Heartfelt Sentiments August Paper Focus Blog Hop

Welcome to a our first blog hop for the brand new Close To My Heart Annual Inspiration Ideabook.
If you are coming from Melissa's blog then you are on the right track!  Be sure to visit all of our designers for some great inspiration this month using the Chalk It Up collection of paper and accessories.
Some of the pieces of this collection can be a bit busy, but not this piece of black paper.  It's subtle pattern is perfect for building your layout on.

I used strips of the busier paper as well as some of the zip strips on the layout.  For embellishments I chose a couple of the Compliments images and the Chalk It Up Assortment.  I'm saving the photo spots for baby pictures later this year.
Thanks for stopping by, now hop on over to Tonya's blog and see what she's created for you.  Visit my website to order your collection of the Chalk It Up line.  While you're there, check out the great Picture My Life special for August.  There's even a Chalk It Up PML collection to add to your layouts and projects
