February Special Campaign - Help Haiti - we can do it!

This month campaign is about helping the people in Haiti, as we know how critical is the condition they are in after the earthquake.

You may know already about the partnership that Close To My Heart maintains with Operation Smile - which gives a portion of the My Acrylix stamps set sale to help fund raise money and allows a child with cleft lips to a facial surgery.

Now the partnership extended to help Haiti too and you can check in there how you can be a part of this event:

"Our hearts go out to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti, and like so many of you, we’re eager to help. And helping has never been easier!

Felicity Card - LOVE

We all need it. We all want it. We all look for it.

LOVE is so old fashion, so contemporary, so traditional and so precious.

You can do some good and big thing to prove it or small everyday act to show it.

And in papercrafting vocabulary's - you can make a card.

This sample is made from this month's campaign's FELICITY collection papers.

The name: L~O~V~E.

The idea is from the corporate DT but you can copy it to create one of your own...with someone in mind, from your heart.

LOVE - From Craftologista.

ONE-A-DAY #3/30

Hey...did you answer the previous 2 questions of my ONE-A-DAY 30?

Ok, here we go for the 3rd:

Do you have a favorite technique to make your scrapbook pages?

You may have many of faves - like I do - but we always have a special "something" that becomes our "trademark". No matter what your technique is for your layouts, create each scrapbook as it is your best signature artwork and make sure that beyond beautiful papers and fabulous embellishments, is your memory documented in one of a kind piece of artwork...

Now showing above some pretty embellies - the new Filigree Charms(Z1269) by CTMH.

This accent pack is too included - in the VERANDA WORKSHOP KIT (shown above in the photo gallery slide).

But you can order it in separate here https://lya.myctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=5030&CatalogID=176

Suggestions to use these: as big flower center, as flower accent itself, onto a vintage fashion project, as photo corner or a fancy border matched with color-like brads. Just to name a few.

Good night!

Felicity Card - Bliss

This is one of the January's Papercrafting Month Special Campaign's sample project - from the CTMH Felicity Collection - BLISS. The name says it all.

When we make a card and give it as part of our appreciation to a special person - it always brings back a sweet feeling of bliss and gratitude.

So be happy and spread your happiness to others. That's FELICITY is all about.

ONE-A-DAY #2/30

Hi!

Here is the 2nd question of my blog's ONE-A-DAY scrapbooking survey:

What is your favorite size for scrapbook page layout and WHY?

I know that many people create pages in different sizes but we always have "a" favorite which makes us even happier.

Mine is 12x12. I also like 6"x 6", but 12" x 12" is always in my heart.

Sharing today another new goodie you can find in the Spring Idea Book: SOFT SUEDE PINWHEELS DIE CUT( z1270)... this means cute embellis for your projects!

This accent pack is a great addition to match with the new TOPSTITCH paper pack and workshop kit as well.

Good night!
