Stars Shine Bright! CTMH Convention 2012

We're nearly done with the first day of Convention - it is SO much fun!    It's worth signing up as a consultant just to get to go to Convention!  

Megan and I toured Tuesday and Wednesday and got pretty hot - whew.   Tuesday we visited the Dallas Holocaust Museum where the exhibits focused on one day during World War II.   It was a very worthwhile, moving exhibit.    Then we went to the 6th Floor Museum, which focused on the life, presidency and last day of John F Kennedy.  It was an an incredible museum.   I was nearly the same age as John-John was at that time, so the only thing I remember from that time is that little guy saluting his dad's casket, and thinking how sad that his daddy died and that he must have been someone important.    Wednesday we went to the Dallas Aquarium and didn't even spend half the day missing trains like we did the first day. 

Enough about that -- you want to hear about CTMH's NEW products!

Here's a sneak peek (almost said peak, as if a mountain was going to sneak up on you!) of one paper pack called Flirty:

Isn't it gorgeous!  The Level 2 paper packs are nearly the same, with 6 sheets of printed papers and 6 sheets of card stocks.   Each printed paper has a different print on the back.   Some paper packs have a shade of card stock exclusive to that paper pack!  (That's a strip of card stock with the word love stamped on it - it's not part of the print!)

Here's a picture of the exciting General Session this morning -- what a crazy bunch of consultants!

 

YEE HAW!

There are:

• 8 NEW Paper Packs
• 13 NEW Workshop Kits!  One for each paper pack, two workshops for card workshops, and a few more.....!
• 62 NEW Stamp Sets! 
• NEW alcohol based markers (SO nice for shading and so easy to use!)
• 6 NEW Colors!
• NEW storage containers!
• NEW Studio J Express Collections - drag and drop your photos, add journaling and you're done!
• NEW pigment ink spots (small ink pads in pigment ink)
• Dozens of NEW embellishments!

AND, wait for it --- drum roll please ---    another cricut cartridge called Artiste!   We heard today that this was Jeanette's BABY, and it is quite different from the typical cartridge.  There are "suites" of cricut cuts that go together to make projects -- and a whole Halloween workshop designed using Artiste too!   I don't know many details, so more about that later.

I'll save more news for tomorrow's post:  color changes, stamps of the month and more!  Come to my Open House on 7/31 to play with new product and get YOUR hands on the Autumn/Winter Idea Book.
