I don't know about you, but it seems like this year is flying past! June brings nicer weather (for those in the US), graduations, and all sorts of celebrations! With all of those things, they all have a 'sweetness' to them!

"How Sweet it is" is a great prompt to get you started on cards and scrapbook pages!

Today we have a few ideas for you!

Splatter It

Welcome to the Heart 2 Heart Challenge! We have a fun new challenge for you this month!

Our second challenge for May is Splatter It!! For this challenge we encourage you to interpret the way you see it. Some ideas that come to mind is splattering paint, maybe water colors, acrylic or even spay paint. Another idea would be to use water on a medium and create a different effect. One other idea may be to use a stamp that has a splattered appearance. The possibilities are endless. Just remember if you want to be recognized in our challenge you must use at least one Close to My Heart product and be sure to identify it.

Let's see what our awesome design team has created for you.

Going Green

Welcome to our first challenge of March! For this challenge we are partnering with Double Trouble for this fun challenge.

For this challenge we are asking you to use green on your project. Green is a popular color this month with St. Patrick's Day coming up mid month. Keep in mind green can be used on so many different projects. We are encouraging you to link up with our friends over at Double Trouble for Challenge #105. With their challenge, you are asked to used primarily green, then you can opt to include plaid or checkers.

We really hope you will play along with both of our challenges. Please remember while usually one of the requirements for Heart 2 Heart is to include one Close to My Heart product, we welcome all participants in our partnership with Double Trouble!

To get this party started lets's take a look at what or Design Team has created.

We can't wait to see your projects!! You have until the March 31st to play along with us.
