Through the Window

Have you ever looked through the window and wondered what was on the other side? This week at Heart 2 Heart, we are challenging you to do just that! There are many ways to look "through the window" in the paper crafting world - our Design Team will show you some of them. There is the hole in the card or layout approach, the view through a window, a clear box or bag, but these are only a few possibilities... there are many more! 

Let's take a look at what our Guest Designer, Hansi Brittain, did:

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.
