Yesterday, I began working on creating swap cards for convention. One of the fun things we do at convention is create cards to swap with other consultants. There’s really no “rules” per se, but consultants do like to receive cards that are made with current products and everyone is expected to try to make quality…
My Heart's Swap Group Card
My dear friend and sister Close To My Heart consultant, Tamra Pope, convinced me to join her swap group about six months ago. I hesitated, because…well, honestly…I don’t need “one more thing to do”. Maybe you can relate. However, she’s my friend and I love her work, but mostly I stink at saying no. Maybe…
Oh, how I love ribbon!
The challenge at Heart 2 Heart this week is to use ribbon. Yes. I said ribbon. Being that ribbon is in my top three of favorite items to use, only behind paper and ink, I feel like quoting Homer Simpson with a “Doh!” (I don’t watch it. Remember, I teach 14 year olds). Out of…
July's Cards, Etc. Workshop
Did you know that last month I began holding a monthly card workshop? I call it Cards, Etc. At the workshop, we create two cards and one 3D or altered item. It only costs $5 to attend and it’s free if you place a minimum $25 order. Not a bad deal, huh? The workshop…
July Scrapbooking Workshop Layouts
Here are the layouts that we will be creating at July’s Monthly Scrapbooking Workshop. As you will see, we will be using a really great masculine line of CTMH paper called Victory. I’m really loving this paper, especially the ledger and green (key?) piece. This month, both of my layouts are designed by me…
It's been awhile…
since I posted a video. Not sure why, but since I’m currently working on some upcoming workshop projects, I thought this was as good a time as any to post one. Don’t want cha’ to think I’ve disappeared. 😉 You’d think I would have more going on with my blog with school out and all,…
A Pop of Color
It’s a color challenge this week over at the Heart 2 Heart. The challenge is to use black and white, and a “pop” of any other color you choose. I’m not sure why I don’t do more black and white cards, because every time I see one, I’m never disappointed. Especially when they are combined with…

DiSTRESSED Out!
Like I mentioned in yesterday’s post, it’s a stressful time of year for me with the school year coming to a close. In fact, this is my last week and I cannot wait! I’m so ready for the break. But in the meantime, what better way to relieve some stress than to take it out…
MIA…and sad, sad news
Well, it’s been almost two weeks since my last post. Another school year is coming to close and I always forget how busy and stressed I get. However, this week was beyond just the ordinary busy school week. It’s a week that I will never forget. A week that pulled the rug from under me….
