Hello friends! I am so excited that I am allowed to stay with CTMH. I was told I had to choose between CTMH and using digital stamps as they were no longer going to allow me to use them and still be a consultant.
I was given permission 7 yrs. ago to use Digital stamps and to be on any Design teams; as long as I was not selling their products for money; which I am not. Then someone reported me, stating that I was selling digital stamps; so there was an investigation.
I went through the month of January voicing my opinion and trying to figure out how I could stay and still keep using the digital stamps. I was told I couldn't stay and had already given all my customers to other consultants; and then I received an email last night to tell me that things had changed and I was going to be allowed to stay as a CTMH Independent Consultant. I feel very blessed for this to have worked out the way I wanted it to. I am very excited to still be a part of this fabulous company.
I love my digital stamps and I use both digital stamps as well as regular stamps. I can't imagine my life without both of them. They each serve a different purpose to me. I color these gorgeous images so that I don't focus on my pain. Working with my customers with CTMH helps me to focus on someone other than myself; which also makes me feel better. Plus I love giving things away and making others happy.
CTMH has a fabulous clearance sale going on with some really low prices; so be sure to click her to find out what is still available. Only while supplies last.
I decided to take another class with Kit and Clowder on coloring fur with pencils. I wasn't very good at it; so I thought I could use the help. Alyce is an excellent teacher and I love being able to watch the videos and learn at my own speed online; rather than actually attending a class in person. I wasn't completely satisfied with my coloring of this sweet bear; but I am happy that I took the class. I still prefer to color with Copics; but I want to learn how to use pencils as well.
This sweet bear comes in a set of 3 different ones.
