There’s NO way!!!

30 cards in less than 2 hours?!?  That’s just crazy!

That’s not crazy, it just Chrissy!!

That’s right, 30 cards (5 each of 6 designs) from first cut to last stamped image in under 2 hours.  (*In all fairness, I have the majority of my buttons pre-strung with the same thread!)

 30 cards

C’mon, you know you want to see if you can pull it off too!  Contact me to schedule your very own “Beat the Clock” Challenge.

Remiss

I have to say that the PTA gig is a blast.  My only complaint is that I keep forgetting to take pictures of the projects that I use for raffle prizes!

Thankfully, this morning I know the winner of the picture frame/dry erase board.  I did one for last Friday’s Bingo, and there was only one other raffle basket (out of 9!) that had more tickets in it!  I am really happy that it went to this person, because she commented to me at Bingo how much she liked it. 

Here is her picture of it – I have to say that I love the fact that she likes it so much that she posted a pic on her Facebook page already!!

The days of the week are magnets that I glued to the frame.  I like this idea because it adds function and flair.  You could even put wallet size pictures in the 4x6 frames and still see the notes you write for each day of the week.

 

Enjoy!

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.
