Celebrate National Papercrafting Month!


January is National Papercrafting Month and this is the LAST WEEK to take advantage of the fun special from Close To My Heart. The limited edition “Year >> Noted” Papercrafting Kit features brand new cardstock colors and Background & Texture papers, as well as fabulous gold foil stickers and an Exclusive stamp set. The best part is you can get the whole set for only $5 when you place a qualifying $50 order. Plus, there is a $5 Kraft Mini Book option with no additional purchase required. All together you can get over $34 in Close To My Heart products for $10. Here’s a visual of what’s included:
My daughter wanted to do up a small scrapbook of the cat we have newly acquired, so I immediately thought of this kit – it was perfect! There was really no need to utilize the stickers or stamp set, but she used the fun patterned papers and the Skylark Picture My Life (PML) cards that I had left over from the 2013 Year-in-Review scrapbook I did last year (there were a LOT of left overs!). The Kraft Mini Album is sized perfectly for the PML cards. Here are just a few of the pages:





She has yet to do the journalling, but you get the picture. She had it put together in a flash!

Being a card-maker myself, I used the patterned paper and gold foil stickers (to back the sentiment) and the stamps from the Exclusive stamp set that’s included (to create a fun border for the sentiment and around the edge of the card) to make this card:
The sentiment was cut from CTMH’s Exclusive “Artfully Sent” Cricut Cartridge, which cuts dozens and dozens of Picture My Life-sized cards. I love it! Remember – this Kit is available through the end of THIS WEEK ONLY – and ONLY WHILE SUPPLIES LAST! Anyone placing an order and purchasing the “Year >> Noted” Kit will receive an “Artwork Showcase” PDF from me via email. This is a great kicking-off point to get your creative juices flowing!
