What a perfect pair! Close to my Heart and Cricut!

Beginning August 1, you can order the brand new "Art Philosophy" Cricut cartridge which is exclusive to Close To My Heart. Many of the images coordinate perfectly with dozens of our terrific stamp sets. There are over 700 images on this cartridge and it comes with 3 stamp sets and three 9" x 12" chipboard sheets with shapes that also coordinate. 

I have been playing with this cartridge and LOVE it!!  You can make so many things, it is just amazing!  So far I have made flowers, cards, tags, borders and a few other little things.  The possibilities are endless!

You can start ordering from the new Idea Book on August 1st, please let me know if you need a catalog.  I can bring one by if you are ordering a kit of the July's Workshop, I will bring one to you if you are local or I can ship one to you for only the shipping cost.

July's "Do it on your own" Workshop

Well we are getting ready for our 4th move of the summer!  I really want to keep my workshops going so I am going to do another "on your own" workshop this month.
The cost is $5 for a 2 page layout and 2 cards.  The paper is all pre cut and all of the embellishments are included.  The workshop is free if you place an order during the month of July.  I need to know by the end of the month if you want to order a kit.  There will be a shipping fee if you need it mailed to you, but I will include a free NEW IDEA BOOK!! 

Thanks for looking and I hope to hear from you soon!

ABC- Anything But a Card Heart 2 Heart Challenge

I have been so busy with moving and the end of the school year craziness that I have barely had time to scrap or create!  But I did make this little dry erase board for my sons reading teacher( shhhh, if you work at the school and know her:)
These are super easy and fun to make!  Just take a picture frame with glass in it, take out the fake family picture and decorate to your hearts desire!  Put it all back together and you have a cute, inexpesive and fun gift:)
This one was made with Close to my Heart Fanfare paper, and the Pennant alphabet stamp.  The flowers were made with Close to my Hearts scallop punch.  Thanks for looking!

Consultant kit is 1/2 price and you get a free National Scrapbooking kit for free!!

If you have ever even thought of being a Close to my Heart consultant, May is the month for you!!


Even if you have just thought about it for the wonderful discount that you would get, May is the month!

I have made so many wonderful friendships and connections while being a Close to my heart Consultant. I love this company and am so blessed to have been introduced to them. I get to spend time with wonderful friends at my workshops and classes and wonderful consultants at our monthly meetings. I even get to make some extra spending money so I can support my crafty habit, and gives me a great creative outlet!

Well, I could go on and on about how much I love my Close to my Heart business, but I am sure you want to hear the details! So here they are:

The New Consultant kit is usually priced at $129 (still a GREAT price for over $300 worth of stuff), but during MAY ONLY it is half price, AND you get a FREE NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING KIT along with it. So, you get over $300 worth of Close to my Heart products and items for only $65!

For the value of the one-year $99 Studio J membership, it's worth it alone. But, when you consider all of the other things you get in the kit, it is astounding that Close To My Heart is offering this AWESOMER than AWESOME sign-up special.

Recipe Box Workshop

I have so many ideas for workshops that I want to do but I am running out of time before we move and really want to do this one! It is a recipe box, picture box or anything you would like to use it for box:)


The box is 6 3/8 X 4 3/4 X 3 3/4 inches. It fits 4 X 6 inch recipe cards and photos.

The cost is $12.00 and includes the box, paper, adhesive, stamps and embellishments. I have many different styles of paper and colors to chose from.

The workshop will be held on Wed. the 13th at 10:00 am. Your kiddo’s are welcome and I will try to have some little snacks for them. I only have 7 boxes on hand, so I will be limited to 7 people. I will hold a spot for the first 7 people who RSVP. Please RSVP only if you are sure that you can attend since I am limited on the number of boxes that I have. If you can not attend after reserving your spot, I will still need to charge you for the kit and you can complete it on your own.

Please contact me if you would like to order the kit to complete on your own, as I can order more boxes.

Thanks and look forward to seeing you then:)
