Contest Winner!

Tresa Black from fabulouslyartsy.com created this jaw-dropping album for a recent contest held by Close To My Heart.  Check out this video. Then check out her blog; it's one of my favorites for inspiration!

Girls' Night Out!

Typeset is the kit of the month for scrapbook clubs.  I love all the fun fonts, and the colors are fabulous for my kid's back to school photos.  You can see all that is included in this great kit on page 19 of the Autumn idea book.  We will be creating the layout above as well as 2 more layouts; it will be a productive night!  If you would like to play with us at Girls' Night Out, email me.

Quincy group:  August 25, 6-10pm
Barry group:  September 2, 6-10pm
Kirksville group:  September 19, 9am-12

CHANGE!  I told you it was an exciting word!  There are some changes to our kits that are going to make you smile.  The paper packs are more limited to match the projects...and so is the price.  Level 2 paper packets are now only $9.95.  The workshop on the go kit will include a C size stamp set, but the price of the entire kit, including accents, remains $29.95.  Additional projects are suggested to use up your scraps, and hints and tips for those can be found at closetomyheart.com>Ideas&Inspiration.

I'll be telling you more about my favorite changes in our new catalog.  What's your favorite change?

Change!

Change.  That word creates anxiety for lots of people, but it excites me!  I like change.  I like to try something new.  It's exciting to consider new possiblilites, new opportunities.  I am loving the changes that came with the new Close To My Heart Autumn/Winter 2011 Idea Book.
