The Magic of the Team

The rockin' heARTs, our Close To My Heart team, have my heart! Sending cards is my way of letting them know how much they mean to me.

And More Magic is the perfect paper collection along with the coordinating stamp set to create these FUN cards.

Add a stamped message on the inside and don't forget the envelope, so they know there is a handmade treat inside!

Documented Blog Hop

Welcome to our Featured Paper Blog Hop! We will be showcasing items from our Documented Paper collection with various projects created by talented Close to my Heart Consultants.

If you are visiting from Michelle’s blog then you are on the right track, if not please start with our hostess Carol.
The Documented paper collection reminds me of family and that inspired me to do layouts all about my wonderful son-in-law. These layouts were my Documented Club kit layouts, want to learn more about my online clubs, please subscribe to my blog and comment below that you would like more information.

It was beautiful to capture the moments between a father and his son.

I am blessed to have such a beautiful 'son'-in-law.

Next check out Lara’s blog.
If you fell in love with Documented as I did, and you do not have a Close To My Heart consultant, I would be honored to serve you. Click Here to visit my website. You may also follow me on Facebook

Design Space Friday and the Stamp of the Month

A clean and simple card is the focus of Design Space Friday. A quick card created using the You Are Here Close To My Heart Cricut collection and the coordinating stamp image from the August Stamp of the Month.

And, of course, Design Space Friday would not be complete without a video!! 

The August Stamp of the Month is all about being crafty!! Only $5 with a qualifying $50 order.

Seasonal Expression 2 Inspired Stamp of the Month Card

Inspiration Artwork from page 76 of the current Seasonal Expression 2 Idea Book from Close To My Heart. 

My version started with the same Stamp of the Month heart image stamped in Peacock Ink on White Daisy. It is double matted with Charcoal and a Picture My Life card from the Documented paper pack.

Corner rounded the edges of the card and the Picture My Life card, added twine, which was from my stash (these were the twine pieces from last years Cut Above Tags that I used on cards instead of tags), and finished withe a piece of silver shimmer trim.

Thank you for stopping by, I so appreciate any comments you may have.

Sunburst Layout Page 43

Close To My Heart Idea Books are FULL of ideas! Here is my version of the layout found in the Seasonal Expression 2 (2018).

This photo of my granddaughter shares her fearless adventurous spirit. She loved pink and purple, not so much now, in fact her Mom shared this was the last of her pink phase. The journaling shared my love of her strong attitude.

It started with a Peacock cardstock base page which mats a White Daisy cardstock piece cut to 11 3/4" x 11 3/4". The sunburst is an Artbooking Cricut collection image sized to 10" x 9". Scraps from the Documented paper collection, featured this month, were used in the sunburst cutouts. The words along the left edge of the photo are from the zip strip (this is the 1/2" x 12" piece along the top of our paper where on side shares the information and the other is a pattern you can use on your projects, we want you to use it all!!).

There is 1/2" x 12" piece of Goldrush Fundamentals, our Fundamentals will be retiring at the end of August. And two more angle cut Documented scraps are placed at the bottom.

I finished the layout with Documented Complement stickers and kraft embellishments. The title BEAUTIFUL is a Documented Complement sticker, love it!!

And this was my inspiration.

A new Idea Book is coming in September, this is the best time to JOIN the Close To My Heart family! And I would love to have you join my team!
