Special "Dotty for You" Blog Hop

Welcome to a special edition Blog Hop for the promotional paper collection called...

****Dotty for You****

Starting tomorrow...April 17th...when you purchase $35 or more in current Close To My Heart product, you will have the opportunity to purchase a special 24 sheet paper collection called Dotty for You for only $5...that's a $19.95 value!

If that wasn't a fabulous enough offer, if you host a home gathering, real or virtual, that totals $400 or more in sales, you will receive the paper pack for FREE!  That's on top of the minimum $60 in hostess rewards, as well as at least one half price item that you would earn.  Another way to earn this beautiful paper collection for free is to become a Close To My Heart consultant.  Whichever way you choose, you need to act soon.  This paper collection is only available until May 31st or while quantities last.  I have a feeling that it won't make it until the 31st, so sooner may be better than later. ;)

This hop highlights this paper collection and I think you're going to love it!  It is like most blog hops and makes a circle. So, if you are starting here just continue until you make your way back and you will have made it through them all.  If you have already started and are coming from Rachel Ventura's blog, "Happy Scrappin' Squad", then you are on the right track.

Here is one of many layouts that I've created with this bright, cheery and fun collection.  I will be revealing the other pages throughout this promotional period.

My layout is based on this great sketch from Sketch Support.

The idea for the "curled" banner (which was it started as), came from this layout at Sketch  Support.

The way I cut and layered this flower was inspired by a card in the 2011 Fall/Winter CTMH Idea Book.

 Supplies used (all CTMH unless otherwise noted):

Paper: Dotty for You, Sky CS 

Stamps Used: Card Word Puzzle, A Typeface, Hit the Spot (retired)
Inks: Grey Flannel, Grey Wool, Smoothie, Sweet Leaf, VersaMark

Embellishments: Lagoon Mini-medley (retired), Dimensional Elements Alphabet (E, G, O, R, S, U), White Daisy Embossing Powder, Prisma Glitter, Silver Glitz Glitter Gel

Other: VersaMat, Craft Knife, Finishing Files, Heat Tool, Craft Tray, Sponge, Micro-tip Scissors, Paper Trimmer, ATG Adhesive (Scotch)

Here's a look at the entire paper collection
(The back of each of these sheets has a polka dot pattern in the following coordinating colors: Smoothie, Sunset, Sweet Leaf, Grey Wool, and Creme Brulee)

If you love what you've seen so far along this special Blog Hop, and you want your own "Dotty for You" paper collection for as low as $5 or even for free, be sure to contact your Close To My Heart Independent Consultant.  If you don't already have a consultant, I'd love to be yours.  You can find details on the "Promotions" tab at the top of my blog, or by clicking on the "Dotty for You" picture in the right column of my blog page.  You can also go straight to my website and start shopping to earn your paper collection for free, so you can start creating with this gorgeous paper pack!  Of course, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

If you have time, take a moment or two to check out the rest of my blog.  If you enjoy your visit, then please consider "Following Me", signing up to receive blog updates, and/or leaving a comment (we all love comments...the nice ones anyway), then be sure to continue along on the hop by heading over to  Jody Gustafson's blog, "Cre8n' Memories" and check out her gorgeous creation.
