Febuary's Hearts of the West Blog Hop featuring Charlotte




Welcome to the Hearts of the West team blog hop!


If this is your first time joining us you will love it. If you have been here before welcome back.  It features Close to my Heart Consultants from all over Canada showing you their projects. The Hearts of the West team was founded by Nancy Klein.

This months challenge is using the Charlotte Paper Pack, brought to you from the Seasonal Expression 1.

Charlotte Workshop Your Way


If you came from Donna's Blog then you're in the right place, this is a go around blog hop so you can start anywhere! Just in case, the full list will be at the bottom. So, as always, grab your coffee, tea, water, relax, and hop around the team with us.

I would like to share with you a few cards I made using the Charlotte Workshop Your Way Kit. With the addition of White Daisy card bases & envelopes, 1 piece of watercolor paper, watercolor paints, archival black ink, Springtime Wishes stamp set and the Springtime Wishes Thin Cuts.  The workshop has 3 designs and I took the 3 designs and changed them up a little to create 9 different cards.  I have a workshop to make these cards on Feb 22 at 7 pm -9 pm if you are interested in joining us.





  The workshop can also make 3 - 2 page layouts and 1 - 2 page PML layout.  If you would like to join me to make the layouts on Feb 25th at 6:30pm - 9 pm let me know by Feb 11th.  I would love to have you join me.


The February Stamp of the Month is called Balloon Animals.  In February with a $50 qualifying purchase you can purchase it for $6.  It can also be purchased for $21.25 for the month of February only.

CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop

 Hello and Welcome to our CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop

This week our featured product is the Picture My Life Overlays
Picture My Life Black Overlay

Picture My Life Gold & Silver Overlay

Picture My Life White Overlay


I am featuring the Gold & Silver  Overlays.

If you have just joined us you can start here and continue on, as this is a circular hop or if you get lost along the way you can start at the beginning with Scrapbooking with Kirsten Jade  as she has the complete list.  If you came here from Corrina's Crafts you are in the right place.

Now on to my project. 

I have a layout using the La Vie En Rose paper pack.  There are many different ways you can use the overlays.  For this layout I used 2 overlays and layered them to make my title.

 This is one of the pictures from my wedding, last month we celebrated our 10th anniversary.  My husband's comment to me last night as I finished this layout was thanks for the great anniversary gift.  I am finally getting some of our wedding pictures scrapbooked.  I wanted to make sure I had the perfect paper & embellishments for the pictures.

I have layered 2 of the overlays on top of each other.  One had the saying and the other had the strips and heart.
The overlays don't have to be used on top of photos as you can see they can become your title or could be used on a card.





Thank you for checking out my project.  If you would like to purchase our featured product or any additional supplies you can buy them here.
