Artbooking in August - Mini Book

Welcome to Week #3 of the Artbooking Blog Hop!  

This week there are approximately 30 consultants bringing you mini album ideas, and you should have arrived from Linda's blog.

I want to show you a piece I created for the Designed Decor Acrylic Flip Stand Album.  I take this with me to my Gatherings and events to tell people all about the being a Close To My Heart Consultant.

During the weeks of the hop I have been showing you the key on Artbooking as well as my artwork, but I used several keys of this album.  That's the beauty of Artbooking - you can pick and choose!

This is a super fun way to show this album.  My next project with this stand will  be to create an album of special recipes with photos for my kitchen.  I love how easy it was to cut all of these pieces with Artbooking and then just clip them on.  

Now you'll want to move on to Lisa to see what she created for you!

I have to sideline here, and tell you just how blessed I feel every single day that I get to do what I love.  There is nothing better than sitting at my craft desk and pulling out new paper and stamps!  What I love even more is that the product I purchase from Close To My Heart is generously discounted because I am a consultant.  (Want to know a secret?  I just received a double stamp set today for a special that is starting in mid-August.  How cool is it that as consultants we are able to pre-order?!)


I also love my team.  I have a private Facebook group for my team, and I was just thinking today that there is a wealth of talent and creativity on this Rose Blossom team of mine.  There are so many ideas shared between my team members.  I love how we have formed a family throughout our conversations.  My team members welcome new consultants with open arms, and I am so proud to be their leader because of the integrity and kindness they show! 


When you join my team starting August 1st, you will receive this lovely bag from Close To My Heart:

We each received one of these at Convention, and I was WOWED!  It can be a shoulder bag or a backpack, and it holds a TON of product.  It easily holds an album and paper with an outside pocket as well.


I promised you a BONUS, so here it is.  When you join my team and submit your first $300 in orders within your first month, I will give you $25 in your choice of product!  Close To My Heart also rewards you with $25 in product when you reach that goal, so how awesome is that? 

You can click on the "Join My Team" tab to learn a little more about me or you can click on my "Resume" to review my experience.  I'd like to answer any questions you may have about joining my team and would love to talk about the Close To My Heart opportunity with you!  My e-mail is girlygirlrose43@msn.com and my telephone number for calls and texts is 763-227-0583.  If you are ready to jump right in, visit my website for the online application!

Consider Yourself Hugged

This past week, I put a challenge out to my team.  Those that completed the challenge will be receiving a February Stamp of the Month card in the mail from me as a business builder tool. This is new paper along with new stamp sets so that will have this card to share with customers.  I thought I'd show you the card they will be getting and talk about a little of what it means to be a Close To My Heart and be on my team!
