Join me for a Scrapbook "Pajama Party"

Here is what you do:

Close To My Heart is teaming up with Big Picture Classes to bring you a live webcast with step-by-step instructions for making this Happy Thoughts kraft container. The FREE webcast will air Thursday, May 30 from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm (MDT). During the presentation, you’ll learn to make several projects from a variety of sponsors, including Close To My Heart’s Happy Thoughts kraft container, as the presenter walks you through the steps. Watch the Pajama Party by yourself, with me or with your friends for a fun crafting pajama party. Anyone with an Internet connection can watch, so be sure order your project supplies in advance and then tune in!

 The Pajama Party class will be available for FREE at BigPictureClasses.com on May 30.

Studio J Custom Photo Wells

The wait is over - this is an awesome tool! Print any size photo you might need with this tool now. I love this option to be able to size my photos and manipulate them the way this new option allows me to do that. While I wait in our temporary apartment, I will have some time to sit around. I guess, I know what I will be doing - I will be sure to share some of my layouts with you!

Marker Magic

Close to my Heart markers are not Copic marker look a likes, but they are alcoholic markers and you can do some really sweet things with them! Have a look and learn. I love our short little clips, you can learn so much from them. You can create some nice art with our inexpensive markers in a short time. With the blending pen, we offer you can take color away for a great effect. Use those markers and play and see what you can create - have fun. Send me a picture of your art and I would love to share :).
