Bring Back My Pack - Magical Blog Hop

Welcome to today's Blog Hop where we are featuring a retired, but returned, product line called "Magical"! Surely you remember it!

Close To My Heart has brought back the ever-popular Magical Paper Pack for a limited time! Now, through September 30, you can get the More Magical paper packet, and coordinating products - including what was an exclusive and adorable stamp set at the time. These products are suited for all-purpose crafting, including your visits to amusements parks, parties, and other adventures!

Save 25% when you purchase the workshop kit, which includes the paper pack and a selection of other products you can use to create four, 2-page scrapbook layouts, eight cards and much more! You can find all the details on my website.

If you are coming from Miss Carrie's Creations, you are on the right track. You can find a list of participants by clicking here, if you were to get lost along the way.

Close To My Heart held Convention at Disneyland and World for several years, giving me many reasons to use this paper pack for those wonderful memories. And I have plenty more! 

You can tell I especially love the polka dot pattern and then loved using the other coordinating colors to accent the photos. This layout makes me completely happy and reminds me of some fun times with my Mom and fellow Consultant friends. 

Enlarged views of the two pages are shown below. 

I can't wait to finish preserving other Disney memories, even with us visiting Disney World on Christmas day just this year! I guess I need to get to work! ;)

Head on over to Michelle's Blog to see what she has to share with you and then continue to follow the links around the Hop.

Wishing you an upcoming weekend of fun and blessings! Thanks for stopping by!

Heart 2 Heart Challenge: Winter Blues

We're starting another fun week at Heart 2 Heart with an artwork challenge titled, "Winter Blues". When you hear those two words or short phrase, what does it make you think about? Of course, I thought of "winter"...snow...cold...but I didn't have any supplies that would lend itself to that so I went a different direction and focused on the color blue. This was the result!

While this card is simple, it contains some awesome products that make it super fun! I hope you think so as well!

Let's start with the "Make Waves - Cardmaking" stamp set and Thin Cuts. Aren't the images and sentiments CUTE and punny?! I love them and am all about the puns these days. They sure bring happy, don't they?! I stamped the whale and sentiment in Black ink.

You can see the polka dot pattern pulled in quite a bit here. You can never go wrong with polka dots! The Peacock ribbon is from the Enchantment Ribbon Pack and contains this ribbon and twine. The polka dot paper came from the Chelsea Gardens paper pack. You've seen me use it quite a bit. (It is my favorite paper pattern out of all the new ones. LOL) And I added a couple of Black Dots.

This was the resulting color combination for the cardstock: Glacier, Peacock and Charcoal.

Now, head on over to the Heart 2 Heart Challenge and show us your artwork associated with "Winter Blues". Be sure to use a Close To My Heart product on your creation and link up at the bottom of the associated post. I can't wait to see what you create and share!

Whatever you make, be sure to...Make It From Your Heart!
