National Scrapbooking Day Celebration!

    May is a special month for both scrapbookers & cardmakers!  Close To My Heart is offering a 2-day online crafting extravaganza on May 5 & 6.  There will be a virtual crop, giveaways, etc.  Log into Facebook@CloseToMyHeartOfficial to participate.

    To shop for special product offerings for this event, click on my shopping link on the right side of your screen.  There are both scrapbooking and cardmaking kits.  I especially loved the Strawberry Mice Cardmaking Workshop Kit CC32325.  The kit includes the exclusive stamp set, cardstock to make the cards, red acrylic hearts, 15 cards/envelopes, and a worksheet guide for step-by-step cutting and assembly of the cards.

    I loved working with this Strawberry Mice stamp set and made more cards with other papers I had in my stash!  I'll be teaching a couple of them in my upcoming card classes.
