Close to My Heart Convention

I thought I would share a few of my feeling about my very first Close to My Heart Convention. The best place to start is by saying that it will not be my last! Everyone says that it is an amazing experience but it honestly true. There were so many great things but let me just start by saying it was at the Happiest Place on Earth- Disneyland!! 



The is a great mix of business and creative time. 


This is Jess ( my partner in crime ) and I trying some fun new things!


There were many wonderful speakers including my Upline Brae Montgomery who talked about leading a team from a distance. She did a great job!



Here is a team photo we took on the day we all dress in red & white to show off our Canadian spirit!

It was so nice to meet my team in person for the first time! Thanks to everyone for making me feel part of the team right away!

Here is the recap video. It brings back great memories! Can you spot us??
Will you be there in Disney World with me next year??


For more information on becoming part of my team, check out the details HERE.

This is a picture of the new consultant kit.

Until next year!


Enjoy! Chris

Zoe Flip Flap Workshop Video

I just wanted to share a bit more about my Zoe Flip Flap workshop. There were a few questions so I thought that I would film a fast little video to help show what the workshop looks like when it is all completed. I hope this help but if you have more questions don't hesitate to ask!





It is so hard to believe that it is August already. But it is here!! As we sit and wait for the new Idea Book from Close to My Heart to launch on September 1st  (so excited) they decided to release one My Reflections Paper line to help ease the wait...it is called Zoe. It is a very versatile paper pack that can complement so many projects.

I have been playing around with the product and created a SUPER fun and interactive workshop! The next Chris Creative Pages workshop is a Zoe Flip Flap workshop. I have to say I think it turned out so so cute!



There is another great thing about this workshop..use it as intended in the Flip Flaps or it can be used as a stand alone workshop 6- 12x12 scarpbook pages. The files will be sent to you once you have placed a qualifying purchase of $40 or more on my website at www.chrisrobertson.CTMH.com. if you are in Canada. If you are not in Canada but would like to purchase the files for this kit simply send me an email or use the Paypal option at the end of the post. But I think you might like to see more of what the workshop will create!

Here is a picture of how the layouts will look once all the Flip Flaps are open.


There is so much room to add more Flip Flap and get even more photos scrapbooked!
