Holy Cow...

...I'm a Close to My Heart independant consultant!

I finally took the plunge into something new. Something pretty far out of my comfort zone.  For those of you who don't know me, I can be kind of shy around new people...but I'm really excited about CTMH and want to share their products with everyone I know! :)

Here are a couple reasons why I love CTMH:

1. Price Point: I love the process of card-making. I get to be creative and sometimes it is hard work, but it is rewarding work. But, I absolutely love the process of shopping for supplies too. With CTMH, you get fantastic stamps and accessories for a great price. No stamp set in the catalogue is more expensive than $17.95... and that's a HUGE selling point for me.

2. Quality: Not too long ago, I could be heard saying, "I HATE CLEAR STAMPS!" And I did. Then I saw this stamp set (http://tlchetwynd.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=6609&CatalogID=1834). I spent a lot of time trying to decide whether I would buy it. Because I hated clear stamps. I could never get a crisp, clear image from them. But I decided to bite the bullet, and purchased the set. I LOVED IT! Once I "seasoned" the stamps, I had no issues with getting a clear image. I don't know what they do differently with My Acrylix stamps, but they are clearly doing it right!

I'm just really excited to have the opportunity to share what I love doing. It will take hard work to build a customer base, but I'm ready for the challenge! :)

Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card! I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here ). I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect: For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :) Supplies : Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU! Crumb Cake Embellishments: Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder, CTMH Gold Bling Gems

You Did It!

It has been awhile since I participated in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge , so yesterday I popped on to see what the sketch was this week. I need a graduation card for my niece who is graduating from elementary school this June, so I thought I'd allow this sketch to give me inspiration! This is what I came up with:  I made it in the school colours (red and gray).  This is also (I think) the first time I've ever made a slimline card. I like how it turned out! Supplies: Cardstock: Recollections Black and Gold Foil; SU! Real Red, Smokey Slate, and Whisper White; and Gina K Wild Dandelion Stamps: CTMH You Did It, Just a Little Something, and Time to Celebrate Dies: SU! Stitched Circles and unbranded slimline scalloped rectangle

Lucky Stars Paper: CTMH Year>>Noted paper pack Etc: Flowers (I have no idea!), Michaels Adhesive Crackle Dots (Island Time) Thanks for looking!! :) ----------------------------------------------------------- Second thoughts (on Wednesday!)... I reworked the card a bit. Added a bigger circle and moved the flower down. I think they both look good. Just playing around with the design a little more.
