Visit to Close To My Heart

Did you know I have the BEST JOB EVER!?!?!?!  And 2013 has been a banner year for me too!  

I will never forget how this all happened...  The school day was almost over, and it was the Friday before Spring Break and I just happened to check my email to see a message from Jill from CTMH corporate office.  She asked if I would be willing to come to Utah to help film training videos.  I was sooooo excited!  I called her for some details and the plans were in motion!  What a fabulous way to start my spring break, huh!!!

Fast forward to April, CTMH flew me to Salt Lake City, where I met up with the fabulous Lisa Stenz.  We spent a few hours filming two different videos (training for consultants) and whole day with CTMH corporate staff.  How lucky am I???




We seriously had the best day ever!  

((Too bad it ended with me missing a connecting flight home and getting stuck in LA... but that's another story....))


So I wasn't supposed to share any of this with anyone.... but at convention the cat was out of the bag!  They showed us a sneak preview of our videos during leadership day.  The first video on Home Gatherings went live August 1st.  When I logged onto the CTMH site, this is what I saw:


 My solo video has not been released yet, and I'm super nervous about how it turned out.....

Anyways..... I created a scrapbook layout just for this amazing day! 


This layout is one that we created at Convention with the exclusive Viva paper pack. 

How fun are these Base & Bling metal flowers on a scrapbook page???


THANKS to CTMH for the best day ever!!!!!!

CTMH- Everything ABC's Blog Hop- E is for Easter

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter E. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their E element will be featured in their post. If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start at the beginning at Amber's blog ~ Scrapper's Therapy  If you came from Shelly ~ Just One Piece then you're on the right track! E is for EASTER You may recall a few months ago, I posted a couple layouts from the baby album I am making for my niece.... well she's now 3 months old and I only finished through 4 months!  I have some work to do..... Today I created an Easter Layout using THIS layout as my inspiration.  The Chantilly paper pack is perfectly girly and springy!  I cut two strips of the green pattern, then sliced it up to make it look like grass.  Using Art Philosophy, I cut out a bunch of different eggs in 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and ...

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)
