Sneak-A-Peek @ New Summer Products

Alright! I don’t want to give too much away, but Close To My Heart’s new Summer Idea Book is going to be revealed May 1st and I’m dying to share just a few little sneak peeks with you!

With each new Close To My Heart Idea Book, my wonderful Stampers from the Heart Team participates in my Tri-Annual Idea Book Swap so that we all are able to receive some wonderful new samples of all the new kits that come out.

There are some amazing benefits to participating in this swap and it’s always such a treat to receive everyone’s swap items and to see the creativity each consultant comes up with using new products.

For the new Summer Idea Book swap, I chose a darling new kit called, Animal Cookies. It is so bright and colorful! The featured colors of the kit are Dutch Blue, Clover Meadow, Sunflower & Tulip. It has a great variety of B&T Duos that will work well with all different themes including zoo, baby, birthday, valentines, spring, summer, and much more.

So, I thought I’d share with you the makings of one of my swap items, an 8-1/2” x 3” card created from the new Wishes Card Confidence Book that will be available in the upcoming weeks!

Here is what I started with…

a little ric rac, organdy ribbon, jute, clear buttons, paper, stamps & ink.

and this is what I ended up with…

Like I said…it’s a little sneak peek. I will have so much more to share with you after May 1st! Stop by MyCTMH website (www.pamela.myctmh.com) to see the online edition on May 1st.  You are going to love this new Idea Book…it’s incredible!!!

If you are in my local area, I hope you will make plans to join me and my wonderful Stampers from the Heart Team on Saturday, May 2nd for our annual Scrapbook Fiesta day to celebrate National Scrapbook Day and to help benefit Operation Smile. For more information, please email me at pamela@myctmh.com.

Sweet blessings to you all,

When it gets quiet…beware!

Little hands make big messes! But, being the scrapbooker that I am…

how could I resist this photo op!

Happy Anniversary…to me!

I took off work a little early today for several reasons. The 1st being that it is Mike and I’s 18th anniversary. I’m amazed that it’s been 18 years (19 years since out 1st date, Friday the 13th). I am so grateful for Mike. We have had our fair share of difficulties over the years, but I wouldn’t change any of it because neither one of us would be who we are today. God has been with us through it all and brought us through it all as well.

When I got home, my oldest daughter said it couldn’t be our anniversary because dad had already given me flowers a few weeks ago…

I told her that he did that just because he loves me and it really is our anniversary today, April 13th.

Anyway, the other reason I took off was so I could get everything together for my scrapbook club gatherings that are this week. We will be creating six two-page layouts using CTMH’s Stardust Workshop on the Go. I needed to draw cutting diagrams, make up the class kits and get my things organized….that way I could enjoy Mike and I’s evening together.

Here is a little sampling of what we will be creating Tuesday and Thursday evening. Once I get my journaling done on my pages, I will share some better pictures.

May you have a blessed day,

He is Risen! Happy Easter…
