Last Day!

August 31 is the last day to shop out of the Close to my Heart Annual Inspirations and the Seasonal Expressions.

All of the patterned paper will be retiring.  Although we will be getting all new one's there are some that I will really miss!  This one is almost sold out and is one of my favorites!  This is the adventure line and it is just filled with water color like paper.  Just beautiful.  I'm showing you the complements too!

Next we have our Whimsey collection.  Soft and subtle!

This one is called Enchantment!  Great for school projects!

and then last we have our Basics!  I will really miss this one.  Beautiful browns and greys!

All of our papers are two sided with a different coordinating design on each side.  Even our plain cardstock has a lighter and darker side of the same color.

I sure hope that you will take a look at these before the end of the day and don't forget to check out the clearance section.  WOW the deals are incredible!  Click on the book on the side or just click here paperdivas.ctmh.com to look at everything we offer.  You can also look through both books by clicking on products and idea books.

Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend and be safe!

Happy scrapping!

Documenting your life!!!

How do you document your life and family?  For me it is with pictures!  But I don't want to just leave them on my computer so no one ever see's them.  

We have a featured paper pack of the month at Close to my Heart and this month it is called Documented!  I really didn't know what I wanted to do with it so I decided after my Husband said something to me about making pages of our Camaro for some shadow boxes, that I would just use what ever pictures were in envelopes on my desk.  So I started with the Camaro pictures and then moved on to a vacation, then family and then some friends.

So basically I was using the paper to document these events and people I love.  I know a lot of girls that don't journal on there pages and to me that is one of the most important parts of scrapbooking.

Tell your story and write it down.  I don't care if my hand writing isn't that great.  I either write on a journal card or right on the page.

Here are the pages I came up with!  This first one I am going to put in a Challenge over at the Heart 2 Heart Blog. " For the love of crafting".

This one is some pictures of our trip to South Haven!

Here is the car one!

This one is of my Sister and Brother in laws trip here in Michigan!

This one is of Friends from High School and my Work at the Post Office.

I really like the way they all turned out.  I hope you do to!  Would you like help documenting your story?  I would love to help!  Shoot me a message and check out all we have to offer at Close to my Heart.  You will love our products.

All for the love of paper!

Gear Head!

Happy Monday!

This month I am working with CTMH's featured paper pack of the month which is Documented!  You can find this paper in the current seasonal idea book which is good through the end of this month!  I just love all of the colors in this pack.

My husband has been bugging me to make shadow boxes with pictures of our Camaro in it.  This paper worked out perfectly with the trim colors of our house and the street piece of paper for the other side.  Our house is the one on the bottom of the page.  The walls in the room where he hung them are a dark green so the New England Ivy paper was perfect for the back ground and makes the layout a bit more masculine.  I am entering this photo on the Heart 2 Heart Challenge!

The little gears are from a pack of gears from Tim Holtz!

Documenting to me is what scrapbooking is all about!

Have a wonderful day!

Ah Vacation!

What vacations did you go on this summer?  We just got back from Munising in the Upper peninsula in Michigan.  Home of the famous Pictured Rocks National Shore Line on Lake Superior!  Just look at the color of that water!

Doesn't look like a lake does it?  Just beautiful!  We did some serious exploring of Water Falls, Sand Dunes, Light Houses, Beaches and Boat rides.  An unforgettable vacation for sure.

                                                            Yes that's me, down on the bottom of a canyon!

All I can say now is I have some serious scrapbooking to do.  Don't forget to get all of your paper crafting supplies on my website at paperdivas.ctmh.com!

It's all about the memories!
