Flowers and Ladybugs Blog Hop Day 2

Hello and welcome to the Flowers and Ladybugs Blog Hop! If you are here from leslie-rahye at http://leslierahye.blogspot.com, then you are in the right place. If not, please go back to the beginning at http://beyondscrapin.blogspot.com so you can see all of the great projects!

This weekend I am sharing two layouts from a baby book created using the Lucy papers, stamps and embellishments from Close To My Heart. The flowers are cut using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge and the lettering is from the Artiste Cricut cartridge, both available only from Close To My Heart.


This layout has two pull-out journaling cards, one for mom and one for dad to record their thoughts for baby.  There is also a place for a photo of the proud parents.

Thanks for stopping by!  I've enjoyed sharing these layouts with you.  Later in the week I will post the rest of the photos.  Your next stop is www.craftycardgallery.blogpsot.com.

August Events

Scholastic
August brings some BIG changes for Close To My Heart and me!  Beginning this month, Close To My Heart offers some exciting new home decor products and two of them are offered as Workshop on the Go kits!  Also, Close To My Heart brought back card-making Workshop on the Go kits!

Scroll Album
Starting this month, I will offer two crop nights each month for you to have plenty of time to create all of the fabulous products available.  As always, the crop night is free and friends are welcome!  During August, I will highlight the Scholastic and Scroll Album Workshop on the Go kits.  To order your kits, click here for Scholastic or here for the Scroll Album.  To RSVP for either date, click here. If you can't join us in person, these kits have all of the instructions you need to complete them on your own at home.

You may be wondering what my big news is.  We are moving!  Why do I share this with you?  Because our new house has a walk-out basement that will be my new craft room with lots of space for you to craft with us each month!  If I can get it set up super quick, we will meet there August 24th.  If that doesn't work, we will begin meeting there in September.  I can't wait!
