These invitations are for my son's 6th birthday party where we will be building and firing off rockets at a local park! I am not sure who is more excited, my husband or son.     I used the following products: Bo Bunny Blast Off collection Close to My Heart White Daisy Cardstock Close to My Heart Inks-Denim Blue,

What better way wish someone a great day than a handmade bag holding the goodies. This bag cut at 4 1/2" is the perfect size to hold chocolate! I used Pemberly for the bag itself and decorated the bag with the butterfly from the It's Your Day stamp set, available this month for only $5 with any $35 purchase until September 30th. Visit my website to order yours today. I also used the stamp set and banner cut from the Circut Artise cartridge to give it the right sentiment. If you have been wanting either one of the Close to My Heart Cricut Cartridges order through me now and I will throw in the It's Your Day stamp for FREE.

Another simple yet great card using the new Avonlea paper. I also used the Fall Harvest (C1504) stamp set, Cocoa Ink and Colonial White cardstock as the card base.

I am really enjoying Close to My Heart's Worskhops on the Go. It is so nice because you have paper, embellishments and a coordinating stamp set all for one low price. This month I am hosting scrapbooking on Thursday August 16th and we are completing the Scholastic Workshop on the Go. I have added 4 pieces of additional cardstock and we are creating 4 two page layouts. What better way to be prepared for the start of the school. If you are in the Spokane area I had 2 cancellations and have 2 extra kits if you want to join us from 6-9. The cost is $38. Here are the completed layouts: If you cannot make the workshop but would like to order the kit, you can order it directly here.

I have had so much fun playing with all the new Close to My Heart paper packs the past few weeks. Even the kits that are not my favorite have enough paper in each kit to create beautiful layouts. I used the Dakota paper pack, a stamp set that came in the Rock the Block special last year,  black ink and a design from the new Make it From the Heart publication by Close to My Heart.

If you know me well you know that Fall is my favorite time of year. The food, smells, decorations, sights..... I LOVE everything about Fall and I love the new Moonlight paper from Close to My Heart. This captures all the colors of fall. I created this 2 page layout using the following Close to My Heart supplies: Moonlight Paper Pack (X7161B) Arbor Wooden Shapes (Z1765) Make It From Your Heart Pattern Book Cocoa Ink (Z2114) Black Ink (Z2105) Autumn Terracotta Ink (Z2101) Ponderosa Pine Ink (Z2145) Spray Pens (Z1380) Autumn Terracotta Re-Inker (Z2201) Colonial White Cardstock (1388) Art Philosophy Cartridge I absolutely love how this layout turned out and cannot wait to take the perfect Fall pics!

Avonlea is another new paper line from Close to My Heart and I love how universal it is. I created this two page layout featuring Avonlea. I  used the following Close to My Heart products: Avonlea (Z7155B) Gray Wool Cardstock Olive Cardstock (1245) Cocoa Ink (Z2114) Misc. Button You can shop for all of these fabulous Close to My Heart products at www.stephaniefeist.ctmh.com  and join my "Mystery Hostess" party for a chance to win $25 in FREE Close to My Heart product.

Close to My Heart came out with some of the most amazing home decor products with this Idea Book . They now have frames, cubby's, display trays, journals, blocks and so much more. I have had time to play with the My Creations Star though and along with the Dakota paper pack and Pacifica Ink I created this star as a birthday gift.
