A recommendation if I may...

Okay so I am not going to be able to the crop as I had wanted to. I forgot I am going to have family in town then and we have a baby birthday party to go to as well. Kaleah and all her little friends are growing up :(

Recently I bought the new Close to My Heart book not really expecting much. It had previously been packaged differently and I had seen part of it without being too impressed. It seemed very basic even lower then my own skills. LOL. I decided to buy it anyways as I like to show customers what the book offers even if it isn't what I would use. Much to my surprise, this book is my favorite! The pages are not overdone like I felt that some were in the previous books. I love the variety of layouts and ideas. As with all of the CTMH books, it tells you exactly how to cut the paper to fit your pages. I am in love! I might even show you some of the pages I have created soon if only I could finish the journaling on them. Yucky journaling. That has to be the worst part of scrapbooking. BTW in case you are interested the book is called Reflections.

I'm back... sorta...

I know I keep saying this but I really do intend to start creating again. I am tentatively scheduling an all day crop for March 29th. It is my intention to design a scrapbook page and card for this event. It will be using the Silhouette paper and Soul Mates word puzzle stamp set. Hopefully by next week I can have some samples ready for you and the date set in stone.
