Presenting a Gift Certificate!


I am the chairperson of a bingo event, benefiting the school where I teach. This is the third bingo event for me, and this time we decided to add some raffle prizes. I am donating a gift certificate as a Close To My Heart Independent Consultant. Instead of putting the gift certificate in and envelope, I wanted the presentation to be a WOW!

This is the first My Creations® Bracket Frame I completed. I used the Art Philosophy cartridge to cut the Laughing Lola Paper Packet for the frame. That made this project a snap! I kept the embellishments simple since the paper is a busy pattern. Black Shimmer Trim, a Burlap Ribbon flower, and a jewel from the Laughing Lola Assortment is all this project needed.

A Scrapbook Layout ABOUT a Crop?


Of course we need to scrapbook pictures of our time scrapbooking or cardmaking! This past summer I attended a 12 hour crop with several CTMH consultant friends. It was a great time of fellowship and working on projects.

Now you might be looking at the paper and elements and saying how is it a Studio J layout? It's true that the paper and elements are not Close To My Heart. They are from Harper Finch Designs "I Craft Kit".  The templates are from Jen C Design's Pot Pourri Volume 1 and 2 I love that I can create a layout with Photoshop Elements and load into Studio J with the No Limits pattern. That way I can create using anything and still benefit from the professional printing and JPG files that Close To My Heart provides.

Characters, a Studio J Layout



I took advantage of having some unused Studio J credits to create this layout! Studio J is Close To My Heart's online digital software. In a few quick and easy steps you can design a two page layout and purchase it for $6.95. That includes professional printing and JPG files to download for archiving your work. You do need to purchase a minimum of 4 layouts for shipping purposes.

A laughed so much creating this layout! I think I can rival any Disney character with my animated facial expressions and poses! Good times!

Butterflies, a Studio J Layout


About a week ago I got an email that I had unused Studio J credits. YAY! Studio J is Close To My Heart's online digital software. In a few quick and easy steps you can design a two page layout and purchase it for $6.95. That includes professional printing and JPG files to download for archiving your work. You do need to purchase a minimum of 4 layouts for shipping purposes.

One of the great things about Studio J is the ability to access retired paper packs. This kit, Discovery predates my becoming a consultant. I remember buying it as a customer! It works so well with these pictures I took this past summer when my backyard was "invaded" by butterflies!
