"Stella" Card Project

The amount of crafting supplies provided in the "Close To My Heart" Consultant Kit is astounding.  Since Mother's Day is JUST around the corner (EEKS!), I looked through the TONS of crafting supplies I received in my kit and was thrilled to discover a step-by-step project tailor made for this most wonderful of holidays.  These five cards are in the "Stella" Scrapbooking Workshop as a bonus project, available to consultants.  Without further ado, here are the pictures of my final project cards, which are just perfect for the mothers in my family, with a couple of cards remaining for some other special occasions.

"Top Band"
"New Pattern"

"Top It Off"

"Simply Said"


"Lower Layers"

For those of you who are more experienced at blogging, mea culpa - next time I will remember to take pictures as I go through the assembly process.  Well, maybe.  Believe me, if I can put these things together from "scratch" following the directions, anyone can do it!



Happy crafting!  And Happy Mother's Day!

"Close To My Heart" Adventure

True to my eclectic nature, I have started a new adventure.  While I do not do much blogging (as my last post observed, I am usually "doing" not "writing"), I wanted to take a minute to talk about "Close To My Heart", a company known for quality scrapbooking and stamping products.  Between my Cricut products and what I have the opportunity to demonstrate with Close To My Heart, I will be able to create just about any scrapbook, card or any other creative project I can imagine!  Please take a few minutes to browse through my Close To My Heart website.  If you are as excited as I am about their products, you may order directly from this site.  If you decide to become a consultant (there are some fabulous reasons to do so!), the link to that page is here.

This is a picture of what is contained in the basic consultant kit:

There are 3 add-on kits, including a digital kit, for folks who enjoy creating layouts with their photos online.  This company has such a wide variety of crafting products, there truly is something for everyone!  I hope you have enjoyed this very brief introduction and will take the time to look at the website and purchase some of the products.  Please contact me for more information or to set up a local crafting get together.  Happy designing!
