I was so exciting when the corporate office asked me if they could feature me along with a few other consultants throughout the country in the new Annual Inspiration book! If you know me, you know I was jumping for JOY! I was over the moon excited! Then I had to hold that secret for MONTHS! LOL, have you ever had to hold a secret for 6 months or longer? Almost to the point where you have to lock it away and almost forget about it! I just had to share the good news with you.<br />
<br />
So, when you open the book and show your friends and family, you can tell them, you actually know someone in the catalog! I thought it was really neat because we had 3 consultants from our team featured in the Spotlight page! Who else do you know or recognize?<br />

Silver and Gold, Silver and Gold... Can't you hear the words to the Christmas song from the cartoon Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer? The entire time I was creating these cards, that song kept going through my head, and I think because it's such a fun childhood memory, the MORE I created! LOL</div>

These cards were created for a card swap I'm in with a few other consultants. Being a part of Close To My Heart truly is a team effort, and even though you are in business for yourself, you're never by yourself! A few of us get together when there's a new idea book released, and create projects for our display boards to show customers at our classes, retreats, parties and crops! I love this method of sharing simply because not all "makers/creatives" create the same... that's the beauty in owning your own business and being an artist! </div>

Here's the other card I created. If you know anything about me, you know that I really enjoy using our exclusive <a href="https://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Category.aspx?CatalogID=244">Close To My Heart Cricut Collections</a>, that come in both physical cartridges and digital cartridges that you use a code to redeem in Design Space, but at the same time, no matter which version you choose, you still get over 700+ images/fonts, a full pack of 12x12 heavy weight cardstock that cuts beautifully in your Cricut or any other electronic or manual die cutting system, and 3... YES, THREE, D-size My Acrylix coordinating stamp sets! (D-size stamp sets are the largest we have besides our Alphabet sets, meaning typically there are enough stamp images to cover an entire 6x6 carrier sheet, and cost $17.95 each) So, when you purchase any of our <a href="https://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Category.aspx?CatalogID=244">Cricut Collections</a>, you truly are getting a great deal!<br />
<br />
Now to the fun part, look at the photo below!! I'm so proud of this...<br />

Remind you of my gold lace I created for the Valentine's Cards back in January for the Stamp of the month? As I was designing these cards, I really wanted to do the same thing with either a string of Christmas lights, or snowflakes! Well, living in Colorado, and having a Winter birthday, the snowflakes won! :) and I've already done the hard part for you, so now it's just a matter of clicking the link for the <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/design/68478591">Cricut Design Space</a> cut files for it, and you can recreate this card, or just use the "lace" silver metallic foil design! (Purchase your <a href="https://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10312&ci=9402">Silver Foil Paper</a> here)<br />

I created this single page layout for my travel album, or as a divider within my scrapbook... it features the State, the State flower, and the state flag, which I designed... when you purchase <a href="https://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10285&ci=9144">Hello USA</a> from me, as a Thank You, I'll send you the entire DS cut files for FREE!<br />

<br />
Both state pages, Colorado and Texas, were designed to include a replica of the State flag, and as you can see in the video above, you add your <a href="https://elise31.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9343">flip flap</a> to your page protector, and then you've got room for at least three 4x6 photos! Of course with our flip flaps it makes it as easy as mud pie to add as many photos to your layout as you like! :)<br />

I am so excited to share such wonderful news with you! <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=833389&u=1595091&m=51766&urllink=&afftrack=">Check out what's new at Cricut</a><br />
<br />
So, not only was I a part of the 250 attendees of bloggers, influencers and consumers that were invited to such an exclusive event, but after the huge announcement of the new Cricut Maker, the CEO, Ashish Arora, told all of us during the closing ceremonies that we would ALL get a <span style="font-size: large;">FREE</span> Cricut Maker delivered to our home before in-store availability!<br />
<br />

