Find Your Style

This month Close To My Heart has an exciting brochure called Inspirations. It is a little book filled with lots of new goodies to hold you over until the Spring 2011 Idea Book is available. You can see the brochure and more info here. There is also a Stamp of the Month for January called Find Your Style. It contains wonderful images and sentiments. Within the images are also hidden journaling and words. It is truly a unique stamp. Take a look at some of the cards I created using this stamp and the Miracle papers. {By the way, the new Idea Book has a complete level 2 paper pack of the Miracle papers and stamps to coordinate, so pretty!}

Miracle Kit Layout

As promised, a layout using leftovers from the Miracle Kit. You'll remember the mini album I created using this month's promotional kit. I still had paper leftover and was able to create this two page layout. I added just a few bits of cardstock in chocolate and olive, as well as some twilight big brads and ribbon. I still have some paper left, a few stickease and irresistible chipboard pieces. Who knows what I'll come up with for those. All from one kit that you can get until May 31st at an unbelievable discount. Click here for more details.

It's National Scrapbooking month, therefore I'm concentrating on getting my own scrapbook caught up. Stay tuned for more pages I've been working on.

Miracle Mini Album

A few days ago I posted about this month's Miracle Kit promotion. I mentioned that it's a beautiful kit that enables you to create 2 two-page layouts full of embellishments, stickease, die cut papers and flip-flaps. Oh, let's not forget my favorite item, the Irresistibles chipboard die cuts. I also said that the kit could be used for other projects such as cards or even a mini album.

Well, I've done a mini album with this kit and I am so happy with every product. I used the All Sorts Mini Album as my base. I used a good majority of the cardstock included in the kit, but have some pieces left over. I also used just a small portion of the B&T papers included, but have enough to make some scrapbook pages. {look for those soon} I added just a few things that were not in the kit such as a brad from the new Splendor brads, some organdy ribbon, adhesive pearls, corduroy brad and rhinestone bling. I also added a few sentiments from the Treasures of the Heart stamp set and journaling lines from the Journaling Jots stamp set.

You will also see that I made a card to accompany the album for the recipient. I simply added more organdy ribbon, a paper flower and a corduroy brad to that.

The possibilities of this kit are endless and now having worked with it I am in love with the color combo and the products included.
