National Stamping Month

Happy STAMPtember!  Close To My Heart has decreed this month "National Stamping Month," and our challenge to kick off the month is to use a CTMH stamp on your project.  That's right, just use a CTMH stamp on something you make and link up.  You have the entire month to join us!

Our new Team Sea Glass is here this week to kick off National Stamping Month!

Now it's your turn!  Show off a handstamped creation by linking up below.  We'd love to have you join us!  Also, what do you think of your new look?  Please comment below!  Happy STAMPtember!

Hip to be Square

It's all about the square - open or closed, to add a border or not to add a border, to layer or not to layer... Perhaps the song "Hip to be Square" by Huey Lewis and the News comes to mind - I know that is an old favourite of mine and remains in my music collection today. Maybe square means something totally different to you that we haven't even considered! 
If you choose to use the shape of a square, your project can be simply a square shape, a series of squares, interlocking squares, multiple squares or any combinations of squares that you can create. Or surprise us and do something totally different with the square theme - after all, it's "Hip to be Square" this week! 

Here is what your design team did with this theme: 

Shirley Ross

Alyson Mayo

Melissa Robinson 

Paige Dolecki

Be sure to use some Close To My Heart products in your project. 

This challenge has been extended until September 3rd since this Monday is so close to the end of the month.  (You can do it!)
All other August challenges end on August 31st so be sure to get your projects linked up! 

For the Girls!

My Girl, Big Girls Don't Cry, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.... all famous song titles about girls.
How about these famous lines of poetry:
     Sugar and spice and all things nice,
     That's what little girls are made of.
Do any of the above trigger memories?
This weeks' challenge at Heart 2 Heart is "For the Girls"
The word "girls" now often refers to youngsters as well as ladies - so a "girl" theme can be interpreted may ways - go with it where you will - we love to see your creations!

Here is what the design team did with this theme:

Alyson Mayo

Laurie Levorson

Angela White

Haley Dyer

Lauren Moore

Now it's your turn! Show us the girls in your life! Remember to use at least some Close To My Heart products on your project. You have until the end of August to enter this or any of the August challenges. Be sure to mention Heart 2 Heart in your post as well.

Happy creating!

Boys will be Boys!!

It's Raining Men, Where the Boys Are, Boys are Back in Town, Boyfriend.... I bet you're singing the lyrics to one of these songs right now.!!!  So what do all these songs have in common?  Why, of course, it's the challenge for this week at Heart 2 Heart - Boys will be Boys!!!

Check out what the talented design team came up with.

Copy That!

Hello, Friends!

This is Laurie from Crafty Sisters Creations and I am so pleased to host the Heart 2 Heart Challenge this week!  Our theme is COPY THAT and I think it will be a really fun challenge for you all!  Simply flip through your new Annual Inspirations (like you haven't done that a million times already!) and find some artwork you especially love.  Then COPY THAT artwork!  Of course you can put your own spin on the projects and tweak them any way you'd like.

Show us what you come up with!  We love to see all the amazing projects that are shared each week.  But first, take a look at what the design team has created.  Thanks for stopping by today!

As always, you have all month to join any of this month's challenges.  We hope you'll COPY THAT and borrow some inspiration from the new Annual Inspirations.  Again, put your own twist on your copy, and let us know what you're copying.  You must use some Close To My Heart products in your project, and don't forget to mention Heart 2 Heart Challenges too.  COPY THAT!

Heart 2 Heart Challenge - Florence

Welcome to this week's Heart 2 Heart Challenge where we are featuring the Florence product line. (Did you know it is only available through the end of this month?) It is a beautiful paper pack that features these colors: Flaxen, Peacock, Poppy, Ruby, Saffron, and Whisper.

To get you inspired in designing artwork with these products, some of our Design Team Members have shared their creations. We would love for you to link up to this post and show us your creativity. We always enjoy seeing what you design.
