Change

Before I introduce our final September challenge, I need to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has already taken one (or more) of this month's challenges!  We the Design Team only hope that we are as inspiring to you as you are to us!

Our final September challenge is the theme of change.  It might be the changing seasons, a big change in your life, or even the change in your pocket.  We can't wait to see how you interpret this theme challenge!  Because we're so close to the end of the month, for this final challenge only you have until Friday to submit your entry.

Now here is what our Design Team has to share with you.

Now it's your turn.  What do the winds of change inspire you to create?

Doodling

This week at Heart 2 Heart we have a new fun challenge we hope you will participate in!  We are trying to inspire you this month with several technique challenges.  This week, we are asking you to incorporate "Doodling" into your artwork this week.  Doodling is incorporated more and more into fun designs and it will be enjoyable to see how you interpret this topic.  As always, you have the entire month to participate in any of the weekly challenges for the month.

For some inspiration you can see how some of our designers incorporated it into their creations.

Link up your project here.

Splat!

Welcome to this weeks challenge here at Heart 2 Heart. Painting is all the rage right now. And with painting there is always splats. Use what was once a mistake into an awesome piece of art. So gather your Close To My Heart products and make a messy piece of art.

And if you need some inspiration, check out what our team of designers have made.
