars Blog Hop - "Spring has Sprung"

Thank you for joining eight members of the Rockin' Ink Stars Team who are showcasing artwork through this Blog Hop.  We have been asked to create artwork that is Spring-themed.  

For my project I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make these fun daffodils. To make them I used the flower (Accent 1) at 4" and the cupcake holder (Accent 3) at 1.5" on page 73 of the booklet. Then I simply glued them together to make candle holders for a springtime center piece.

I then changed things up and filled them with candy eggs for a cute gift to give guests at a springtime meal.

I used the Foundry Pin Clips (found in the "While Supplies Last") to hold up the place cards.

The Hop is a circle, so please keep moving through the links provided through the posts, and check out the fun artwork we have created to share with you!  If you are coming from Joy McHargue, you are on the right track.  Here is a list of the Blog participants should you get lost along the way:

Back in 2009 when I signed up my thoughts were, "why not, I'm not out anything because the kit has way more product than I can buy at that price!" And now with this new special... its even better!! Just think $99 will get you $400+ in product. And what are you out if you cant make it work as a business?? Nothing!! You will have $400 worth of fun supplies to use, and the rights to a good discount on other supplies.

 

Plus... there is no reason you can not succeed!! Close to my Heart gives you online training, there is a wide range of ways to connect with other consultants to help you and inspire you... And you get ME!! I will help you all the way. I have lived in the big city and in the small town and know what both markets are like. 

Now is a great time to join!! Close to my Heart is a debt free company so there is no need to worry about what has happened to other scrapbook companies. Plus they are growing, and starting up in other countries... and may someday be world wide.
