Hi everyone! Kim here with a quick share of a mini album I just completed. I used a Close To My Heart “Workshop on the Go”. These kits they put together are genius! Patterned paper, cardstock, stamp set, embellishments and an idea sheet…ready for you to play! I choose to work with “La Vie en Rose” set…I love it! Thanks for checking out my album. This project is not hard technically, but requires time. In the end, it’s a nice reminder of a fun girls trip to Washington State. I have LOTS more pictures to scrapbook from this trip, but this mini album is like the “Coles Notes” version of our trip. SUBSCRIBE TODAY to our quarterly publication – delivered right to your door!
Hello everyone – Tracy McLennon here! Today I am working with the La Vie En Rose collection from Close To My Heart. This collection has some great black and white patterns with hints of pinks and reds. They are so versatile! I chose to work with a photo of myself, from a little while ago. It just happened to be in black and white which is perfect with this collection. But remember, that is an option you can ALWAYS choose with your own photos when printing. That way you are never restricted by the colours in your photos when picking patterned papers to craft with.

Hi there, Connie Nichol here today trying to get organized! It’s a great New Year’s resolution!! I am going to try using a planner to organize my time in 2016 and feel like I am taking control of my hectic days. I want to show you the beautiful new planner from Close to My Heart. The planner has beautiful vibrant colours and provides lots of space to write lists, notes and details. I love the black cover with the gold embossed image and wanted the inside of my planner to look extra pretty so I customized some of the pages with some CTMH stamps and My Crush embellishments. This soccer stamp set is a very useful set for the soccer mom! Not only is it a great planner, but what I really like is that you can customize it by adding mini scrapbooking pages. Close to My Heart has…
