Sangria is our featured collection throughout October.  That means you can see lots of layouts, cards and paper crafting on social media.  I'll feature several projects here throughout the month and you can also view lots of great ideas on the official Close To My Heart Blog, Facebook page and Instagram, @ctmhofficial .

Best Day - Zoe Workshop on the Go

sept-2-pages-page-007
I love this layout from the Zoe Workshop on the Go.  It provides a big canvas for photo placement.  The layout comes from the Magic How To Book (9040).  It's called One Way Mirror.

These photos were taken when we were in Hawaii for the Close To My Heart Incentive Trip.  80 of us took a sunset cruise and got to watch the lights come on in Waikiki.  Everything had a lovely pink glow.  When we looked out the other side of the boat, the sun was putting on a show for us.

We celebrated National Stamping Month along with the launch of the CTMH Annual Inspirations and Holiday Expressions catalogues last Saturday.  Our event was a Paper Picnic attended by 35 ladies.

A Paper Picnic is a relaxed day spent creating with paper.  Some scrapbook , others make cards or create mini albums and gifts.  Everyone brought a plate to share for lunch, a bright happy smile and a willingness to try something new.

Carborders - What's that all about?

sept-2-pages-page-007
I share a love of paper, stickers, bling, inks and stamps with card makers and album makers.  We are often all creating in the same room at a workshop.

One of the things I love to do for my customers is offer the opportunity to try new products via a Make and Take project.  I'm always in a dilemma about whether the project should be a card or a page border.

So, I put my thinking cap on and found a way to make something everyone can use!  It's called a Carborder. We begin with a 4" strip of cardsto…
