Close to My Heart has closed

 

When Close to My Heart closed, the CTMH Makers were invited to join Stampin" Up as a demonstrator.  Stampin' Up also worked with Close to My Heart to purchase some of the proprietary rights and knowledge to continue items from CTMH such as the two toned, white core papers, page protectors, and flipflaps.  Some of these might take some time, though through the transition we've been greeted with a warm generous welcome.

Links with crafty card ideas

 The best part of the CTMH sisterhood is how everyone SHARES!  I get ideas from Pinterest, but the best source is the FB pages.   One of my favorites I found posted on FB is  Liz Mullins Johnson. This is from September!!

Martina stated she used the following: "the blenderbrushes and then watercolored the butterfly from the "Spotlight on Nature“ Set in each color, to make the 3x3“ cards."

Living the Crafty Happy Life!

 Life Happens - it's all good!

Regrets:

Wishing I'd been keeping up - recording what I've been doing, ideas I've found, and posting photos of the good times that bring me JOY! Oh! and doing better at keeping organized!!

Resolutions:

Never to late to hit "restart" with "renewed goals"!! 

With the closure of Close to My Heart and the switch over to Stampin' Up - it's a good time to organize and start posting new projects. 

Remembering:

April '24 was the first ladies' craft retreat I had at church. It was fun and I'm looking forward to doing it again. My crafting focus has been with kids at church. I plan to continue "Craft Camp" in August, but have it more focused on specific projects: 

• "Journaling Books" will always be an option

• "Paper Making" has been on my list forever.......

•  and the Latest??  Creating jump ropes with T shirts! 

  I saw it posted on the GEMS Counselor web site. 
  

  The newest project I've found to create as a service project for our GEMS girls. (Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior)
