Happy Friday! 
I have been busy making my first order of cards! I am so grateful to Laurie Beltran of Modern Woodmen for trusting me to make cards for her business! I love creating and this was a tall order...an assortment of 24 cards. I had a lot of fun coming up with different designs. I will post pictures as soon as I deliver the cards to Laurie. I want to make sure she is happy with her purchase.

Remember that I can also create scrapbook layouts, mini-albums and tags. I have been working on a questionnaire to handout to my customers so that I can make exactly what you want or need. Turnaround time depends of the size and quantity of the project. Prices will range depending on level of complexity of the project. I am working on a price list so that you can see what your money will get you. Tags range between $2 - $5; cards can be anywhere from $2 - $10. Scrapbook layouts will be $5 per page. Mini-albums will start at $30 for a 6x8 size. I know that is pretty vague, but I am working on getting either an etsy shop or a website, once I have everything ready to go, I will post it here. 

Thank you for sharing my link and subscribing. I am so grateful for your support! 

P.S. If anyone is looking for a financial adviser...Laurie Beltran is amazing! Give her a call at (619) 495-9387.

Hugs,
Marissa

Hello! 

When I created this blog in 2014, my goal was to post at least once a month. Back then I was a full-time elementary teacher and a Close to my Heart Consultant. Well, teaching took up most of my time, and with the little time I had left, I created mini-albums, scrapbook layouts and cards for my family. Consequently, I never met my goal.

 I am now retired and have time to dedicate time to my paper-crafting passion! I'm really looking forward to posting my creations on this blog. My hope is that one of you will see something you like and it will inspire you to create something of your own, and if not...perhaps you may consider buying handcrafted, and personalized items from me! 

 This will be my first time selling any of my work. Until now, all of my creations have gone to family members and friends. I've received much feedback and I've been encouraged to sell my work. I hope you find as much pleasure in looking at it, and hopefully buying some of it. Feel free to email me and let me know if there is something specific you are looking for, I may be able to make it for you. 
My email is: msclosetcreations@gmail.com 

Thank you for visiting my blog. It means a lot that you are taking time to read it. I have decided to leave some of the old posts up as they show some of the cards I've made in the past, but have deleted most of the ones related to Close to my Heart, since I am no longer a consultant. If Close to my Heart is mentioned, please disregard :-) 

 Again, thank you for being here! I hope you come back again soon. Don't forget to leave a comment so I know you visited!

P.S.
Here are a few of my Valentine's Day cards...maybe you will see something you like ;-)
This tag just needs a beautiful ribbon and your present will be ready!




This shaker card can be for any occasion!
Look for more all-occasion cards in the next few days!

Hugs, 
Marissa
