New Workshop and Party Times and Days Available...

Hello all,

I am sure you have been wondering why I haven't posted in awhile. Well, the reason is I have been creating so many new workshops for you to create.

I am now offering new day time hours for workshops or parties. Yeah!! I know some of you are thrilled because you have been wanting them for awhile. The new days will be Mon-Thurs and you can choose from either the 10am or 11am spot.

Email me at luciag@myctmh.com to set up a day for your workshop or party.

It's here, it's here!!!

I have been hoarding the brand new Fall/Winter Idea Books from Close to my Heart but today is the day I get to share them with you. Wahoo!!! You can view the online catalog here. There is some great new products in this catalog.

Have fun looking I know I have been having fun.

Rewind...

I am so excited about my Workshops I am doing this weekend. They are all cut and ready to go. We will be making a Bella Paint Can one day and the other day we are making a Moon Doggie Acrylic Album.

Would you like to get your friends together for a fun time, make a project, and get Free Close to my Heart Product? If you answered yes please contact me to schedule a Workshop date. They are so much fun. My Hostesses always get at least $40-$100 in FREE product plus they get to pick any item in the book for half off. Yes, I wrote anything from Glue Dots to the Rolling Carryall.

For those of you who purchased You've Got Flair or earned it for free this card is for you. You've Got Flair was the stamp of the month for July. It is a great stamp set. It is no longer available but I thought it might give you an idea on what you can do with the stamp set.

All product used is Close to my Heart. I used the Game On Paper. Shop now.

Still working...

Sometimes it is really hard to get a good picture of these checkbook covers. There always seems to be a glare when I go to take the picture. I really would like to take an actual class to learn how to take better pictures. I see lots of Internet classes but I would think it would be easier for me to be in an actual class.

I am still working on making Checkbook covers for my Craft Fairs. I am always looking for new places to set up a table so let me know if you have a Craft Fair I don't know about.

All product is Close to my Heart except for the cover. I used Bella Paper and Stickease. Shop now. I buy them in bulk so if you need any or think this would be a fun workshop let me know.

Bella, Bella...

So school is officially in session today which is good and bad. I think all the kids were starting to get bored at home and were ready to go back to school. The bad is it means Fall is coming which means Winter is coming, which means I lose my tan. :( Oh well, I can always get one next year or go to Hawaii for the Winter. I like the Hawaii plan. Anyone want to go with me?

I used the Bella Level 2 Paper Pack and Stickease on this birthday card. I used the August Stamp of the Month It's Your Day for the Sentiment. I added a little bling to the card using Clear Sparkles. The ribbon is the lace colonial white one. All product used is Close to my Heart and can be purchased on my website at luciag.myctmh.com.

Got money?

I had paper left from making my Celebration Card Kit so I decided to make this checkbook cover. I do several Craft Shows in October-November and these checkbook covers are always a favorite. If you are in the area email me so that I can't let you know where they are. I have been doing some of them for 3 years or more so it is fun to see the same people every year. It is really great to have repeat customers. Thanks to all of you who come out and support a home-based business. I really appreciate it.

The sentiments are from the Friendship Word Puzzle. All items are Close to my Heart and can be purchase on my website at luciag.myctmh.com.

I should be cleaning the bathroom, but I thought it could wait while I posted this door hanger. I really think I could use a housekeeper that way I could create beautiful artwork all day long. Wake up Lucia it isn't going to happen. :) It sure is a nice thought. I wouldn't mind having a cook while I am dreaming too. I can handle the laundry.

Anyways on to the important stuff. This cute little door hanger was created with the Bella Paper and Stickease. These will make great little gifts for your Sunday School Class kids or for Teacher doors. They would be cute for kid's bedrooms too. The ideas for them are endless.

All products are Close to my Heart except for the door and can be purchased on my website at luciag.myctmh.com.

Oh, so pretty...

I have been updating my website, Facebook and Blog so I have been really busy. I apologize now if I double post something on my blog. :0

This card is a 6x6 card using Paper Garden paper and matching Stickease. It would make a great birthday card for a special person in your life.

It really is...

After watching the video yesterday I bet you are so excited about Studio J (Digital Scrapbooking) just like I am. Today, I wanted to get you even more excited. This layout below is a Digital Layout. Seriously, I couldn't believe it. Close to my Heart has been working on this for 3 years and you can really tell. I always though Digital Scrapbooking looked like Digital Scrapbooking but I have changed my mind after seeing this layout. These pages are so amazing.
