Kit of the Month - SEASIDE!

This month, I'm featuring our Workshop on the Go Kit of the Month - SEASIDE! Now is the time to capture your summer memories! This SEASIDE kit will help you do just that. The first layout features the kit using the Cricut cuts.

NOTE: If you do not have a Cricut, I will cut the Cricut cuts for you. Kits that need cutting MUST be ordered through me, not my website.

The next layout is one that does not require any Cricut cuts:

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!
