Happy Times

Welcome to this week's Heart 2 Heart challenge!

Since it is just after the Easter weekend, everyone should be HAPPY, right? For many of us, Easter involved chocolate in some form, and that makes almost everyone happy :)

What a perfect reason to have a HAPPY TIMES challenge!

Bring on the good times - and this can be happy moments in the form of a scrapbook layout, a card, or perhaps using the So Much Happy paper collection from Close To My Heart. There are so many ways to show us your happy times, so let's get rolling.

Here is how the design team chose to demonstrate their Happy Times.

Alyson Mayo

Cat Nowak

Sue Bruch

Brandi R - crzy4scrapbooking

Michelle Johns

Come and share your HAPPY TIMES with us here at Heart 2 Heart!

Be sure to use at least some Close To My Heart products in your project.

You have until the end of April to link up - we can't wait to see what you create!

What is your favorite Sketch?

This week's challenge here at H2H is to use your Favorite Sketch. Do you have a favorite? Or maybe 500? I don't know about you, but I tend to have more than one favorite sketch that I go to, both for cards and layouts!

So, this week, and until the end of the month, share with us your favorite sketch! You can enter more than one time, you know! So, share all of your favorites!!

Make sure you use some CTMH products in your creation; we wouldn't want you disqualified because you didn't follow the rules, right?

So, be you a cardmaker, scrapbook maker, mini album maker, or anything else, create! Share! Get in touch with your inner crafty self, and show us whatcha' got!

To start you off, here are a few creations from our talented crafty design team!

Each of the photos will take you to the ladies' blogs, which will have more info, and probably even more photos for you on each project! Make sure to check them out and leave them some love!

Now, go and make your own crafty goodness with your favorite sketch, and then share it in the link up below!
