It is August!!

Yeah!  I am getting ready for a busy and creative month with Close to my Heart!  August 1st is the release of the brand new Idea Book with tons of creative ideas for cardmakers, scrapbook lovers AND anyone who loves 3-D designs!


Here is the cover of the book - check out the beautiful layout created with the Cricut Artbooking cartridge - it is gorgeous!!

The background overlay is from pg. 82 of the Cricut Artbooking cartridge and then small pieces of cardstock are inserted behind the design - amazing but tedious...

These beautiful designs are from the Stamp of the Month - S1308  A Chocolate Affair. The special for this month is if you spend $50.00 in product, then you will receive this stamp set for FREE!!  I am so excited because this is one of the stamp sets that I think everyone will fall in love with!
