Pretty Papers!

Oh my gosh! I'm so excited about our new Autumn/Winter 2009 Idea Book! As you can see from the photo it is overflowing with beautiful artwork, stamps, and accessories. And don't get me started on the pretty papers! I can't even begin to describe how fashion forward and beautiful they are. In fact, the best way is to tempt you with photos of artwork from the fabulously talented art department at Close to My Heart. Feel free to click on any of the images for a close up of the artwork.

The first mouth watering paper kit is called Jingle (Level 1 kit -X7115A, Level 2 kit - X7115B, My Stickease - X7115C). I love, love, love all the bright candy colors of Christmas! Each piece of paper is so fun and full of energy. A whole new way to express Christmas. I can see birthday pages and cards done with this kit as well. Very versitile! A new embellishment that coordinates beautifully is the HeartFelt Die-Cuts. They come as three 12x12 sheets, 1 of each color (chocolate, olive, twilight), and add just the right touch of fun, soft texture (Z1210). Shapes include leaves, swirls, acorns, snowflakes, animals, borders, and more! Felt is always a great way to finish off any piece of artwork.

This nostalgic kit is appropriately called Sweet Home (Level 1 - X7116A, Level 2 - X7116B, My Stickease - X7116C). It reminds me of the comfort of Grandma's house and warm chocolate chip cookies. And anything that reminds me of chocolate is a must have! If you look closely you'll see a fantastically clear new accessory called "Top Coats" (Z1211). These are 4x6 photo-size transparencies, each with a unique printed design. Each package contains 6 in White Daisy and 6 in Colonial White. Now it's easier than ever to dress up your photos and keep the focus on your loved ones!

My heart skipped a beat when I beheld the elegant Grace kit(Level 1 - X7117A, Level 2 - X7117B, My Stickease - X7117C). The lovely color combination and floral design makes this paper so warm and inviting for autumn layouts. The artwork also features our newest in the line of Dimensional Elements called "On Target" (Z1226). This 12.5 x 12.5 sheet of white chipboard contains circles of all sizes and styles. There's no limit to what you can do to alter them, whether it be stamp, paint, paper, or chalk.

The final kit in our latest line is cheerfully called Twitterpated (Level 1 - X7118A, Level 2 - X7118B, My Stickease - X7118C). The hip colors and modern design will please all ages. This definately chirps "youthful" and "energetic". To add more energy to your layouts Close to My Heart created the Dimensional Elements In Color-Organic (Z1230). In each package there are 27 chipboard buttons, 1/2 in to 1 1/2in in diameter with fun designs and patterns. You'll want to add them to everything, and at a great price of $3.50 it's easier than ever to stock up!
