Operation Smile

Operation Smile is a wonderful organization that brings smiles to children all over the world with facial deformities that prevent them from the simplest of tasks like eating and drinking properly. Close To My Heart has many ways you can contribute so children can receive free surgeries. The stamp set to the right is this year's OS set and CTMH will donate $7 for surgeries for every set purchased. We also have red and heather shirts (see below) to proudly display your support for Operation Smile and CTMH will donate $10. Lastly, you can make a general donation to OS or take advantage of our Round Up program to round up your order to the nearest dollar. I hope you can take advantage of one or more ways to donate to this worthy cause.




Charlotte Cards


The Charlotte Workshop Your Way includes instructions to make the additional project, three cards, using the Springtime Wishes Stamp Set and Thin Cuts.  Create beautiful cards with watercolor paints and water color paper.
The WYW: Charlotte also includes the Treasured Puffies.  I love Puffies!  These are so easy to use, self adhesive, gold foil assorted shapes and sizes.  They work perfect for cards and layouts, including centers for flowers like these cards.
 
Check out the new stamp set, My Mother, and combine it with the Charlotte Paper Pack to create a beautiful Mother's Day card.

Balloon Animals Layout


This month's SOTM is a great stamp set for all things birthday, cards, layouts, party treats.  Who else thinks of balloons for birthdays?  The clowns are sometimes scary, but I love the balloon animals they make.  That weird squeaky noise as they blow up and manipulate the balloons into crazy masterpieces.   Use this stamp set to create your own zoo of balloon animals.

Charlotte Layouts


The new Charlotte Workshops Your Way help you create lovely scrapbook layouts and cards with the new Charlotte collection.  Using new layout designs created by Jeanette Lynton, these fun layouts use the Charlotte Complements, Paper Pack, Black and Gold Ribbon, and Treasured Puffies.

The new Charlotte Paper Pack includes twelve 12X12" B&T Duos, including one that can be cut up to be used in Picture My Life or on traditional scrapbook layouts as titles and journaling boxes or decorations on the pages.  The patterned paper comes with several subtle patterns and monochrome colors as well as colorful patterns to help you make gorgeous pages.


The Charlotte Complements are two 6X6 coordinating stickers sheets and gold foil chipboard with sayings like Celebrate, Lovely day, and Today is Your Day.


Thin Cuts


New in the Seasonal Expressions is our new line of Thin Cuts to coordinate with some of our stamp sets. These thin metal cutting dies are easy to store. They cut shapes perfectly using any die cutting machine, like the Cuttlebug, Big Shot, or Spellbinders.  Check out all three designs today!

Charlotte

 
Charlotte is a new My Reflections collection with subtle tones for beautiful cards and layouts.
