The stars and stripes patterns remind me of Fourth of July and summer. I created two cards that really brightened my day here in cloudy Northern Virginia.

Dream Pop Blog Hop

Thanks for hopping on over from Pam's Clearly Crafty Corner.

Okay, if I dreamed in these colors, I don't think I'd get much sleep.  The Dream Pop papers are bright, sunny, fresh colors with cardstock in glossy resist patterns just ready to welcome in summer. 

Recently, I offered a six person card making class at a Silent Auction benefiting my sons' school.  The fifth grader who "won" the class asked for bright cards and I knew Dream Pop fit that request, and her sunny disposition!

Remember, this exclusive pack will only be available for the month of May from Close To My Heart. With any $35 purchase of current product, you can get the Dream Pop paper for just $10. Spend $70 and you qualify for two packs! Hostesses with a qualifying gathering and new consultants will also be treated to Dream Pop!  Thanks to Kimber McGray for the inspiration for the cards.
