I don't know if Disney World is ready for the amazing talent that is about take place this coming week in Orlando Florida. This is my first year attending the Close to My Heart convention and I am as nervous and excited as a kid waiting for Christmas morning. It's going to be a magical experience.
Well I've decided to take my laptop to keep you informed of all the latest and greatest news. More than likely I will do YouTube posting that way I can get information out to you quickly and show you my latest creations. I haven't been posting lately because I have been diligently working on my roommate gifts. Traditionally, convention attendees that share rooms exchange gifts. Therefore, I made mini albums using Close to My Heart cards, envelopes, and Dream Pop paper packet. I think it turned out really cute. I will show you pictures soon but right now it's a surprise. Shhh!
I wonder what exciting new products Close to My Heart will launch in the next Idea Book. Well I will get an early view of the Idea Book catalog and play with actual products before you the public do. Only consultants that attend convention come home with products and Idea Book catalog. So it's really neat to get a sneak preview and possibly win incredible door prizes.

Make It Your Banner Day!
The constant campaign this month was such a hit that the free banner gifts sold out and were replaced with milk cartons. This sold out as well. So you are still able to receive a great discount on the Stamp of the Month and take advantage of the stamps that have gone on sale that support our troops and the victims of Oklahoma. As always there are some incredible sales on my website under While Supplies Last for example a scrapbook album for just $3!

Father's Day Cards
I decided to make some greeting cards for men given that sometimes it can be a challenge creating something new and different. Have you ever searched the net to find greeting card ideas for men? The majority of them are collared shirts and ties, golfing, fishing, and tools. Well what if none of our guys fit this profile. Well here are some generic greeting card with a masculine feel that shows off how strong and important our guys really are!

| Card 1, CTMH Original Pattern: Pretty Simple |

| Card 2, CTMH Originals Book pattern: First Impressions |
 |
| Card 3, CTMH featured card without a pattern description. Read below for details. |
Card 3 measures at 5 1/2" x 4 1/2" folded from Sandlewood or Bamboo cardstock. All patterned strips measures at 4" in length, from left to right, (1/2" W x 4" L), (3/4" W x 4" L), (1 1/2" W x 4" L), and (1 1/4" W x 4" L).
