Happy National Scrapbooking Month! We are celebrating in a BIG way at Close To My Heart! Close To My Heart released an exclusive paper pack and stamp set set just during the month of May.  They are not only absolutely adorable, they are priced right and you will not want to miss out on getting either of them while supplies last (and before the month is over)! The paper pack is just $8.95 for 12 sheets of this beautifully patterned paper.  While the fruit patterns are cute, you will fall in love with the bright colors on the back side.  Whichever side you choose to use, you will love the results! And this cute stamp set...  Yeah... I love it!  It's great for cards, layouts and any other artwork creation you choose and is just $17.95!  (If you need more inspiration, I made a little mini album - click HERE to check it out.  I also made a fun layout - click HERE to view it.  Be sure to check out the card workshop I am offering later this month using these supplies.  All information is below and the deadline to sign up is Saturday, May 16th.) I held an event at Crafty Creations Retreat (Mansfield, TX) on Saturday, May 2nd, where quite a few fellow scrapbookers joined me for some fun in Celebration of National Scrapbook Day!  It was a great day with creativity and photos, of course!  Here is a photo of my group and a couple of other fun ones. If you would like to order any of these fabulous products, be sure to click HERE and place your order, or let me know if you have any questions.  To join in on any of my upcoming events, be sure to keep reading.  Enjoy the rest of the month!
