Product Challenge: Slimline Cards

Melissa Robinson, here, a Design Team Member of the Heart 2 Heart Challenge, inviting you to join in this week's January Challenge where we are creating Slimline Cards! 

It is the second challenge of the new year, with them being posted the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month. To see the details of the first challenge of 2021, "Out with the Old, In with the New", follow the link.

We LOVE seeing the artwork you have to share with us, aligned with our themes, AND while incorporating Close To My Heart products. Yes, please be sure you follow that expectation 😉 and then link up to us below. ðŸ‘‡ 

To get your creative juices flowing, here are some creations provided by members of our Design Team:

Theme Challenge: Out with the Old, In with the New

Happy 2021 and our first challenge of the new year!  I'm Haley Dyer, AKA the InkyScrapper, and I am the owner/moderator of this challenge blog.  (I am so grateful for our design team and all their creativity!)  I've been a Close To My Heart Maker for 20 years (almost 21!) and also teach 5th grade in the beautiful north Georgia mountains.  My husband and I have two daughters (one who graduated college in May and is applying to graduate school while working part time back at home with us and the other is in her second year at UGA), plus a dog and two cats.  I love to get inky but don't love to color.  I'm a scrapper at heart but love that I can make cards and other things with my supplies.


To kick off this year, if you didn't see my previous post, we are scaling back a bit and posting two challenges each month, on the first and third Mondays, with them both closing at midnight on the last day of the month.  Our first challenge of 2021 is a theme challenge, "Out With the Old, In With the New!"  Maybe you got something new and crafty for the holidays or from our awesome Boxing Day specials?  Maybe it's time to try a new technique or a new sketch?  Whatever you choose, let us know how you're interpreting our challenge!


Here's our design team's inspiration:

What do you think?  Are you ready to take our first challenge?  Show off your interpretation of "Out with the Old, In with the New" until the end of the month.  As always, please remember to use something from Close To My Heart.  We can't wait to see what you create!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2021!  We wish you all the very best in the coming year!  We all know that things WILL improve!


Here at H2H, we are making a few changes.  We are still a Close To My Heart challenge blog, but we will be posting TWO challenges each month (one on the first Monday and the other on the third Monday of the month).  Both challenges will be open until the end of the month at midnight (EST).  We will be choosing our top three favorites for each challenge and announcing our winners on the second Monday of the following month.  Be sure to read our rules tab (above) for complete information if you're new to our challenge blog.

We appreciate our loyal following and everyone who chooses to play along with us.  We look forward to seeing your creations this year, starting on Monday!  Happy 2021!
