Sneak Peek: Jump off the Page

Are all  you scrapbook pages inside an album on a shelf? You put so much love into your craft, why not take it outside the album? How about jumping off the page and onto a wall, or a table top?

You can do just that with three great products from Close To My Heart.

The Workshops on the go Canvas Art Kit comes with everything you need to create a stunning 12" x 12" canvas display. The kit comes with Dimensional Elements in two different colour schemes (red and blue) to create a look that is uniquely yours. It also includes an exclusive C-size stamp set that you'll use over and over again. The canvas is pre-printed with a trendy chevron pattern in a neutral colour and the embellishments, Baker's Twine, Sparkles and Sparkles Flourish, enable you to add those special details to make your photo pop!

This kit is great as a project to make on your own or as part of a Home Gathering.

Returning with the Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Book is the Display Tray. This lovely tray with hinges for hanging is a unique way to display a 12" x 12" scrapbook page--just cut the page into 4" x 3" blocks and adhere inside the tray. You can also create mini-pages/cards/tags for each section of the tray to create a beautiful collage. Whether you display it sitting on a shelf or hanging on a wall, the Display Tray makes an excellent, personalized decor piece.

New in the Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Book is the Hinged Display Tray. This smaller tray measures 5" x 7" and can be displayed open or closed, standing up or laying flat. It has seven divided sections to hold photos, paper, tags and ephemera.
