Sparkle & Shine Level 2 Artwork

Hurray for the Holidays! Can you believe they are finally here? This is the greatest time of year for families, for feasts, and for good ol' fashioned memory making. I hope the ones you make this year are some of the best of your life, because the time to be happy is NOW!

To help you in documenting your memories of this festive season, I've released a helper better than any elf: the Holidays from the Heart Gift Guide! I hope you've already seen, touched, or heard of this wonderful new Guide, because it's full of fun seasonal products and stunning artwork, which will delight you even from your first glance of the front cover.

You know by now that I love to include Level 2 artwork in all the Idea Books and Guides from Close To My Heart. Sometimes they find a place in the printed version, but more frequently they're housed here on my blog. True to form, I'm including some great Level 2 layouts here on the blog for you. May your holidays be merry and bright!

Level 2 Artwork Extravaganza

It’s August, and time to dive in to another new Idea Book! I love the thrill of releasing fantastic products and beautiful artwork to the world. The amazing artists in the Close To My Heart studio put their hearts into their creations, as I’m sure you’ve noticed from the stunning pieces you see in every Idea Book. Because of limited space there, we can include just a few Level 2 layouts—those that use strictly our My Stickease®/Complements line and coordinating accessories, no stamping allowed.

I know how it is to be busy, to not have a lot of time to pull out all my stamps and inks to put together even a page. That’s the reason I love a good Level 2 project! I know you do too, and so I’m sharing more inspiration here today. What you see in the fantastic photos below are more great Level 2 pieces of art from the studio not featured in the Idea Book. You’ll notice an occasional piece of twine or strip of glitter paper mixed in with the Complements, which add some simple flair to the project.

I hope you’ll use these fun ideas in your own scrapbooking endeavors. Bookmark this post, refer to it often, and share with all your scrapbooking friends!
