Seasonal Expressions 1 New Product Blog Hop

Welcome to our Blog Hop where today we are featuring BRAND NEW PRODUCT from our NEW Idea Book which debuted on January 1, 2019! If you haven't gotten your hands on this beauty, do so ASAP!

The front cover itself is worth it as our Founder and CEO, Jeanette Lynton, is the focus as we celebrate 35 years of Close To My Heart! Isn't that exciting?! It's hard to believe I've been part of that journey for 20+ years!

I had fun making this Easter card and absolutely love this adorable stamp set, "Egg-stra Special". 

The sentiments are adorable, as are the images, and the fact you can get it with the coordinating Thin Cut images...that makes it perfect, and a must-have! 

I used the Something Fierce paper packet, coordinating cardstock and inks. 

A little distressing with Sponge Daubers, White Ribbon, and Silver Glitter Gems were perfect for finishing up. 

Thank you for much for stopping by today. Be sure to continue to make your way around the Hop to enjoy the other wonderful creations made with new product. I guarantee you will want to have a paper and pen ready because you will need to make a wish list!

Now, head on over to Cat's Blog. ENJOY and happy hopping!

Heart 2 Heart Challenges - Favorite CTMH Paper Pack

I am so excited to share a card made with my favorite paper pack, "Penelope".  That is what we are doing this week at Heart 2 Heart Challenges where we are sharing artwork made with our favorite Close To My Heart paper pack.

Here is a peek of the fun patterns in this paper pack.  You get two each of the 6 designs, which have other patterns on the back.  So awesome!

Here is my Easter card made with leftovers from the Workshops Your Way layouts and cards.  It is quite colorful and I am okay with that.  :)  I absolutely HAD to use the polka dot Zip Strip and added some stickers from the Complements, one Silver Puffie, some Silver Foil Tape and ribbon.  

Here is a little closeup of the embellishments.

Be sure to link up to the Heart 2 Heart Challenge for this week.  I look forward to seeing your artwork!
