Design Team: It's that time again

Pin It Good morning dear scrappers,

This is Veronica from Vicky's Scrapping Passion sharing with you a birthday card I made using an image from the sponsor for this month:

I used an Atlantic Hearts sketch, which I used last time too to guide my card and CTMH papers and stamps for the sentiment in the outside and inside:

This was a very easy to make card and showcases how cool are the Kitty Bee's designs images.

BTW, Big welcome to the new designers on the blog: 

Marji Franklin, Sue Kracker, and Shannon Myiow. I really look forward to be inspired and challenged to do my best too by you and your amazing designs.

First off, I want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of you for making my blog what it is today! I never thought in a million years I would have so many followers, be hosting challenges, have spectacular sponsors, and even my own design team! I appreciate you all so much!! This hop is dedicated to you!! My way of giving back to you all!! I hope that you will continue to stick around in 2017 to see what we have in store for you!! New in the horizon will be our first ever Cyber crop! And I can not wait!!

If you know anything about me, you know I am WILD about scrapbooking and cardmaking and that's why my blog is wild animal themed! I just love animal prints too!

So my friends that joined me for this special celebration are bringing out their inner Wild child and sharing projects using either animal prints or featuring wild animals.

As I always say..It's a ZOO in here but I wouldn't have it any other way! I hope you enjoy this hop and thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me the past 8 years!!

On to my projects...

First up I made a few pillow boxes to hold movie tickets for a few special ladies in my life. Thought it would be cute to decorate them with animal print paper, washi tape, and of course some Miss Kate SVG files.

Next up I have a 2 page layout that is from a kit I bought at the scrapbook expo. I had to have it, well, just because of the wild animals! They are super cute! I am not a huge fan of this kit to be honest...I had to fussy cut everything out and they are laser printed so everything is flat. I really do prefer piecing my images. But none the less I hope you love the layout!

I tried to add dimension by pop dotting some of the images and inking!

I think this would be great for a baby's album or for a zoo trip!!

 Up next is my amazingly talented friend Christi!!

YouTube Tuesday-New Year/New Opportunity

Pin It
Hello everyone, it's Kim from Katydid Cards with another YouTube video.

At the start of each New Year, we take stock and decide to try to improve in certain areas.  One area where many look to improve is with finances, so I thought I 's share a bit about the Close to My Heart business opportunity.

In their own words:

Discover the rewards that await you when you become a Close To My Heart Consultant, including a generous discount on crafting products and lots of opportunities to meet new people, learn new skills, and even earn some extra income!

This video will tell you a little more.

If you would like to start your own business in 2017 or if you want addition information, just e-mail Connie at conniecancrop@yahoo.com and she can walk you through the process.

See you soon with another YouTube video.
