​Facebook LIVE

The video will be available after the live event for those that were unable to make it during that time frame.  Just head back to this blog post and I will add the link here.


All you need is adhesive and or a glue pen, a journaling pen and your photos!  

All who join will receive a free surprise embellishment (mailed to you, from me) that can be used with your layout.

COST:
- If you order the 'monthly' kit, your cost works out to $6.25 per page (that figure includes tax and shipping) - you also get free embellishments from me!
- If you order the 'annual' kit and pay for 12 months up front, your cost works out to be only $3.59 per page (that figure includes tax and FREE shipping) - you also get free embellishments from me!

These kits are a GREAT place to start for those who love a beautiful scrapbook but lack the time for creating from scratch and layouts that take hours per page.  Start with the kit and then add your own special touch if you prefer.

EVENT ROUNDUP

Our hashtag for this event was #heartsandlemons - search it on facebook and insta to see all the posts from the weekend!
​
Close to my Heart was in the house! Kim Wolff, Central Square, NY and Shelly Straub, Milford, CT (Independent Consultants) teamed up for a weekend Expo!

Friday night, attendees were encouraged to purchase tickets for the early bird make n' take, which also offered admission into the Expo on Saturday and Sunday.  Kim and I had no idea what to expect being our first show of this size. We were pleasantly surprised to find a seriously fun and energetic crowd ready to make it and take it!  This event was from 6:30-9:30pm

We made 3 tags using the Close to my Heart Into the Wild paper pack

Happy crafters show off their tags!

After 300 tags in 3 hours...

Products used for the tags:
Into the Wild paper pack - used on the tags, bag, card and scrapbook page -- product X7247B

Saturday's make n' take - learning the stamp 'dragging' technique to make the watering can look weathered. Also used liquid glass on the flowers.
Saturday was a blast!

Kim had a waiting line at her make n' take table most of the day.

Nani (Shelly's mom) helped crafters purchase their items. 

We met and chatted with so many wonderful people! Thank you to all who stopped in today!

Many came back to learn how to make the bag that was shown with Friday's make n' take.

Sunday offered a bit more time for personal service. The aisle ways were not as crowded, the promoters offered DONUTS and the door prizes continued just as they had on Saturday. 

Bri came to help us at the register today!

​The make n' take at our booth today was a subway tile embossed grafiti covered card with a flip flap on the inside to hold a gift card. Showing crafters the versatility of flip flaps took them right off the shelf!

The promoters offered a special rate at the Holiday Inn, Auburn hotel.

Great customer service and a special shout out to Michael at the bar who took our 'Burger Theory' food order just minutes before closing time. After set up on Friday, we were exhausted and famished - thank you for the great grub and drink at the bar!

EVENT ROUNDUP

Thank you to the visitors who stopped by my booth. I really enjoyed chatting with other crafters and hanging at that beautiful mall in Manchester.

The most important aspect for me, when spending my time at these vendor shows - is growing my email list so I can attract others who enjoy crafting as much as I do and together we can make pretty fun projects, cards and memories.

I always have a drawing for those that kindly give out their email to join my list.

I used the RANDOM WHEEL PICKER... and the winner is Elisa! I will email you with a $50 coupon to spend on new craft supplies!
Thanks again!
