Favorite Recipe

Happy February!  Welcome to our first February Heart 2 Heart Challenge entitled, "Favorite Recipe." Do you have a food recipe, and related photo, you've been meaning to scrapbook? Perhaps it's a sketch recipe, of sorts. However you choose to interpret the theme is up to you but we do hope you'll do so and link up to this post, sharing your "Favorite Recipe" artwork. Be sure to incorporate some Close To My Heart products in your papercraft item.

For a little jumpstart on inspiration, here are some creative items provided by some of our Design Team Members. Be sure to visit their Blogs, provided through the links, so you can see their connection to the theme.

Fine & Dandy

Welcome to Heart 2 Heart challenges' final January challenge! Our theme this week is Fine & Dandy. There has been some discussion amongst our design team about what exactly Fine & Dandy means or what it entails....what does it mean to you? Our designs should give you and idea of what we all think is Fine & Dandy.

 First up is our Guest Designer Jody Gustafson and she has made these adorable tags and banners and cards. I love them!

Silver & Gold

"Silver and gold, silver and gold

Ev'ryone wishes for silver and gold

How do you measure its worth?

Just by the pleasure it gives here on earth”

(From: "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer")

Silver and gold have been valued and admired since the beginning of time. Today is no different. In fact, you no doubt have noticed how trendy mixed metals are right now…clothes, jewelry, home décor, paper crafts and more. They’re everywhere and not just because it’s the holiday season. It’s perfectly acceptable to mix any metallics…gold, silver, copper, rose gold, etc.

Because it’s trendy and because the Holidays are around the corner, we are hosting a Silver and Gold Challenge this month. We’re also super excited to be partnering with Color My Heart – Color Dare Challenges, as they are holding two color challenges this month…a traditional green and red and a non-traditional challenge. Both challenges have an optional Silver and Gold component. It’s the perfect match-up. However, keep in mind that you can do more with Silver and Gold than just holiday-themed creations. Anniversaries and weddings come to mind, too. So don't let yourself feel limited!  Check out our design team's creations for a little inspiration.

We look forward to seeing our creations!
