Do you miss pajama parties with your friends?  Well, we’re not kids anymore but we can still have a pajama party VIRTUALLY!

Have you heard about Stacy Julian and her Big Picture Classes?  Don’t you love her?

Close to my Heart does too and has paired up with her and together there will be an online pajama party on May 30th at 7:00 (MDT).

Convert that time zone so that you join us at the right time.   Oh by the way, did I mention that it’s absolutely FREE!!!

During this live event, you’ll get ideas and inspiration from Stacy Julian and friends, plus you’ll get to watch a short, fun (slightly wacky) creative class made with Close To My Heart products.

Visit the Big Picture Classes site to register (remember, it’s free!).  Hit the register link and either login or register and then go through the shopping cart link (the balance will say zero so don’t worry, there really isn’t any charge).

Watch the video by Stacy and get excited!

You can participate in the Think Happy Thoughts project that they will be teaching at the pajama party.

Welcome to the Everything ABC’s Blog Hop!

For this hop we will be featuring the letter C.  This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment.  Whatever the crafter has chosen as their C element will be featured in their post.

If you came from Alicia Petitt at Serene Scrapping with Alicia then you’re on the right track!

I choose the paper pack Claire and Made some Cards with it.  So my “C” is Claire Cards!!

These are also for a swap.

I like to see how the same sketch of card comes out using different pattern paper in the Claire paper pack.

The stamp set that i used was Perfect Fit – Frames 2, D1536.  This is a set that can be cut on Close to My Heart Cricut cartridge, Artiste.  This makes it great to get the exact shape.

The stamp set used in the center is Perfect Fit – Birthday, B1417.  You can cut the circles on either Art Philosphy or Artiste.

These 2 cards came about because I dropped the flowered paper and it stuck in the wrong place.  When i took it up, I did not want to waste the base, so I just moved it.

So came up with a slightly different card, using the stamp parts!

This was also made with the Claire paper.

The colors in this paper pack are Blush, Cashmere, Cranberry, Hollyhock, Outdoor Denim, Sunset.

Welcome to the Everything ABC’s Blog Hop!\

If you came from Kathy’s Creative Corner then you’re on the right track!

For this hop we will be featuring the letter B.

For the letter B, I chose the 3″ Block from Close to my Heart for my project!

I have never done one of these, but when i saw this picture of my friend’s baby that she sent in her Christmas card, I KNEW it had to go on a block!!

I used the retired paper pack called Typeset.  I felt the Juniper color in this paper was perfect for a black and white photo.

I also used the Typeset canvas shapes on it too.  On the top of the canvas stars, i put Bitty Bling.  There is also bling in the corner on the name side.

His name is stamped in Outdoor Denim in with Polka Dot Alpha stamp set, D1469.

Why don’t you try one of these…they so much easier than they look!!!

Welcome to our very first Everything ABC’s Blog Hop! This will be the first of many throughout the year so make sure to check out what we have new for you about every two weeks. Happy New Year and Happy Hopping!

For this hop we will be featuring the letter A. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their A element will be featured in their post.

If you came from Jen Patrick- http://roxybonds-scrappin.blogspot.com/2013/01/everything-abc-blog-hop-for.html then you’re on the right track!

This is my very 1st mini album.

I made this with coasters for the front and back.  The paper I used is Avonlea from Close to My Heart.  The inner pages are Whisper gray paper from Close to My Heart.

The embellishments are from the Avonlea line also.  I also used Color Ready Seam Binding.  All from Close to My Heart.

“photo here” was stamped in Twilight ink.  The other words were stamped in Outdoor Denim ink.

Some of the page elements were cut from Close to My Hearts Artiste Cricut cartridge.

To make this I used my Bind -It-All for the very 1st time!  It was a lot of fun to do.

The spots for photos are only temporary.  You could use them as mats or take them out as I used removable adhesive!

I just learned about this technique and LOVE IT!!  This is my 1st card using it.  I found a video on YouTube.  It is so easy and so fun.

I used CTMH black and white daisy cardstock.  The ink colors are lagoon, pear, honey and smoothie.

The stamp sets I used were Love Blooms and For Every Occasion.

I can’t wait to make more!!

This is what it looks like above my mantel.  We bought these frames for somewhere else and decided not to use them.

My husband came up with this idea!  We are going to change for the seasons!

I cut the letters with my Cricut Artiste cartridge on my cricut.  I also cut the snowflakes with it too.

They are mounted on Close to My Heart Ruby, Cranberry and Olive paper.

I stamped them in Cranberry, Olive and Sweet Leaf.  The stamp set that i used was D1480, Snowflakes.

Below are closer ups of each color and a snowflake!

Hope you like them!

Here are some more cards from the Consultant card swap.  These are made with the Pear & Partridge paper pack!

How cute are those snowmen?!?!

I like that they did both Christmas and Winter with these.

Get this paper pack here: My Site

Recently I was in a card swap with other Close to My Heart Consultants.  These cards were all made with Clementine paper pack but different stamp sets, by different consultants.

I love how they all can look so different but it is all the same paper!!

Check out that big bow!!! That is from the new Close to My Heart Artiste cartridge!  I love that bow!

Just think of what you can make with this paper pack!!
