If you would like to sponsor the H2H blog with a prize in 2011, please contact me. I am setting up a schedule for sponsors and would like to get a few months filled. There will be a few changes to the sponsorship program and it will be outlined to all potential sponsors, with a post for all about the changes after the 1st of the year.
* If you have been a sponsor previously, please do not request to be a sponsor again at this time. We would like to give the opportunity to new sponsors first and will contact past sponsors if we have spaces to fill.
To find out more, send me an email at mbryt1@bex.net. Thank you~

Friday Five - Saturday Style!
What a great way to wrap up this year's Friday Fives with a gift related challenge! There were so many awesome entries, narrowing down to 5 was a difficult task but we finally picked those we want to showcase. And I'm excited to see a couple of past DT members playing along! Congratulations to this week's "chosen ones":
Fabulous projects, everyone!
Over the next few weeks, we want to see your holiday cards so check out the post below - there's a prize for someone to be awarded in January, when we come back with an all new DT after a little holiday break.
And don't forget that applications are now being accepted for the next round of the DT. See the December 10th post for all the details and apply!

Last Challenge of the year!
Thank you to everyone who played along with our gift challenge this past week - there were some awesome ideas and beautiful projects! And one lucky person was drawn to win Debbie's prize package and that person is.....#15 ANN! Please email me at mbryt1@bex.net and send your address so I can pass it along to Debbie!
And a big Thank You to Debbie for being a great sponsor! Be sure to visit her at Scrappin' My Heart Out and leave her a little love!
This week will be out last challenge of the year and will run until Jan. 2 - that's 3 weeks to play along while we all take a little holiday break. And it's an easy one. We know you are busy creating holidays cards for loved ones and we want you to share your creation with us! That's all there is to it - post your favorite holiday card using CTMH products (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwaanza, New Years.....) and feel free to post more than one!
And to top off the fun, there is not one but 2 prizes in store for one lucky player! If you're going to be playing for three weeks, might make it worth your while, right? So this is a 4 for 40 week and I am your hostess but unfortunately, I didn't get a tip or idea prepared for you. Been sick all week and haven't had a chance to think something up. I know - lame excuse. BUT I'm going to make it up to you! I am not only going to send our winner 4 cards created by me but also a surprise package of goodies!!! It will be like getting a Christmas gift after Christmas!
So are you ready to see what the DT has to share with you on their final week?? Be sure you stop by these talented ladies' blogs and leave them a great big THANKS for all the incredible artwork they have shared with you week after week - they are true inspiration!
Gorgeousness! Thank you team - you have been so great to work with!
Don't forget that we are now accepting applications for the next Design Team that will start in January. See the post below for all the details. And, last but not least, watch for a new look and new goodies here at the blog in the New Year!
From all of us at H2H, a very Happy Holidays to everyone!

Friday Five and DT CALL
It's time for a new Friday Five but I want to start out today's post with information on applying for the next round of Design Team members!
The current members will be ending their term on December 13th so it's time to find new members!! Do you have what it takes? Here are the requirements to consider before applying:
* You must be a current Close To My Heart consultant (Junior consultants are welcome).
* You agree to be a member of the Design Team for a term of 4 months.
* You must have a blog and be willing to join a Yahoo Group set up specifically for team members.
* You must be able to participate in every week's challenge (posted by 6:00 am on Monday mornings) and have your artwork for each challenge posted to the DT Yahoo Group the Saturday before the challenge begins.
* You must be willing to post your artwork on any other boards/galleries you belong to and advertise our challenge blog whenever and where ever you can so we can continually grow in numbers of participants. We currently have a group at Paper Craft Planet and on Facebook that I would like DT members to join but this is optional.
* You will be expected to participate in any extra programs that we may decide upon as a team (for example, the past 4 for 40 program). You are also expected to weigh in on your choices of winners in weekly awards (a new version of Friday Five - more details to come).
* You will be expected to visit the blogs of the challenge participants and leave comments.
What will you get in return?
* Committment to producing artwork once a week gives you an opportunity to create on a regular basis!
* Increased blog traffic which will hopefully lead to an increase in your business!
* Fun and fellowship with the entire team and a chance to meet new consultants and CTMH fans!
Now who couldn't use a little of that?
To apply, please send an email to me at mbryt1@bex.net .
You must include the following:
* Name, address, phone number, email address, blog address, website address (if you have a website).
* A brief bio telling me how long you have been with CTMH, a little about your stamping/scrapbooking background, and anything you would like to share about your family or hobbies, for instance.
* Please tell me if you have ever had any experience on any other Design Teams
* Tell me why you would like to be on this team.
* Tell me what your favorite type of challenges are.
* You MUST send 3 samples of your best CTMH artwork. These do not have to be elaborate but they must be well done, attractive and clean.
The deadline to apply is December 24th and new members will be notified December 30th and announced on the blog on January 3rd. The first challenge for the new team will be January 10th.
Ok, now on to our fabulous Friday Five! Take a look at these awesome creations based on last week's sketch:
Gorgeous work everyone! I will be sending out your badge info soon.
There is only one more challenge coming up this Monday so be sure to play along this week and next! We will then be taking a little break until the new year and there will be a whole new look and surprises planned for everyone when we resume in 2011!
