About a month ago, I shared the fabulous stamp set, Let’s Stay Home, that Close To My Heart designed specifically for what our world is going through right now. Well, a few weeks after, through one of their blog posts, they shared a couple of SVGs that coordinated nicely with this set and in case you missed it, I wanted to share it with you today.

We know that for many, crafting is a social activity. During these days where we’re all more limited in our ability to get together, you may be discovering new ways of connecting with others. As you master the art of group video chats, one thing that could help you feel even more connected with your crafting buddies is working on the same projects as each other—and our scrapbooking and cardmaking workshop kits are the ideal candidates!
This week’s Make It Monday features another FREE scrapbook layout pattern. This Sweet Symphony Pattern is from our now retired Imagine Layout Pattern Book. This wonderful design is perfect for getting a lot of photos on your pages.

Okay, exciting news for you today. If the news of Close To My Heart hosting an all-day event for National Scrapbooking Day was exciting for you, you’re going to be ecstatic for this next piece of news. CTMH is going to host a 2-day (yep, 2 days!) virtual scrapbooking retreat where you’ll complete an entire album on May 15 & 16 all as part of their celebration of National Scrapbooking Month!
Two days ago I shared Close To My Heart’s announcement that they were going to host an all-day FREE Virtual Craft Day to celebrate National Scrapbooking Day. Since 1994, National Scrapbooking Day has always been the first Saturday in May–making it May 2nd this year. For many, going to a traditional all-day crop or other crafting event is out of the question. From basic social distancing to Shelter-in-Place Orders this just isn’t possible.
Life can change quickly, as evidenced by the events of the last couple of weeks! Moments like this, where routines are disrupted and the pace of life changes, tend to bring life into greater focus and help us see the things that are truly important.
Today I have a versatile scrapbook pattern to share with you! This particular design would make a great introductory layout for your “Let’s Stay Home” story.
If you are a scrapbooker, you are no doubt taking photos, journaling how your life is changing day-to-day and creating layouts with both of these to document this time in history. Do you have albums to put these in? If not, now is a great time to grab an album or two! Close To My Heart just announced that they will be doing a sale on their Everyday Life Albums now through Tuesday. You’ll save 20%!
Things are changing rapidly these days. The world we once knew is definitely not the same. From day to day, things are changing so much. Friday my kids’ school was shut down for 3 weeks (and likely longer) and now today they announced starting at midnight we’re ordered to shelter in place, only leaving our homes for essentials like food or medical needs.
