It's five o'clock... somewhere

Here in Oregon it's 5:00 and time to talk about our last paper pack... Urban.

Found in the A.I. on page 88.

I just love how manly and rugged this set looks! Topped off perfectly by these Complements and Assortments.

And a Workshop on the Go Kit so good... even the toughest of guys could make it!!

Nothing sweeter than a baby's smile!

No matter if it's 4:00 in the after noon or that 4:00 a.m. feeding... there is nothing better than a baby's smile!

You may or may not know that Close to my Heart has partnered up with Operation Smile for years, helping babies and children all around the world fix mouth problems and give them a new smile! I am so excited to be a part of this amazing partnership!!

And YOU can be too!!

When you buy this Animal Greetings stamp set found on the back page of the A.I. book, $7 will be donated by CTMH to Operation Smile.

Now you too can show your excitement with these New T-Shirts, showing your support of this great organization! Both shirts come in gray and red and $10 goes to Operation Smile.

It only takes $240 to fix a beautiful smile like this!

While you are thinking of babies... think of sweet "Georgie" found on page 76 in the A.I. book.

This sweet Paper pack, Complements, and Assortment are perfect for that sweet baby boy or girl!

Rather you're catching up, getting ahead, or giving a gift... this Workshop on the Go Kit will be almost as perfect as the little bundle themselves!

But wait there is more... A Georgie Picture my Life Kit!

Find it on page 112 in the A.I. book.

For this 4:00 hour... post a comment telling how many kids you have and are you catching up, ahead or thinking about starting their scrapbooks/baby books?

Trendy and Girly!

When you see the words... Trendy and Girly... do you think of only those words or do you think outside the box?

This hour I am going to focus on the Instalife line found on page 126 of the A.I. book... which could be seen as very Trendy!
Perfect for a Mommy and Me project, Young Women's activity book, or a brag book.

Capture all of life's little moments!

With two adorable mini albums to pick from.

Two sets of Cards to add to your albums...

And two must have Roller Stamps!

Now when you hear the word "Girly" do you think about tea parties, dolls and dress up? Or do you think of Spring, flowers and candy??

This colorful Kaleidoscope paper pack can be all of those things and more!

Find this line on page 60 of the A.I. book.

This set is a real Gem! With brightly colored Complements and Assortments.

Celebrate with this party themed Workshop on the Go Card Kit.

For this 3:00 hour... post a comment about someone in your life that is either always Trendy or very Girly.

You color my State?

I think the saying goes... You color my world... but for this hour I want to talk about our new colors, color line and States.

Close to my Heart has come up with seven new colors; Eggplant, Sapphire, Peacock, Fern, Saffron, Poppy and Pomegranate.
Find them on page 157 in the A.I. book.

New colors is not all that has come along in this new Idea book from CTMH... How about New Watercolor Paints, Paintbrushes,.. to add to our colorful collection of Watercolor Pencils, and ShinHan Touch Twin Markers found on page 146 of the A.I. book! 

If you haven't tried Fundamentals Paper yet... now is the time... because it just got better! Now you can get these glossy patterned papers in CTMH's four color groups still... but now you can also get Sticker Packs and Assortments!

Find them all on page 108 of the A.I. book.

"Home is where the heart is!"

Collect all 50 states... send love from any state to another. Or if you are like me... make a "We have moved" card with the state you came from and the one you are in now. 

*Also available for all Canadian Provinces and Territories. Find out more on page 103 in the A.I. book and online.

For this 2:00 hour... post a comment letting us know what state you are posting from.
