It's Your Day National Stamping Month

Stamp Set and how to get it!

Below you see a couple things I made using the It's Your Day stamp set that can be yours for only $5 when you have an order of $35 in September.  Being a little crunched for time I went to the Artwork Bulletin Board for consultants and copied the card from Dena Hughes and the Cricut Artiste box from Melinda Everett.  This is TWO D sized stamp sets in the same package.  What a value!  If you want to order, go to my website at pamsheartart.ctmh.com and select the "Join" button for the September Monthly Group.

Using our New Studio J Express Layouts

Close To My Heart has added a line of Express Layouts which can help you create your layouts even faster, simpler,  and easier.  There are 6 Express Layout collections you may pick from to preserve your memories where you drag and drop the photos into photo wells and create your journaling. Each collection is 10 two-page layouts with one single for the front page of your album and a single page for the back.   You may change the color of the papers easily.  That is what I did on this Express Layout featuring some great things from our Close To My Heart Convention in Dallas in the middle of July.  I have developed a step by step guide for the Express Layout that I would be happy to email to you if you would wish.  Please ask me about the new, more convenient pricing!

This is Dotty For You layout I created.  So much fun!  The left page was modeled after the single page suggested on the Dotty insert and the right page was inspired by my wonderful upline Karen Pedersen.
