We Asked, They Answered: the Close to My Heart Thin Cuts Alphabet!

Based on my professionally limited research, THIS has got to be one of the most requested products EVER.  I am SO excited to introduce you to the Close to My Heart Thin Cuts Block Alphabet as we said good-bye to a family heirloom...

It was great how the stripes in the Fundamentals Basics Paper lined up!

Aren't they fantastic for titles!?  This was actually a super way to put "big orange" in BIG letters for some BIG impact.  We had that couch for YEARS...and it was in the family FOREVER, so this was a BIG occasion.  Are you feeling me?

I used the new In the Background stamp set to ink up some polka dots in just the right size to fit the letters...

I also used the current August Stamp of the Month for the thought bubble on this layout...

It's only around for two more days!  After that, the Seasonal Expressions retires and a NEW Holiday Expressions Mini Catty begins!

Don't forget to catch the 50% off Warehouse sale items too!

School Days Stamp of the Month Layout

It's the last week of August so schools everywhere are either back in session...or soon to be.  If you're a scrappin' mom, this month's Close to My Heart Stamp of the Month should be on YOUR back to school supply list!

The Fundamentals papers and embellishments are absolutely some of the most versatile supplies I collect use!  I framed each picture out in the new Fundamentals Basics.

The yellow heart pattern and peachy watercolor paper I trimmed it out with are found in the Adventure Fundamental Paper Packet.  A dash of Bashful Glitter Paper and CS adds the perfect touch.  A few bits and pieces of some retired Fundamentals Complements round out the school themed elements nicely.

Just a sprinkling of new bronze sequins coming soon!

I stamped the pencil image from School Year in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it in with my ShinHan Marker in Golden Yellow.  Then I stamped it again in Blossom and fussy-cut to add just the eraser part of the image to complete my pencil.  The woodgrain frames are stamped in NEW Nutmeg Ink.  Finally, I used my favorite Framework Alphabet to stamp my kiddos' names in Pewter Ink to make little flag clusters.

That cutie-pie yellow polka dot ribbon is from the Adventure Ribbon Pack.

This great School Year set is only around for the month of August, so pick yourself up your own crafty school supplies after you drop off the kids!  Remember, you can always grab our Stamp of the Month for just $5 with a $50 purchase on my website!   :)

Only in August!

Still on!
