Project A Day in May - Day #4


I am privileged to be part of a card swap group that gets together every few months for dinner and to swap cards.  These ladies do amazing work and I am lucky they let me in!  Each time we meet we have a theme.  This month's theme is sympathy cards.  I am really loving the Happy to Be Friends stamp set!  Not sure why I waited so long to get it out and play with it.  The leaves and flowers along with the sentiment are all part of the set!
I pulled out some La Vie En Rose paper from my stash.  The black patterns in that paper packet go with just about anything.  

The cardstock color I used was Sorbet.  I also used Sorbet Ink, Whisper Ink, and Black ink.  The bling is a gold puffie that has sadly retired, but I loved it with this card.

All these items can be purchased (except for the puffies) on my website www.juliescott.ctmh.com.

A Project A Day In May - Day #3


It's that time of year for Mother's Day cards!  I really love how this card turned out.  I was inspired by a card by Michelle Snyder.  This Happy Times Paper is so fun to work with!  I used a little water color behind the sentiment to add a little more color to the white cardstock and added some glam with Gold Shimmer Trim.  I hope the Mother's in my life like there card!



Happy Times Paper Paper Packet is FREE with a $60 purchase or you can buy it for the retail price of $14.95.  So worth it!

The sentiment came from this set called Happy to Be Friends (C1605).  This is my first time using this set even though I have had it in my stash for awhile.  I really love the font and am excited to use it again soon on another project I am working on.

Project A Day in May - Day #2



When I saw the gold foil stripe paper in the Happy Times paper packet I knew it was destined to be a home decor piece.  After spending some time in Europe bikes have taken on a whole new meaning for me.  This will sit in my family room until I finish my Europe scrapbook then it will be my title page for the trip.

I used Artfully Sent to cut the bike and basket.  The flowers were cut from the Artistry Cricut Cartridge.  The gold hearts and circles in the center of the flowers are from the Gold Fundamentals Assortment.  The frame is the Shadow box from Close to My Heart!


This came together so fast and easy and I LOVE it!

Project A Day in May - #1


Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE all things Disney!  When I saw the new paper packet from Close to My Heart I jumped up and down.  It is perfect for Disney or any amusement park photos.  But it is also not so themed that you can use for a lot of different types of projects.  Aren't the colors so bright and fun?

And look at these compliments!  Adorable!

I also used the new White Twine and Sequins that match the paper.

The new Seasonal Expressions has the most fun M Sized Stamp sets.  These little guys are only $2.95!  Bitty Birthday is my new fast favorite I know I will use over and over again.

Regatta Paper Packet

I really love the color combo used in the Regatta Paper Packet!  You can use the paper for just about anything, not just ocean/beach themed projects.  Here are few projects I have been working on for our upcoming Craft Night.  We will be learning how to make easy pop up cards.

Pop Up Cards Outside
I like to keep these pretty simple because the real wow is inside!

Inside the card.  Each element is popped up to add fun and dimension to the card.  I had to add googly eyes to the octopus.  He was just too cute.


Layout:  We are taking a family vacation to the beach this year.  I can't wait to put our beach pictures on these pages.



A non beach themed card.  See how the patterns and colors work so nicely with any theme?  Love it!

Join the Crew!


I don't think I have ever shared my feelings about being a Close to My Heart Consultant.  I have talked about the wonderful products and shared all the fun things I have made, but not WHY I do what I do.

Why did I join CTMH 11 years ago?
  • I LOVED the product!  I had never used CTMH products or even stamped before, but I loved what I saw in the catalog and went for it (I have learned a lot since then!)
  • I had just had my first baby and I wanted to stay home with him, so earning extra money for my family doing something I loved was very appealing.  
It was as simple as that!  I found a consultant, Lori.  She was great to answer all my questions.  I used my Christmas money (the consultant kit cost a lot more back then) and I signed up in January of 2005. Little did I know how that decision would change my life for the better!

Why Do I Stay?
  • Crafty Friends!  I have made life long best friends!  They have supported me not only in my business, but my personal life.  I love being able to play with them at team meetings and corporate events.
  • Girls Night!  When I "work" I get to play with my customers who have become my friends as well.
  • Close to My Heart stays on trend and gives consultants first dibs on the new products to play with!  It is like Christmas every time a new idea book is released.
  • The endless supply of ideas CTMH provides for consultants.  A little secret I will let you in on, I don't come up with all my creations on my own (gasp!).  I use the tools and ideas CTMH provides and then share them with you.
  • My craft supplies are paid for!  I NEVER use my family budget on my crafting supplies.  I get a discount and they are delivered right to my door!  CTMH offers so many supplies I rarely need to go to an actual craft store for supplies to finish my projects.
  • A mental health professional once told me that finding a hobby is the best thing you can do for yourself and your mental health.  Making money while enjoying your hobby is even better.
There is just something magical about Close to My Heart that I can't put in to words.  It is something you have to experience for yourself.  It sounds so cheesy, but it's true!

Just some of our amazing team of consultants at convention 2015.  
These ladies have become some of my bestest friends

I invite you to join the Close to My Heart family and to see for yourself what a special company it truly is.  There is no harm in trying the company out for yourself.  If you don't love it as much as I do, that's okay we will still be friends.  If you don't try, you will never know.


April is the perfect month to join!   Close to My Heart has updated their consultant kit to make it even better!  And why did they do that?  Because consultants ask them to, and they did it!

This is the kit and it only cost $75!  Plus you get $50 special product credit to spend how YOU want!

What is included in the kit?
  • Medium Organizer
  • 2 acrylix blocks
  • micro-tip scissors
  • stamp scrubber
  • spritz cleaner
  • bonding memories glue
  • 3-D foam tape
  • sponge
  • idea books and order forms
  • cardstock sampler, fundamentals paper sampler, and pattern paper sampler
  • Petite Perks stamp sets (little sets you can use as giveaways)
  • Party Invites
  • Desk Pad

Let's talk about the Select Product credit.  You get $50 of select product credit which means you can CHOOSE any stamp sets, paper packets, stamp pads, shin han markers, compliments, cardstock, PML cards, and workshop kits!  This is AMAZING!

During April ONLY when you JOIN Close to My Heart you can earn a FREE Cricut Cartridge OR another $100 in select product credit WHEN you submit $350 in sales within your first 30 days!  Don't be scared, CTMH has some wonderful tools to help you and I am here to help you reach your goals!

I have a group of amazing ladies on my team.  My team is called The Creative Crew, and we would love to have you aboard!  Click HERE to join my team!
