Throughout the month I am adding content to my blog, my facebook page and now my pintereste board. As I do this, I do not want to keep sending out a newsletter - you may not appreciate it :). So, if you want to stay on top of what is going on you may want to start following one of those place: My goal is to start google hangouts on a regular basis. In those hangouts, I would like to showcase some of our cool products and show you how to use them. The hangouts will be recorded so you can revisit them. The nice thing about hangouts is, that you can ask me questions, once I am done with my demonstration. It's like a gathering on a national basis! How cool is that!

Get Organized!

Love, Love, Love those organizing tools from Close to my Heart! Here are some of the big organizers. When I go to a crop I usually have all my tools in there from the blocks to sets, to glue - you name it. If I need it, I will take the medium with me for some of my embellishments. At home I keep them separated for sets, embellishments, blocks, inkblocks - yes, our little inkblocks have their own little place. I just received a new little camera, so be on the lookout for a little video to show you what I mean! There will be another installment of my own for organization. 

Once I move into my new house I can organized again into my own space and I will share how I do it - because I need to know where all my goodies are :)

As always, you can find these goodies on my website right here. Have fun creating!

It's so easy

Shaunna Richards, one of Close to my Heart's newest consultant, from Australia created this excellent video to show how to convert Close to my Heart's Memory Protectors to creative CM album pages. CTMH has just opened the Australia/New Zealand market and we are excited to welcome so many new CTMH consultants in that part of the world! They are brimming with wonderful new ideas and I love to share some of them here! Thank you so much.

 With CM discontinuing many of its core products this information might be helpful to many of you. You can get your sheet protectors here or email me at scrappingbee42@gmail.com for any questions.
