Our CTMH Blog Support facebook group has a challenge for us during the month of July. It's a 3/3/1 (3 cards, 3 designs, 1 paper pack) challenge. Below is a pic of my attempt at this challenge.


The Close To My Heart products used include the new Sarita My Reflections paper pack (X7171B), the new August Stamp of the Month (S1308 A Chocolate Affair) available only during the month of August 2013, several of our card stocks & inks, Frosted accessories assortment (Z1890), and our Slate satin polka dot ribbon (Z1802).
I hope you enjoy seeing these. If you see something you like, just send me an email for full instructions and to order your supplies. My email: cynthia_waltman2012@comcast.net or click the Shop Now button  at the upper right and it will take you straight to my website.

Hello Everyone!!
Welcome to my new blog! And a huge THANK YOU for stopping by! Please follow my posts if you'd like. I would love for you to follow along. This blog is going to be a mixture of Close To My Heart (CTMH) stuff and personal stuff as well. Be prepared, I am a new MiMi and I'm inclined to share photos of Mr. Branson Brooks quite frequently.

This is Branson. I call him Little B for short (just for now, he's growing fast; so Little B won't work soon!) He's 4 months old and the sweetest, happiest baby around. I'm just a little bit partial to him & his big brother Trey. Branson is our daughter Bri and her husband Lance's son. They live in Ft. Worth Texas. It's about a 4 hour drive between us. Trey lives here in Tomball with his Mom.
Now for a CTMH post. I've been working this week on what we consultants call a "swap". I chose to use the new ProPlayer paper from the CTMH new fall/winter 2013 idea book. I can't show you my actual work yet until all the other participants have received their items, but I can give you a glimpse of it all laid out on my work table.
This paper pack is great for pages in a boy's album, a gaming birthday party, or I'm betting you could girly it up too! Once everyone receives their swap items, I'll post a better photo of each item.

I've got lots of other works that I can post. I've got to photograph them first :)
I hope you have enjoyed my first post. And I really hope that you'll check back here from time to time.
