It’s a fond memory not only for her, but also for me, too!
One of the highlights of attending Close To My Heart’s Annual Convention is getting to see so much beautiful artwork–creations by other Consultants as well as the Corporate Art Department. Swapping is a big part of these events and it’s SO fun! I wanted to spend the next few days sharing some of these beauties with you.
Summer is a time for weddings and this card I received from DeAnn Buser is a perfect handmade card to create for the newly married couple!
Today’s card is one I received from Kris Rudowsky in a Consultant Card Swap I participate in with each new catalog. I love this Birthday Confetti Stamp Set. It has such nice dimension with 2 simple stamps. Love the effect and simplicity!
Saturday was the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing. At our household this was a BIG deal. My husband works in the space industry–you might even call him a Rocket Scientist 🙂 So to celebrate we hosted a little summer gathering with friends to celebrate the occasion.
If you fell in love with the *NEW* Rainbow Bridge Stamp Set + Thin Cuts Dies and were disappointed when they ran out of stock–I’m happy to report that they just announced this morning that there are more back in stock. It’s time to order them before they’re truly gone for good though!
I’m currently at Close To My Heart’s Annual Convention–we’re celebrating 35 years in the business this year!! I thought this card I received from my talented sister-in-law, Barb Baldwin, was the perfect card to share for this celebration.

Close To My Heart’s June Stamp of the Month, It’s Your Day to Sparkle, is the perfect stamp set for weddings and birthdays. The sentiments are all separate which allows you to customize your project. Plus, the images are so beautiful.
This weekend Close To My Heart released some *NEW* products (that are fabulous, by the way!) It’s all part of the *NEW* Share the Joy Special going on now through July 31st, while supplies last.
Today’s card is a quick & easy one. I’m sharing it not only because I love these patterns from the Sweet Girl Paper Collection (many of the patterns are in the Ballerina and Peach tones so these are a nice alternative) but also because I have a quick tip/technique to share as well.
I received this beautiful thank you card from fellow Close To My Heart Consultant, Rose Mary Steel. I couldn’t wait to share it because not only is it so pretty and easy to put together, but it has a fun fold idea that really takes the card up a notch.
With graduation season upon us, I thought it was timely to share a fun way to give someone money as a gift. It adds a personal touch to the gift and really isn’t hard to do either. And it works for birthdays, weddings and more!
