BUNDLES of Scrapalicious Joy!

For a scrapbooking, card-making fiend like me, attending Close To My Heart's annual Convention is like, the best thing ever.  Straight up.  And the most exciting part about attending Convention is getting exclusive access to "The Bundles."  We buzz about The Bundles more than anything else in the weeks leading up to the big event.

Bundles of what, you say?  Product, of course!  Brand-spanking-new Close To My Heart product.  The Bundles are all of the best new things in the catalog bundled up into various, delicious packages that are discounted by 25% and fully commissionable.  That's right!  We earn commission on them.   

I know.  

Only Convention-goers can buy The Bundles and only consultants can go to Convention. So the inevitable conclusion I'm trying to lead you to is that you should become a consultant (on Team Scrapalicious--duh, goes without saying) so that you too can feast on one--or all--of The Bundles.  I mean, just look at them!

This bundle was not one of the exclusive ones, but we did get early access!

Laughing Lola (or as I like to say, "Lolita")

New stamps--small in size but not in awesomeness
And this isn't even everything!  One of my Bundles is on backorder.  Just wait until you see what's in that one.  When these arrived yesterday, I wanted to spread everything out on the floor of my mecca of a craft room and just snuggle with it all.  I settled instead for taking a gazillion pictures of them.  And trust me, these photos don't do The Bundles justice.   But of course, I will have everything on display for you to touch and ogle at my next Open House, which takes place on August 28th.  More on that soon . . . 

Stay scrapalicious!

Viva CTMH!

I hadn't realized how much I missed attending Convention last year until I stepped into the Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando this year and couldn't stop smiling.  I LOVE CTMH CONVENTION!  It's not just the revelation of the new Idea Book (goosebumps!) or the tons of free product, or the cherished creative time, or even the brand new Cricut cartridge (I know)--although none of that is anything to sneeze at.  For me, it's that feeling of belonging, of being a nerd proudly among other nerds, of being in a place where crafting is home.  It's an electrifying atmosphere. 

Team Scrapalicious had an amazing time together!  We are all so pumped up about growing our team and our businesses.  Look out!  We're on a roll.  


I won an award for my team building so far this year.  Go Team Scrapalicious!

Jen and I.  Partners in craft!

Team Scrapalicious in the flesh!
