Consultant Showcase Projects from Close to my Heart Convention

I had an awesome experience last week at the Close to my Heart convention in Las Vegas, NV. 

While there I had an opportunity to showcase some of my cards, a mini album and scrapbook layouts.

For those that were not able to attend, I thought I would share my projects on video, so that you might be able to get a closer look. 

I feature all of the pages of the Disney Mini Album I posted a few weeks ago. 

Please note that I did misspeak in the video, and that the "Simply Beautiful" sentiment actually came from the "New Adventure" stamp set, that I correctly listed on my blog post for that card a few weeks ago. 

As always if you have any questions at all, please feel free to comment below or email me.

Vintage Typewriter Card With All Close to my Heart Products

Happy Monday!

As I journey back to Georgia for Las Vegas to return home from the Close to my Heart Convention, my mind is literally spinning! 

This week I learned so many new layout ideas, techniques, and business concepts, that I can not wait to try out and share with all of you!

While at convention, we worked on several projects, many of which will be shared with you either here on my blog, in my VIP group on Facebook or in my new Virtual Classrooms. 

My New Virtual Classrooms will feature various videos, some will be free general technique videos, others will be videos provided free with the purchase of a specific kit or products used to create them.

Close to my Heart has so many great items coming your way! 

I truly was blown away and am so impressed with the new catalog that will begin September 1st. 

If you are interested in receiving a new Holiday Expressions catalog, please complete the free request form here.

One of the many awesome projects we created this week, was this adorable Vintage Typewriter card.

This card actually features several new products.

The paper pieced typewriter, alphabet border and the sentiment are both from the new stamp set "My Type of Note".

I popped the typewriter panel up with 3-D Foam Tape for some dimension. 

The paper packet is from a new Christmas themed collection called "'Tis the season". 

The cardstock featured is Charcoal and one of our new colors Mint. 

Speaking of which, with the new catalog change in a few months, there are ten colors that are retiring. 

They are:

flaxen

sorbet

crystal blue

juniper

cranberry

poppy

pacifica

blossom

tangerine

nutmeg

So if these are colors, you know you have projects you need them for, now would be the time to begin ordering a sufficient amount of them. 

They will be retiring the cardstock, ink, and reinker bottle for each color.

I will create a separate post with a video about the new ten colors that will replace the retiring ones.

There will also be a post and video about the new "Color of the Year".

I distressed the edges of the card, and pieces with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, another product that will be retiring soon. 

I also added a few new embellishments; Silver Glitter Gems and Silver Embellishing Thread.

I entered this card into the following challenges:

Pile It On Challenge Blog-#144 Vintage (Typewriter)
Simon Says Stamp- Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes
 Creative Memories - #147 Anything Goes
Jo's Scrap Shack-#240 Fun-day Friday Challenge

As always, I hope you enjoyed my post, feel free to leave me a comment below. 

I would love feedback on the type of products, techniques and themes you would love to see.
