December Blog  Merry Christmas and welcome to our December Blog. This month it is all about Christmas gifts, and we have a lot on offer with Close To My Heart.  This is a blog hop and if you have come from Wendy Watson then you are on the right path.  And I guess you are wondering what I have done??  Well above is a lovely White Pines page in our Colonial White Frame. This was done by our amazing Art Department with Close To My Heart. So I got to thinking about some of those interesting people that you want to give something special to but not really sure what to give. Some home baking is great but it is hard to package nicely. So I went to my cricut machine and found a great pie container on p. 70 in the Artiste Cartridge book! Absolutely perfect for my wedges of shortbread!! Next, I choose the paper and of course it had to be the White Pines as it is one of my favourite Christmas paper packs.  As I wanted to put as many pieces of shortbread in as possible

November Blog Hop

I wonder if you were able to watch the TV show by Jill about our Water Paints?? And now we are doing another Blog Hop!! This is fantastic as you can have so many different ideas with Water Paints in a matter of a few clicks!! Oh what fun we shall have this month!! If you have arrived here from Wendy's fantastic page then you are on the correct Water Paints Blog Hop!! I had so much fun creating these lovely pages below, which I entered into the Consultant Page Competition at our Australian Conference. The buildings started by using the November Stamp Of The Month, then I painted over the top of them.  Then I just played with the sky until it flowed.  To complete the painting I just did it slowly (had lots of fun!) Painted a bit and then let it dry to see what it was like, then did another layer!! This is great as you can just build the colour up slowly!! The star I created by hand with white and gold heat embossing to give the special effects. Used 3D foam tape t

Have you seen our water paints?

You know I never thought I would like Water Painting. But I have been inspired by some of our amazing consultants and now I love our Water Paints. Here is a fantastic TV Show (click on TV Show to see the clip) by Jill from Close To My Heart. It gives us all some fun tips and ideas on how to use our Water Paints.  Please come back to this blog to see some more creations using our Water Paints!!

My first Blog Hop!

Welcome to my very first blog hop, I'm so excited. If you're not sure what a Blog Hop is, it's a number of blogs, connected in a great big circle, all sharing ideas on the same theme or topic. This Blog Hop is from our CTMH team...we love sharing ideas together, and this is a way to share with all of you as well! This month's Blog Hop is focusing on our wonderful new Annual Inspirations Idea Book 2015 - we have all chosen our favourite new products being released this month. If you have come here from Wendy's Blog then you're on the right track. So what is my favourite product?? I am in love with the new Fundamental Paper Pack - Enchantment.  This pack has some of my favourite colours in it, like eggplant and sapphire.  I also love how versatile the patterns on the paper are. One side has the pattern in gloss and the other side has the pattern in white!! You can match different colours from the same paper pack, or the same pattern from different paper packs

Welcome

Welcome to my very first  post on my Blog! I am very excited to begin this new adventure and I hope we will all enjoy the many things to come. The very first thing I wish to share with you is this wonderful new video from Close To My Heart. I love how it captures the many different reasons behind what I do -  the many different ways we can use our photos and our paper craft to connect with friends and family.
