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…

Two of my favorite new products in the new CTMH catalog are the watercolor paints and the new Picture My Life Overlay Cards. I used them both to create this fun easel card. I started with a 4″ x 6″ piece of watercolor paper and painted a rainbow of colors at an angle. I let…

Close to my Heart’s Base & Bling Collection along with the Happy Times paper and stamp set are a perfect match for Mother’s Day gifts. I stamped one of our Base & Bling Necklace Cards with the sweet flowers from the Happy Times stamp set and then used it to hold a Base & Bling necklace with photos of my cute kiddos for my Mother-in-Law. To personalize it…
I created these cards for two of my sweet friends. One is a thank you card for a friend who was kind enough to spend some time helping me with my business and the other is a congratulations card for a good friend/team member who just promoted. To create the cards, I embossed the floral…
Here’s a little sneak peek of a couple of new products from the upcoming CTMH 2010 Spring Idea Book. I made this simple card using a new paper packet called Caboodle. You will be seeing more projects using this paper in the next couple of days. (It was the one I was assigned in my…
Hooray! May is here! May is my favorite month, not only because it is my birthday month, but also because it is National Scrapbooking Month! It’s the perfect time to celebrate the reasons why we scrapbook. Preserving our memories is so important and I am thankful that Close to my Heart has made it faster,…
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!
