Shabby Chic Challenge

All of our entries for February have been beautiful and this week should definitely bring about even more beauty. We have another amazing challenge this week and it is Shabby Chic! Shabby Chic is a huge trend in paper crafting and home decor right now. What does Shabby Chic mean to you? What does Shabby Chic look like for you?

Here to get you started, here are some of the designs done by our Guest Designer and Team Cocoa:

Our guest designer Lilian Yeh Forsyth has given us two amazing projects this week, they are stunning!

Now it is your turn, what amazing creations do you have for us this week? We are all so looking forward to seeing your take on what Shabby Chic means!

Flourishes Challenge

Our February entries are beautiful, and we're so glad to see so many of you playing along!  We're excited to bring you another challenge this week.  What does the word flourishes mean to you? Scrolls and flourishes never go out  of style on paper crafting projects! This week at the Heart 2 Heart challenge we are asking for a project from our national and international CTMH friends that incorporate flourishes. To get your creative mind thinking about this challenge the Heart 2 Heart design team has a few examples to share with everyone.

Our Guest Designer Lilian shares this lovely creation:

February Guest Designer

Please join the H2H DT to welcome our February guest designer, Lilian Yeh!

Hello, everyone! I'm so excited to be the guest designer for the month of February!

I was born in Taiwan and grew up in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I have been married for 10 years and I have two little boys, a Sheltie (Jazz, the dog) and a Ragdoll (Angel, the cat).

I was working in Taiwan when a friend taught me how to stamp...that was ten years ago! And I was addicted!

About a year ago, I joined CTMH as a consultant...the kit was full of wonderful products, that I couldn't resist...   I make mostly cards, but I'm trying to scrapbook more. I'm glad I found H2H for it challenges me to create (when I'm not busy with the boys or with work)!

Thank you, H2H team, for this great opportunity!

February 2014 Heart2Heart Monthly Scrapbook Challenge

Cozy and Cuddly 
has been a constant theme around here for the last few months. 
Not going to complain because it's no where near as bad as it could be. Thankfully.
I hope your February has started off a little warmer. 

I want to say thank you to everyone who participated in 
January's Scrapbook Challenge. I loved the diversity of the 
layouts and the creativity that jumped off the pages. 

Come back on the 10th to see who the top picks are 
for all the H2H Challenges in January.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Onto our February Heart 2 Heart 
Scrapbook Challenge 
Please read the base rules for the challenge on the H2H Rules tab.
Below are the requirements for February's challenge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
           * 12" x 12" layouts showing your interpretation of a cozy/cuddly winter moment. It can be with friends, family, pets, or even yourself with your favorite book or beverage.  
           * Must use CTMH Dimensional Elements
           * At least 1 photo required

Here is my 2 page layout
You may click the pictures for a larger view.

Here are more DT's inspirations on this month's theme.
I do hope you will join us. 
February is a month for love in the air as well as cold temps. 
Hope to see many cozy & cuddly layouts.
