Happy New Year to you all!  I hope you enjoyed the holidays as much as I did!  I had a wonderful time with my family and I'm so looking forward to 2013 and spending time with all of you!  Close To My Heart continues to be an amazing adventure for me.  I spent time this holiday season making Christmas cards as well as cards for other occasions.  This provided me the opportunity to become more familiar with the Close To My Heart products.  I'm most excited about my new Cricut machine, yahoo!  I'll be ordering the Close To My Heart Cricut Artiste Collection (page 15 of the current Idea book) to get me started on some new projects!  I'll keep you posted on how it goes!

I met many new friends at the Festival of Trees who have signed up for my monthly newsletter - a big shout out to my new friends!!

I promise to be more attentive to my blog in 2013 - there has been so much to learn as I start up with CTMH but I'm well on my way and excited to bring all these wonderful ideas and creativity your way! And so lets get started....

Wow, I can't believe it's December already!  I had my second Home Gathering in November and it was a success.  It was so nice to see my friends and family getting familiar with CTMH products and having a fun time!

I've been busy preparing for our city's Festival of Trees weekend where I will be displaying my CTMH products and sharing the cards and holiday tags I've been making.

The Festival of Trees is located in Marlboro, MA at the Royal Plaza Trade Center on December 7th, 8th and 9th.  Click here for all the details http://www.historicmarlborough.org/!

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Holiday season!  Check out the December Stamp of the Month, it's really cute!

I'm so excited to share with everyone that I had my first home gathering!!  It was so much fun, we shared ideas and fell in love with so many of the CTMH projects.  After becoming familar with the products in the great Idea Book, we got comfortable and spent time with the stamps themselves, creating cards and playing with the different stamps and ink colors.  There are so many things you can do with such great stamps, inks and the beautiful papers - CTMH products open up a new world of paper crafting. 

Please join me for my second home gathering on Sunday, November 4th at 2pm.  Reach out to me for more information and check out these pictures!!  I hope you can join me on November 4th!

 

 

I've been having a blast getting to know my CTMH products! I would like to share with you today, my experience with Studio J. I have to honestly say, I never thought I would be one to use an online design software for scrapbooking but keeping an open mind, I gave it a shot. Studio J was easy to use, it gave me lots of options and I felt I was being just as creative as if I had all my supplies sitting in front of me. Take a look at my pages!