When he said that, I almost lost my mind! The room started spinning, I had happy tears running down my cheeks, and I was doing a happy dance! I felt like I was going to pass out from excitement! Is that even a thing? Can you imagine?<br />
<br />
So, once my Cricut arrived, I immediately began creating several projects... oh yes! I need to post those! (you've gotten a few sneak peeks if you follow me @ScarletteDesigns on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/ScarletteDesigns">Instagram</a> or if you're a part of my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/437371516598327/?source_id=1582201242007199">VIP Create & Craft with Elise</a> Facebook Group)<br />
<br />
Well, I had to share the news with you. Make sure to follow my blog because you know I share Friday Freebies, and it's usually Cricut Design Space cut files of something that I've created or currently working on. All links on my blog contain trusted affiliate links, and I receive a small portion from your purchase. So, just like when you purchase from my Close To My Heart online store, now, whatever you decide to purchase from clicking a link on my blog to any Cricut product, I will receive a small percentage!<br />
<br />
I appreciate you taking the time to share in my excitement!<br />
<br />
Don't forget, <a href="http://www.elise31.ctmh.com/">Close To My Heart</a> has exclusive <a href="https://elise31.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/products/cricut-collections.aspx">Cricut Cartridge Collections</a> available!

Are you a Cricut Lover? Do you love to make things with your Cricut, be it papercrafting projects, DIY home décor items, party planning decorations, vinyl crafting on t-shirts or mugs/cups?<br />
<br />
Well, I just got back from Salt Lake City, Utah! Only a handful of Makers were invited to this special event where they did the big unveiling on the new Cricut Maker, the Cricut Easy Press, and the Cricut BrightPad (of which if you follow me on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ElliseCTMH">Facebook</a> or <a href="http://www.instagram.com/ScarletteDesigns">Instagram</a>, you may have seen me using the BrightPad to make my Cricut "Poodle" Skirt)<br />

So, what's the big deal with the new Cricut Maker?<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>It cuts materials such as Leather, Balsa Wood, Felt, Matteboard, over 100 different fabrics (up to 2.3mm thick!)</li>
<li>Cricut and Simplicity partnered together so now you can draw patterns and cut them out with one machine! No more pinning and handcutting!</li>
<li>Rotary Blade allows for fabric cutting with ease, and the Knife Blade (due out Oct 2017) knows the exact pressure for different materials depths! So, basically you'll use the blade for the right material, select your material in Design Space 3, and pretty much "Set it and Forget it!" (not really, but I like to call it "Idiot Proof" only because I was able to cut fabric for my cosmetic bag without having to figure out how thick my material/fabric was and it automatically determines how many passes/cuts and how much pressure to apply! YAY!)</li>
<li>There is a slot to put your tablet or phone AND it comes with a charging slot/plug so you can connect your electronic device and use Design Space without your device losing its charge before you finish your project!</li>
<li>Many, many more features!</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>

And, bonus? No matter what you use your Cricut for, I love the fact that Cricut and Close To My Heart have a wonderful relationship, and honestly, that was the other reason I decided to join CTMH! Of course the unique high quality clear MyAcrylix™ Stamps, but the fact that we carry Exclusive Cricut cartridges and digital collections! <br />
<br />
Thank you for joining me and what's coming soon!<br />

<br />
Ok, you've seen me use it, you've fallen in love with it, and you've decided you want to purchase this stamp set, right?!? Of course you have! And I don't blame you, the possibilities are ENDLESS! I've had so much fun creating with it, I've decided to give some goodies away, so I thought we could have some fun and one lucky person could win some crafty goodies!<br />
<br />
So....<br />
<br />
How about a card swap challenge? This way you will get some gorgeous greeting cards to send that are ready to go or you can get some inspiration on different ways to use this stamp!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://cdn.closetomyheart.com/global/inventory/products/47d8477e-fe3a-40a1-91ec-885821f9d2ea.jpg?w=400&h=400" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://cdn.closetomyheart.com/global/inventory/products/47d8477e-fe3a-40a1-91ec-885821f9d2ea.jpg?w=400&h=400" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Take a look at this full-sized beautiful stamp set just for $9.95! This is the stamp we will use for the card swap challenge! During the month of July for Stampaganza, you can purchase 2 stamps and get 1 FREE! That's right, so now you see why I said invite your friends to participate in the fun swap and challenge?<br />
<br />
Just $9.95 for this stamp set...That's right, and when you choose to purchase this stamp and participate in the card swap, you'll get 10 cards from other creatives just like yourself, PLUS, you'll receive the new Close To My Heart Idea Book just for participating and doing what you love most!<br />
<br />
There will be TEN slots, so act quickly! For everyone that signs up, I will give a current CTMH catalog (the idea book I mentioned), which will be mailed to you along with your swap cards. I am not sure if you have ever received a CTMH catalog, but it is a book of inspiration. You will LOVE it!! *If we have more than 10, you will go on the waitlist and if we have 10 more, I will open up another group! Tell your crafty friends!<br />

