Flowering Bunch Card


The May Stamp of the Month called Flowering Bunch has been sitting on my desk, calling my name, all month long. It is such a cute set that I just had to create something with it before leaving for the 2013 Close to my Heart Convention in Orlando, FL tomorrow.

This fun little card was made using that set in addition to an older, retired petite perk set called Bee Mine. (I just love the tiny little bee in that set.) I added some Stardust Glitter Gel to his wings. I also popped up a few of the tiny flowers and added some small Sparkles in the center.

It’s a simple card, but if you know me, you know “Simple” is my middle name. *Ü*


I guess that’s it before I leave tomorrow. If you’d like to stay up to date on all of the happenings at Convention, be sure to check the Facebook hash tag #VivaCTMH often. (I may just post a few fun photos and updates here on my blog and on my CTMH Facebook page as well.)

Working on Team Gifts...

I am leaving for the Close to my Heart Convention in less than a week! Yay! I am so excited. I have been busy working away on presentation projects, create and take projects, and fun little gifties for my team. It has been a busy few weeks, but definitely lots of fun.

I thought I’d post a little teaser today with a sneak peak at part of my team gifts. (I always have a little somethin’ special for all of my team members who attend Convention.)


I will be sure to take photos of the whole gift and share them here as soon as I hand them out next Wednesday evening. (I don’t want to spoil it for the recipients by posting now.)

Back to my studio I go...

Happy Father's Day!


Wishing a Happy Father’s Day to all of the great Dads out there in Blogland. A special wish goes out to my wonderful husband Andy, who is a fabulous, hands-on Dad to our two adorable kiddos.

The kids and I made him this shirt card using the Artiste cartridge and some paper from the Dakota Collection. Since he is such a great Dad and spiritual leader, we thought it would be fitting to put a bible in his pocket. We just popped up the pocket with some 3-D Foam Tape and slipped a mini bible inside.

Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE my job?

I was soooo excited to be greeted by the Fed Ex man this morning with a large Brighton box from Close to my Heart. Check out what was inside...


Isn’t this Large Cosmetic Bag beautiful??? Wow! I will be traveling in style for sure. I know I have posted in the past about how much I love being a CTMH Consultant, but getting rewarded by the Corporate Office for doing what I love is icing on the cake (or maybe I should say the cherry on top!) They sent this beautiful bag, promotion certificate, and sweet letter as a congratulations for recently promoting to Executive Director.

I have the most wonderful team and without them, I would not have earned this promotion. So a BIG hug goes out to all of the Paper Trufflez team members. Thank you all for making this job so much fun and so rewarding.


If you’d like information on joining my Close to my Heart team and possibly earning great rewards like this one, feel free to contact me. I’d love to chat with you! You can also find lots of great information on my New Consultant FAQ page here.

Chantilly Birthday Card


Hi Everyone! Have you missed me? I am still here. I am just knee deep in creating some fun (secret) projects for the upcoming Close to my Heart annual Convention. I can’t wait to share them with you when I return. In the meantime I wanted to share a sweet card that my friend Christine Adams sent me for my birthday last week. She used the pretty Chantilly papers and the Perfect Fit — Birthday stamp set. Isn’t this card darling?

Thank you Christine!!! You made my special day, even more special! xoxo

With Flag Day, Independence Day, Canada Day, and more right around the corner, now is the perfect time to celebrate military service and promote patriotism with our three new patriotic stamp sets—only available for a limited time from June 1 – July 31, 2013!

One B-size stamp set and two D-size stamp sets were created specifically to celebrate independence and freedom. The best part is that $5 from every patriotic D-size stamp set and $3 from every patriotic B-size stamp set sold will benefit a military-support charitable organization.

Donations in the US will be made to the USO, the leading, most recognized military-support and services organization in the country. Donations in Canada will be made to the Canadian Hero Fund, which supports spouses and children of fallen Canadian military troops by helping provide post-secondary education funds.
