Glitter and Glam!

Hello, Crafty Friends--
This is Laurie from Crafty Sisters Creations to introduce the challenge theme for this week here at Heart 2 Heart.  It's all about GLITTER and GLAM!  One of my favorite sayings is "When in doubt, add Glitter!" so this theme is right up my alley.  This challenge will give you the chance to really glam up your artwork with Glitter Paper, Shimmer Brushes, Tinsel Embossing Powder, Shimmer Trim and anything else that will add that special bit of bling!  Take a look at what the Design Team created--

You can also feature the new colours from Close to my Heart which are Candy Apple, Peach, Ballerina, Liliac, Carolina, Bluebird, Mint, Sage, Clover, and Nectarine. If you are not sure what is new to CTMH or have an idea book to copy a project and make it your own, just click the link to see the new idea book online.

Thank you so much for joining us and welcome to another fantastic Heart 2 Heart Challenge using this colorful Inspirational Photo. Don't look now...but Fall is here.  What do these colors bring to mind … colorful falling leaves, Halloween, candy corn, apple cider, pumpkins, bonfires, camping, etc. etc. etc. … reminisce and you decide.  Are you ready for our first October challenge?

Here are our DT's Inspirational Projects

Sweet Treats

Welcome back to Heart 2 Heart for our last challenge in September!

Sweet Treats is this week's theme - and it just happens to be Close To My Heart's September Stamp of the Month. You certainly don't have to use this stamp set as there are other ways to interpret this theme such as tasty candy, warm cinnamon buns, etc. We leave that decision completely up to you!

Let's take a look at the sweet treats projects created by our design team.

• Ribbon

We can't wait to see what you create! 

Ribbon

Welcome to this week's Heart 2 Heart Challenge, entitled "Ribbon"!

Ribbon is great for prettying up packages, little girl's hair...what about papercrafting projects?! We'd love to see ways you incorporate ribbon into your artwork by linking up to our challenge at the bottom of this post.

To participate, be sure to incorporate Close To My Heart product in your creation. (It is helpful to identify it if it is not completely obvious).

In order to get your creative mojo going, some of our Design Team Members have shared their artwork with you!
