CTMH Contest

To celebrate National Scrapbooking Month, Close To My Heart is sponsoring a contest that anyone can enter! And it is easy to enter—just submit a JPEG photo of an original two-page layout you have created that represents YOU! Be sure to tell us what is happening in the layout, and why this highlights you, your life, or your personality. The Close To My Heart judges will then review all the entries and select five finalists for each category. The finalists will be reposted for you to view. The winners of each category will be determined by comments left or votes from blog viewers. Each winner will receive $150 US retail in fabulous Close To My Heart products!

How do I enter the contest? Send us an email with a JPEG of an original two-page layout you created that represents you in some way. Give us a description of how this represents you. Send your entry to scrapbookandshare@closetomyheart.com. We will then share your artwork and the description you sent to inspire everyone who looks at the Close To My Heart Scrapbook and Share website. I will be creating my layout(s) soon. Hopefully you will join me!

The right page says what BIG eyes you have. I am still going to journal about her eyes and how everyone always comments on her eyes.

New Book!!

I have been eating up the new catalog. I am so excited to share with you Jeanette's new book. It is another card book. I can't wait to get my hands on it. It's not available until June. Arg! I can't believe I have to wait that long. Here's a sneak peak. Also, in April, we will be making a card using one of the designs in the new book. Enjoy!!
