Into The Wild and Bear Hugs

Hello all and Welcome to July! I am working on getting back to the swing of things after having a wonderful trip to London, England in June. This was our first time in England and we enjoyed a very busy, exciting two weeks there.

Now on to the fun stuff for the month of July! I am happy to share the Featured Paper of the Month along with the Stamp of the Month for July from Close To My Heart. The Featured Paper for the month of July is the Into The Wild Collection. This collection of papers and embellishments contains doodled designs and earthy tones that make it very versatile. It's perfect for those baby boy layouts along with layouts for those outdoor activities that are part of our summers! I can't wait to scrapbook our family hikes with this collection.

True Love and It's Your Day to Sparkle

Welcome to June everyone! It's been a little crazy around here with the end of the school year for both of my girls as well as high school graduation for my younger daughter.

Before I get in to the June Close To My Heart news, I want to do a little mom bragging. So proud of Nicole as she graduates high school and gets ready for heading off to college. She will be  studying Biology and Biotechnology at Emmanuel College in the fall.

Now on to the fun for June. I am absolutely in love with the Featured Paper Collection for the month of June from Close To My Heart - True Love. The beautiful colors of Ballerina, Sugarplum, Eggplant, Sapphire and Mint along with the delicate floral patterns are perfect for scrapbooking and card making projects to celebrate love.
