Courage

I recently met a fellow CTMH sister, Cary Brunett, and I am so happy to have a new scrapping friend. I love all of my scrapping friends from the city, but Cary may be the only one who understands my Close To My Heart addiction. She is super sweet and invited me to come to her monthly crop. i jumped at the opportunity. She is so talented and I have so much hat I can learn from her. I am very excited about getting to know her better. I met with her group on Friday and we made this excellent layout. The word I picked was “courage”. It is a big one for me this year, as I want to both have a voice and take more risks. The journaling will include me being able to say no more often and for me to be able to take risks, like opening a scrapbooking/book store in Outlook.

Supplies Used (all CTMH unless noted):

Paper: Moon Doggie (retired), Twitterpated (retired), Unforgettable (retired), Sorbet cardstock, Chocolate cardstock

Stamps: Bohemian Alphabet, Find Your Style (January SOTM)

Embellishments and Accessories: Oraganza ribbon (non-CTMH brand)

Tools: Cricut (unsure of the cartridge name), Spray Pen

Boom-Di-Ada

Unforgettable

$2, $4, $6 for 8

If you had a chance to read the CTMH retiring list that I posted yesterday, you will notice that all (yes ALL) of the current paperpacks and stickers are being retired. There are many big changes ahead for Close to My Heart. In 2011, there will be only two idea books instead of three. This is good news, as it means there will be many more wonderful new things in the book. The other big news is that anything in a book will be available for only the life of that book. That means, any paper packs, embellishments and stamp sets will only be available for six months. As it is right now, we have stamp sets and paper packs that are five years old. So, what does this mean for you? If you see something that you want, you have to remember that after the six months the book is live, it will be gone forever.

Now for some great news! Because all of the paper packs and Stickease are being retired, CTMH is having a huge blowout sale. I am posting a list of what will be on the sale.

The sale will be from August 4th-11th, while supplies last.  If you would like anything, please feel free to place the order on my website.

Heart 2 Heart Challenge #3

This week’s H2H challenge is a sketch. With a sketch, you can really interpret it how you want as long as the main guidelines are followed. I guess what I am trying to say is that as long as you can see the mail details from the sketch in your project, you are good to go.
Here is the sketch:
