Show Us Your Heart at H2H Challenges!

Happy Valentine's Day!  Today at Heart 2 Heart Challenges it is anything with a heart.  

I decided to feature hearts on a 9" x 9" Accordion Album that I am teaching at my February Workshop.  Here is one side of my Accordion Album.

And here is the other side of the album.

I used the Close to My Heart Magnifique Paper Pack for my album and tons of our new stamp sets.  That is one benefit to being a CTMH Consultant - I get a discount and can afford lots of new products and I can buy it even before it goes live for the customers.  Now how cool is that?  I am the Executive Manager of the Bling Team.  Please let me know if you would like more information about becoming a CTMH Independent Consultant.


Now, back to my project.  I don't want you to miss the hearts, so let me show you some close-ups of the pages.

Do you see how the flower at the top is made up of hearts?  And check out the heart on my little calendar.  That is the date that I married my sweet husband!

This is one pretty easy.  See the cute little heart on my sentiment?

Look at the bling on my peacock as it is peeking around the side of my mat!  The heart in this layout is the word, "heart", in the sentiment.

No heart in this one, but there is a whole lot of love and bling!  Don't you love the bling in my flower buttons?  I just love what CTMH had done with buttons.  When I received my new products in, I showed my customers the buttons and you would have thought that we were at Tiffany's with all the oo-ing and ah-ing.

On this layout I CASE'd myself.  I had made a card that I loved and decided that it would make a great layout.

How do you like this pennant?  It was easy to make with our Pennant Alphabet Stamp Set.  The directions for the pennant are in our Spring/Summer Idea Book.

I just had to use the pretty journaling box from Key to My Heart even though it is a retired set.  That is one thing about our stamp sets.  They remain current and useful even after they are retired.  The heart on the right was stamped using the puddle pad technique and then embossed.  The heart on the left was stamped and embossed.  The cute parenthesis is from our Irresistibles Villa.  The pattern on the parenthesis emerges when you sponge ink on it.

Here is that cute flower again from Heartfelt Flowers.  I added the leaves from that set to the flower as well.  I love the sentiment on this page.
