Christmas in November

Well last week I did a Christmas class with a friend of mine.  I had so much fun.  We each did 5 cards and had lunch in the middle.  Here are my cards.  I'll come back later to post some directions in case you want to make them.  Right now I'm suppose to be packing to attend a Copic Class in Arizona


Taught stamping off and 2nd generation stamping.  Also taught paper flower sculpturing using the new Close to My Heart Poinsettia  Stamp....sooooo cute!  Oh the Red Bird card was made using the Art Philosophy cartridge from Close to My Heart....well anytime I need a circle or scallop I use that cartridge.

Just joined Close to my Heart AGAIN

Hi everyone!  Just wanted you to know that I just joined Close to my Heart again...  Here is my website:   scrappinvall.closetomyheart.com   

You probably know that last year I was gone for 5 months from August through part of December.  My sister had been fighting the Big C word for several years and she was the primary care taker of my mom back in Illinois.  Well she got pretty weak and I traveled to Illinois to take care of mom.  Both my mom and sister passed in November...cry time!

Well anyway, during that time, I didn't even think about my crafting, scrapbooking  or card making.  Not placing regular orders with CTMH, caused me the lose of my status.  So I had to rejoin.  Not a bad thing mind you since the kit only cost $75 and you get $200 worth of product AND you get to pick $50 of stamps and ink that you want.  So that means you really only join or $25...not a bad deal if I say so myself.

See you get a medium size storage case...blocks...scissors...glue...foam tape...stamp cleaner and scrubber....stamp perks....all kinds of business supplies including catalogs....plus again don't forget about that $50 in credit that I will need to spend TODAY!  I really love Close to my Heart!

Well I better start building my business yet again from the ground up....let's party!
