Do you know someone graduating this year? This is the perfect time to make a special card for that person. I feel for the ones graduating as well as their family members. It’s such a special time. So many traditions and celebrations associated with this time in life. It’s hard to not feel a great sense of loss in missing out on those milestones.
Okay, exciting news for you today. If the news of Close To My Heart hosting an all-day event for National Scrapbooking Day was exciting for you, you’re going to be ecstatic for this next piece of news. CTMH is going to host a 2-day (yep, 2 days!) virtual scrapbooking retreat where you’ll complete an entire album on May 15 & 16 all as part of their celebration of National Scrapbooking Month!
This week’s Make It Monday features another FREE card pattern! This “Pretty Simple” Pattern is from our now retired Originals Card Program. It’s a great pattern that, like it’s name says, is pretty simple! But even though it is simple, it doesn’t mean you can’t dress it up a bit.
Today I have a versatile scrapbook pattern to share with you! This particular design would make a great introductory layout for your “Let’s Stay Home” story.
Remember this stack of happy mail I shared earlier this week? Well, it’s officially on it’s way to oodles of my favorite people. I hope when they find it in their mailbox, it brings a smile to their face.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! For most, this particular holiday won’t seem quite the same this year with the new norm of social distancing. Parades have been cancelled, bars closed and where I live, you basically have to avoid someone if you see them approaching you on the sidewalk!
The *NEW* Close To My Heart March-April Catalog is HERE and it’s amazing! As usual there are many new stamp sets, accessories and papers. But perhaps the thing that struck me the most about this new catalog is all the texture!
