A Series from the Heart Part II

The Close To My Heart 2015 Convention was truly life changing!!!

 
The best of both worlds!
 
 There is, naturally, the creative side;

 The new catalog preview, 'Hands On' making amazing crafts, Stickyboy,
inspirational seminars and the like. 
 
 Then there was the business side;

 Not sure why, but this year REALLY spoke to me. I had the honor of
attending Leadership Day (well, part anyway, I flew in that morning so
I missed half of it. MY LOSS!!!) and that was AMAZING!!! Actually, all
of the business events were amazing! The company seems to be going
out of its way to help the consultants that want to grow their business
succeed! (Not to say they haven't always done so, it just seems to be
on steriods this year! Lol!)
 
Once I got home I had to step back, unplug (Yes, even went 'dark' on FB!)
and soak it all in and looked deep within myself and had to ask; "Is
this REALLY what you want Jamie?" I had to really think this through.
I had some really incredible conversations with some very important
people at CTMH and I was left inspired, motivated and ready to accept
the challenges placed before me! (This is above and beyond the other
challenges I had already agreed to do...)

Oh, and the answer to question I had asked myself?

"Hell yeah!!!"

You see, I realized that not only do I truly want this, in some aspects I
feel that I need it as well! It is cathartic in ways, enjoyable, fufilling,
challenging, fun, creative, lucrative and rewarding on so many levels.

There we go...a rough mission statement.

(More to come: The challenges...)
 

A Series from the Heart Part I

Well, here it is...


What is close to MY heart?

It IS Close To My Heart!!!

I am so happy to be a part of such a wonderful company!

While I have never actually met the founder Jeanette Linton she truly
reminds me of my mother. I wish they could have met! Some of you
knew my mom and the running joke in the family was that she had
taught Martha Stewert everything she knows. She was the 'Martha'
of her time. Jeanette's talent, passion and character are so similar
to my mom's that I can't help but want to be a part of her company!

But it is more than that...

It is the people. All the people at the home office. Everyone who I
have had any contact with are just wonderful people! It doesn't matter
whether they are working in the warehouse or running the whole show,
they sincerely care about each and every one of us that is involved
with CTMH.

I am exteremly blessed to be a part of such a wonderful company!!!

Much more to come...

My personal challenge...or, Watch This Space!


So my favorite guest artist Marcia was working on a card idea for the upcoming
Close To My Heart Convention at Disneyland
this is what she started with...


Well, she ended up going a COMPLETELY different direction
(will post a link to her 'real' card after it is on her blog)
so I decided I would let this be MY inspiration for a card to take to Convention!
 
I instantly knew what changes I wanted to make!
I will tell you one and the rest you will have to wait
for the updated post when I finish my card! 

Okay, as simple as it sounds
I think it will make a major change...
I will be making 'shadows' of the hexagon pieces that I use.

The rest you'll just have to wait and see!
 
Watch This Space!!!

http://macsisak.ctmh.com/Retail/Search.aspx?SearchValue=ice+cream

Something wicked this way comes...

(Okay, just so we are all on the same page, when I said 'wicked' I of course meant that in the way they say "wicked" in the world of Harry Potter! You know, like "ultra cool!", "fanTASTIC!!!" and the like. Great! Now that we have that settled...)

Brace yourself for: Something new! Something fun!! Something educational!!!

Crafting with Sock Monkey!!!!

Our lovely Guest Artist is BACK!!! With a special Thank You!

It s a special day here at Travels Through Life!!!

Our favorite Guest Artist is back!

 
Marcia Macsisak the owner of the blog: Cards With Marcia
 
was kind enough to let us show of her latest card even before her own blog has it!
 
She even included the original sketch she came up with for the vacuum cleaner.
 
www.cardswithmarcia.blogspot.com
 
While you cannot really see it the 'Thank You' above is in gold foil!
 
www.cardswithmarcia.blogspot.com
 
What is amazing is that the vacuum is not a Cricut Shape!
Well, it is a variety of shapes cut using the Cricut but not a pre-made
design, that is why this card is amazing!!!


www.cardswithmarcia.blogspot.com
 
This was the original sketch of what Marcia wanted to vacuum to look like.
I think she was spot on with the final product!
 
Keep your fingers crossed!  I'm begging Marcia to make another one so
I can video it and share how she did it with everyone!
 
Come on!  Post some encouraging comments and also check out Marcia's Blog too!!!
 
(and Marcia...you are welcome!  Thanks for the fabulous card!!!)

Life is better...



Yesterday I had the privilege to attend a wonderful Close To My Heart event; Making Connections.

One of things we did was to crush one of the Close To My Heart My Crush Books. We used the My Crush For Her book  (Z3081 $10.95) and made 2 layouts and 6 cards!

I plan on doing a Workshop on this soon!

Join my Close To My Heart team: Travels Through Life and I will show you how to have your own My Crush Book Workshop!!!

Matter of fact, if you join now depending on where you live you might still be available to attend one of the CTMH Making Connections events near you!!!

Email me for more info or go here to join my team!

My S(?)he Art


She Art
 
If you do not already know what She Art is Google it now and look at 'images'.  That will give you an excellent idea to what She Art is!
 
Since I am not a 'She' this is an example of my 'He Art'...



 
When I did my Google search I was immediately drawn to a wonderful photo of a face (go to the link below and it is the last photo of Sara's She Art project) staring back at me!
 
Now honestly, when looking at my She Art I have NO IDEA how I went from that face to what I made but I am in Sara's debt for her inspiration on my first She Art project!!!
 
 
All of my project was done with Close To My Heart products!
 
Go hear to see what wonderful items you can find for you own She Art!!!

Just Clowning Around...

While, naturally my first love is Close To My Heart I am going to start using up all my old papers that I have lying around.  This card is actually made with the CTMH Autumn Terracotta 1270 as the base of the card and the Clown Paper was from an offer I just could not resist!  A place up the way had a sale going on and there was a table of paper '5lbs for $1.00'. (Who could resist that, right?) Well, most of it was faded solid colors and then I saw a small piece of the clown paper sticking out and pulled out the whole stack and for less than $2.00 I was out the door!  Lol!
 
My Mojo Monday!
 
 
I'm ready for my Close-up!
 
 
Details, details...
 

All done! (Well, almost...)

The Clown Paper is called Le Cirque Collection from graphic 45 papercrafting but alas the copyright is from 2011 so not sure if anyone still has it.

The only Close To My Heart item was the plain card stock that I mentioned AND the AMAZING CTMH Scissors!!! 

I've always liked them just fine but only used them here and there for a quick cut BUT that changed when I made this card!!!  This cute flying clown above was trimmed around using these FAB scissors!!!
 
Here is more information:
 
BUY THESE NOW!  Seriously, they are THAT great!!!
 
 
Super FAB scissors!!!
