Happy New Year! Layout

Happy New Year's Eve!!

I am here to share a layout with you today that you could create and put your favorite pictures from your New Year's Eve celebrations as you count down to 2016.  It could also be used to highlight your favorites from this last year.  It could be a place for your family's new year resolutions or goals.  It would look great displayed in your home in a Designed Decor frame or placed at the beginning of your 2016 Family Album.  The possibilities are endless!! :)

As I played with the paper pack of the month this month, La Vie En Rose, I quickly loved all the the black and white patterns!! Each of these pattern pieces are from the La Vie En Rose paper pack.  The 6th pattern that belongs to the paper pack is a colorful rose pattern.

"Pop, Fizz, Clink" is a cricut cut from the new Artistry CTMH Cricut Collection.  The other embellishments on this layout include: Bodacious Banners stamping, In Review stamping, Watercolor, Gold glitter paper, Gold Fundamental Assortments, Pomegranate Fundamental Assortments, Gold foil tape and Itty Bitty Sparkles.

Do you have any crafting goals for the new year?  One of mine is to keep my Designed Decor frame full all year.  Ideally, I'd love to add a new layout or piece of art each month!  Not only will this layout be out for my family and I to enjoy but it will be a layout that I can quickly and easily add to our family scrapbook. Who wants to join me??  I know YOU do so keep on reading to see how I'm going to help make getting started easy for you!! :)

I'll keep you posted with upcoming workshops and classes!

Stop back this week for new product reveals and January steals and deals!

Cheers!

Deal of the Day Grab Bags

Good Morning Everyone!  April went fast and as we sit at the end of the month we are down to the last hours to score a Deal of the Day Grab Bag!

The Deal of the Day becomes available each day at 4 o'clock CST and is available for 24 hours.  Each grab bag is a surprise!  What you do know before you purchase is that you will be getting a mixture of current and retired Close to My Heart product.  Also, that you'll be getting a really good deal!  The value of each grab bag varies with the different price point and some grab bags contain product valued at more than DOUBLE the price you pay!

I have received three grab bags.  They are like Pringles, once you start (you get it and open it up) you can't stop!  They are really such a great deal!!

Take a peek...

$35 Grab Bag:  This one came and I squealed with delight!  Look at all that washi tape, uber cute Picture My Life, ribbon, shimmer trip and cute gift bags!!  This particular grab bag has a retail value of $80.50 -- MORE than DOUBLE what I paid!

$35 CTMH Deal of the Day 

This was my first grab bag, like I said before, I needed to get another! 


$35 Grab Bag:  This is my newest arrival!  This Deal of the Day came with an array of more fun.  I am most excited about the Textiles and Necklace Kit because I never got a chance to order any of this and I eye that Necklace Kit up every time I check out the While Supplies Last section.  I plan on making it and wearing it soon.  Totally my colors! :)  This grab bag has a retail value of $78.65.  What a deal, again, product worth MORE than DOUBLE!

$35 CTMH Deal of the Day

$50 Grab Bag:  Score!  Enchanted Mini-Pigment set, one that I don't have yet.  Also, do you see that acrylic block?  Needed one that size.  Picutre My Life cards, Treat Bags (that can easily be used for small gift outside of their season with a birthday tag or something cute), and the Jubilee WOTG Stamp Set that is perfect for summer and will compliment the Taste of Summer paper pack that is available during May for National Scrapbooking month.  This grab bag has a retail value of $98.20!

Spoiler Alert! Anyone notice an item that seems to be in each grab bag? Yep, you got it!  The Season Tweetings Gift Bags!  They come in a 6-pack and I should have turned one set around so you could see the other pattern, but I didn't! :)  You get 3 topiary chevron bags, and 3 ruby polka-dot bags.  They are cotton, have a little drawstring and can be (will be) used for more than just a Holiday Gift bag.

Well, there you have it.  That's what I've gotten so far! :) If you haven't taken a chance to get one yet and you like what you see hustle on over to my Online Shopping Site and get your hands on your own bag full of goodies!  It's simple to do:  Add one regular priced item to your shopping cart (it can be any price I have gotten small embellishments and the Rub & Remove Eraser both for $2.95), add "Deal of the Day" and check out!

LAST CHANCE: Today's current Deal of the Day is a $50 grab bag and will be available until 3:59pm CST.  At 4:00pm CST today the LAST Deal of the Day will be available and will continue to be available until tomorrow, May 1st at 3:59pm!

Happy Crafting!
