~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A new product that CTMH came out with this past August is the NEW, WONDERFUL craft box organizers!!! 

If you know me well, you know I LOVE to organize and baskets, crates, shelving are a weakness for me. J  I was THRILLED when CTMH announced at Convention that we NOW had these NEW organizers!

Organizing is a breeze with the new sturdy, stackable organizers and craft boxes. You’ll always know where to find your supplies—safe and sound in these portable containers!

I LOVE the two organizers I have (so far…LOL! There are definitely more coming to my craft room soon!) 

The organizer shown on the left is the MEDIUM ORGANIZER and is only $16.95!!  Take a look inside…

I use this handy organizer to carry everything I need for my make n take at my gatherings...PLUS lots more - so I have items to share and show with those that may be new to CTMH!!!

• The ink pads stack beautifully
• A compartment holds all my Glitz Glitter Gels, pearl paint, etc 
• 2 compartments hold RIBBONS….that I use ALL the time! Ok…make that 3 compartments…see the Burlap ribbon?J
• My NEWEST embellishments are on the bottom left side…along with the NEW Pigment inks! (blog post coming SOON on how to use these!!)

There are 8 different compartments that you can use!!

Take a look at the left side of the organizer…Did you see it????


YES- you CAN take out the dividers!!!   Wahoo!!!
Right now I have the left back compartment as a larger compartment.  This is where I store my card sample that we will be making at my gatherings… as well as envelopes FILLED with the pieces for the card you will create at a party!!

You will also see some of our alcohol markers, and our GREAT Bonding Memories glue in this section as well. 







Next, the small organizer…

At this point I do have my blocks in this case…as I use them the most. However, a 2nd organizer is on my wish list so that I can have a case with EMBELLISHMENTS stored in the CRAFT BOXES too!! J

Would you like to know one of my FAVORITE things about these organizers???

The extra “head” room that is in EACH case!!! LOVE IT!!!






This box actually holds SO much MORE than just our Acrylic blocks in this case!!  Our wonderful CRAFT BOXES will lay on top of the blocks AND the case will still latch and close!!

Also, I often store my “Make It From My Heart, vol. 1” how-to book on top of my blocks and card bases for my make n take cards fit perfectly in here too!

Options – Options…I LOVE options!!!

****Take a moment to see these organizers in action, as Brian shows us these AMAZING Organizers with a WONDERFUL video!!!

When your finished watching the video, you’ll want to HOP right over to my website to order your own organizer AND enter into my October Mystery Hostess Contest!!! Wahoo!!!

Birthday FUN!!!

What a FUN birthday I had the first week of October~~and I'm finally getting a chance to post about it!  
I wanted to share the two hand created cards I received in the MAIL from two fellow team mates! J Wahoo!!!

I LOVE getting mail…and to find these two cards in my mailbox, made my day!!

The first card, was from my “sister” in the Close To My Heart family…Crystal Davis.  Even though we don’t get to see each other often, we always have FUN when we get together!  Check out Crystals BLOG and see what a talented crafter she is! 

Here is the card she made with our NEW Clementine paper pack…oh, how I LOVE this paper pack!!!

I LOVE the cluster of embellishments she created on the card!!  Let’s take a closer look…

She used the Clementine Complements Canvas Shapes (2-6”x12” sheets for only $5.95!!)  The texture of the canvas adds so much to any item you create!  Crystal also used Mocha pearl gems, and a stick pin from the Autumn Lane Assortment set~~check out the other items that come in this assortment – LOVE!  Thank you, thank you Crystal!!!

My other card, arrived from a dear friend of mine…used to be customer, now a part of my team! J  Thank you Elsie Stauffer for remembering my birthday J  AND sending me a beautiful card!!!

Here is Elsie’s card…

Imagine my delight when I opened the envelope and realized she also used Clementine paper pack! Yay!!!

By using an edge distresser, Elsie “roughed up the edges” to give it that distressed look!  Take a closer look to the center part of the card…

She also chose to use a Canvas Shape from the Clementine Complements AND she used clear sparkles to give it an extra shine. J

I LOVE the card Elsie!!! Thank you!!!

I also must share a bit about a surprise that I had this past Wednesday night. J

Have you ever started singing along with everyone as they are singing “Happy Birthday” to someone...only to realize they are now walking towards you? J  Well, this is what happened to me!!

We had youth group Wednesday, and had just split into our separate guy/girl groups for our prayer and sharing time.  The girls started singing Happy Birthday, and all I could think was – Whose birthday did I forget about?  But soon realized my dear youth girls were singing happy birthday to me!!

Here are the cards that they gave me, and I’ll talk about that little brown box in a moment. J I did get a beautiful yellow mum and forgot to include that in this picture!!!  The yellow mum was a PERFECT addition to our pumpkins and corn shocks on our front porch! 

So – the little brown box, was FILLED with a treasure!!! These gals introduced me to a WONDERFUL cupcake (that I had never heard of) that came from Sublime Cupcakes a local store in Lititz, PA!  I also found out the Sublime Cupcakes ALSO has a store in Reading, PA too!!!

This moist, chocolate cupcake was AMAZING in taste!  The icing (and I’m not usually an icing person) was phenomenal!!  Absolutely wonderful!!

Thank you youth girls for making it a special night for me!!  It is something I will treasure always and I am so thankful for EACH and EVERY one of you!!  Hugs!!!

Also a HUGE “THANK YOU” to those of you that wished me a Facebook  Happy Birthday too!!!  I enjoyed reading the birthday wishes AND I was excited to see comments from those of you that I don't get to see on a weekly or monthly basis!!! Thank you, thank you to each of you!!

Blessings to EACH of you and may you all have a wonderful day!!!

Let’s celebrate Krista’s Crafty Corner!!!

I am excited to announce that I have posted 150 blog posts since I started Krista’s Crafty Corner blog in 2011!!! WOW!!!  The last post, about Studio J, was my actual 150th post!!!

This is HUGE for me, as I look back over the past year of blogging!  I started blogging after the CTMH Convention on July 25, 2011. I was encouraged at Convention to take this “next step” in my business and I am so glad I did!  I enjoy sharing with you – even though it takes TONS of time to get it all together!  I hope you benefit and enjoy the posts too! J

I always knew when I started blogging, I wanted to be as consistent as possible – hoping to post at least 1-2 times a week.  I am HAPPY to say that I have achieved my goal!!!   I know there were a few times, where it might have been  1 1/2 weeks between a post, but then I would try and “make up for it” by posting two times that week ~ LOL!! 

With this exciting news in achieving my goal– I thought we should have a GIVEAWAY!!! Who would like to receive something, just for reading my Blog posts? J

Well - I have a MIRACLE kit ready to GIVE AWAY!!

This kit includes all of the items in the picture above, PLUS it has a step by step instruction guide included too!

The kit is made to create scrapbook pages…however, take a look at what fellow consultant Beckie Lehman did when creating with this kit. 

 

She created CARDS!!!!  This is a sampling (yes, she created MANY more cards!) of the cards she created using this kit! They are so beautiful!!!!

So – HOW can YOU win this amazing kit??? 

Make a comment in the comment section and tell me how YOU would use this kit if you were the WINNER of the Miracle Kit!! J

I will use random.org to chose my winner on Thursday, October 18th. 

Also – a reminder of my own personal special happening during the month of October!!!
