I always LOOOOOVE getting the new catalogs from Close to my Heart. Once again the new catalog is full of beautiful papers and wonderful stamp sets.  It is available both on-line and in print on September 1.

This layout is created from Mistletoe paper, Snowy Days stamp set and a pattern from Jeanette Lynton's newest how-to book "Magic." 

From here it is onto Nancy's blog at:

New Art and Soul Episode - Eclectic Elegance

Be sure to tun into the latest CTMH episode for FREE ideas and instructions.  This episode gives some good design tips for working with embellishments and instructions to create darling ribbon rosettes.

I have been using the Passages paper for my photos from Italy and am also going to make some pages for my mom's upcoming trip to Ireland - so I was excited to see another beautiful layout featuring these papers.

Here's the link to the episode: CTMH TV

I will work on sharing the pages I have created soon!
