Well it's official

my camera broke....I cannot believe it!!! It's only a few years old and what's a scrapper to do without a camera?!?!? I guess I should look at this as a good excuse to go buy a new one but the one I want is WAY too expensive for me right now.

I have been very busy creating, though, and as soon as I can borrow a camera, I'll be catching you up on what I've been so busy doing. I can tell you that it includes WONDERFUL new product. I know, I know...you want to see pictures! There are some consultants out there who have "cheated" and put pictures up on their blog already, but I want all my customers to be surprised at my Open House on Tuesday so I'm keeping everything under close watch and not letting anything leak out!!!

Check by SOON to see my swaps for the NEW Idea Book. I signed up for two rounds this time (one will go to my 1st downline signup in October) so it's been rather hectic. It's all my fault, though...I tend to go a little overboard with my cards/layouts and make them the BEST...you know, something that I would want in my album and would want to send out in the mail to family and friends. Needless to say, it's all rather time consuming.

See you all later...

This is a wedding gift to my boss's daughter who recently got married. Her colors were Chocolate and Heavenly Blue....

This card is 6x6 and held a Target Gift Card in the scalloped pocket:




This is the bag, card, and pen:


this is a veiw of the thank you note-cards. They're post-card style (don't open) and are standard size. I also stamped the envelopes with their monogram:

Energized and Revitalized....

After a full week, I have returned from the CTMH Convention in Orlando and have been busy trying to adjust to work and motherhood again. With so many GREAT and WONDERFUL things CTMH is offering, I plan on hitting the pavement running come September.

Spring is usually the season for new beginnings, but this Fall I hope to expand my downline and share with all my customers the JOY and ELATION I feel for CTMH products.

The NEW Fall/Winter Idea Book will be available September 1st to customers and you won't want to miss, once again, the best Idea Book EVER!!!

Check back for pictures of my trip and projects using NEW product later this month 'cause I don't want to give too much of a hint as to what CTMH has come up with this time. I hope to have an Open House around the 1st and look out for incentives to keep purchasing from the current Idea Book (LOTS of cute stuff still left to purchase!!).

I am ENERGIZED and REVITALIZED......

Chicago Marathon Scrapbook

My boss's wife runs Marathons and hired me to do her three albums. The Chicago Marathon was her last one and I just finished it.

I forgot to take pictures before I put the layouts in the page protectors and I was too lazy to take them out....so, some of the pictures have a glare...I apologize.

She wanted to house the Album in her gear bag - GREAT IDEA and it'll protect it from the elements....

She always gets a t-shirt (in this case, a long-sleeved one) so I adhered it in a clear bag to the front cover so she can take it out and wear it and put it back in. I also put her meadals in here this time....

This was in a magazine and says..."44,000 runners, 1.5 million spectators, one unforgetable experience" All those 'specks' are the 44,000 runners pictured from the starting line...crazy, huh?

This is a copy of her registration she printed online....

This is a copy of her training schedule and a post-it note she had to put on her cooler because people were stealing it before they could come back for water.

These two pages are for all her "good luck" gifts, cards and e-mails. The Good Luck card pulls out of the page protector...


This is her postcard confirmation letting her know "You're In!"...notice that they have her age at 105 years...too funny! I cut the page protector so it's inserted right in front of her "after party" pass but can be pulled out to read the back...


This is her bib....

The next two layouts have all of their flight information...her husband, my boss, flew up with her as well as a friend who ran with her.


This is the running part of the race...some pictures were taken by her husband and the 5x7 were taken by the Marathon workers (somewhat like the camera that takes your picture on a thrill ride at Six Flags..lol)


This is the picture of them at the finish line as well as a close-up of their stats...can you imagine running for 4 HOURS!?!?!



This is the layot with all of her "good job" cards, e-mails, etc. I used one of CTMH's True-Fit Folios to allow for easy access to all....


These are some snapshots of site-seeing and extra photos that didn't make the cut...


This is her DVD, Marathon magazine (more like a book) with all the final results and her thermal blanket...again, the items are in a clear bag adhered to the back cover and are easily accessible if she wants to pull anything out....
