October's Deal!

First, let me tell you how much I appreciate all of you and your interest in Close To My Heart. Celebrating 10 years with this company has given me a lot of things to be thankful for. I am mostly thankful for all the precious friends I have made and have had the honor and privilege of spending time with, learning from you all has been a pleasure and an inspiration! 

I also love this business because I have learned so much from other talented and gifted consultants that greatly improved my efforts in this world of Paper Art!!!!!! The comradery is outstanding! I enjoy the freedom of making this business work with family obligations, volunteering, camping with family along with the many other things this life brings me. I have time to take care of both.

Why did I join this business in the first place? 

 My love for crafting, stamping and working with paper - making gifts and cards to give to those I love and putting our years of memories in a book for future generations makes for a pretty fun job! How many jobs out there give you the benefit to do your heart's desire? 

As a Consultant, there is the discount for product to use for your own projects.

Its also fun helping ladies earn FREE product and teaching them different techniques at their own gatherings. A chance to meet new people and make life long friends.

 If this sounds like the dream job you have been looking for, consider this:

 *Maybe you might want to just be a hobbyist and get the discount. 

 *Maybe you might want to pursue this opportunity as a business of your own.

 *Maybe you might want to start your own team building and make a generous income for yourself. 

Whatever you decide, October 1st. (click here) could be the start of an amazing journey for yourself. 

Feel free to contact me for more details.

Fall Decorations!

Brrrrrr.....its cold today! I went from summer clothes to fall in one day! LOL! Only in Indiana!
Thinking about decorating for fall? We will be making these cute little items at our next workshops in Ohio and hopefully here in Indiana.

First, is this banner you can put on your table or mantle. It was mentioned that you might want to decorate the back also if its on your table. I want to thank Chiaki Haverstick

for sharing her wonderful idea! As you can see, I made it my own. I made it 5" tall instead of the height she made hers but the measurements for the folding lines are the same as hers. 

These closeups will show you the 3-D flowers, leaves and letters I cut with the Art Phylosophy Cricut Cartridge and the Artiste Cricut Cartridge and rolled them using our Quill Tool. I used the flower tool also to get them to roll inside better.

I used the new Ink Blot Stamp Set-D166 with Sunset and Chocolate.

S1309- Poster Tidings (retired Stamp of the Month)

D1604 Season of Thanks- I stamped and cut some of the words for extra pizzazz.

S1208 Baroque Borders- (Retired Stamp of the Month)

S1509- September 2015 Stamp of the Month (stamped on the letters)

Z1927-Damask Embossing Folder

Cut these from the Artiste Cricut Cartridge on page 78. The little name place is the Accent 4 cut smaller and the object on the right is the thing that goes around the card. I am glueing it in a circle and using it for a napkin holder.

The flowers and leaves are D1550- Happy Autumn and could be retired. I am using the X7198B-Nevermore Paper Pack.
