Worth the wait...

I know it's been awhile since I've posted anything on here, but I'm back with some wonderful news in the Scrapbooking industry. Close To My Heart held their annual convention last week in California. Disneyland to be exact. While I was unable to attend, I was glued to my computer getting live info from fellow consultants as the Facebooked and Twittered all the details.

So many BIG things to announce, so I'll just jump in.

Close To My Heart joined with Cricut to create an awesome cartridge with 700 shapes at your fingertips. When you purchase the cartridge, you'll also receive 3 exclusive stamp sets designed to perfectly coordinate with images found on the cartridge. Plus you'll get 3 sets of 9x12 Dimensional Elements (chipboard) that work with the cartridge images too. You'll find lots of different ways to mix & match, creating just the right look for your project.

Holy Artwork Batman!

Here's just a small sample of all of the incredible artwork we've seen.

 It makes me want to get home and get some scrapping & card making done!  I've got the crafting fever!!!

Time Flies!

I arrived in D.C. late afternoon on Wednesday, checked into my hotel and rushed to attend the Looney's meeting. It was fun to meet Jillene Moen (my g-ma upline) for the first time.  She's so bubbly and full of enthusiasm for all of her team. I got to go on stage for recognition for my sales and for staying in the Looney League again this year (ordering at least $600/mo for 12 months). It was inspiring to see all the awards given out, and to see some familiar faces!

The Gaylord hotel is beautiful inside and out. It is located in National Harbor, right on the Potomac River.  The pier is lit up each night with lamps that glow in different colors, fading from red to blue, to orange, etc.
The hotel itself is so gigantic, that I'm sure I'm putting on a few miles each day going from our room to the convention center.  Whew!

Thursday morning I attended the morning session where we all got to hear Jeanette talk about the company and how strong it is, even in this economy.  The company is totally debt free. That brought a loud cheer from the crowd.
The company introduced many new products, including EIGHT new colors, and a new how-to-book called MAGIC!! 
After the general session we  went to lunch where we were given beautiful bags that had our new Idea Book inside!!!!  You're going to think it's AMAZING!!!  After lunch, I attended Extravaganza.  This is where you get to go to short classes to learn different scrapping and stamping techniques. After each class we were given a brand-new product from the upcoming Idea Book! I'll be coming home with all the new ink pads, a couple of stamp sets, clear cards, new bling and more!

Lots more to come, so I must sign off.  I'll write more later.
