Card Class

January Card Workshop!

Start the new year off with a set of 6 birthday cards (2 each of these 3 designs). Come to this workshop and not only will you have a stash of cards ready but you will learn how to make the paper flower on the right card, use the edge distressor, and make your products sparkle with our stardust glitz glitter glue. I'm offering this workshop at a special after the holiday price. Make all 6 cards for only $5! You can't get much better than that! The date has changed to Friday night, January 7th at 7:00 p.m. RSVP by Thursday, December 30th!

Look what I got

I attended a Christmas party today with my fellow Close To My Heart consultants. In addition to making a fabulous item (you'll see it here soon) we had a white elephant gift exchange. There were some fantastic items. After all the stealing (that's how the game is played) this is what I ended up with...and I couldn't be happier. This was made by my upline Shari Froemming. It is a set of 8 cards. Look what a great gift this could be. Remember this next time you need a gift for a holiday, birthday or just because. This set uses the Magnifique paper pack. The colors are off a little because the light isn't great but you get the idea.

Sneak Peak at Wings

One of the new paper packs available in January is called Wings! Here are some cards I made today with this paper pack. The colors really grew on me. I used a variety of stamps, including the January Stamp of the Month and a new set available in January. This may become a workshop in the future.

The best 3.95 product we have!

Close To My Heart actually has a lot of inexpensive items but his is one of my favorites. I was in a jam last night. I was working on a swap and didn't have the pacifica marker I needed. No worries. I grabbed my blending pen and my pacifica ink pad and I was set. Just squeeze the lid into the ink while it's closed, open the ink pad, dip the blending pen into the bit of ink on the lid. Works great. Then just wipe the blending pen on a piece of paper until clear and you can do it again with another color. I have had mine for almost 2 years and it's still great. At 3.95 it can't be beat! Here's a link to see what it looks like.

Magnifique part 2

Here are two more layouts I made with this paper pack to go with my post from long ago. Things have been so busy I haven't been able to post here for some time. I'm trying to catch up this morning. These actually came from the level 1 kit. You shouldn't forget about those. A great way to make 4-6 pages quick and easy!

Pictures with Santa

I have accumulated many pictures with Santa. From when they were babies to times when they felt they were definitely too old to have their picture taken with him. I needed a fun way to show these pictures during the Christmas season. Last year I used Close to My Heart's Jingle paper and the all sorts mini album (only 5.95!) to create this. These are only a few of the pictures but you get the idea.

You could do this for Halloween costumes, first day of school etc. etc. What a great way to highlight those important pictures.
