Knock, knock

I should be cleaning the bathroom, but I thought it could wait while I posted this door hanger. I really think I could use a housekeeper that way I could create beautiful artwork all day long. Wake up Lucia it isn't going to happen. :) It sure is a nice thought. I wouldn't mind having a cook while I am dreaming too. I can handle the laundry.

Anyways on to the important stuff. This cute little door hanger was created with the Bella Paper and Stickease. These will make great little gifts for your Sunday School Class kids or for Teacher doors. They would be cute for kid's bedrooms too. The ideas for them are endless.

All products are Close to my Heart except for the door and can be purchased on my website at luciag.myctmh.com.

It really is...

After watching the video yesterday I bet you are so excited about Studio J (Digital Scrapbooking) just like I am. Today, I wanted to get you even more excited. This layout below is a Digital Layout. Seriously, I couldn't believe it. Close to my Heart has been working on this for 3 years and you can really tell. I always though Digital Scrapbooking looked like Digital Scrapbooking but I have changed my mind after seeing this layout. These pages are so amazing.

If you didn't get a chance to look yesterday or if you need a second look, click here.

Have you always wanted to try Digital Scrapbooking? Well, Close to my Heart is coming out with the perfect program for you.

You’ve taken the photos—now keep the memories. With Studio J™ online design software from Close To My Heart, you can create designer scrapbook layouts in minutes, ready to be custom printed for your cherished album. The fun begins spring 2010; the excitement starts now.

Still Celebrating...

Still trying to use up a Moon Doggie Level 2 Paper Pack and Stickease. I have made these projects, the card yesterday and an Acrylic Album (which I will post on another day) and I still have paper left. You get 22 sheets of paper in the Level 2 paper packs which includes cardstock. All the paper is double-sided to give you more options. Also, with Close to my Heart everything coordinates together which saves a lot of time so you can dive right into creating.

The stamp set is August's Stamp of the Month It's Your Day. Shop now.
