My upline, Ruth Simmons, hosted an open house today to introduce some new product from Close To My Heart's Spring/Summer 2011 Idea Book. We played with papers from the new Sweetheart and Fanfare collections. She also taught us an ink spraying technique using CTMH's new spray pen utilizing Re-Inker. It was a lot of fun. Thanks Ruth for opening up your home and sharing your talent with us!

My Creations Banner

I enjoyed working on this project. The banner is Close To My Heart's My Creation Banner. The kit includes 8 white chip-board pennants along with 7 jump rings. The pennants are 7" x 6". Price of the kit is only $5.95. I decorated by pennants with papers by Basic Gray. The embellishments were cut with my Cricut along with the letters. Instead of using the metal jump rings I strung my pennants with brown ribbon. Close To My Heart's My Creations line offers a lot of fun items from mini albums, to journals, to board books, to a recipe/photo box, and much more, all to be decorated and personalized by you.
