Video ~ Be A Consultant ~ Start A New Adventure in 2015!

I thought today I would share a video that Close To My Heart put on youtube called "Be a Consultant: What is a direct sales company?". I thought I would share this video (and another one, called "Be a Consultant: Is there training and support?) because we are at the end of 2014 and getting ready to start 2015...and now is a great time to start a new adventure! So, take a few minutes and check out the videos! If you have any questions or want more information send me an email!

Look How Pretty!

I thought today I'd share a beautiful idea! The CTMH's Art Department made this using the Snowhaven paper pack (X7188B) and the Snowhaven Assortment (Z3008). It's a winter theme but you could change it using a Spring / Summer paper pack and have a whole new theme. I just love it! How about you?!

Video ~ Albums for All ~ You Can't Get Prettier Than These New Albums!

I thought today I would share a video that Close To My Heart put on youtube called "Albums for All". I thought I would share this video because they show the BRAND NEW albums! They are so pretty and colorful! So, take a few minutes and check out the video!

Snowhaven ~ Workshop On The Go ~ Card Kit ~ Fun Paper For Snow Or Winter Cards And Scrapbook Layouts

I thought I would share the paper pack "Snowhaven" with you today. You can buy the Workshop On The Go (G1085). It comes with: "Snowhaven" 2 B&T and 4 cardstock papers, a special D-Size stamp set (can only get this set if you buy the wotg kit), Red Enamel Hearts, Silver Shimmer Trim, 15 cards & envelopes, and an Instructional Brochure (directions to make 3 different cards). 

If your not really into stamping you can buy the paper pack (X7188B) and Snowhaven Complements (X7188C) and make your own designs up. Or, try out one of the How-To Publications: "Make It From The Heart, vol. 1" (9035), "Make It From The Heart, vol. 2" (9042), "Reflections" (9037), "Cherish" (9038), "Imagine" (9039), "Magic" (9040), "Wishes" (9041) or "Originals" (9036) to get ideas. 

And, if you are into stamping...we have a few sets that go great with this paper (there are others that go too...just too many to list...if these don't work for you, just check out the catalog)..."Sheddin' the Slopes" (D1603), "To You and Yours" (B1403), "Polar Bear Holiday" (C1557), "Make It Merry" (D1617), and "Flakey friends" (C1506). 

No matter which way you want to go...you're going to want to order this paper. So, check it out and get to work!

Gift Idea Alert ~ Cupcake Carrier Decorated and Filled With Homemade Cupcakes

I thought I'd share here something I shared on Facebook today. (Who can't use more gift ideas?!) I made these for my son's Cub Scout leader (see the photo of the carrier filled and ready to go for tonight). We may not see them again before the new year and we wanted to say "Thank You" for all they do all year long. I used "Artfully Sent" Cricut Collection to make the vinyl cuts. My son picked the design out. He decided that... it shouldn't be focused on holiday images so the family can use the carrier year-round. I think they came out cute and was pretty easy to put together. The hardest part was not eating the cupcakes!

This carrier was an extra one I made in case I needed a gift for someone I didn't think to put on my list (you know that always happens).

Holiday Gift Ideas! Gift Bag, Key Chains, and Vinyl Cup

I thought I'd share today a few of the gifts I've been working on. They are for a few people at my children's school. I made a few of the cute little bags from a kit from Dawn Heuft (thank you!). I picked a different stamp for the front and I added a tag (which is covered in case the teacher happens to check my blog). I included a key chain (not so easy to get good pictures of the key chains) and candy cane in each bag. For a guy teacher I made the cup (using vinyl and filled it with peppermints). That gift still needs a tag. Let me know which one you like best!

Need A Holiday Gift Idea? These Treat Bags Are Adorable!

I thought today I'd share this cute "Cut Above" (Z2057) treat kit because it's a great idea for gifts to hand out...to teachers, the mail person, your hair dresser...anyone you want to show you appreciate them! The kit has enough to make 10 bags...just stamp and add the stickers to some candy (not included)...and they're ready to hand out.
