Heart 2 Heart Challenge: By the Numbers

Thank you for joining me for another week of Heart 2 Heart Challenges.  This week our theme is, "By the Numbers", which is pretty self-explanatory but wide open for interpretation!

I used some of our Picture My Life cards to  create this spread in my new Everyday Life Planner.

The Picture My Life Through the Year scrapbooking products were used to create this left page.  The cards are so fun and colorful and are perfect for setting some business goals for 2016.  Whimsy Fundamental Stickers were used to spruce them up a bit more.  Aren't they too fun?!  And I couldn't resist adding some Enamel and Glitter Duos Blue Dots (these are one of my favorite new products).

The right page contains pocket cards from this month's Constant Campaign, Live Your Day, that are perfect for remembering birthdays for each month of the year.  Some of the stickers were added for a pop of color.  Gotta love having all the important stuff in one place!

We would love for you to share your artwork with us, incorporating Close To My Heart product, that aligns with our theme.  Just head on over to Heart 2 Heart and upload your artwork to our Linky.  It is always so much fun to see how everyone interprets the theme.

Have a great week and Make It From Your Heart!

National Papercrafting Month Blog Hop - Live Your Day

Did you know it is National Papercrafting Month?!  Well, it is and Close To My Heart has released these exclusive pocket scrapbooking cards to help you celebrate!  It coordinates perfectly with our new Everyday Life Planner that was recently released.  The cards are 4" x 6" and 4" x 3" and the images are the same on both the front and the back, allowing you options as you create with them.  You will see how I incorporated them below.  Aren't they fun AND gorgeous?!

If you are coming from Kirsten's Blog you are on the right track.  You can find a list of participants by clicking here should you get lost along the way.

I used two of the 4 x 6 cards, "Follow Your Heart" and "Don't Quit Your Day Dream" to make the focal points for these two pages in my new planner.  It is a goal-setting layout while reflecting on some fun and success I experienced towards the end of 2015.  The layout was created on the My Crush Everyday Life Pages that were designed to fit in the Everyday Life Album.

Gold Sequins, Aqua Shimmer Trim, and Purple Gem Hearts were added to the left page for some dimension and bling.  A gold sticker - the heart inside the scalloped circle, from our Fundamentals Sticker Sheet, was added to the corner.

All of the same products were used on the second page.  I love the Fundamentals Basic Gold stickers and you can see I have used them throughout the spread. The "tabs" were especially fun to use and the one on the right, that says 2016, is on a PML card.  It is interactive and contains my journaling for the layout.  The light purple matte, behind the Don't Quit Your Day Dream" PML card is layered on another PML card from the Live Your Day pack.  I added some white "Glitter Paper", from our beautiful and great Glitter Paper Packs just for some added bling.  (We offer it in a variety of colors and it is top-quality!  No shedding on your projects nor tabletops!)

I hope you love this as much as I do and again, the photo does not do it justice (no matter how hard I tried).  I love looking at it and I think it will be the continued inspiration I need all year to achieve my business goals through Close To My Heart!
