This year, CTMH is issuing a Holiday Guide containing special products for their "Holidays from the Heart" campaign. While some of these products are Christmas themed, most of them can be used at any time!
Over 50 consultants decided to do a Blog Hop where you will be able to see TONS of artwork by just clicking your mouse and progressing to the next blog.
If you've come from Karen's Blog, you're on the right track...just keep hopping around 'till you get back around to where you started!

And...while I was making the card, there were a lot of decisions to be made so I thought I'd include you guys on my little "creative process". All it takes is a cell phone that has a camera on it and a little bit of patience.
I couldn't decide which "order" my pennants should be in so I laid them out, snapped a picture then rearranged them, snapped a picture, rearranged them again and snapped another photo...I did this as many times as it took to get the right "look". After I snapped all the photos I just thumbed trough the photos 'till the right one jumped out at me. Here are the options below...

The next "option" was all about the embellishments...here's a look

Here's a tip at how to lay these embellishments out on your project without the option being permanent 'till you decide it's the embellishment you want to use...

Here's the option I finally chose...

That's all the tips, tricks & hints I have for you EXCEPT one last MAJOR TIP: Get your hands on this Holiday Guide ASAP!!!! Some of the featured products are while supplies last and we all know what that means with CTMH...it won't last long 'cause everybody loves them some CTMH goodies!!!
