So go check it out.



 

Here is another card made at the Spring Fling designed by Krista
The words were from our new Washi tape. She also used shimmer trim and glitter paper. The flowers were cut with the cricut and rolled, the chevron strip was cut out using  our Chevron border punch Z1998. Blossom paper was used.

D1653  Everytime someone buys this set $3 goes to Operation Smile.  The background was embossed with one of our embossing folders.   

Help with a goal!

Close to my Heart has just given us a fantastic opportunity.....they are giving a trip for two to Australia to one lucky person who attends Convention.  I am going to receive my 20th year award this year and I want to say:

1. I couldn’t do this without YOU….and I am so blessed & amazed once again of your continued support!!  I am so THANKFUL for MANY of you that I now call friends.  We most likely wouldn’t have met if I hadn’t been a part of CTMH…what a Blessing!!!

I want to continue to be here for YOU & help you in the BEST way I know how. J  THANK YOU!!

2. To help with a GOAL I am trying to reach that CTMH gave to each of us that are consultants. J 

  

Oh what FUN…I adore my CTMH Family, and when they offer a challenge…I like to give it my best!!!

So – what are they offering to us as Consultants???

For those of us Consultants that are registered to go to Convention 2015 in Disneyland, CA….(yup…I’m registered!!)

we have the opportunity to have our names put into a drawing to

 WIN a trip for 2 to Brisbane, Australia!!

yes – you read correctly (believe me…I had to read it a couple of times to allow it to sink in – LOL!)

I have been BLESSED beyond measure with the trips I have EARNED through CTMH….but to WIN a trip to a place we’ve never been?  Oh it’s FUN to dream AND I will give it my best as I try to get my name entered as many times as I can into this drawing!!

****So – how do your purchases help?? 

By attending Convention this year – my name is already in the drawing…HOWEVER…

with EVERY $1000 in sales I sell from May 1-31st…I get another ticket entered towards winning that trip!!! 

For everyone who places an order with me or on my website I will send you a homemade card. 

(similar to this one)  Your name will be put in a drawing to win tons of prizes.   

This is easy.....look at this month's special. These papers are so bright and colorful and you can get a matching stamp set.  Remember this will be gone at the end of the month.  The card above features the new Jackson paper and my previous blog post features the new Blossom paper.  Great products in Seasonal Expressions 2.  So order today and help me get another chance 
for a trip of a lifetime.

Thanks

May Joyful Stars blog hop

Welcome to the :

We are so happy you could join us in our monthly blog hop. 

You will be able to hop from one blog to the next and get inspired by other Close to My Heart consultants.  I have a  list of bloggers at the bottom of this post where you can see the rotation, in case you get lost.  Enjoy all the wonderful ideas you will find in this hop.

I chose to share with you  this month a cascading heart card. I made this card for my Mother, I hope she likes it. Happy Mother's Day MOM!

I used Blossom paper from Seasonal Expressions book.

This could be a great happy birthday card or valentine's day card.

 I had so much fun making the above card, I decided to make a card for my Grand-daughter's 11th birthday. I used Confetti wishes compliments. 

If you want  measurements I posted them below or I would be glad to have a class to show you how.

Hop over to Betty's blog and check out what she has been up to.  Happy Mother's Day!

5 min quickie card

This was a card that everyone could make when they are extra time on Sat at our Spring Fling.

The paper is called Taste of Summer and is only available the month of May. You can get this, which has 6 different patterns and 2 of each pattern.  One side of the paper has fruit and the other side had a color tone on tone.  The zip strips are also fun, see the row of strawberries.  

The word set is new and one of those  must have sets . Finding the words D1646 found in the Seasonal Expressions catalog.  The strawberry stamped on the tag is from the stamp set that goes with the paper.  

  The numbers for Taste of Summer are  Paper  CC1038