I love a good challenge, and sometimes it takes an outside eye to see things differently. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So from time to time I get a chance to play along with the ladies over at the <a href="http://colormyheartcolordare.blogspot.com/">Color My Heart Color Dare blog</a> for the weekly challenge. This is definitely a fun group, and by participating, it will get you out of your comfort zone! These are colors taken from the <a href="https://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9961&ci=8424">Prickly Pear Collection</a> (that's the featured paper for the month of July with Close To My Heart #CTMHPricklyPear if you create something and let us know!) Right from the start I fell in love with this collection because the colors were so bright and cheery! The <a href="http://colormyheartcolordare.blogspot.com/2017/07/color-dare-252-emerald-sea-glass.html">Color Dare #252</a> included colors from Prickly Pear and they added Raspberry and Silver to give it a different perspective, and in my opinion, it totally works! Join in on the fun, get your artwork created and linked on their blog by 10pm tonight! Good luck!</div>

Immediately when I saw this color palette, I knew I could use the <a href="https://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9261&ci=8208">Workshop Your Way "Party Time" Card Making Kit</a>! If you remember seeing my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BL6ZCiMgg1u/?taken-by=scarlettedesigns">Instagram post</a>, I created those cards when it first came out, back in October. For this project, I used my scraps that were left over! The kit is only $19.95 until the end of July or while supplies last.<br />
<br />
Want to recreate this card? Or something similar to it?<br />
<br />
How-To Instructions/Dimensions:<br />
Cut all pieces according to Supply list below. (*Note, at the time of the blog post, the Raspberry Heart B&T sold out, but can very easily be substituted with plain Raspberry Cardstock)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRf-67tmcJpQJhzLc5_I36hMwtHZhprfJgxeNQQo94YJET_FA35g2qPtn5y3RlscviY2kTHnpcLHFy4ya_70RlAXj0h4EeSvw_w-uJC1oayhG-YFddLI2G_gsT5kKqIx4Js_n8pnbcxZA/s1600/20170719_170258.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRf-67tmcJpQJhzLc5_I36hMwtHZhprfJgxeNQQo94YJET_FA35g2qPtn5y3RlscviY2kTHnpcLHFy4ya_70RlAXj0h4EeSvw_w-uJC1oayhG-YFddLI2G_gsT5kKqIx4Js_n8pnbcxZA/s320/20170719_170258.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Next you will stamp and heat emboss the image on the 4" square cardstock.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Once your image is completely heat set, go ahead and sit that to the side.<br />
<br />
Next, you can begin your assembly! I wanted there to be a border and a thin strip, so there's a method to my madness. You'll notice the Black Dot paper (which in the kit is the opposite side of the large Purple Circles), is cut slightly larger than what is visible on the card, so building from the bottom up (see photos below)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhulzzezcTS6zcvEcf-qJOt06qqPcPMfKZCTK-xGa0YLEFpdtmz2zsovcwYVB4F2Inpw_Vc7JlJtZuwmqnoxXDBRLf77VPG1n560Me5upbfIymSqQ81GN4mnmdIQdzHZcTs_NteAGb5D4A/s1600/20170720_072705.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1184" data-original-width="1600" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhulzzezcTS6zcvEcf-qJOt06qqPcPMfKZCTK-xGa0YLEFpdtmz2zsovcwYVB4F2Inpw_Vc7JlJtZuwmqnoxXDBRLf77VPG1n560Me5upbfIymSqQ81GN4mnmdIQdzHZcTs_NteAGb5D4A/s320/20170720_072705.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br />
And then you can add the dove-tailed Emerald and Sea Glass pieces, Bitty Sparkles and whatever sentiment you have chosen for your card (I diecut "<a href="https://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9807&ci=8585">Happy Birthday</a>" out in two colors, once in Raspberry and the second in Black!<br />

