Today Jayma will teach you how to balance your pictures with lots of embellishments. Sometime we create a page and love the photo and everything we have done, but still, it looks unfinished. Maybe the colors are not right or maybe we don't have enough balance in the layout. So have a look at what Jayma created and enjoy her video from the "Love My Stash" challenge.

Tips & Tricks - Part 8 Photos and Extra Photo Storage
Have you ever found yourself in the predicament of having too many photos you wanted to add to a page and not enough room left? I am pretty sure we all have been at that point at one time in our craft lives. So what can you do? Add an extra layout or two? Well that is a possibility, but often we have not enough extra pictures for another layout. Here is a wonderful solution that not only keeps your page uncluttered but it also adds more pictures and interactions to it.
Watch the video to see how Close to My Heart’s “FlipFlaps” and “Pocket Plus” can make this happen. Plus a little extra bonus storage on top ;-)
You can find all extra storage possibilities as well as page and pocket protectors in the Close To My Heart Core Idea Book on page 92 -95 and Albums on page 88-91.

Daisy Meadow & Thank You - Card Sets
Here we are in May and this is a little reflection on the "Daisy Meadows" card making kit (G1226) which you can check on my website to see if a few are still left ;-)
The first 4 cards here are made from this kit and this little gate die is just to cute, don't you think. The instructions are included in the kit but I changed them up just a bit and made them so there are either horizontal or vertical.... yep, you can do this and it still works perfectly.
The cards below are made from Stamp of the Month(SOTM) Jan and Feb, plus I used "Home Sweet Home" (Z3755) which is the one with the house die.
Home sweet home can be found HERE.
January SOTM : words like "You", "Thanks"....
February SOTM: all sorts of different border stamps which I used in the "Thank You" as the background.

“Did you know” Stamp of the Month for May and Circle Dies
Good morning everyone, I have a quick “Did you know” to share...
Have you seen the “Stamp Of The Month” (SOTM) for may from Close to My Heart yet? I love these flowers and who can’t use more flowers right? Black &White or use your coloring tools to give them life.
But did you know that the beautiful circle flower arrangement fit perfectly into the 3” circle die we have new in the book? The circle die set is new and comes with dies in sizes 1”, 1 1/2”, 2”, 2 1/2” and 3” (Z3943) ... and circle are used in a lot of the new artwork on cards or pages...just saying 😉
Oh and all you VIP’s remember you get this set for FREE this month while the rest of us can get it for just $5 with a qualifying order.
Have a nice day and get crafty...
