The photo is ready finally...


*You can click on the photo to see it full size*
I know I have been rather quiet lately - here is the reason... I have been waiting for Close To My Heart to post the picture of my "WINNING" layout.  Yes, you read that right - I won the layout contest at Regionals in Oregon! I was tickled to be selected among the Top 5 for both the cards and the layouts, but I really want to win a layout contest. Since I have won a card contest, I wanted to feel balanced (silly I know).  One of my favorite parts of winning is simply having a professional photo taken of my projects on bright white backgrounds - it makes me SO happy!

I am going to send my card back in to Corporate for our monthly From the Heart contest, so I'll post a photo of it later. :)

Thank you for an amazing 5 years!

Today marks my 5 year anniversary with Close To My Heart - what an amazing 5 years it has been! Thank you to each and every one of my customers (who have become dear friends) for keeping me employed while helping me live my dreams!  -- Watch my next post for a Celebration (Thank You) Sale --

When I started Conner was just three months old.  Hard to believe that he is now 5 and in Kindergarten. When I was pregnant with Conner I felt such anxiety, because I knew that I didn't want to leave him to go back to work. Yet, I felt like there was really no choice, we were struggling as it was (with me working) to pay our monthly bills.  Thankfully, I had been introduced to Close To My Heart by Kris Croce years before, although I never became a regular scrapbooker or cardmaker - the one class I attended planted a seed. So, when trying to figure out a way I could stay home with our brand new son, it crossed my mind. I remember how much fun she had teaching us and thought "maybe, I could do that" - never guessing that not only could I do it, I'd be good at it and LOVE it! My husband and I chatted about it and I called Chris to see about joining her team. She had since moved on but offered an excited "go for it!" Soon after that phone call, I found my upline online and am so glad that I went for it (my husband even had to sell a motorcycle to pay for my kit - talk about a great investment).

Starting out with CTMH, I had no grand dreams - I merely wanted to make a little money to help with the bills.  Quickly I discovered that I could replace my previous part time income and have fun doing it. To be as honest and open as I always am - we had a lot of debt (pushing 30k). I share this because I am proud to say that not only did becoming a CTMH Consultant allow me to stay home with my son, it helped me pay off EVERY penny of that debt! We had always dreamed about building a home, but with the debt and my decision to stay home with our son, it seemed like it would never happen. As soon as the debt was paid off (thanks to the help of CTMH), the dream became a reality.  In December of 2008 we completed our dream home.

Beyond the financial benefits, I have been rewarded beyond belief: through amazing relationships with women (both customers and fellow Consultants) who share the same heartfelt desires, by achieving successes that I never would have imagined I was capable of (top new recruiter/2nd overall in recruiting/winning art contests/being featured in our catalog), and feeling valued by the Corporate staff at Close To My Heart.

To celebrate I spent the day playing with my two boys (Blake joined our family November 11, 2007) in our dream home.  It seemed an appropriate way to celebrate my 5th anniversary with Close To My Heart - because I do not believe that I would be here if I had not become a Consultant on October 26, 2004.

If you are interested in finding out more about becoming a CTMH Consultant, I would love to be the Consultant that plants a seed that could change your life.  Email me at CreatewithChristine@msn.com for a free information packet and to ask any questions you might have!

A Few Answers

How did you make the felt reindeer?
The felt reindeer is from our HeartFelt Die-Cuts: Wonder (Item #Z120).  This is an adorable collection of fall designs - pre-cut: just need to be popped out.  Along with the deer, you'll find squirrels, owls, acorns, trees, frames, leaves, snowflakes and more. If you like the Wonder Die Cuts, you might also enjoy the Whimsy Die Cuts.

How did you add the "shopping" cart option to your blog?
While I'd love to answer this question for everyone.  Since it involved a good deal of web design knowledge (and coding), I will not be able to provide instruction.  Thank you for understanding!

Jingle, Holiday Trinkets, Ribbon, Rub On Glitter

This is one of those cards where I was just using left overs and ended up a card I love!  Doubling up ribbon adds an extra ooh la la. Throw in our new Winter Cheer: Glitter Rub-Ons and we have a winner!

I used the glitter rub ons a bit different here.  Instead of using the adhesive designs in the package, I used a glue pen to create my own designs (the dots on the ornament).  After my glue pen dried to to a "post it" note tackiness, I used the glitter sheet and rubbed it on.

Rudolph finds his Jingle with a Twinkle Brad and Rub Ons




This card was inspired by a display at Leadership - I fell in love with the deer from Close To My Heart's Wonder - Heartfelt Die Cuts.  Using the Across the Board rub-ons, I gave him a little character.  But he wouldn't be Rudolph without his nose so bright which our new Twinkle Brads were perfect for.
