ARE YOU READY FOR 2010???

2009-12-28T16:22:00.003-05:00

I'm not so sure if I am ready for 2010 yet. I've been a busy lady the last few weeks getting ready for Christmas and all but I hadn't' really set my sights on anything.
Now I've gotten involved with the 2010 LAYOUT CHALLENGE. It's a challenge for some of my fellow Close to My Heart Consultants and myself to push ourselves to do 120-150 layouts this year!!!! A wonderful lady by the name of Erin has started this up.
I can't wait to get going on this. I've already got the newest kit from Close to My Heart - the Felicity Collection. It will definitely start National Paper crafting Month with a bang!! I'll post my layouts and the details on how you too can get this kit for a fabulous deal.

2009-09-07T09:44:00.000-04:00

Well, school starts tomorrow (all the parents shout HURRAY) here in town so now's the time to get re-organized.
I'm heading down to the CREATIVE CAVE right now to get things straightened out for a great fall season of crafting!!! My little brother got married this year so crafts have been put aside for a bit
I'm going to humbly post some BEFORE pictures so you can see what hard work I've got to do.
I may have to stop and craft a bit so I'll show you those things too.
The CREATIVE CAVE is such a mess, I've spilled out into the rest of the basement. Sorry family.When it's all tidied up, I'll post the after pictures.
Let's see how long that will take!! Wish me luck

I'M CELEBRATING THE EVERY DAY!!!

2009-08-23T17:08:00.000-04:00

jrl_cr_notice_small7.jpg
Well, my Every Day Celebration kit came this week and I've finally started to play with all the goodies from Close to My Heart. This is a special kit for National Scrapbooking month that is only available while supplies last. Anyone who has bought this special in past years, remembers that the kit was already cut and you just placed it together. This time, you receive 4 12x12 sheets of Background and Texture paper and 2 pieces of cardstock, a cutting guide and all the other regular goods, 2 mini stamp pads, a D size stamp set and embellishments. I am loving this new format. I've done a few cards already according to the recipes included but I looked at these colours and instantly thought they would be great for my little guys birthday party pictures. So I took out my IMAGINE HOW-TO BOOK by Close to My Heart, looked up a scrapbook page recipe (MINUET TO BE EXACT) and VOILA!! I've got more than one use for my newest kit. You can purchase this kit for $49.95 plus shipping and taxes OR if you place an order for $75 or more in stamp sets (excluding stamp of the month, K-size and Art and Soul purchases)you can receive it for FREE!!
Now I have to find the pictures to go on the pages. Wish me luck!!

2009-08-19T16:23:00.000-04:00

The new Idea Book will be out just around the corner on September 1st!!

I'd love to have your input on what you would like to see in the future from me with Close to My Heart. Please follow the link on my blog to take a short confidential survey to point me in the right direction. Thanks again for your help and support in my little venture. Happy Crafting

SUMMER IS FINALLY HERE!!

2009-08-16T15:54:00.000-04:00

Well, the spots are gone and the sun is out!!
I just got back from holidays this week and I'm telling you, I am charged up for the next big thing with Close to My Heart!! There is a great campaign where you can get a beautiful card set with an exclusive stamp set AT NO COST when you place an order of $75 in My Acrylix Stamp Sets. It is only WHILE SUPPLIES LAST so start searching your Idea Books as this will sell out fast.

SPOTS X 2

2009-07-13T13:54:00.000-04:00

YES it's true. Now my daughter has the dreaded spots as well. I'm glad it's almost over . Watch
for my new workshops to be announced shortly.

I'M SEEING SPOTS

2009-07-06T09:39:00.000-04:00

YES IT'S TRUE. The chicken pox have arrived for summer vacation at our house. My little guy is a trooper and he's still driving his big sister bonkers so he's not to worse for wear.

Since this shuts down my workshop area for a while,

I thought I'd spice up everyone else's summer.

If you place an order with me from Close to My Heart by JULY 14TH, I'll put your name into a draw so you can win THE HOSTESS AWARDS!! You read correctly, all you have to do is place your order and I'll have a draw for the winner.

Call 705-730-6808 or email justpaperandink@hotmail.com with your order no later than July 14th.

I will also be retiring my website as of August. Stop by my blog to see samples from workshops and gatherings I 'll be having in the near future - AFTER THE SPOTS ARE GONE.

Happy Crafting.

IS IT JUNE ALREADY???

2009-06-08T12:48:00.001-04:00

Where has the year gone??

Well if it's June that means we're doing the Telus Walk to find a Cure for Juvenille Diabetes.

Go to the website, http://www.jdrf.ca/ to find out what you need to know and how you can help.

We had a great time with Team Noah last year and this year I'm sure will be the same. I'm hosting a garage sale for them this weekend on Saturday. Pray the rain goes away by then.

Have a great week.

2009-05-26T10:22:00.000-04:00

We had so much fun yesterday morning. I used the Originals Card how-to-book from Close to My Heart to do a little workshop of 5 cards. The two shown here are the Classic Heartfelt design, one vertical, one horizontal. What a great time. If you have any questions about the papers or stamps, email me at wendycline@myctmh.com.
