Seasonal Expressions Blog Hop

Today we are highlighting some of Close To My Heart's New Products contained in the recently released (December 1st) Seasonal Expressions - Volume 1.  There are two new paper packets featured and a lot of coordinating embellishments and other goodies you are sure to love!  If you are  coming from Melissa David's Blog, you are on the right track.  (Participants names are provided at the bottom of the post if you were to get lost along the way.)

The card I made was created with our new paper packet called "Heartstrings".  Of course it is perfect for Valentine's Day but I have already seen various artwork pieces that allow it to work for other occasions.

I did tie in some of the sweet treats from my favorite holiday and incorporated the stamp set, "Love This Story".  It is a Hostess Exclusive stamp set which means you can only get it when redeeming just $6 of your FREE Hostess Rewards.  (Contact me or your CTMH Consultant for more details.)  I LOVE the saying I chose to use but others are included:  "Hello World", "So Love This Story", and "Best Day Ever".  All of the images are banners and can be seen on page 5 of the supplemental idea book.  Click HERE to view the online version.  (Psst...any order placed can include a FREE copy of the Idea Book and Seasonal Expressions.  They are a lot better to view in person, if I do so say so myself.)

This cute cupcake comes from our December Stamp of the Month, "Cutie Pie", which can be yours for just $5 - with a qualifying order of just $50 - through December 30th.   And I couldn't resist incorporating some Silver and Red Shimmer Trim.  

 Thank you for taking the time to stop by today.  I hope you love what you see above and would appreciate any comments you have before heading over to Debi's Blog where I am sure you will find something totally fun!

Happy hoppin'!
