And the adventure begins ...

Well, here it is, my very first blog post! I am super excited to start this new journey in my life! Gone are the days spent in the corporate world and now I am embracing my inner artist. I took the first step towards sharing my passion for scrapbooking and card making with others by becoming a Close To My Heart (CTMH) Independent Consultant! How do you like that title? I’m a consultant – it’s official!

For those of you not familiar with CTMH, it is a wonderful company that offers beautiful scrapbooking papers and colored cardstock, coordinating ink pads and markers, as well as amazing acrylic stamps. We also offer essential tools and fabulous embellishments to take your paper crafting to the next level. We even have two, exclusive to CTMH, Cricut cartridges and numerous stamp sets that coordinate with the Cricut shapes. How cool is that?!

Whether you are a long time CTMH aficionado or new to the company and/or the world of paper crafting, be sure to check out the Autumn/Winter 2012 Idea Book on my web site. Tons of fun new products became available on August 1^st. There are so many wonderful new items including eight new paper collections, alcohol marker duos, and the huge Artiste Cricut collection (over 700 images!).

And if that isn’t exciting enough, September is National Stamping Month. CTMH is celebrating now through September 30^th by offering the My Acrylix® It’s Your Day double stamp set for the amazing price of $5!! Place a minimum qualifying order of $35 and you can buy the “It’s Your Day” double stamp set for only $5!! That’s nearly 50 images for just $5 (retail value $35.90).  If you really want to maximize your saving, make a $50 qualifying purchase and then you can also buy the Baroque Borders Stamp of the Month for $5 (a $17.95 retail value)!!

Be sure to bookmark my web site, subscribe to my blog, and share both with your paper crafting friends. I will be posting pictures of my artwork and sharing the many ways you can create memorable scrapbooks and lovely cards using CTMH products. Please join me on my adventure!
