Clearly The Best: A Countdown to Love (S02E07) (+playlist)

Sparkle & Shine Workshop

Do you have lots of Christmas photos . . . and don’t know what to do with them? This Workshop using Close to My Heart® paper and supplies is for you! These four pages will hold up to 46 pictures using our Flip Flaps.

I always take tons of photos during the holidays and don't have the time to make several layout pages.  My fellow consultant, Michelle Snyder, designed these pages and has shared them and has allowed me to share them with you!!!  Four pages will hold up to 46 pictures - you don't have to put pictures in each photo block, you can use some for journaling to tell your story. We will use Close to My Heart(R) products and FlipFlaps to add to our pages.  If you are currently using another scrapbook system, bring your own page protectors (ours are really great though) and add the FlipFlaps to those.  You have the option of purchasing a pre-cut kit.  If you need other supplies, please let me know or you can order them directly through my website (nancyk.ctmh.com) or click the shopping cart on the right.

Close To My Heart is developing two different side-loading Memory Protectors® products for 12" x 12" scrapbook pages. These products will be formulated with our same quality PVC-free materials and are anticipated to be available with the release of the Spring/Summer 2014 Idea Book.  The first product is intended to be compatible with Creative Memories-style strap albums without requiring modification to the album or protector. The protectors have seams on the top, bottom, and exterior side, with an open side for sliding in pages near the gutter seam. “Refill pages” are not required to use this product.

The second product is intended for use in post-bound or three-ring albums. Protectors are very similar to Close To My Heart’s existing Memory Protectors style, but instead of having an opening at the top for top loading, these will have the opening at the interior side near the gutter.  These protectors are not intended to replace our current style of Memory Protectors, but rather to offer more options and diversity in our top quality Memory Protectors.

I know this is a lot of information, but it's oh so exciting!!!  Please let me know how I can help you with your scrapbooking projects and crafts.  If you need help ordering, I'm a phone call/email away!!!

Pigment Inks v. Dye Inks (our regular ink pads)

Yesterday I told you about our wonderful organizer for our pigment ink pads . . . here's a video with Kristine and Monica - OMG these two have such HUGE personalities - you should see them in person! (Become a CTMH Independent Consultant and attend our Album Retreat or attend Convention - it's at the Disneyland Hotel next June!)

Organization!

Are you somewhat obsessed with organization of your stamping and scrapbooking supplies?  This is a really great video from one of my fellow CTMH consultants, Melissa Laverty.  She shows how to organize your little pigment inks (sold in stacks of 10 for $19.95) and also how to store your ink daubers! Pigment inks are great for stamping on anything.  They make a handy-size ink pad to take along with you anywhere.  These inks will not fade over time so sunlight exposure is fine for them.  The inserts are brand new to the Fall Winter Idea Book.  The small storage tote has been around - now you have a really great use for it!  Mine is already full.  And, as Melissa offers, I will include the labels with  your order!!!  How cool is that!  Enjoy Melissa's video!

Here is a sample of what is available in the new Artbooking cartridge!
