Welcome

Hello out there! I am Jessica a mother of 3 (two boys and a girl), a part time nurse, and a Close to My Heart Independent Consultant.  I have a huge passion for photography and scrap-booking, that has grown over the last ten years as our family has grown.

I joined Close to My Heart this month as our family is moving and I will no longer be in the same city as my consultant. So I thought why not become a consultant and share my love of paper crafting  and meet new people. 

Each day as the move gets closer and becomes more real, (packing has started, our house will be on the market soon, and I am not so patiently wait to hear about our offer to purchase). I have in resorted to pack a box, then have some art therapy time, it is helping me keep my cool.  

My blogs and studio name is Create By The Lake, fingers crossed for a lakeside home. 

Here are some of the cards I have created this week in between packing.

Here is the lot
