All Creatures Great and Small
How fun on my first time hosting Heart 2 Heart to be able to challenge you to create a project highlighting one of earth's wonderful creatures. From insects to elephants and even Homo Sapiens, there are all sort of possibilities at CTMH for creating wonderful paper projects that illustrate this week's theme, All Creatures Great and Small. To inspire you, the design team has come up with these projects:
We on the design team are so inspired by all your wonderful creations and hope you will share your project showing one of your favorite creatures. You have until April 30th to submit your projects for this and all the other April challenges.

What a Wonderful World
The challenge theme this week at Heart 2 Heart Challenges is What a Wonderful World. Are you all singing the infamous song by Louis Armstrong now?
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
But they're really saying I love you.
I hear baby's cry, and watched them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The design team has come up with great artwork to share.

Please join us with your "What a Wonderful World" by clicking on the link and adding your project. You have all month to play - we can't wait to see your project. Thanks for helping us make this a wonderful, crafty world! You have until the end of the month to participate in any of the April challenges- just scroll down to find them.

Tea Time
Hello! It's Alyson here from Create with Alyson and it's Tea Time this week at Heart 2 Heart. Have you ever wanted to just relax with a friend and have a hot cup of tea? It is often the perfect touch to a long, hard day or just to share with friends or family. How about sitting by the fire with a cup of tea, or perhaps just watching TV with the cat or dog cuddled up beside you. A cup of tea often seems to make everything just a little bit better, doesn't it?
Well, here at Heart 2 Heart, we want you to share your cup of tea with us! Of course you don't have to use the Close To My Heart March stamp of the month, Tea-rrific, to participate in this final March challenge. It is a great choice, however!
Here is what the design team wishes to share with you.
Be sure your project contains at least some Close To My Heart products. If it isn't obvious, list the products in your description.
You have until the end of March to enter this or any of the March challenges. Make sure you mention Heart 2 Heart in your post.
Happy Creating!
