3-D items at Heart 2 Heart this week!

This week's challenge is a little different. Make a 3-D Project! This can be anything you like, but nothing flat like a card. Please remember to include Close To My Heart products in your design.

Note: You have until this Saturday, Feb. 4th at 10:00 pm EST to play along with the January challenges and be considered for a spot in our monthly Top Ten!

This week, I altered a couple of CTMH card boxes.

I used the Roxy paper pack and the color ready CORK alphabet.

 I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that my 4x6 photos fit PERFECTLY in this box! How perfect to store your photos or to transport your photos to a crop! Even a nice gift for Grandma with special photos enclosed!

Please play along and share your creations at the Heart 2 Heart Challenge blog!

Heart to Heart Scrapbooking Sketch

Heart to Heart Scrapbooking has a monthly sketch, here is the sketch for this month

And here is my layout:

I used up some older CTMH paper "Magnifique" and added some Flutter Paper Shapes.

For the title, I used my favorite, Color ready Alphabets!!! Just add ink with your sponge dabber and voila, a perfectly matched title for your layout.....that's what I love CTMH!!!

Heart 2 Heart Inspiration Challange

For this weeks Heart 2 Heart challenge, we had to use this picture for inspiration while creating a card, layout, etc

I used the Dreamin paper pack for this layout.

I really wanted to use CTMH cork letters for the title, but I could not find them, so I used this corregated alphabet and blinged it up a bit with Glitz Glitter Gel.

Heart 2 Heart challenge - Week 2

This weeks challenge at Heart 2 Heart is a color challenge!!!

Think snow with these colors: Crystal Blue, Amethyst, White or Colonial White.

Step it up add-on: Add glitter.

It was a blizzarding cold day here and I decided that I was done with snow, so I thought of spring instead!

I did stick to the colors though!

To create by background paper, I stamped my flower images with versamark ink and then clear embossed, after I sponged my two colors over top....treating it as a resist.

I used the Hooray Bouquet stamp set.

Thanks for looking and be sure to link up your artwork at Heart 2 Heart!!!

So now, on to this weeks challenge!!

This week we want to see you use a stamp set that you have never used before!

'Cmon, you can do it!!!

I created the layout below using the stamp set from the Sonoma workshop on the go, and to further challenge myself, I also used the Sonoma paper.

I have had this paper and stamp set since the fall and have never used it as I am not a great fan of purple. BUT now that I have used this paper and stamp set, do I ever LOVE them both!

Here is my layout:

Now, grab your unused stamps and get creative! We want to see what you can do with this challenge.
