Magical

Our Convention this summer is at Walt Disney World.  It may be hot, but oh, how much fun!  I have never been to Disney, and I am looking forward to it.  This year, two of my team members are going with me, so I wanted to send them a little "magic" to start the year off in anticipation of this fabulous summer event!

This is Giggles and Grins paper, and it has been discontinued for quite some time.  But it is still available in Studio J!  So I put the patterns I wanted into a pattern called No Limits, and then I ordered the jpegs.  I wanted to be able to print it on cardstock, so that is just what I did.  How fast, easy, and fun!  The stickers are a from a Disney set and matched paper beautifully!  These 4x4 cards can be used for journaling on a page.  The boxes hold a cute little Mickey Mouse necklace.

Yes, I am really excited to go to Disney, and it's fun to share that excitement!!

Convention Gifts

At Convention, there are usually some things that can't be put in a scrapbook.  So I made my friend and  upline Karen and my roommate, friend, and team member Marg boxes for those momentos.

I think that our My Creations card box works perfectly for this type of gift!  I simply decorated it with Superhero paper and a few stars covered with glitz glitter gel.  I hope they'll both treasure these for years to come!

What a Great Video!

I love Close To My Heart (truly, I can't even explain what it means in my life), and if you watch this video, you will know why!

Stars Shine Bright

The Close To My Heart Convention is in Dallas this year, and I am SO EXCITED to be going!  CTMH friends + good teaching + creative time + loads of fun + new product = a very, very good time!!  A couple of months ago, CTMH sent a postcard in the mail, and I almost threw it away.  But it was such a fun postcard that I hung it on the wall and thought I'd save it for an album.  Well, good thing I did!  Turns out the postcard was for a contest that we can enter.  Even more fun - I love that CTMH creates so much fun for us!  So for this contest, we are to create a one or two-page layout using the postcard and 100% CTMH product.  I decided to make the first page in my Convention album.

I used Dotty for You paper.  Isn't it great paper?  Don't worry - less than a week till you can get yours!  I had some ribbon from a the 2008 Convention, and I used that for some of the trim.  The protector that you see is one of our Flip Flap protectors that is perfect for storing brochures.  It would normally go on the outside of the 12x12 page protector, but for the sake of picture taking, I have it directly on the page.  And if you were to use the flip flaps that way, it would be okay, too!

Three lucky winners of the Lasso a Stamp Set contest will win a stamp set from the Fall/Winter Idea Book.  No matter what - I sure had fun making this page!  I'm going to use a chocolate Quick Pik album for this event, and this contest motivated me to think about some other pages I can create ahead of time.  Back to my craft table!
