Hello!

I have successfully landed back on earth! 

The life changing events of the last year have taken their toll on my creative life and blogging to say the least...BUT I'm happy to say I see the tides changing and my blog life returning!

I have been knee deep in boxes and sorting and purging and unpacking...but I have also been getting crafty at work (Cherry Lane Scrapbook Shoppe) 

and with my Close To My Heart business as well!

There are so many new products out there and I'm really loving the new stuff that Close To My Heart has just released in our new Seasonal Expressions 2 catalog!

I'll be playing with our newest Calypso and Magical paper collections and our fantastic new Workshops Your Way format which features a complete paper collection with some cardstock, a full complements embellishment pack and a couple of great extra accessories which of course compliment each collection beautifully :) You can see below the Calypso WYW kit which also includes two rolls of fun washi tape and a full package of sequins!!!

Here's a quick look at the Calypso Picture My Life cards...I'll give you the run down of my exclusive Calypso WYW kit with my own layout designs next week...just to make you wait ;)

and these are the Bonus cards:

The bonus project, five Art Philosophy cards, requires the following additional items (not included in the workshop kit):

1 – Dark Neutral Cardstock Shade Pack (X5912)

Add this workshop kit plus the additional items for the bonus project to your shopping list and create three great projects—it's an excellent value!

Some basic tools you may already have, such as inks, stamp blocks, or how-to books are needed to complete these projects. The Cricut® Art Philosophy cartridge is also required (Cricut® Art Philosophy Collection Z1686). 

If you are attending one of my Workshops in person...these tools are available for you to use.
