Sweet Treats

Welcome back to Heart 2 Heart for our last challenge in September!

Sweet Treats is this week's theme - and it just happens to be Close To My Heart's September Stamp of the Month. You certainly don't have to use this stamp set as there are other ways to interpret this theme such as tasty candy, warm cinnamon buns, etc. We leave that decision completely up to you!

Let's take a look at the sweet treats projects created by our design team.

This is the last week to link up with this or any of the other September challenges:

• Ribbon
• Banner Day
• South of the Border

Be sure to use at least some Close To My Heart products in your projects - if it isn't obvious, please provide a list of the products that you used. 

We can't wait to see what you create! 

Ribbon

Welcome to this week's Heart 2 Heart Challenge, entitled "Ribbon"!

Ribbon is great for prettying up packages, little girl's hair...what about papercrafting projects?! We'd love to see ways you incorporate ribbon into your artwork by linking up to our challenge at the bottom of this post.

To participate, be sure to incorporate Close To My Heart product in your creation. (It is helpful to identify it if it is not completely obvious).

In order to get your creative mojo going, some of our Design Team Members have shared their artwork with you!

Banner Day

Hi everyone! Michelle here, taking over the blog for a day! Today we are going to have a Banner Day, right??

Mondays are usually hard on everyone, me included! No matter how hard it can be, we can make it a bit better. Maybe it's a cup of joe, a sweet treat, listening to some great music, or even just snuggling up with a loved one.

Sometimes, you just need to see something crafty, and then maybe have it inspire us to do something crafty ourselves!

Today, we are all about the banners! There are so many different banner shapes! We have a BUNCH of them on every one of our Cricut Cartridges! But, you don't have to have a cricut to make banners! It is super easy to make a banner! Just find the middle of your paper, and cut a straight line up to the depth that you would like your banner to be. Then you cut from one corner to the end of your first cut, then cut the other side to the end of your first cut. Viola! You are done with your banner!

I would LOVE to see what you do with banners! They are great on cards, layouts, and even 3-D projects! Show us what your banner looks like! Remember, use at least one product that is Close to my Heart, and use the link tool at the bottom of this post to share your project with us!

Check out these projects for some inspiration!
