Everything but the Kitchen Sink!

Welcome to this week's Heart 2 Heart Challenge...we are so happy you have joined us!

How will "Everything but the Kitchen Sink" inspire you?  A layout documenting a kitchen remodel or maybe a scrapbook page about your family Christmas cookie baking marathon?  How about using kitchen themed papers and embellishments for your card or layout?  Or possibly creating a card with layers and layers of paper and embellishments, using "everything but"...yes, you understand!

Our February guest designer, the talented Lisa Bzibziak, has a final fantastic project to inspire you.

We also hope you will be inspired by the projects created by the Design Team!

"Make It From Your Heart" Sketch Challenge

Welcome to February and another month of fantastic Heart 2 Heart Challenges!  Our first challenge for the month is to use any of our four Make It From Your Heart sketch books to create something special.  Many of our Design Team chose the brand new, MIFYH Vol. 4, card sketch #23, but you can use any pattern that you'd like!  Feel free to copy something from any of our Idea Books.  Still not inspired?  Try this CARD SKETCH or LAYOUT SKETCH!  (You'll get a PDF to download with these links.)
