April is almost here!

There are some exciting things happening in April:

If you become a Close To My Heart consultant in April, you will get the next 4 months set of Stamp of the Month FREE!

Each Weekend in April there will be a 24 hour weekend sale featuring different items and product bundles at 25% off the regular price.

Create your own Important Thing bundle:

Create a meaningful EveryDay Life Album based on the journaling model inspired by Margaert Wise Brown's The Important Book.  You can create your important things from your life in an album to share and enjoy.

This is the last month for the Seasonal Expressions so make sure you have the paper and the stamps that you have been looking at for 3 months.  They will all be gone come May 1. 

Each of the 4 different papers have a Workshop Your Way that does 3 - 2 page layouts with cards.  There are also special card kits.  Have fun creating scrapbooks and cards and then have even more fun sharing them with family and friends. 

Where do you put your cards?

I have had several systems to share and save the cards I make.  This Christmas, I came across a Sterlite box that was great.  It was wide enough and tall enough and had a locked top.  I have gone through several versions of card dividers.  What you can do most easily is cut 12 x 12 paper into 4 6x6 size squares.  You can get the 3M sticky tabs and mark your dividers.  On one card you can stamp the 12 months so you can write the Anniversaries and Birthdays.  It is in front so you can look through the box and see if there is anything that month. With this system in place, you can see if you are low on a certain type of card and work ahead.  I hope you can find this as fun and easy and I did.

Spring Card Buffet

Tomorrow we will meet at the Indian Agency House in Portage at 12:30.  Monday the 19 we will meet at the First United Methodist Church in Baraboo (on Broadway off the square).  In
3 hours you will get a chance to make 8 cards from 13 designs.  Some of the people who signed up can't make the Agency house so I will be having a card making time at my house after the 19th.  Contact me with your free times.

 I love this "gift" card card.  There are 2 outside designs.

I love the versatility of the Close To My Heart stamps and paper.  These designs can really change to whatever you wish them to say.  The paper being a different design on both sides, makes it possible to have such a variety of cards.  This buffet should be great!

My workshop for Postcard Perfect

In May - National Scrapbooking Month - the paper will be available for Postcard Perfect.  I have designed a workshop that will give you 6 - 2 page layouts and 2 of those pages will have 6x12 flip flaps which gives you more pages.  I am making an album for my son and his fiance for 2017 and 2018 engagement through wedding.  It won't take long to make the pages but the embellishment will take a little bit.  You can do what you want for embellishments noting that I have a specific project in mind for my paper and you probably will too.  You can buy the paper in May and we can do the workshop in May/June or July.
