Make It From Your Heart

There are so many fun things that happen at convention! I can tell you I way beyond thrill to be heading to my very first Convention with Close to My Heart. There was a super fun schedule of lots of business meeting along with creative sessions. What more could you hope for? Did I mention we are at Disneyland!! Amazing I know!

There are so many chance to share your creativity when we are there. There is a Creative Showcase where consultants can share there artwork with other consultants...What a great way to be inspired and share your love of all things paper! I am participation in this evening. Can't wait!

There is also a Layout Contest, we were given a theme and the requirements for the layout. The theme for this years event for "Make It From Your Heart". This is what Jeanette says to all the consultants as she signs off.

I thought that I would share my layout with all of you!!


The right hand side looks different because it has the page protector on it still. It was really the only way to show the layout because  the heart are in a FlipFlap attached to the page protector. I felt the journaling was distracting from the layout so I tucked it under the cute heart embellishment. 
Here are a few close ups of the details of this layout.



Enjoy! Chris

More Jump into July!

I have had a few people ask me for more information about the Jump into July promotion. So I am going to try and answer a few questions here. 

During the month of July, when you purchase $25 (USD&CAD) in current, retail priced stamps, you qualify to receive either the July Stamp of the Month, My Acrylix® Life Is Wonderful, FREE or any one of the Hostess Rewards stamp sets featured in Annual Inspirations 2014–2015 or Seasonal Expressions 2 for only $5 USD&CAD! That is a savings of up to $17.95 USD/$19.75 CAD! The July Stamp of the Month is a lovely, versatile stamp set that is a great match for your cards and layouts that celebrate all the wonderful things—big and small—that life has to offer. Additionally, the Hostess Rewards stamp sets have previously only been available as part of the Hostess Rewards program, which means now is the perfect opportunity to get those special stamp sets you’ve had your eye on!

So where can you see the Hostess Reward stamp sets?
You can find then in the front pages of the Annual Idea Book as well as the Seasonal Expression 2 book. I have created a graphic that shows all the Hostess Stamps available.

Up, Up And Away!


I am on a jet plane on my way to Disneyland in California!! To say that I am excited is a understatement! This will be my very first convention with Close to My Heart. It will be an amazing experience I am sure, there are so many things I am looking forward to I don't even know if I could list them all. There will be lots of business information along with so much creative inspiration I can hardly contain myself. It is my understanding that WiFi can be a bit spotty so I am not sure how much I will be able to share from California but I so look forward to sharing what I have learned when I get home! In case you are thinking of joining my team...you can join us in Florida next year! 

Join my team, HERE.

Enjoy! Chris
