New's From Close To My Heart Convention...

I am so excited about what I am hearing of what is new at Close To My Heart's Convention. It is in Washington DC this year. This is the news I am hearing about what is new, & I was too excited to not let you guys know too!

• Starting Feb 2011 - Idea Books are now semi-annual. So now we get to look forward to only 2 new books a year. Spring/Summer & Autumn/Winter. Packed with more product & coming out only twice a year now!

• All New "How To" book on scrapbooking "Magic" (I am way excited for that one!)

• New Summer Colors!

Summer Carnival Palette:
Gypsy - Holiday Red - Pacifica - Sunny Yellow - Sunset - Topiary

Summer Celebration:
Cotton Candy - Dutch Blue - Lagoon - Pear - Sky - Smoothie
The colors look great, but I can't wait to see them in person!

And the 2010-11 Autumn/Winter Idea Book is coming soon & I have seen pictures of the Stamp of the Months & they are all GREAT! I can't wait to see what else is new, but from what I have seen, I absolutely can't wait for this book!! And a spoiler......They have the cutest Halloween kit with the cutest embellishments! I just can't wait! :)

I will keep you posted on what else is new when I can.

Enjoy!

July's giveaway.

I LOVE July! I love the patriotic spirit! I love being an American & celebrating this wonderful nation! I love that we get to celebrate twice this month on the 4th & the 24th! I love to decorate in the red, white, & blue & stars & stripes! Yep, I am an American & proud of it!

Introducing the all new Card Swap Club...

Introducing my all new Card Swap Club.

Here is how it works:

For however many Ladies in the club (so far I have 7 signed up) you will make 7 of the same card. Then we will get together once a month & swap them. So you will leave with 7 different cards! You'll have a chance to use all those fun paper crafting, stamps, Etc. product you have been dying to use & get to see some fun ideas & have fun cards to give away (or keep, whatever you prefer)

No purchase or no minimum payment. You just make your cards & then we swap them!

You can use any product you want from anywhere!

You can make any kind of card style or theme your in the mood for with each card!

The Card Club will start in July 2010. You will make your cards for July, & we will get together in August to swap them. I thought we could swap them around the 15th of the month.

If your interested in signing up for this fun Card Swap Club, please just post a comment here or contact me. For more information, just contact me.

It's going to be so much fun!

I will also be starting a Scrapbook Layout Swap Club also.

Same rules as the Card Swap, but instead of Cards, you will be making 2 12x12 page layouts (side by side layouts or two page layouts).

As of right now I don't have anyone signed up for this club yet, but if your interested, please let me know either by comment here or contact me.
Thanks!
