This Month We’re “So Much Happy” — check out this featured collection

I’m so happy to introduce you to this month’s featured paper collection, “So Much Happy”. Everything about these brightly colored coordinating products is designed to bring a smile to your face. Here’s a few projects showcasing So Much Happy and the March Stamp of the Month, This Happened.

This collection includes a cheerful pack of patterned paper, coordinating cardstock, Complements (mixed media accents), washi tape and puffy stickers. Mix and match any of these products to create projects that bring sunshine even on the cloudiest of days.

Here’s a few more projects for inspiration! (Email me if you’d like the recipes for any of them.)

Here in Missouri, we’ve had a long, cold winter and these projects are like a fresh breath of spring. I just noticed last night that my daffodils blades are a few inches tall so I know that it won’t be long until I can see these same colors outside my window. But until then, I’ll have these bright papers to cheer me up. 

Have a “so much happy” day,

Rebecca

Jack: Perfect for your “Little Man” and your “Big Man” as well!

Much of the Close To My Heart marketing for theJack paper collection centers around the theme of “Little Man”. Although these words appear on the stickers and pocket cards, the outdoor prints of this paper is really not childish and is totally appropriate for your “Big Man” as well.

The layout above from the Close To My Heart Art Studio really shows off the beautiful prints in these papers. You’ll find bold plaids, wood grains, tree growth rings and a stitched design. There is also this fun bearded man print! Isn’t that awesome!
