One of the wonderful things about being a Close To My Heart consultant is the opportunity to get to meet other people (virtually or IRL) who love paper crafting. An even better thing is getting to make real friends with some of them. One such person, I met the summer before last at CTMH’s annual convention. That…

Snow Much Fun!
I am so excited to begin my second run with Heart 2 Heart Challenges! I so enjoyed it the first time and was so happy to receive another opportunity to participate again. Every term at Heart 2 Heart has had a wonderful and inspiring design team, but I’m particularly honored to be among this particular…
Pirouette Card
Today’s post features the third of a set of cards I created for next week’s Card’s, Etc. Workshop and it’s probably my favorite. (Details about the first two cards were in yesterday’s post.) I wasn’t sure how the color combo would work, but I think it turned out really pretty. I used a little inspiration…
Avonlea Card Workshop
My winter break is coming to a close waaaaaayyyyy to quickly. Unfortunately, my break wasn’t as planned, as I had several medical issues that kept me from “wasting time away” in my craft room. But I’m pleased to say that I managed to have fun today getting the cards completed for next week’s Cards, Etc….
Rosy Regards
Ok…here’s another stamp set that’s going to be retiring at the end of the month. It’s called Rosy Regards. It’s been almost exactly one year since I created the card below and I still love it. I can’t put my finger on it. Is it the pleated ribbon? The way the flowers are cut? The…

Swap Card Crazy
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…
