Dots Scrapbooking is a Close To My Heart consultant blog. Learn about scrapbooking, card-making, digital scrapbooking, Cricut using Artiste, Art Philosophy, Artbooking, Artfully Sent Cricut cartridges.
Close To My Heart will have a new catalog coming May 1, 2019. For consultants, a catalog launch comes a little over a month in advance so we can order and prepare kits for our customers. This is such a fun time for consultants since we get together and ohhh and ahhh over the new papers, kits, complements, etc. We even get to create a little something together and chat about our business and share ideas to help our customers. I've taken the Supply List that was sent to us and put a little video together to pack up all the supplies I will need to create the project that we will be doing. This video is only a basic list of tools I would also bring for a crop. I would add more Tombow if I was going for many more hours or days. I would also add thin cuts, embossing folders, Cricut cartridges, Flip-flaps for fun additions.
I can't wait to see the new catalog!! WooHoo ;-) Most of the supplies and tools can be found on my website at: http://dorothy.ctmh.com
This is a fun little card for St. Patrick's Day. I decided to make my pot of gold in the form of a shaker window and gold sequins. The shamrock from the Lucky Friendship stamp set was perfect! The inspiration came from the Color Dare Color Challenge #332 for St. Patrick's Day.
Lucky Friendship cardmaking workshop kit makes such cheery, fun cards to remind those you care about how much you care about them. These cards are easy and fun to make and not very complicated. You learn 2 techniques for tri-color stamping and neither is hard or complicated. These techniques can be used for your other projects too.
These lovely cards are so artistic. The ease of using watercolor pencils helps to make you feel like an artist even though, like me, you may not be! These cards can be used for any occasion where you want to tell someone they are loved! Even the "happily ever after" cards can be used for more than weddings, they can be used for anniversaries also. I enjoyed making these cards and I give you an easy way to line up your strips of paper without having to think too much. This technique can be used in scrapbooking in addition to card making. You can also use the technique with any papers in your stash that coordinate and create cards, pages or whatever paper project you have in mind.

These are probably some of the prettiest cards made from a kit that I've created. I love this stamp set and the colors of cardstock.
I can't wait to start using my new light tablet by Cutterpillar. I went to the local Scrapbook Expo last weekend with my scrapping friends and came across the Cutterpillar booth. One of the scrappers loves their paper trimmer so we decided to stop and chat with this nice family that owns the business. They were showing their 3 light tablets and the self-healing mats that come with each one. They also have a tempered glass mat. The very coolest thing about the mats is that they designated the measurement lines with 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/9, 3/4, 7/8! So now you know which line is the eighth of an inch!!! How great is that?!!!
Because of the LED technology, the tablet stays cool to the touch and can be switched between 3 light settings. I got the tablet that plugs in but there is one that has a rechargeable battery and also one that is about 19" x 25".
This tablet will be great for "weeding" Cricut cuts and thin cuts. Placement ant cutting will be more precise with the added light, especially for those of us whose eyesight is becoming more troublesome and needs more light to see. With back lighting you won't be making your own shadow!
Anyway, whatever the use, I am looking forward to using it!
