New Friends

WELCOME! I hope that some of my new friends are coming to my blog for the first time. I just got back from the Chicago Expo which was held in St. Charles, Illinois. What a great show with lots of scrapbookers and paper crafters looking for new ideas and great products. I worked the Close to My Heart booth with three other CTMH consultants. I taught one of the make and takes. We made the cute Sweet Treat cards. It was great to meet lots of new friends who love paper crafting.

The new idea book for Close to My Heart has so many wonderful products in it. There are just so many that it will take me several posts to tell you about them all.

First, I have to tell you that I am the owner of several paper cutters. To be honest, I own way too many. I have a great craft room but I enjoy bringing my projects out by the TV so my hubby and I can watch a movie or show together while I craft. The problem is that the paper cutters have a small platform which sometimes makes it difficult to measure the size paper I need on my small lap desk. Well, the new idea book has a new cutter. I tried it and I love it. The platform is nice and wide and I can measure my paper easily on this new cutter. It is actually the widest base on the market. There is also a wire that show exactly where the paper will be cut. This is very helpful. It is made by Fiskars so you know it is of high quality.
