Help Haiti

Close to My Heart is excited to announce February Constant Campaign, Hearts for Haiti—where customers can get a great deal while doing great good for those affected by the devastation in Haiti.

From February 1-28, 2010, our 12” x 12” textured cardstock combo packs are buy one, get one FREE—and with every offer purchased, Close To My Heart will donate $2 US to Operation Smile’s Haiti relief efforts.

Operation Smile is always a fantastic charitable partner—offering free facial reconstruction surgeries to needy children throughout the world. They’ve currently marshaled their medical teams and resources to provide emergency relief in Haiti, and the donations given as part of Hearts for Haiti will be used exclusively for Operation Smile’s efforts in Haiti. For more information on their on-the-ground response, you can visit www.operationsmile.org/haiti.

Felicity Layout

Just thought I would post a layout I finished using the felicity paper and stamp. I used sandpaper for the "Beach" letters, although you may not see that detail from the picture. I also used colonial white edge anchors to secure the ribbon in between the 2 pics on the right. I can't wait to do more with this paper pack. Hopefully I will be able to play again soon.
You can win your own felicity paper pack by clicking on the National scrapbooking tag I have on the sidebar. Felicity is available till January 31st.
