Silver and Gold

The Heart2Heart Design Team is back and better than ever with our first 2017 challenge: Silver and Gold!  We hope you'll join us this year!  We host a new challenge every Monday, and challenges are open until the end of the month.  Playing is easy:

1. Create a project that fits our theme for the week.  Using Close To My Heart products is required (but does not have to be limited to CTMH only).
2. Post your project on your blog or some other public forum.  (We can't always see/comment on your Facebook or Flickr posts, so make sure your work is public.)
3. Mention Heart2Heart in your post about your project.
4. Come back to our blog and join in the InLinkz with the deep URL of your post before the challenge expires. (We have a little tutorial in our sidebar.)  If you only include your blog address, we may not be able to find your actual work.

Now are you ready for our new Design Team to inspire you?  Here are our Silver and Gold creations.

Holiday Color Challenge: No Red or Green

The weather is changing, temperatures are dropping, the trees are bare and whether we like it or not, snow is on the way.  (or you may have already had some of the white stuff)  For the papercrafter, that means getting into the holiday spirit.

So for this week, we'd love to see your holiday cards or layouts with a twist - - no traditional colours to be used - no red or green!!  What will you come up?

Let's see what the design team has created.
