Summer Memories

What are you doing with your summer memories? Close To My Heart has all the tools you need to preserve your memories faster, simpler and easier than ever!

Don't leave your precious memories sitting on your camera or your hard drive! Let me show you how to get them in albums so you can cherish them for years to come.

The picture here is one of my youngest son digging in the yard with my oldest grandson. I can't wait to create a layout showcasing their adventures with a metal detector! Can you imagine two boys, a metal detector and 14 acres of ground to cover? Even though it was 93 degrees outside, these boys didn't seem to care as they dug up their treasures and studied them up close, as this photo shows. Notice the shade in the foreground....yep, I stayed in the shade to take my pics!

Contact me today and I will show you how to preserve, store and highlight all your memories and adventures!

Happy Scrapbooking!

Pocket Card

A friend sent this Double Pocket Card tutorial to me today and I loved the idea so headed straight to my craft room to make my own. This is my first try and I'm very happy with the results:

I used some card stock I had in my stash, a few cuts with the Cricut Artiste Cartridge, added a little stamping and some ribbon along with some paper trimmings. This was so much fun!

Don't forget - all paper packs in the current Idea Book are being discontinued as of July 31! 

Get your favorites while you can!

A Little Skylark on the Go

Last night, during my usual Tuesday evening scrapbooking time, I created 2 complete layouts using the Skylark Workshop on the Go. I had a great time putting it all together! Skylark is only available through July 31, then it will be retired, so get it while you can! 

Layout #1 is creative, lively and full of fun.

I love the built-in details in this Workshop on the Go!

Easy stamping make it even more interesting and fun. The Whisper paper at the bottom is stamped!

Layout #2 is equally fun and charming!

The stamping detail and embellishments give this layout a quick, easy start and finish!

Love, Love, Love the flowers and twist ties that come with this Workshop!

Happy Scrappin'!

Just Lollydoodle-ing Around

What's the best way to spend a summer evening? Lollydoodling around! Tuesday night is my night to "Lollydoodle" with Close To My Heart and last week, I made this gorgeous layout with the Lollydoodle Workshop on the Go! 

What fabulous and fun papers to work with! 

This is my work table. I work while my boys take Karate lessons at our church. I usually get two hours of paper crafting time!

Here's the complete layout, ready for my pictures! (Which I forgot to take with me!)

Here's an up-close picture of a few embellishments in the kit.

More detail.....gorgeous!

The stamping was fun!