Sometimes when "Life gives you Lemons, you make Lemonade"<br />
<br />
That song is going through my head and was so fun and catchy to hear Alex Boye sing it at our recent Close To My Heart convention. Such a catchy tune that's for sure!<br />
<br />
Up today, I had to share a card I created for dual reasons. The best part is, that I've been using up my stash! If you recognize the 2 papers used here, and you can accurately identify them, I'll send you a FREE card set for you to create your own! Just leave a comment and I'll pick a winner next Saturday, July 22.<br />
<br />
So not only was this card a Thank You for a gift I received, but recently I was rushed to the ER after ingesting avocado from a local restaurant in a dish that wasn't supposed to have a big chunk of avocado. (Even after I mentioned to them I was allergic to avocados! Hmmm...) <br />
<br />
Once the word got out, I was so overwhelmed with the outreach and pouring of support from friends and family and customers and followers of the like! Everyone sending me prayers and virtual hugs and get well wishes, it only seemed appropriate to create a Thank You card during my recovery and post it on social media. Yes, I could have just posted "THANK YOU", but I'm a creator! LOL... why not make a beautiful quick and easy card with fun, bright colors... more eye catchy, right??<br />
<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, because I knew I was mailing it and I didn't want to have to pay the extra postage, I used my <a href="https://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=272">Close To My Heart Thin Cuts metal die</a>! I had seen this technique somewhere on Instagram. (Quite often Instagram can be a very cool resource because there are so many talented people, and it's just fun to take about 15 min out of the day just to see what everyone is creating for either inspiration, or to see what the latest and greatest is! Are you following me <a href="https://www.instagram.com/scarlettedesigns/">@ScarletteDesigns</a>)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As you can see above, you cut out the image in 2 different mediums, and in this case, I chose to use the <a href="https://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9348&ci=6725">black glitter paper</a> from CTMH, and just regular <a href="https://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=382&ci=4887">White Daisy</a> cardstock. Then the magic of it all? Put it back together like a puzzle, and you've got a "flat" card with "dimension" and texture for the eye and for those that love to "touch" :) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I added a few <a href="https://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=5025&ci=5945">Bitty sparkles</a>, a little bit of <a href="https://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8054&ci=6067">Ranger Princess Gold</a> Embossing Powder in fine detail, and voila! Instant card, CAS, and mailed out for the regular $0.49 postage! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love reading your comments, and if you try this technique, or have questions or suggestions, please feel free to leave a comment! Don't forget, if you are the first person that can accurately tell me which 2 paper sets I used to create this card, I'll send you a free card kit to create your very own!</div>

I created this card for our new Seasonal Expressions 2 Launch. The paper pack used is the newly released <a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9934&ci=8458" target="_blank">Prickly Pear Collection</a>. After all the recent freak snow/hail storms I decided I needed something bright and cheery! YAY!! What do you think of these colors? They just screamed Spring, Summer and Birthday to me! I wanted to go for something a little Gender Neutral, so it didn't scream GIRL!!! (Although you know I'm the epitome of "Girly Girl"... love me some pink and red!!) So, this was stepping out of my creative box for a bit.</div>

Not to mention it was getting close to Cinco de Mayo; you know, the day after the infamous and now drawn out with ridiculous memes for "May the 4th be with you". Here's a close up of both the outside (seen above) and the inside (featured below) of the card I created. After moving to the Midwest/Rockies/Ski Country... Cinco de Mayo just isn't the same... Oh yeah, it's celebrated here, but not like they celebrate in Texas! Ha! Margarita specials go on EVERYWHERE there... here, yeah, they say they're celebrating, but restaurants here know nothing about running appetizer and drink specials, oh well... we've got snow! LOL<br />
<br />
I used 2 different stamp sets, <a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9994&ci=8382">Fiesta Time (C1681)</a> and the one that comes as a Bonus with the<br />

