NO Stamping

Hi everyone, it's Allie here at Heart2Heart!

This November our themes will involve "NO" to something. It's my turn to host this week and our challenge is NO stamping. How are you going to create your craft? Maybe you'll use one of our fabulous Cricut cartridges or a fun embossing folder? Maybe you'll get clever with some inking or layering of papers? Whatever your trick we can't wait to see what you create.

In the meantime, check out some inspiring creations from our Design Team.

Welcome to NO-vember!

This month, we here at Heart 2 Heart Challenges are celebrating NO-vember challenge: each challenge will have "NO" requirement to it, something you're NOt allowed to use or do.  Good luck and play hard!

Before I throw down our NO-vember scrapbooking challenge, please join me in welcoming our November guest designer, Lillian YF.
"I was born in Taiwan and grew up in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I have been married for 10 years and I have two little boys, a Sheltie (Jazz, the dog) and a Ragdoll (Angel, the cat).  I started stamping ten years ago and have been a consultant since 2013.


"Other random things about me... I love Arabian horses...I'm a chocoholic...I collect patterned papers and stamps...I am a "slow" crafter (it could take me 20-30 minutes just to make a card!)...but, if I'm inspired, I could craft all night long!

"I'm so happy to be back as a guest designer!  Can't wait to see everyone's creations this month!"

We're glad to have Lillian with us this month!  She is going to kick off our NO-vember scrapbooking challenge with this lovely layout:
Guest DT Lillian
Can you guess what our NO-vember scrapbooking challenge is?  
Lauren
The No-vember scrapbook challenge is NO B&T!  That's right, NO patterned, designer paper can be used on your photo project!  Sure, you can make your own B&T with card stock: maybe you want to stamp, score, crumple, or distress?  We can't wait to see your take on the NO B&T SCRAPBOOK CHALLENGE!

It's Midnight this week with the H2H Challenge

Midnight is scary and ugly sometimes, but it's a start for a very beautiful thing, a new day..



The theme this week is "Midnight" and even though it does conjure up images of dark, scary events for some of us, it just adds color to our creativity for the rest of us!




Our guest designer Pam has this BOO-tiful layout to share!


Our design team has been hard at work creating their designs.  All of us have our own interpretation to this theme. 









Now it is your chance to join us at 'midnight'!  Please consider participating in this challenge and post your design using the linky here.  It's our final October challenge, and you have until the 31st to play along with anything we've thrown down this month.  We can't wait to see what you make!  Remember, we are a CTMH challenge blog, so you must use some Close To My Heart product somewhere, otherwise your link will be removed.  Thanks for playing!
