I'm away and having the time of my life...

at Close To My Heart's Team Builders event. This is an exclusive event for Leaders where we get to meet with Corporate and share our opinions on new exciting changes. I have to admit that I was nervous about attending. It is my first time attending an event without my buddy Nona in a long time. This evening quickly subsided my nerves.

I am in a room with three of the sweetest ladies (Christine A., Sue N., and Mary T. - hi ladies). Then to break the ice and get the conversation started (as if we need helpd with that), we did a little "speed dating." We spent a couple of hours in 5 minute increments getting to know a good portion of the 60 Consultants in attendance. That was a blast!

Looking forward to tomorrow! I'll leave you tonight with a photo of my roomie gifts (I can't wait to show you what my roomies gave me later). If this post leaves you wanting to know more about Close To My Heart or heck, ready to sign up right now visit my website.

Just have to share with you...

As many of you know, I love photography! I'm still learning and hope to someday capture amazing photos like these talented and uber sweet ladies. They are so great that I just have to share them with you...

Karen Russell - Snapshots of a Good Life
My dear friend Nona, directed me to Karen for photography classes after winning a spot in her online class. Her classes are so amazing that she has quite the waiting list and after taking her class, I can tell you "rightfully so." I had been looking for a photography class for a long time, but nothing I came across seemed to be what I wanted/needed. Karen's approach to photography fit beautifully with what I wanted, being a scrapbooker herself. Not only did she teach me more about my camera than could have hoped for, she also freed me (well, I am still working on this part) from that pesky perfectionism. Sometimes we capture emotionally perfect photos that are not technically perfect - guess what in the end is the the emotion that matters the most (thank you Karen). If you have been looking for an online photography class, I'd highly recommend Karen's Photographers' Workshop. If you are looking for a does of adorable photos that will make you smile and heartfelt honesty that will sometimes make you laugh, check out her blog here.

Monday was a very exciting day to me (and many, many others)! Erin Cobb's Clean Color video tutorial became available for purchase. We have been patiently waiting and the moment it became available, I jumped at downloading it.

What is "Clean Color" you might be wondering? Well, have you have looked at a photographers photos and wondered how they achieved such phenomenal coloring that brings the photo to life? Have you looked at your photos and thought, they looked dull and lifeless? Erin, who has super cute kids and posts photos that pull at your heartstrings, has shared her color flow process. Theses tutorials are step by step and very easy to follow, she even includes the sample photos for us to practice with and cement the techniques. In just the short time I have had "Clean Color," I have been able to take a few of my photos, follow her process and I am thrilled with the results (I'll share them later).

If you take photos and want your final photos to be timeless and full of life, go get "Clean Color" now!

While you are there, check out her blog. Her posts (and photos) are like a little dose of daily sunshine that make me smile.

Studio J: Motivation 2 Crawl


You are probaby starting to think that I no longer am actually creating traditional layouts or cards. I have been busy creating layouts, cards and more using new products, but am saving the reveal of those for my big Blow-Out Sale and Inspirations preview party on Saturday, January 8th. Afterwards I'll start sharing those with you as well :)

The more you use Studio J, the more you begin discovering fun tricks to make your layouts look exactly how your want them. Using text boxes, a little layering and filling them with patterned papers, I was able to continue the Dutch Blue cardstock, the polka dot paper and the heart paper from the right side of the page to the left. I was also able to add a white matte around my main photo. Sounds complicated, but it was easy peasy and I'd love to show you how, email me at CreatewithChristine@msn.com if you are interested in a lesson.

Sweet Memories Revisited with Studio J

I am beginning to think that I might just be able to be one of those peope that is all caught up on my scrapbooking. Up until Studio J, I never thought that would be a possibility and it feels awesome.

These photos make my heart bubble with joy. I had forgotten that my hubby snapped these photos for me one night while I sang to Conner in our nighty routine. When he was little his tummy used to bother him, so I picked up this habit of rubbing it and singing my own version of "row, row, row, your boat." My version went "rub, rub, rub, the belly every single night, merrily, merrily, merrily, Conner's smile is bright."

The singing is still part of our nightly ritual with the boys, but now I sing the real version of "row your boat," "pop goes the weezel," "twinkle twinkle," and "you are my sunshine." Such sweet memories, maybe I need to have Brian take a few new pictures with me and both the boys.
