Open House details!

After preparing and preparing – my Open House debuting the NEWest items from Close To My Heart is now complete! K

It is sad…BUT looking back it was LOTS of fun!!!  We had a PACKED house on Thursday night – over 20 people in attendance! J Thanks to everyone that ventured out!!! Friday during the day was a success too – just not as many people here at one time – LOL!! 

I wanted to share our DOOR PRIZE WINNERS….and also thought you might like to take a trip around my house, in case you couldn’t join us!!!


Let’s start as you would enter the front door…

  I always have my Cash & Carry set up – since soo many of you want to make sure you don’t miss out on any of the retired items from CTMH.  I had a bunch of sale items too, retired ink colors for you to choose from and red slashed prices.  There was also a special BOGO stamp box that many of you took advantage of!!!



Across from the Cash & Carry…we had the make n take table.  We created a simple card, using the NEWEST products from CTMH!!!
Avonlea paper pack
Silver Shimmer Trim (it’s ADHESIVE!)
Words of Comfort stamp set and Frame It Up stamp set – where ALL shapes coordinate with the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge – AMAZING!!!  Quick, easy and BEAUTIFUL!
.  Ink colors we used were Twilight, Olive and Slate.  Then everyone got to chose either licorice opaques, durables or black & grey sparkles to finish off their card design! 


For a quick easy envelope – we used part of the frame and stamped an olive flower to finish it off.  I LOVE the new Words of Comfort stamp set…it has wording PLUS little images!!!

Of COURSE we had a whole AREA set aside to show the MAGNIFICENT NEW Artiste Cricut Bundle!!!! 

Three ladies booked parties that evening, most of them because of this NEW cartridge!! J  They know when they have a $250 subtotal sales at any TYPE OF GATHERING, they will be eligible for $40 in FREE product PLUS one 1/2 price item!!! YES – the Cricut Bundles CAN be used as a 1/2 price item!!!! (click on the orange word above to see how easy it is to have your OWN gathering!)



We also had a display of NEW items…LOTS and LOTS to share!!! J
Stamp sets, paper packs, embellishments, new colors, artwork….the list goes on and on!!!

There was a display of the NEW Workshop Kits – the Avonlea and Clementine kits will be the FIRST two kits we will create at our Hostess Club starting on August 23rd!
