Stuff I have been working on and National Scrapbooking Month!

So, I do a display swap with some other really talented Close to My Heart consultants - every time we get a new catalog, each of us picks a paper pack, and makes a 2 page layout, a couple of cards, and usually a 3d object cut from the cricut Art Philosophy or the new Artiste cartridge - times 8!  Then, we trade so that we all end up with a display of each paper pack.  The paper pack I got this time was the new Pear & Partridge Christmas paper.  I love this paper!!!  I haven't finished my whole display, but I wanted to post what I have completed, so here they are:

2 page layout:
here's some close-ups:

 yes, that is hand stitching on the 2nd page!  It's so easy with the ruler from Close to My Heart - it's got holes in it that you can line up on your page and punch through with the piercing tool, and then sew!  So easy!

Here's the card - the ornament is gold embossed, and the ribbon is seam binding ribbon dyed with the new Champagne ink:


Please bear with me!  My camera is not cooperating very well right now!

Did you know that September is National Scrapbooking Month?  Well, to celebrate Close to My Heart has this GREAT double stamp set for only $5 with a $35 purchase!  This special runs from August 15 - September 30.



It is so cute!!  Contact me today to get yours!

Thanks for looking - and happy scrappin'!

Back from Dallas, that is!  What an awesome expierience my first convention was!  Close to My Heart is an amazing company (I already knew that), and they really proved it by putting on a fabulous convention! 

The new catalog starts August 1st, and it is AMAZING!  Contact me to see how to get your very own!

We also have a new Consultant Kit with a bonus if you join my team during August.  This fabulous bag comes with your kit, and we now have 2 options for the kit.  This is the same bag given to us at convention, and I can tell you, it is a really nice bag!



The Essentials Kit $49



The Master Kit - includes everything from the Essentials, plus what's pictured below for $99


If you have ever considered taking the plunge to become a CTMH consultant, now's a great time to do it!  I would love to have you on my team.

More exciting news!!!!!!!  A new Cricut Cartridge!  It's called Artiste, and if you thought our first one was good, wait until you see this one.  It is $99, and includes everything pictured below.  It has over 700 images on it, including cupcake holders, new boxes, bags, and flowers.  I cannot wait to get my hands on this bad boy!  Contact me today to pre-order yours, and you will get a special gift from me!



Here's one of the cards I made to swap with some of my CTMH sistersat convention:
I used the A Bow Wow stamp, and Stella paper.  He's colored with chocolate ink and the Blending pen.  Sorry it's not a better quality picture.  This is all a learning process for my non-techie self :)  i am just happy I figured out how to post it!  I know, I am a dork!

I'll be posting more pictures as soon as I pick up the CD my friend and fellow consultant April made for us!  She was the photographer in our little group, and was sweet enough to make us all a copy.  I am picking it up this afternoon, and I can't wait to see them!

What?????? TWO posts in ONE day......crazy!

I know, I know......maybe a monster's been created!  Really though, I just want to let you know - if you sign up and host a gathering or workshop during the month of May, you will receive a B-sized stamp set for free!  Contact me to set it up.........I'm waiting...........

Let's try this again......

Ok, so I have figured out that I am not computer literate!!!  I am trying to figure out this blog stuff - slowly but surely.  I hope to post some artwork here soon.  I recently taught a class to some fellow consultants, and they seemed to like it, so I am thinking of offering it as a class for customers!  I'll have more info on that as soon as I can put the pictures up. 

In the meantime, check out our awesome special for the month of May - National Scrapbooking Month.  This paper pack is so versatile and is just so stinkin' cute! 



You can get a better view by checking out my website http://carolwelch.ctmh.com

We also have a really cute stamp set for the month of May, called Friendship Bouquet.  I used it for the class I mentioned above.  As soon as I saw this set, I knew I had to have it!



Cute, right?

Please contact me if you are interested in either of these wonderful products, or if you would like to schedule a class/workshop/scrap night/ whatever!  I would love to help you preserve your memories.

I promise, I WILL figure this blog thing out - I mean, how hard can it be?

Thanks for being patient!