<br />
So now that you've seen the card front and inside sentiments, let's take a closer look at just how this card was created...<br />
<br />
Below you'll see the start of my creative process. Color, color, color... Yes, as a Copic enthusiast and Certified Designer, and the little girl in me, I had to color these margaritas to look as yummy as possible. I'm still in school for Illustration, so I love to try different coloring mediums, and it just so happens that Close To My Heart also carried professional alcohol markers! <a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/products.aspx?CatalogID=237">Shin Han Art Touch Twin markers</a>, just like Copic markers, are also used by all kinds of artists, including Manga artists and Pixar/Disney artists (storyboards... everything else is digital of course)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyqj8t1Zs9sZoORAodCGOkY6-SHFPxG5AkuwoC3LX9cg9jmbLldSek6seByGpO76xIWsqQ3lB6VzV7ujJU2-8nh2hP64hAC07ojFB6fwPXxkMeJ0t513g1FjHnUY52pgIJomrTZSL1LUw/s1600/20170503_135511.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyqj8t1Zs9sZoORAodCGOkY6-SHFPxG5AkuwoC3LX9cg9jmbLldSek6seByGpO76xIWsqQ3lB6VzV7ujJU2-8nh2hP64hAC07ojFB6fwPXxkMeJ0t513g1FjHnUY52pgIJomrTZSL1LUw/s320/20170503_135511.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Colors use to color the lime margaritas are:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8105&ci=6150">Y49 Pastel Green</a></li>
<li><a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8100&ci=6145">GY234 Leaf Green</a></li>
<li><a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8109&ci=6154">GY235 Sap Green</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
First I stamped and heat embossed the image with Versamark and Ranger Princess Gold Ultra fine embossing powder, colored the image, and just for another "true" added affect, I added Liquid Glass to create that epoxy/glass look! (Besides I'm not a fan flat images... needs dimension!)</div>

Here's another fave of mine! Dimension, dimension, dimension!! *smiles* If you look below, not only is "love" layered in a stamped look on this watercolored background, but the kit also comes with a coordinating "love" foil sticker that you just place wherever you like! (of course you're free to jazz up your layouts however you wish, but I'm just showing the way the kit was designed. *You should see what other customers and consultants have done with this kit so far!)<br />

Everything you see here! Enough to create five 2-page layouts for a total of 10 pages! That's nearly half a complete album! You just punch out all the pieces, follow the step by step in instructions, add your photos with your favorite adhesive, journal (or not... LOL... totally up to you) and your done! <b><i>Even includes 6 memory page protectors</i></b>!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We also have the complete kit that comes with the album, adhesive and journaling pen that makes this easy for a beginner scrapbooker, or even someone that has been crafting for years and just needs to get out of that creative slump.</div>

Our latest Seasonal Expression just launched on Monday and while I was in the process of creating card and scrapbook class samples, I thought I'd create a quick and easy Picture My Life card! (Also called Project Life or Pocket Scrapbooking through out the Papercrafting world)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I specifically designed it to show the versatility and ease of using our Flip Flaps! So this one uses a 4x6 and a 3x3 flip flap! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
You can purchase those here in my online store http://elise31.ctmh.com </div>

Want to join my team? With Close to My Heart you get so many benefits, plus you can even be your own hostess! Just ask me how! </div>

This card was a joy to create!! From the moment I first saw this <a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9266&ci=6819">Oh Deer!</a> paper pack, I knew it would be good for not only Christmas, but it's so perfect for hiking and our trip to Vail/Avon CO last Easter! The beautiful <a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9288&ci=6815">Sea Glass</a> color and the pine cones matched so many things, and it can even be used for Camping or just any form of nature photos/events! (Which can both be found in the <a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9288&ci=6815">Coordinating Oh Deer! Cardstock</a> paper packet)<br />

<br />
Here's a close up of the card I created, the pine cones are from the Cricut cartridge <a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=249">Artistry</a> (available <a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=249">HERE</a>) and the deer and the Pine/Christmas Tree are from our newly released <a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9422&ci=6821">Thin Cuts</a>, which you can get as a set together or separate but it's only available until the end of December or while supplies last! So if you think you might have a need for a Deer and a Pine Tree, now is the time to get yours!! The snowflake diecut/Thin Cut is no longer available, but it just goes to show that when you see a newly released item and you THINK you might want it, definitely get it before it sells out!<br />

