Convention Day 2

Wow!   Where to start...  Lots of over the top art shown to us today by some outstandingly creative consultants!    Here's a very small selection.   (Please do not share these pictures yet - thanks. Just for my customers until August 1.)

Cute, cute, cute stamp set with some new paper!

Some sports/achievement (I'm thinking musical and drama accomplishments for my kids!) themed complements.

So pretty...

Look at some of these new cricut cuts!!!   And there's Sticky Boy (our mascot) peeking out!

Camping themed cricut inspiration.

Sorry for all the cricut goodies, but you know how I feel about travel!   I LOVE what Jennifer did with this bulletin board.   Can't wait to get my hands on the You Are Here Cricut bundle AND the Way To Go digital collection!

AND, we have some new thin cuts!

CTMH Convention in Salt Lake City Day 1

Day One started with an exciting general session where we learned more about the early days of Jeanette starting DOTS, and how it quickly grew and has changed through the years.  Jeanette and her lovely family were all on stage and in various skits about the history of CTMH.

We had lots of new product reveals and got our hands on the new Annual Inspirations book!  Then we had a creative session and a lesson about colors and design principles.

The most amazing part of our day was a Home Office tour in Pleasant Grove.  We got to see the warehouse, the beautifuly remodeled lobby area, the art studio (lots of drooling there!), and Jeanette's work area and gorgeous office.  Then we had our photo taken in front of the building before we headed back to SLC.

The General Session about to begin!

Jeanette, David, and part of their family.

New paper! 

Pink pearls!!

Incredible 14' mobile.

I plan to use these layouts to put pictures on from our upcoming road trip!
