stamped with tlc

Yesterday at work (during lunch hour), we had a card-making class. Myself and two of my co-workers each designed a card; I designed a birthday card, and there was a Valentine's Day card and a sympathy card. There were 9 people signed up for the class. We decided to do the cards in stations, 3 people to a station. Once everyone was done making the card at that station, they moved onto the next. It was kind of like speed dating...except in a card-making class! It worked really well, because we didn't have a huge line of people waiting to use one stamp or ink colour. We did the 3 cards in less than an hour. The "students" were thrilled with their cards. We had quite a few ladies who had never made cards before and they were so surprised that they could make cards that looked as good as the samples!  Card-making is SO EASY :) As well, we had a lot of interest afterwards, because the "students" went back to their floors and shared the cards that they had made...

...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 whet...

(The character Sally Reardon from the tv series, "Felicity.")   Happy New Year! Posting a picture of one of my fave Christmas gifts...   My dad made this stand for my stampin' stuff! It has 2 drawers and 2 shelves (as you can see). Both are wide and deep enough for 12 x 12 paper, so that's super awesome! Dad made another one for my sister, only hers has 3 drawers and 1 shelf.  We were very excited to what he came up with. My sister and I did a basic design of what we wanted, and Dad did the rest. I think it looks fantastic and I'm so excited to use it. I'll post a pic when it's all full of goodies too! My bbe (best boyfriend ever) got me my camera!! He got the right one, and everything (Nikon Coolpix L810 in RED!)  I haven't had a camera in 2 years, since my nephew decided to throw my camera in my sister's pool (good thing he is cute!). I've been too cheap to get another one.  But the bbe done good! ;) I had a fantastic Christmas...
