Color My World!

Don't you just LOVE color?!  I know I do!  Color and Glitter!

The Close To My Heart color palette has over 40 colors.....


But it doesn't stop there....our cardstock is now two toned....the regular pretty color on one side and the reverse side is one tone lighter of the same color!  Yes, that means 80 shades of color!

 A little over whelming?  Not sure where to start?  Or are you stuck in a rut using the same color combinations over and over again?  Well, CTMH has a solution for this....our Love of Color guide book.


This guide gives you 3, 4 and 5 color combinations to help you create awesome cards and layouts.  I use mine constantly for new inspiration!  It is so easy.

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope to hear from you soon!

Need Help Getting Started?

Hello Scrappers!  Ever sit down to start scrapping and find that you just aren't feeling it?  I do that all of the time!  But yet I am in the mood to get my creating on.  That is when I like to reach for the kit.  I find that if I just start pulling out the pieces and laying them out something clicks and my creative juices start flowing.  Then I can start putting my own spin on the project, adding more embellishments if I want, and voila!  You have a project done.

That is where the new Cut Above scrapbooking layout kits come in.....check out this video:


Each kit includes more than enough supplies to complete a two page layout and multiple pocket layouts.  Included are base pages, die cuts, stickers and even Memory Protectors!  Plus a color printed instruction sheet.  All for only $14.95

Close to my Heart currently has two designs - Little One and Forever & Always.  Both are beautiful.  Click on the Shop Now tab above to order yours.

Thanks for looking.  Hope to hear from you soon

Christmas Card Fun

Wow....once again it has been FOREVER since I have posted.....ugh.  Sorry

Today I would like to share some Christmas Card Kits.  I want to thank fellow CTMH Consultant Brenda Rose for sharing her inspiration.  She is so talented!

Now on to the cards.  There are 18 different cards in each kit, all cut, die cuts and stamped for you. You just need to assemble them using the guide that I have put together for you.  These great cards feature our Picture My Life Christmas Overlays, Clear Sparkles and glittery snow flakes made using our Snow Flake Thin Cuts. 

I have created two versions of the cards...one using the elegant Sea Glass and Gold colors of the Oh Deer paper pack and the other using the more traditional Christmas colors of the City Sidewalks paper pack.  Both have sparkles and glitter!  (of coarse!)  Each kit includes card bases & envelopes, a full pack of the Picture My Life Christmas Overlays, Clear Sparkles, pre-cut papers, pre-stamped images and Snowflake die cuts out of our sparkly glitter paper.  Before you know it you will have 18 hand made Christmas Cards to send to friends and family.

The kits are $30 each plus $6.45 for Priority Mail postage. (Local peeps can make arrangements to meet up and save the shipping costs.)  Or you can come to one of my Chat & Scraps or Card Buffets and assemble them in my studio.  Click on the Calendar tab above for my schedule.  Both versions of the kit are all ready to go....drop me an email at Susieque@sbcglobal.net to order.

Here are some close ups of the cards......
































Thanks for looking....hope to hear from you soon.....
