Summer Event Schedule...please mark your calendars now!

I'm excited to share my MONTHLY EVENT SCHEDULE

for this upcoming Summer! May and June are so jam-packed

for me, that I've had to re-arrange some of the dates I had

previously advertised (so, I'm sorry about needing

to make those changes)!

What you see below are the correct dates and times!

I'm also including images of each of the scrapbooking kits

we'll be working with each month (below). Remember,

local customers receive an additional 4th layout (designed

by me), so you get to make 8 pages total with your kit

for just $32. All cards are optional and cost extra.

The 4-5 card designs I'm offering during each month

($2 each) will also feature the same paper collection

(with coordinating stamps) and I am usually able to share

photos of the cards we'll be making about a week or two

before I offer them each month (so keep an eye out for my

Facebook posts and reminders). I hope you will plan to

discover and grow your creativity with us this Summer

and join us for the fun very soon!

Beautiful Friendship - May 2018

February 17th Triple Treat Workshop - RSVP Now!

Well, it took me several weeks, but I'm finally ready 

to share the layouts I've designed for our next

"Triple Treat Workshop" coming up on 2/17!

First, let me share more information about the big event,

followed by the layouts and cards we'll be making this time.

This will be the fourth time we've hosted this event now and

I'm thrilled that it just keeps growing bigger and better!

I hope you can join us for all the fun too!

For our scrapbooking guests, there will be a little bit

of stamping, coloring, and cutting required this time,

(but only just this "little bit" on layout #1).

Most of these stamped elements are cut out using our

thin cuts (dies). I'm also excited about teaching you

some marker coloring techniques and giving you the

opportunity to experiment with that.

Lastly, I thought it might be fun to show the scrapbookers

how many of the stickers, die cuts, zip strips, and PML cards

I used up. I used all of the PML cards (from one sheet) on our

pages and only 1 sticker and 5 die cuts remain! If you're one

that doesn't like to have lots of "left-overs," then you're going

to love how much of our materials we use up this time!

Merry (belated) Christmas!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

to all of my creative friends!

Once again, the holiday season has been lovely, fun, interesting, and even challenging at times, to say the least! Ugh, that flu bug that's been going around is no joke! lol.

Now that my oldest two children are adults and in college, I'm especially grateful to have had them here at home with us. I LOVE having a "full house!!" (sometimes! lol).

It may have meant having a lot less "creative time" for me in my scrapbook room in recent weeks, but it also means more photos were taken and there are now more memories to save and share and add to my always growing collection!

I hope you and yours were able to enjoy making some new memories also! Whether you took just a few photos this season or a lot of photos, I encourage you to take a few minutes alone to reflect on the past few weeks and write down some of the good (and even not-so-good) things that made this holiday season memorable for you and your loved ones. If you enjoy writing, then write as much as you can. If you don't really care to write, then just jot out a quick list of things you appreciate and want to remember always.

These "notes" will become very helpful when you do 

finally get a chance to sit down and scrapbook these memories!

As the year 2017 winds down to a close, I wanted to

express my gratitude to the many amazing friends and customers who have been an important part of my life this year and for many years. My Close to my Heart business is so much more than just a business to me. It has provided me with the opportunity to connect with those who share a similar passion for creativity and making the world a more loving and beautiful place, one card and/or one scrapbook page at a time!

YOU are the heart of my business and the biggest reason why I love creating with and sharing Close to my Heart. THANK YOU for your friendship, for creating alongside me, and for supporting me with your purchases and interest in my many kits, classes, and events! I'm excited and looking forward to all of the creative time together 

that we have ahead of us in 2018!

Please mark your calendars now and plan to 
JOIN US at any or all of my Spring 2018 events!!
