Way Easy, Way Fast!!!

These cute pages were made by Kim Gilmore using some Christmas base pages, which were the pre-curser to our Level 1 Kits. We carry them in all the different paper kit designs. They are so simple to use. Each one includes 4 ready-made layouts, 2 extra coordinating cardstocks, 2 extra matching design sheets, and 2 sheets of matching stickease.

Using these ready made layouts are so simple. Just crop your pictures and stick them down; it can't be easier! Kim used some retired base pages that were along the same lines, but were packaged according to color instead of a design set. They didn't include extra matching paper, cardstocks, or stickease, but were so popular that the company started making designs just like them using the different paper pack. I'm SO glad they did!

In fact, almost 6 years ago, when I started with Close to My Heart, I made up a BIG portion of my daughter's scrapbook using these base pages and the Level 1 kits. I created 112 pages in just 9 days - not 216 hours, but 9 actual calendar days when I had to grocery shop, teach my kids, do laundry, and everything else in a normal routine.

When Close to My Heart says that it makes scrapbooking faster and easier, they aren't kidding!!!

By the way, many of the Level 1 kits are on sale at my website, marji.myctmh.com. Have you checked them out?

Boom-di-ada Layout



Linda made this layout using the Boom-di-ada Level 1 Kit. The level 1 kits are available for ALL of the Close to My Heart "My Reflections" design themes. The beauty of these kits is that the pages are already laid out and ready for photos! When I used the Level 1 kits a few years ago, I created 112 pages in only 9 days. They make things so simple and fast! Each kit includes 4 pre-made pages, 2 extra card stocks, 2 extra background and texture (B&T) design pages, and 2 sheets of Stickease.

It's sort of hard to see how these pages started out, but you can see them at this link. Linda gave the left hand one a quarter turn from what you see at the link, but other than that, it's easy to see the additions she made to the pages.
