I will be teaching the girls several different techniques to use when creating custom “bling.”  Each participant will be given the supplies needed to use the base & bling supplies to make a holiday ornament FREE of Charge.  this is my holiday gift to them!

Next the girls will be creating different peices with the kit they have pre-ordered.

SEASONAL MASTERPIECE: A Year of Home Decor



SEASONAL MASTERPIECE:  A Year Of Home Decor
Amy McGrew


I absolutely LOVE the Close To My Heart Shadow Box Frame and have had such fun giving it as gifts throughout the year to those near & dear to my heart (it made the BEST holiday gift last season).  
Thus, I thought it would be fun to start a club where members will create an interchangeable seasonal layout to display in this fabulous frame month after month. 
I have hopes that this “club” will attract the novice crafter, as well as, the die-hard scrapbooker/card maker.
The monthly projects will require very little time with little to no left-over products to store at home.  
All papers will be pre-cut so all that is required of you is assembling the precut paper.  You only need to supply your own adhesives.
This club will run October 2015- September 2016.

You can put your project together at my studio and/or the kits can be picked up or shipped to you (postage will be add to your kit total) so that you can put the kit together in the comfort of your own home. 
Each layout you create can be displayed in your shadow box frame.
Create one for yourself and one (or more) to give as gifts!
The first kit includes your frame, thus it will cost more.
All future kits will range between $10-$15.  That’s it! 

The first project is this beautiful “BELIEVE” Christmas Tree layout.




Date: Tuesday,October 13th
Time: 9:30-11:30 a.m OR 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Cost: $43.00


In November we will create this layout

   
                                                                     
                                       

This layout will showcase your favorite 4 x 6 photo.  You can also specify which “word” you want in your kit.  It can be “family”, “cherish”or  “grateful”.
The class will take place: 
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12
9:30-10:30 a.m OR 6:30-7:30 p.m.
COST:  $10.00

ALL THOSE WHO JOIN THIS CLUB ON/BEFORE TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6th
WILL RECEIVE a special 13th KIT FREE OF CHARGE!
Please specify if you would like a white or black shadow box frame upon registering!

Future kit themes: New Years, Valentines, Easter, Spring, Summer, Apples, Pumpkins, Birthday and two more to be decided!

It's In The Bag!

October Greetings!

I LOVE the month of October!  In fact, I am baking Pumpkin Muffins for my kids as I type this message to you!  Everything "pumpkin" comes out beginning on October 1st in the MGrew Household!
The first of every month is always exciting when it comes to Close To my Heart.  And October 2015 will not disappoint any of you!


If you have met me, you know I just love Close To My Heart and preserving our memories!! I became a CTMH Consultant 17 1/2 years ago strictly for the discount.  I had just given birth to my first child and became a stay-at-home-mom.  I needed a discount to support my CTMH addiction!  Little did I know how much MORE being a Close To My Heart Consultant would add to, not only my life, but to my family's life, as well.  Joining Close To My Heart has been the best decision I have ever made, next to marrying my hubby and the birth of our 3 children (who are growing up much too quickly)!  If you have ever thought about or might think about doing what I do- now is the time to do it! If you join in October you will receive a bonus... a beautiful and very trendy cross body bag!!  It is perfect for carrying layouts, paper packs, and projects that are in-progress. For a very small investment, you will be receiving almost $500 in product!!!!! Plus, I can show you how to earn another $775 in goodies.



There are many many things I love about my "job" - making my own hours, meeting new people, making life-long friends, teaching others how to make pretty things, opportunity to travel, great discounts, CONVENTION, getting paid to create and MY TEAM.  My team, "The Heart-Throb's", is a mix of hobbyists and business builders.  We all run our business a little differently...and that is AWESOME!  Everyone and anyone is welcome to my Heart-Throb family.  You might want to join just to receive the discount and support your creative wants (Like I did when I became a consultant!) or you may want to give a go at team building and earn a generous income by getting paid to play.  Whatever your desire...YOU ARE WELCOME HERE!  

 I would love to have a few minutes of your time to share this amazing deal with you! Please feel free to contact me for more details if this is something you would like to explore a bit more.  I am here to answer any questions you may have!
