Project Inspiration: Tools for Tasteful Pages

Stitching Guide

The stitch guide helps you quickly and easily add a little “oomph” to your projects. Watch the video to see how we’ve added the popular hand-sewn effect to the stamped images in the My Acrylix™ Windy Day set using just three tools: the stitch guide, the foam mat, and a sewing needle with embroidery floss.

HAPPY MAY DAY!

Happy May Day!

  I've just celebrated my 7th year with Close to My Heart!  I can hardly believe it has gone by so quickly.

  I am so happy to see the sun shining today, the temperature is in the 70’s, and I truly feel a spring in my step. I look forward to what the next few months have to offer my customers, my hostesses, my team and my family!  I am having so much fun with my business and want to THANK each of you from the bottom of my heart for your support.  My family members look forward to a fabulous week in Disneyland and the CTMH convention coming up.  It amazes me that we can go on these wonderful vacations because I teach people scrapbooking and card making skills!  Being rewarded with fun for having fun is incredible! 

 I am truly blessed to have you in my life.

These Scrapbook Elements, from a monthly swap I am in, features the Sparkle & Shine Papers from CTMH's Christmas collection. Everyone chooses an item to make then makes 10 of them.  When we get together we exchange our items, then come home and create our scrapbook pages.  Many of these also work well on mini scrapbook pages.
