June and July

I have finished some card samples for June and July!!  I have a 4 card class, the cost is $25, and the dates have changed to June 24 and July 1. Both classes will be the same and start at 6:30pm.  We should be able to finish up at 8:30pm.  The class uses all Close to My Heart paper and stamps!  They're super cute!  We will be using simple techniques as well as some fun work with acetate and what I like to call "fussy cutting"!  "Fussy cutting" is not as hard as it sounds, and it adds a really fun, inexpensive way to add something to all your paper crafting projects!  There are only 6 spaces available for each class, so send me an email as soon as you can to sign up! (Cash or Checks are excepted)

I am also running a couple specials right now. The first is an absolutely free gift with purchase!!!  Any purchase, for any amount and you will get your own set of My Creations A-door-ables for FREE!!!!!  They can be used on cards, scrapbooks, or any projects where you want to add a little something extra!  You can stamp them, paint them, cover them in paper.....they're a really fun little addition to you paper crafting project!

The second special I have is super HUGE!!!  If you buy one of the Close to My Heart workshop kits, you will get a voucher for a FREE one on one class with me!!!  That means I will help you with your kit and allow you the use of my many, many tools!!!  I have a cricut expressions, crop-a-dile, scissors, punches, paints, inks, flowers.....and more!!!!!   Call or email today!!!

Just Starting

I am just starting out with a new adventure in paper crafting.  After about 8 years of paper crafting experience...including but not limited to...scrapbooks, card making, altered arts, & invitations, I have decided to really put myself out there and help others to become just as creative!  I love to put my photo memories into something special.  I love the feeling when someone opens a gift or card and realizes you made it special...just for them.  I want others to enjoy the same feelings!  So, I have made the decision to sell Close to My Heart stamping and paper products, teach classes, and (for those who refuse to craft ;-)) make projects for other people.  I hope you enjoy my pictures, musings, and otherwise "fun stuff" that I come across on a day to day basis!   Enjoy...and keep crafting!
