Why Memory Keeping Matters

0613-rediscover-CTMH-masthead

Every one has hobby. I have some hobbies, or I call them fun things I love to do as family or just by myself. Two of them are scrapbooking and making cards. I am still learning and exploring my style. So, I join Close To My Heart as an Independent Consultant 3 months ago because they supply what I need for my hobby: papers, kits, stamps, inks, markers, embellishments, tools, etc.

As an Independent Consultant, I am free to manage my own time to do it. I still have the Quite Time with my God on top of my priority, followed by my family, ministry, then my hobby and business. When I joined my friend, Elizabeth’s (she is a wonderful friend and paper crafter!) team, I pray God will bless this not for my own needs, but also use this to bless others, too.

Why Close To My Heart? This is why I choose this paper crafting company and love their products 🙂 I hope after you watch this video, you’ll know why and will love it too!

If you have any questions about Close To My Heart, or anything, please feel free to send me email or leave a comment on this post. I will get back to you as soon as possible 🙂

Wanna Be A Crafty Momma

Today I’d like to share a random things that I like doing it in my life. When first time I came here to States in 2008. Different way of life. Different things to do. Different every thing. I told myself that I would love to have something that I could do to keep me happy and just for having fun when I was at home alone, when my husband went to office or when the baby was sleeping.

I discovered Scrapbooking in 2008 and did our first girl’s 1st year book in 2009. Then at the end of 2010, I found out about digital scrapbooking, which is fun in a different way. I am exploring how to make cards and other crafts like making hair bows, hair clips, head bands, and brooch from fabric and felt. Recently, I am also learning about hybrid crafts that you can use the digital scrapbook kits for any paper crafting. 

My husband got me Silhouette Cameo for my Christmas present and I’ve been playing with it since then. There so many things you can create with this cutting machine. 

For fun, I join several creative teams, too.

Every time I created something, I prayed that God would use it to bless others and in ways to glorify His name. And I still pray that pray.

I have a different blog for my scrapbooking and crafting, you are welcome to visit it at My Scrappy Crafty Life. Oh oh yah there’s a Spring Blog Hop there, if you wanna join the fun. It starts from Scrapping Everyday Miracles blog, the designer team members are a group of wonderful godly women who are sharing their miracles of life and be blessings through their creativities. Check it out while you are there 😀

Thanks for stopping by!

Now, all of MyMemories Friday Freebies will be MyMemories Suite V3 Compatible. What does that mean??.? It means that you can now load the freebies directly into your MyMemories Suite V3 Software, and then completely customize them with any paper and embellishments that you have.

MyMemories Suite V3 is #1 rated digital scrapbooking software. This is the super easy software for digital scrapbooking I ever used! This software can do many things that Photoshop/Photoshop Element can do, and way cheaper! You will find out by yourself what you can create with this software. You can get $10 OFF with my special code STMMMS3393 (sensitive case, just copy and paste the code when you check out). Plus you will get $10 gift certificate to the online digital store. How’s that for saving money? 😀

Tutorial to customize your Purse Cards using MyMemories Suite V3:

1. Download template file and install it into your software
2. Using MyMemories Suite, choose Create Album From Designer Template and find your project
3. Now you can print and enjoy the provided template, or customize it with your own papers and embellishments.

TIP: You can right-click on the white guide and lock it in place to keep it from moving while you are working. Make sure this is the top layer of your project before printing.
Instead of adding the paper as a background paper, you can add it as an embellishment so that you can move the paper around. This is especially useful when using papers with stripes or circles, so you can decide which part of the paper you want to use.
Once it is added as an embellishment, you can now select the paper and move it into the position you want it.

Just SAVE and PRINT on cardstock!

Make An Easy Easel Card

My first easel card

My days were full of excitement and interesting events. We had 2 girls from our church youth group left for college this September. I am so thankful for them because they can continue their study, but also sad because won’t see them for quite a while (hopefully will see them during the Holidays! ^_^)

You how hard is the first couple weeks being away from home, family and friends, so we were encouraged to send them a card or anything to help them to settle down at their dorm and to overcome their homesickness. This is what I did. I made card for one of them today.

This is an Easel Card, a card that you can fold the front to be a standing easel so the recipient can put on the shelf or desk as decoration or memory. Beside that, it’s is also a card challenge from Scrapbook Challenges for this month. If you visit the website here, you will find the card sketch and step-by-step tutorial pictures. I guarantee that it’s easy and fun. It is not only can express your creativity by making this card, but also you can send to someone you know and love.
