I have been playing around with a new look for my blog and would love to get your honest feedback. What do you think? Is it to busy? Is the background distracting? If you know me at all, you know that I tend to lean more towards clean and simple. This new design is a bit of stretch for me. So, what are your thoughts? Keep it or change it?
I’ll be back later with a little artwork for ya…

In addition to the gorgeous Happy Times Promotion, there are a few more goodies that CTMH has in store for us this month… The New Seasonal Expressions Catalog is Here! All new papers, stamps, workshop kits, and more have arrived! With the release of a new mini catalog comes lots of new products and creative ideas!…
We have a few birthday parties coming up so I made a couple of cards to have on hand. These little cards, inspired by Michelle Loader, use the cute Close to my Heart Happy Endings and Happy Birthday stamp sets along with a tiny sentiment from Papertrey’s Mixed Messages set. I also used some paper…
Close to my Heart is holding its very first silent auction at Leadership this year to help raise money for Operation Smile, a charity that they have supported for years. Operation Smile is a wonderful organization. Throughout the world, Operation Smile volunteers repair childhood facial deformities while building public and private partnerships that advocate for…
Oh my goodness! Did I ever have a good time at the 2014 Close to my Heart Convention last week! I was planning to pop in and share all of the CTMH goodness with you as it happened, but I ended up being so busy that by the time I came back to my hotel…
I am in beautiful Utah right now at the CTMH Advisory Board retreat. We have had lots of productive meetings so far and LOTS of wonderful food. I had heard from past board members that when you go to the Advisory Board retreat to bring stretchy pants because CTMH feeds you well. They were right!…
With Easter coming up this Sunday, I thought I would share a gift that I made that is perfect for celebrating the Lord’s resurrection. I used Close to my Heart’s Silver Base and Bling to create a necklace that highlights my favorite bible verse—Jeremiah 29:11 which says: “For I know the plans I have for you,”…
You are too cute. I love both artful busy and elegantly simple. I think this is a nice blend. Love the pink and green. Love the touch of wimsy this theme has.
I think the more important question should be, "how do your projects look on the theme?".
I actually read all your posts in my Google Reader so I don't see the theme. Everything is against white. But I came to visit because you asked! =)
Like Princess, I usually check out blogs through Reader and don't see the actual theme. I checked yours out and it definitely is clean and simple, Not too distracting at all.
Love your artwork. Have been a faithful follower for a good long time.
I like it – not too busy at all.
Your blog looks great! Very soft and relaxing not busy and cluttered! I need to work on mine now!
okay, I'll be honest – I have you marked as a favorite place because I love your work. I'm a lurker. Every once in awhile I go through my list of favorite blogs to see what new things people have posted. I was looking at the post of your card inspired by your bedding thinking to myself, "this green background seems different – and not in a flattering way to your artwork." Honestly, that's what I thought and then when I scrolled down I saw this post about the "new blog look." So, I just thought I'd let you know what my initial reaction was. I don't mean to offend in any way. I appreciate that you share your work – and it's still gorgeous regardless of the background!
