Tag! You're it!

Welcome to August and a new "season" of challenges here at H2H! I have a lot to share with you today so let's get to it!

A great bit Thank You to everyone who played along with last week's challenge - we loved checking out your take on our unique color trio. Fabulous work! This week's challenge is sponsored by consultant Lori Miller who has a great prize for some lucky participant:


The prize will include everything to make the 9 x 9 Life Delights Memory Showcase. It includes the Memory Showcase, 9 x 9 papers, 9 x 9 preprinted pages, Stickease, and an embellishment kit (flowers, buttons, pearls, ribbon). How cool is that?  You can visit Lori's blog at Clearly From the Heart and here website here.

Be sure to drop by and leave her some love for sponsoring such a great prize package!

I am also excited to introduce you to our Guest Design Team member for August - Amy Moore!


Let's get to know Amy:

"I came to know Close To My Heart as many girls do. I was invited to a home gathering and enjoyed the project so much that I decided to host my own home gathering. I eventually joined a monthly club and a couple years later became a consultant myself. I love the creative process, teaching others, and meeting amazing women who share my passion.


When I’m not crafting, I enjoy married life to my husband of 16 years and our 2 wonderful children. I have been fortunate to stay home with them while working part time as a Classroom Aide. I also enjoy volunteering at my children’s schools and in our church.

My “Perfect Day” would be an early morning mountain bike ride, laughing & playing games with family and friends, riding coasters at an amusement park, shopping, creating something fabulous in my craft room, eating a tasty dinner prepared by my hubby, watching a movie at home while eating a decadent dessert, and a hot bubble bath just before heading to bed!

I’m so excited to be a Guest on H2H, I hope my artwork will inspire you."

We are excited to have Amy joining us so watch for her guest posts during this month. You can also visit her blog at Amy's Art from the Heart and tell her Congrats while you're there!!

OK and now we are on to this week's challenge! Did you guess from the post title that it's all about Tags? This week we are challenging you to create a wonderful piece of artwork that includes a tag. Your entry can be a tag or have a tag included on it - however you want to interpret the theme of TAG. Take a look at what our brand new Design Team created and you are sure to be inspired!!








Absolutely gorgeous work, ladies!! It's goin to be fun working with you this round!

So now it's your turn! We can't wait to see what you create. Just be sure to post a link to your artwork no later than 10 pm EST on Sunday to be eligible for Lori's prize goodies! Have a great week!

I love CTMH and have been following this blog since it started. I have wanted to play along each week but usually something gets in the way. Finally, our schedules meshed and I am submitting my first creation. Enjoy - I look forward to playing again in the future!