I really had fun creating this for you! I've designed it so that you can basically get 4 cards from the project using one sheet of paper each (most of them you only need a 12"x5" piece of B&T or Cardstock; with the exception of Lagoon... Lagoon is your card base/topper measured in 4"x5.25" but if you have Cricut Design Space, it'll cut all four from one sheet)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well, not really Florence Italy, but the Close To My Heart Florence Paper Collection! LOL...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">With 3 of our favorite collections retiring on the 31st of August, I thought I'd include another fun card project to feature our Florence collection!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">As you can see here, I've designed this card with one of the pocket scrapbooking cards I had left over after creating the workshop and bonus scrapbook pages. This card only took about 10 minutes to make, so if you're in a hurry and need one fast, this is a definite must!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is the 4x6 PML card, I trimmed it down to 5 </span><span style="font-size: large;">1/4</span><span style="font-size: large;">" x 4" and adhered it to the 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" Ruby Cardstock and glued those both to the White card base. Next, I layered the other pieces and glued those down and pop dotted the blue flower from the Florence Complements pack.</span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Measurements:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Ruby Cardstock (5 3/8" x 4 1/8" AND 1 1/4" x 4 1/2")</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Pacifica Cardstock (3 1/2" x 2 1/8")</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">PML (trim to 5 1/4" x 4")</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Flaxen B&T (1 1/8" x 4 3/8")</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Red Dot B&T (3 1/2" x 2")</span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope this project has inspired you or at least I was able to show you how you don't have to use the pocket scrapbook cards for pocket pages, you can still use them for cardmaking or even for traditional memory keeping ways!</span><br />

What could be better than treating yourself to brand new scrapbooking paper? How about getting even MORE paper for free! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
During the month of August, when you order our Whimsy, Adventure, and Enchantment Fundamentals papers, you can choose to get either the Rustic Home or Uptown Fundamentals for FREE! Both of these Basics packs feature foil designs and specialty materials for making your artwork unique. Yep, this deal is basically the best!<br />
* With qualifying purchase. Offer valid August 1, 2016 (9:00 am MDT) – August 31, 2016 (11:59 pm MDT) while supplies last.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Simply find PROMOTIONS on my <a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/">online store</a>, decide which FREE collection you want, and click "Add to Cart!!" It's that simple, no need to search and add 4 different items, one click adds everything you need including your freebie! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Both Rustic Home and Uptown Fundamentals include:</b><br />
12 – 12" × 12" sheets (2 each of 6 designs), including some vellum paper and gold foil accents</div>
<div dir="ltr">
My personal favorite is the Uptown Fundamentals collection just because I've been working on a lot of Formal projects like wedding and New Years pages and cards. Shop my website (http://elise31.ctmh.com) , and leave me a comment on what your favorite collection is, and you could win the coordinating Ribbon and Complements! Winner will be announced on September 1st! Good Luck! I can't wait to see what you choose!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Remember just 2 weeks remaining on this offer!</div>

<h2>
Copy That Challenge</h2>
<div>
How adorable is that title? I nearly fell over when I stumbled upon this blog and I thought "hey! I can do that, and why hadn't anyone told me about this cool blog?" It was like I had found some sort of RARE GEM hidden in the shadows of the internet... (well, no not actually, it was just that I'm still getting my Mojo back in the creative department that I must have been living under a rock for the past 18 months, because it seems like I'm the only one that didn't know about it!) LOL....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyhow, If you haven't seen the new Close To My Heart Annual Inspirations Idea Book, I might have to say, come out from under that rock!! Have you been online to check it out?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Doesn't matter, you've GOT to see this one in person!! So many fresh ideas, so many trending colors and papers and techniques, etc. I could go on forever about how you really should have a <a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9685&ci=7572" target="_blank">PHYSICAL</a> copy of this Annual Inspirations Idea Book!! (Why you ask? Because it's not just a catalog/dream book/craft tool, it lives up to its name "INSPIRATIONS... IDEA BOOK" ... talk about chock full of ideas, and techniques and tips, I could go on and on and on...) <a href="mailto:elisectmh@gmail.com" target="_blank">Contact me</a> for your copy or simply visit my website and you can purchase one there and it'll ship directly to you!</div>
<div>
<br />
The <a href="http://heart2heartchallenges.blogspot.com/2016/08/copy-that.html" target="_blank">Heart 2 Heart Challenge</a> was to choose a piece of artwork from the current Idea Book and copy it... Simple enough, right? So...</div>
<div>
<br />
here's the original CTMH artwork I chose to "copy" shown from page 41 in the Idea Book...<br />

