'Free to Be Me!'

I was so excited about this promotion the minute I saw it! May is National Scrapbooking Month and Close to My Heart ALWAYS gives us a Fabulous promotion! I look forward to it every  year! 

I have created a Fantastic Workshop using the Free to Be Me Collection, I hope you love it as much as I do! 

If you'd like to create these workshop projects for yourself, It's Easy as can be! There are a few different options but first let me share a few more photos of the projects! :) 

Here is Layout #1 

Here is Layout #2 

Here is Layout #3 This layout also includes a 'Folding Photo Gallery'! The files include a tutorial to show you how to create the Folding Gallery as well as a tutorial to show you how to alter a page protector to allow for interactivity of the gallery! 

*Note...for those who always ask about my kiddo...All of these layouts showcase photos of him.  Layout #3 also showcases his Best Friend, Jade.  Jade has Down Syndrome and Cody has Autism...both boys are in the same grade and have been been best friends since they first entered the school district many years ago. They share a very special friendship.  They are a blessing to each other, just as they are to everyone who knows them. :) 

Now...something New! The previous workshops I've created were compiled of Layouts only, this workshop has a 'little bit extra'! 

I had lots of scraps left over from the layouts and I couldn't see NOT using them.  While creating a 4th layout would have been challenging the cards were a snap! 

Not only will the files contain a cutting guide for all (3) Layouts, it will include (10) Greeting cards as well! Two each of the (5) Cards pictured below. 

For Even more detailed photos please visit my CTMH Business Facebook Page ----> HERE 

As you can see, this paper collection really STRETCHED! :)

A little more Timberline Action!

Throughout April we're Celebrating FREE CRICUT CARTRIDGE COLLECTIONS so I thought I'd start with an Artbooking Project! 

I am SO In LOVE with this TIMBERLINE paper Collection! I think off all the Paper Collections introduced throughout my 5 years of being a consultant it is by FAR my favorite! 

I Love it all! The Complements, The Embellishment Assortment with the little wooden trinkets and the pins....the Triangle Studs! The Wood Grain Washi Tape! Really, What's NOT to Love?! 

And How about the Artbooking Overlay?! Those Chevrons are just Darling, aren't they? I used a few of my scraps left over from my project to 'back' it in various patterns - Perfect! 

I just really enjoy all aspects of this layout! I hope you do too! 

Do you have the Close to My Heart Artbooking Cartridge yet? Did you know you can get it for FREE this month when you join my JUST CRAZY BLESSED CTMH Team?! 

No, don't stop reading - this is not a trick, it's not a sales gimmick! 

The New Consultant kit (pictured above) is worth over $300 all by itself.  It costs $99 to become a consultant so it's super exciting to get over $300 in products for that original $99! 

BUT...in April Close to my Heart is throwing in an added bonus! Your Choice of our (3) Exclusive Cricut Cartridge Bundles (worth $99)! 

What if you 'Don't want to sell Close to My Heart Products'? No worries, you don't have to!

You can enjoy our 'CTMH Family' (the Best)...Corporate training videos focusing on business, products, as well as personal creativity, a 22% (minimum) discount/commission on all purchases for both you and your friends/customers, a FREE WEBSITE, and MORE! I will be here with you step by step...and who knows, Close to my Heart might just be the PERFECT fit for you! 

Who ever would have thought you could own your own business for only $99?  Ooopps, I almost forgot! Just by hitting a 3-month sales goal Close to My Heart will REFUND the $99 you paid for the Kit.  You will also receive a $50 shopping spree from me! :) 

I honestly could talk about this all day long! If you'd like to visit with me about it Message me on my CTMH Facebook Page or email me at sus-williams@hotmail.com.  It will be my pleasure to talk with you about any questions you might have! 

Additionally, I'd like to add, if you feel your strengths may not lie in creativity or if you feel like you can not seem to find time in your day to design a project to support your business - No Worries!

Another Starburst with Balloon Ride!

Yesterday I shared my first layout in my upcoming Balloon Ride Starburst Workshop...Today I want to share the second! :)

On This layout I created the Sunbursts solely out of the Glitter Paper! I really wish I could capture the Vibrant shine of the Glitter paper with my camera but after many tries I couldn't' make that happen. 

The Chipboard Complements were SO perfect for  a New Born Baby Boy layout...unfortunately my 'baby boy' photos are almost 11 years old now and already in albums. Vacation photos will just have to do. :) 

I am planning on having this workshop ready to go next week! I've been working like crazy to get it finished but each of the 3 layouts have their own starburst tutorial in addition to the cutting guides and the other files included so it's taking quite a bit longer than my previous workshops! 

Speaking of......Have you seen the other 2 workshops I'm offering right now? 

Click { HERE } to see my TIMBERLINE Post and find out how you can get your hands on it today! :)
