I'm Just "Dotty For You"!



National Scrapbooking Month has come early at Close To My Heart! And in true form, they are offering a FANTASTIC special for a limited time only, and while supplies last! It's the "Dotty For You" Paper Pack, and you can get yours starting right now! This gorgeous package of 24 double-sided, cardstock-weight papers has 12 different patterns (2 sheets of each) on the front, and a fantastic polka-dot pattern on the backs - in six different colors! There is no limit to the things you can do with this diverse array of paper. How can you get a hold of it? There are THREE ways:

First

Second
, as a Hostess, you will receive the Dotty For You Paper Packet for FREE when your Gathering sales total $400 or more (excluding tax, S&H, and Operation Smile donations).
Third
, anyone signing up as a new Consultant between April 1 and May 31 will receive a Dotty Paper Packet for FREE with their new Consultant Kit.

I have had a lot of fun creating with this paper - and I'm not done! But here is what I have done so far:

I really liked the layout that is pictured on the idea sheet that is included in the paper pack...so I copied it using my own title, photos, and embellishments. It's a great way to use up any scraps you have left over from all the other projects you're going to make with this kit!

This card was also featured on the idea sheet that comes with the paper packet. I thought it was really cool how the cloud with the heart was cut out of the patterned paper and used as the focal point on the card - very cute! The "Love Life" stamp set was also used on this card.

Yet one more card from the idea sheet (I loved their ideas!). I didn't have the same supplies as they did, so I improvised and created my own embellishment using the "Enjoy!" stamp set. I just love that butterfly paper!

Those of you who attended my "Flowers" workshop will recognize the ribbon-twisted flower that is the focal point on this card. I love the yellow & grey striped paper paired with the Sweet Leaf green cardstock.

Lastly, a bright & fun card using yet another flower technique from my "Flowers" workshop. This time I used a strip of one of the patterned papers to create the accordian-fold flower. Aren't these patterns fun?!

I hope these artwork samples give you a head-start and a creative boost in creating your own pieces of art with this paper packet. Remember that you can order online ANYTIME from my website at http://funforyou.ctmh.com. Enjoy!
