Are You Serious? Wow. Oh MY Word! Did You See This? OH MY!

Those were the first words that came out of my mouth.  I was sharing the new Spring Summer 2014 Idea Book with my Daughter Dawn, while my Son James was in the Kitchen making fun of me because I couldn't finish my sentences.  Every page I turned was another surprise.

This is the best Idea Book ever.  I LOVE all the papers and Stamps and the new Tool.  Yes I said Tool, I could be missing some thing but I only saw 1 super cool tool.  I have been asking Corp. to add these to the Idea Book for a while now.  I truly believe we need real texture and not just an implied texture.  I'll leave it at that.

So, I can show you the cover now, but that is about it.  I will have to wait to show you more.

If you want to get your very own Spring Summer 2014 Idea book early, place a $25.00 order with me or on my website, from the Autumn Winter 2013 Idea Book or the 2013 Holiday Gift Guide between now and January 31st and I will give you one for FREE.  Here is a link to my website janicewilson.ctmh.com.

You won't be disappointed, I assure you.

I will be placing my order on January 1st to get products for the Semi Annual Idea Book Kick Off Party Shannon and I are hosting January 29, 2014.  If you can you should try to be at this one.  We are going to have so much fun.  You can RSVP with me to reserve your spot early.  Bring all your friends and anyone you know who stamps, scrapbooks or makes any kind of paper crafts.

I might not be posting often for the next few weeks as I will be busy designing some party favors, prizes and mini albums.  I can't wait to get started.  Yahoo!!!

Happy Scrappin',

Are You READY?

Well last night we had our Ideabook Kick-Off party and did we have fun.  We played The Price Is Close To My Heart (similar to The Price Is Right) and CTMH BINGO.  Just a couple of fun ways to get everyone acquainted with the new products and where to find them in the Idea book.  We gave out lots of prizes too.

Here are the Display boards that I made showing some of the new products

 This display board shows the Artbooking Cartridge collection and some of the items that I made from it.  I had so much fun playing with my toys this week.  Have I ever told you that I LOVE my Job?  Well I do LOVE my job.

 I made these 2 layouts using the Laughing Lola paper pack and the Artbooking cartridge. I cut the everything I needed to complete these from the same 2 pages in the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge book.  I added the yellow behind the windows just cause I thought it would look cool.

 Same goes for these pages all items were cut from the same 2 pages in the Artbooking book.  It tells you what size to cut the main image and everything else fits to that page size.  I Love it.  This is the best cartridge so far.

 This Lay out is using the new Sarita paper pack.  I used Cotton Candy cardstock to tone down the craziness of the patterned paper.  Love how it turned out.   This was a recent visit from my Niece who is 2 weeks older than my Son.  We enjoyed the visit and getting to meet Kasseys new family.

 

 My Daughter Dawn made this layout using the New Pro Player Workshop On The Go kit.  The kids had fun at the BCT Backyard Bash playing their giant Chess set.

 This layout is using the New Huntington paper pack and new Swirls Around stamp set.  I also used the Artbooking cartridge to cut out the roses, leaves and flourish. Added some sparkles and pictures.

 These are cards that Dawn and I made this last week also.

 These are using the Pro Player papers and coordination stamp sets.

 These cards are made with the Laughing Lola paper and coordinating stamps.

 This is the new Frosted paper pack and one of the new Hostess stamp sets.

 This is also made with the Frosted papers.

 And this tag I made using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge and the Frosted paper pack.

 You wouldn't know it but this is the new Babycakes paper pack.  It is geared toward babies.

 This paper pack is the Huntington paper pack and some of the new Jewelry making metal flowers that we are now offering in the Idea book.

 We now have our own version of the Smash book, we call ours Crush books.  Very cute accesories and coordinating stamps too.  Here is one of the sets called Reel Life.

 We are now offering this Designed Decor Flip Stand Album.  It is only $12.95.  It is made so that you can put your own paper inside the stand so when you flip to the last page it is all decorated.  I cut the pages from the new Artbooking cartridge and since it was offset, I added some tule and rolled roses and plastic flowers to the edge to even it out.

 This is what made me think the tulle would be perfect for the edge.  Miss Melody is so stinking cute.

If you like Mini Albums, YOU are going to LOVE this new Artbooking cricut cartridge.  Here is why.  I made this little Halloween mini album straight from the cartridge.  I of course add some of my own photos.  I will have more on this mini album in the next couple days.

 Dawn came to the rescue and made these 3 following mini albums for the Idea Bood Kick-off.  They are all made using the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge also.  She did a fantastic job.  Tarina and I helped finish the embellishing.  I will have more on all of these mini albums in the next few days.

Dawn used the new Babycakes papers and cardstock to make this.

 This mini is made using the Sarita paper pack Rolled roses and some of the new jewelry making flowers.

 This is the Pro Player paper pack and it too was made using the Artbooking cartridge.

There are 10 mini albums on this one cartridge.  There are 700 images.  There are no empty keys on any of CTMH's cartridge, that is a deal in it's self.  

Some of you are thinking that $99.00 is a lot for one cartridge.  And I  agree, but if you add up all the stamps sets 3 @ $17.95 = $53.85 and the chipboard 3 @ $4.95 = $14.85 all that added up is $68.80 so that makes the cartridge $30.30.  Show me a cartridge that has 700 images and every key filled for $30.30.  

 I have 37 cartridges and do you know the ones I use the most?  Art Philosophy, Artiste and now the Artbooking ones.  I also have the Big Kick and a ton of dies, I should sell them and make more room in my craft room, as I NEVER use them.  They are just sitting there taking up space and collecting dust.  I used to use them a lot, but since CTMH has created the Cricut Cartridges, that is pretty much all I use.

I am taking pre-orders for the Cricut cartridges if you want one call or text me 503-708-6889, you can even send me an email jwilson@bctonline.com.

Here are pics of new Items in the Autumn Winter 2013 Idea book.

First off how about the New Idea book cover?

And the New "Artbooking" Cricut cartridge. Yes you heard me right, we have a NEW Cricut Cartridge.  They've done it again, packed it full of AWESOME images to cut.  I'm taking Pre-Orders now. Just send me an email.

Look at this little mini book, isn't it cute?

Yeah more shapes.

It's themed again and has at least 10 Mini Books.  It still comes as a bundle with 3 - D sized stamp sets and 3 - chipboard packs.  Again it is $99.00. 

My Crush books are new, CTMH's version of Smash books.  They fit right into your purse so they are easy to carry with you.  Only $12.95 each.

 There are 60 10" x 7" printed cardstock pages. We have assortments for $4.95 each  and stamps that match the Crush books, for just $9.95.  Look for 6 crush books total.

 There's a new Photo Frame. 

This is Awesome, and yes this is new paper, called Pro Player.  I already love this paper and the stamps that match.  

It's going to be perfect for my  Grandsons' pages.

Baby Cakes is another paper pack.  I'll show more paper later.

We now have our own line of Jewelry.  It is the Base and you get to design or add anything you want and make it the way you like it.  I'm sure I'll have to play with that.

We now have Designed Decor

We also have Hostess Rewards now too.  

This was the first day of Convention and they have already blown me away with all this new COOL stuff.  I can't wait to see what the unveil today.

I will be placing an order on August 1, 2013, for those wishing to pre-order any of the new items, just send me an email with the list and information to contact you.
