So much has happened over the past few months, and I need to start documenting it! I'll start with my first (and most exciting) news--as of the end of April, I'm a new Close To My Heart consultant! My kit arrived in the beginning of May, and I've been having a great time creating ever since! I'm going to start posting my creations here and on my Close To My Heart website. I held my first gathering a little over a week ago and it was a great success. In fact, the products arrived this weekend and I'm looking forward to delivering them tomorrow. So, over this holiday weekend, I broke out my new supplies and created this page. It is based on an add from a scrapbooking magazine. I didn't quite achieve the desired look, but I love the colors of this so much that I didn't want to trash it. I think it is a great example of how one can use a stamp set and a variety of ink pads to create one-of-a-kind background papers. I can't wait to show it off at my next gathering.
I have three gatherings booked for the summer starting at the end of June, but I REALLY want to have another one soon. It's a tough time of year for teachers, so I need to try and meet some non-teachers. This is going to be the hard part about the business, but it should make for an interesting challenge!
