April showers bring May flowers/ Heart 2 Heart blog challenge

This is my first entry in a contest, and hopefully not the last!

Here is a little wall hanging (I see it for Mother’s Day…) that I put together yesterday.  The base is a wall plaque that was purchased at JoAnn’s, and everything else is Close To My Heart.  I used what paper was left over from my Sophia Workshop on the Go.  I measured, cut then adhered the paper to the plaque, with the exception of the cardstock that I stamped on.  The flower and sentiment are from Friendship Blessings (D1191), the “&” is from Sophia (B1379).  I used some buttons from the pink assortment ( Z1370, again left over from my WOTG) added some Opaque Pearls (Z1336) in two different sizes, and finished with some of the pom-pom ribbon from the Designer Ribbon Pink Collection  (Z1384).

Why I do what I do.

People often ask me once they find out that I love to craft and create, "What is the one project you are most proud of?" My answer is always the same, "My five kids!" They are the reason I have been scrapbooking for so many years. I want to be able to capture their childhood through pictures, and evoke emotion through the art of scrapbooking. I found a wonderful company, Close To My Heart (CTMH), that allows me to do just that. Their breathtaking line of paper packs with coordinating embellishments and stamp sets take the guess work out of scrapping, and they are a huge time saver. And let's be honest, when it's fun it's easier to get a project done. Once I discovered CTMH, I decided to become a consultant so that I am better equipped to share the joy I feel when preserving memories that will be passed on for generations to come.



Another benefit to using Close To My Heart products is the versatility they offer. Not only do you get to create and protect your precious memories by scrapbooking, but you can also use the paper packs and embellishments to create personalized and unique cards as well as sprucing up your home decor. I love having the ability to transform a simple photograph into a piece of art I am proud to display in my home or give as a gift to a special person.



It is not the amount of 'creative talent' but rather the level of interest and passion you possess that will determine what we are capable of accomplishing together. Let me show you how simple, quick and most importantly fun scrapbooking and paper crafting can be.