I created the original version, and then I enjoyed it so much, I went ahead and created a baby girl version of the same layout just to show how versatile these papers are! PLUS, if you don't like the "traditional" blue for boy and pink for girl, you can create the exact same layout in Green (Sweet Leaf) or Lavender (Thistle) (And if you make it to the end of my blog, I've got a FREE gift for you just for visiting today!) Actually, you could create it in ANY color you choose and it totally works! </div>

Here's the sample papers from the Whimsy Fundamentals Collection:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And yes, I even broke out the Janome and stitched the banners to the layout! It was a learning curve to creating this layout though, and I want to recommend that any time you're actually sewing on your layout or card that you sew the pieces prior to gluing them to your layout base or card base. I got so excited I forgot to do that on the Glacier page, but remembered to do it on the Pixie page. By doing it PRIOR to adhering it to your base, this will allow you to still use the flip side for another layout! (I like to conserve on space in my scrapbooks, so when I create a layout using a sheet of B&T, I design it so that I can use the back side as well!) Just conserves on space and paper! </div>

So, if you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/scarlettedesigns/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> (@ScarletteDesigns) or if you follow my business page on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/elisectmh/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> (EliseCTMH), then you probably remember seeing this photo and that I was working with the NEWEST Close To My Heart Annual Idea (AI) Book products recently released on August 1st. Were you wondering what I was working on or how it was going to work out? I guess by the dimensions on the background photo, you may have been able to see that they were small enough to be cards, or possibly pocket scrapbooking, either way, I know a lot of you were totally psyched about the beautiful colors and even with the stamp sets!<br />
<br />
<br />
So, here's the debut and how I created everything... (For the first card anyways! LOL)<br />

As you can see here, I started with my Cricut shapes first, using the Exclusive <a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/retail/product.aspx?sku=Z3167" target="_blank">CTMH Artistry</a> cartridge, and then designed the rest of the card around these. I only knew one color that I wanted to start with, and that was the new Close To My Heart Color of the Year, <a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9275&ci=4872" target="_blank">SEA GLASS</a>, and I knew that I wanted my card to be universal/unisex, where the recipient could be male or female. Then of course it was trial and error to figure out what color combo was perfect, because not only did I want it to look good, I also wanted the colors to be realistic and representative of a real layered birthday cake... so, I asked a random question to my Facebook audience, and they posted they liked cake flavors such as Strawberry, Chocolate, and of course Cheesecake! (I mean, who doesn't love Cheesecake??) So, I used their suggestions (and included my favorite) and below is the result!! What do ya think? I thought it looked incredibly YUMMY! :) And to make it even look more realistic, I decided to use my <a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9403&ci=6769" target="_blank">Shimmer Brush</a> and <a href="http://elise31.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=1030" target="_blank">Liquid Glass</a>, because who doesn't love a nice glossy frosting (or icing, depending on what part of the country your from!

WOW! Can you believe July is almost over? I feel like we've been back only a few short days from the Close to My Heart National Covention 2015, and man can I say I've probably never been more exhausted and so full of excitement all at one time! It was my first CTMH convention and I must say it was well worth the trip, the wait and the cost! (I even won an opportunity to meet Jeannette Lynton, Founder & CEO). If you didn't get a chance to go this year, I highly suggest you join me next year! Ask me How!!<br />
<br />
WOW, can they party!! (And I've been to other conventions before, and I've gotta say I've never seen a more organized convention ever!! LOL)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now on to some exciting news... as many of you know, we've got a new Idea Book coming out in September, so right now I highly recommend you taking a look at the <a href="http://elise31.ctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=18" target="_blank">Retiring Stamp sets and products</a> to make sure you get your hands on your favorites (including the Enchantment Cardstock Combo Pack - #X5934) Oh, don't worry, it's not going away entirely--just enhancing the color palette (keep reading to find out what additional colors you'll have to choose from soon!):</div>
