I love my career with Close To My Heart!  I have achieved so much in such a short time.  If you're wondering what I've achieved I'll tell you!  I haven't made too much money yet but that's ok.  I didn't join for the money.  I have accomplished a goal that I have wanted to achieve forever!  My scrapbooking!  I have completed my 1 year old first year within 3 months!  This was a task that I never thought I could complete!  I am working on my 15 year old daughter's now!  That may take a while, but I'm up for the challenge!

Studio J is my savior when it comes to scrapbooking in a fast pace!  I am a mother of three and very busy!  Also with little or no money, Studio J is ideal for me!  I can work on saving the money and scrapbook throughout the month and have enough money saved up to complete 10 layouts!  Less than $70.00 a month for all 10!  I think that is pretty cool! 

Contact me today to learn how fun it is to use Studio J!  I love how easy it is to complete one layout and still have time to cook dinner!  I'm a busy person and Studio J just makes "cents" to me!

  Just wanted to post this cake!  I love making cakes for people!  I think what I enjoy most is their excitement when they see their cake complete.  I occasionally do a cake out of my head but usually I'm searching the Internet for ideas!  I love looking at other people's cakes online!  Their are so many talented people in this world!  This world should be a better, happier place with all the cake bakers!

   I haven't been able to make cakes for a while because of my hands.  I'm sure tomorrow I will hurt but so far I haven't felt the pain.  I try hard to make people happy and it feels good to have a talent that gives someone happiness!  I have only had one cake that was very hard to complete because the customer was very picky!  But I pulled through and did my best! I try to tell people "if you send me a picture you like, it will look somewhat like it but not exact!"  

The bottom cake is white with my "wedding Icing" not sure what to call it because it's not technically butter cream because it doesn't have butter in it.  So I just call it my wedding icing!  I found a recipe for homemade fondant and it tasted much better than store brand.  But it was harder to handle.  This was my first try at it so hopefully it will get better when I try it again!  Here is the link to the recipe.  Allrecipes.com

  This cake was an inspiration from www.pinkcakebox.com.  Her name is Anne Heap and they are in New Jersey!  Sometime I wish I lived in New York because all my favorite cake artists live in the surrounding area!!!

For mother's Day I decided to use my Dotty For You paper and make a bouquet of flowers!  I love my Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge! The Cricut Art Philosophy Collection is just $99.00 which includes a cartridge with 700 images, 3 My Acrylix D size stamp sets, and 3 9" x 12" Dimensional Elements.  I am new at using the Cricut and only have two cartridges.  I have yet to buy any more because the Art Philosophy has it all! 
  I would love to show you how to make these flowers!  Contact me Today!!!!

Oh and my Mom and Mother In Law loved their flowers! 

Happy Scrappin!

   I've been having so much fun with the New Stella Collection that I haven't done anything with the other packets!  I know eventually I will have to because I'm slowly running out of Stella paper!
   Here is another layout that I just finished!  I can't believe how many different creations you can actually make with the Workshop on The Go!  I have only used two colonial white 12 x 12 sheets extra!  I love the colors!!!!  I've been googling the Stella Collection and have found some very cute ideas!  It is such a great motivation to see others creating beautiful artwork! 

I still need to find the right picture for this layout!  I always make the layouts first and then search for that perfect picture to display!  I love this one so much I didn't want to add anything to it!

I hope that one day I will have more people to follow my work!  I just love Close To My Heart and think everyone should at least experience it once in their lives!  If you don't scrapbook that's ok, I can teach you how to make a card to mail to a special person in your life!  They will cherish the card forever!!!  I still have cards that I don't want to give away because they are so Cute!

Happy Scrappin!

Have I said how much I love Studio J!  I miss it so much because it has been a month since I've been able to start scrapbooking online!  I have been so busy working on my business, taking classes, and getting ready for my first show!  I love how easy Studio J is for anyone!  You don't have to be computer savvy to know how to work it.  Just start uploading your pictures from your computer and begin searching for your perfect collection and layout!  "Let Me Show You How!"  That is a great motto for Close To My Heart~  I love showing people how easy it is to scrapbook without getting out the scissors, paper, stamps, ink pads, and so on!  For those of you that are busy moms you can completely get a book completed in no time at all!  If interested call me or log onto my site http://www.tinasuchy.ctmh.com/.  I can't wait to hear from you!

I am so excited to start selling Close To My Heart!  Hopefully I will make some extra money too!  Right now my goal is to at least have one workshop a month and possibly have 3 Home Gatherings a month! My sweet Mother Toni is helping me.  Our Director calls us TNT!  Hopefully this will at least pay for our habit!  I love the products and the new line of paper is beautiful!  You have so many to choose from and they all have so many possiblities!

My favorite is the Stella Collecion.  I have been playing around with the paper and making some real cute cards that were shown on the Workshop on the Go Kit!  This Kit is truly amazing!  So many different ways to use this collection!  I myself love to make cards! They are so easy to do.  I didn't even really use an actual template that gave measurements.  I just began copying off the picture and wow I loved how they turned out!

I would love to show you how to make these beautiful cards!  Contact me today!!!

I am a Daughter, Sister, Wife, and a Mother!  I love all of my roles and treasure each one!  I am also a Baker!  I love to bake.  My mother was a baker and her mother a baker, and so on and so on!  I make cakes, cookies, and any type of dessert I can find!  But my passion was and always will be 3D cakes!  My passion started so long ago I can't even remember my first cake!  I started baking cakes when my Best Friend got married and my Mother and I drove all the way to Clay County to put it all together!  Since then I have always had a cake or two or three every week!

Recently my hands have taken a terrible spell of pain. My Husband and Doctor have requested me to slow down on baking cakes.  Sadly I have stopped making cakes for the loving fans that I have gained over the years!  I still try to make a cake or two but just not in one day!  If you've ever had your dream taken away from you, you know how hard it is to accept.  Well I will just share some of my creations to you and hope that you can re-create something that I have made in the past! 

Always dream and love each one of them!
