You are….. so not modern

I tried. I really did. I wanted to make a clean, simple and modern card.

Ultra-hip color combo of grey and yellow. Check.
Graphic type and pattern. Check.

Clean lines, minimal embellishments, generous white space. Umm… veering off the path.

No distressing. Okay, just forget it.

I can’t. I can’t not distress.

Might as well throw in some glitter and imperfect sewing, while I’m at it. Yeesh.

You can try your own hand at something modern.. or not, with the April Stamp of the Month, “You Are…”

Available only in April, you can purchase the Stamp of the Month for just $5 with a $50 order on my Close to My Heart website. You can also order it without any additional purchase required for retail value of $17.95.

Almost Ready!

Good things take time.
I know, I know… I promised the 10 page online workshop would be ready for purchase on Monday, but I need a few more days. I’ve been working my tail off but it’s just not there. Lots of details to double check.

The good news is that it’s gonna be fabulous, and you will love the full color cutting guide and the Work with Me videos. And you’ll also be able to qualify for the Dotty for You paper pack for just a few dollars more, added onto your workshop purchase. So sit tight! I won’t promise a date, but I will finish it this week and put it up as soon as I can!

Updated Tues. 4/10: CTMH consultant kit will be released at the same time. No need to email me prior to the release. There will be a link right here on the blog, just for consultants to purchase a mini kit or full kit.
