Tuck It In, People!

Good Monday morning! Are you ready for another great challenge? If so, then we'd love to see what you create using an envelope in your artwork. Envelopes are fun to play with - you can create mini albums with them as well as use them for pockets on cards or layouts. If you'd rather not use an envelope, then create something with a 'tuck' instead. 

Be sure to follow the basic rules below but most of all, have fun with the challenge!  Here's our Guest DT Famida's very interactive layout.  Be sure to check out her blog for more photos of all the secret tucks.

Heart2Heart Challenges Rules:

1. Use Close To My Heart products.  Your project doesn't have to be 100% CTMH, but you must use some.  After all, this is a challenge blog created and sponsored by CTMH consultants.
2. Incorporate this week's challenge...Tuck It In!
3. Link your project back to Heart 2 Heart from your blog or online gallery.  If you are linking from a blog, you must link directly to the actual post, not your entire blog.
4. You also need to mention Heart 2 Heart (H2H) in your blog post.  
5. Finally, we ask that you consider turning off word verification, as it makes it easier for the design team (and others) to leave comments.

Can't wait to see what you create!
 

MaRcH MaDnEsS WiNnErS!

April's Guest Designer

You've already seen our talented guest designer's artwork (She was our February Top Chick and has shared her great work with us this month), so let's get to know Famida Ahmad a little better:

"As a scrapbooker for over 10 years I created my first album for my 1 year dating anniversary with my now-hubby. Looking back my first scrapbook was extremely simple, but taught me a valuable lesson – “You can never have too many pictures, but you can definitely have too few!” Through 5 years of dating followed by 5 years of marriage I have since scrapbooked many anniversaries, vacations, and special family memories. I have turned my passion into a business that thrives on sharing my love for paper and embellishments. As a Close To My Heart Consultant for the past two years, I have expanded my scrapbook bubble to include stamping, cricut projects, and 3-d artwork. To learn some new techniques visit my Get Scrappin’ Website for upcoming workshops and to get your hands on the latest scrapbook products visit my CTMH Website."

Thanks, Fami, for sharing your terrific artwork with us this month!  We look forward to having you play along with us year 'round.
