New Beginnings!

Three cheers for new beginnings!  It has been a long year since Creative Memories filed bankruptcy for the second time.  Since then I have struggled with what to do.  I want to scrapbook, bot traditionally and digitally but that was not the way CM and then later Ahni & Zoe by Creative Memories seemed to be going.  After searching many different companies and even thinking about being my own "company", I have found what I feel is the perfect.  I am in hopes that my customers will agree with me because their needs were always in my mind.  April 1st, I signed up to be a consultant with Close To My Heart!  I have a great upline who lives close by and have met many other CTMH consultants across the US.  I love the products and I am looking forward to learning how they incorporate the Cricut with their designs.

My new consultant kit will be here this weekend and I can't wait to play!  Over the next few weeks I will be posting things about the products and hopefully some of my creations.  I also will be having a few workshops for Operation Write Home.  We will make cards for soldiers to sent to folks back home.  That is a project that I am very excited about!

Of course I am still having my regular workshops at the First Baptist Church and I plan to add a "Scrappin' Club" at my house.  So stay tuned and get ready to join in the fun!

Until I figure out how to connect all of the links my website is: www.mscrappin.ctmh.com   Check it out!

Sale on Re-released CM Cricut Cartridges

CM Cricut Cartridges are on sale at Cricut.com in case there are some that you would like to purchase.  They were originally $55, on sale for $29.99. They are wonderful and were worth the original $55.  I don't think the Holiday Frames and Tags is available any more however Divine Wedding is.

 





As of today -  Total Sports, Be Young, This & That, Reminisce Accents, Tis the Season, Tiny Treasures,Traveler, Cheerful Seasons, Stork’s Delivery, and  Divine Wedding are at the site.

Also available is Best of Times (see below).  This was created as a Cricut Expressions 2 so there is no overlay.  It is a digital download but can then be used with the Craft Room or Cricut Design Space.


If you are interested in any of these don't wait, check them out today!

Spring Fever!

Spring Fever!  Can it really be 60 degrees?  Feels so great to be outside and not have to wear a winter coat.  I finally made a trip to the recycling center and unleaded my car.  A good feeling for sure.

I thought I would share a "spring" cards I have put together just for the warm weather occasion.  Enjoy and please, no more snow dances!

Snow, Snow and More Snow!

Ok, a little snow is nice to see each year.  However enough is enough!  I am tired of shoveling that white stuff and don't know where I will put what is falling now.  Between the never ending cold weather and now the snow I am ready to hit the road.  Trouble is, I can't see the road.  I guess I am stuck until spring...whenever that is!
So I went out and took some pictures and did a digital layout.  This way I will be able to remind myself why I wanted the hot weather in July!
Enjoy and stop doing your snow dance...please.
