Totally in love with "Close To My Heart"

I mentioned a while ago that I have drank the kool-aid of my sister's scrapbooking cult. The cult club is Close To My Heart.

My absolute favorite thing about this brand of scrapbooking stuff is their idea books. They lay out the pages like blueprints, with perfectly clear step-by-step instructions—which is exactly what I need, because I used to just get my scrapbook stuff out and then sit there and stare at it for an hour and maybe eventually make a crappy-looking page. So, the layouts in the books give you the building blocks, but then there is still plenty of room to be as creative as you want.

I bought the Cherish book last fall, and this is the first spread I made based on a layout in the book. (I used Cherish layout "A New Perspective" found on pages 58-59.)

This layout is one from my scrapbook of my nephew. This particular spread is of his first photos with his four older sisters when he was just a few days old.
