In the Garden

It is time to get in the garden!  Who's with me?  Maybe you've already started your garden or are just dreaming of one.  We are challenging you this week to think about a garden and use that as inspiration for your craftiness.  You have all month to play along with any of our May challenges, and we are loving what you are cranking out so far!  Have you seen our April Addicts, Top 10, and Top Check?  Scroll down for them!

Here is our design team's "in the garden" inspiration for you:

Are You Ready for Some FUNN?

Yes, it's time to have a little FUNN and introduce our May guest designer, Mary Gunn FUNN!

Mary writes:
It is such FUNN to be the Heart 2 Heart Blog Challenge Guest Designer this merry month of May.

Here is my bio in a nut shell: I love being a Close To My Heart Consultant because the CTMH family is awesome, the products are the best, and the corporate backing is second to none.  I will always stop and talk to someone about the joys of scrapbooking, card making, and spending time with craft buddies because those things have brought such joy to my life.

If I ever quit paper crafting I would be the saddest person on the planet.

Join us this month by playing along with your own entries! If you aren't up to that, please leave the contributors a kind word!

Thanks, H2H, let's go have some FUNN!

Take 5!

This week we would like for all our challenge followers to Take 5! Wait, wait, wait, before you run off and rest, we actually have a different meaning for Take 5! It is the 5th month of the year (Already! Can you believe it?) so in honour of the 5th month of the year, we want to see 5 on your projects. What does this mean, see 5 on your projects, well let me explain:

• 5 of the same item such as 5 flowers, 5 bling, 5 flourishes...
• 5 completely different things, but 5 design elements....
• or the number 5. Is someone celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or anything in a year with a 5 in it? Some how just work that number in there. 

Now that you are all done with that let's check out what the design team has been working on for this weeks challenge!

Our Guest Designer, Mary Gunn Funn

Jen Patrick

Brandi Robinson

Brittany

Haley

Lucy Kelleher

Are you looking for a challenge? The Heart 2 Heart team is looking for new design team members, if you would like more information, check out this blog post for all the specifics of applying. 

Thanks for stopping by and we can not wait to see what you create when you "Take 5!"

Magical May Scrapbooking Challenge

It's time for our May scrapbook challenge, and this one is all about the magic in your life!  Even if the day-to-day grind sometimes wears us down, we've all had those extra special moments.  We want to see them!

{We interrupt our regularly scheduled program for this important message from our sponsors:
Don't forget that we have opened up our 2014 Design Team Call!  How would you like to be here as a designer?  Read all about it right HERE!}

This month's Magical May requirements are:

* A layout, mini album, or photo home decor showing a “magical” moment you have had in your life time.  This can be recent or something from way "back in the day."

* Create your own designed papers using CTMH stamp sets. This can be your background base pages, photo mats, layered strips, or even flags. We must be able to see the stamped design.
* At least 1 photo required.

Let's see our Design Team's inspiration:

Debbie
