Happy Mail today!

Hi everyone...... yayyy!!! its finally friday night and tomorrow is the weekend :0) Today, I wanted to share with you something that I purchased from provocraft last week.   If you recall my last post on Cuttlekids Machine, so its finally here and my son couldn't be more happier.
Scroll below for products review.

Here is his new machine....

Since my son just started kindergarden and he loves anything school, he picked out this 4 pack School Days die. I'm sure you will be seeing some of his projects too.

Product review: 

The positives- the machine itself its really really cute for kids. The die are also cute. 

The Negatives - At first we used paper and even with that it was a really hard to press the paper through and if that was easy we tried self-stick foam...... well let's just say it wasn't easy either but at the end it pretty nice to have something for the kids to craft along.  

So for me I purchase the cricut cartridge binder which I really was looking forward to it, since I will be attending crops and retreats this is a great way for us crafter to store our cartridges in a safe dry place. :0) there is also another binder that provocraft offers but I like this green one better so it matchs my machine.

My Product review: when I first opened the box I was like holy COW its huge.... but then after some minutes it kinda made to be so big.  It needs to fit 12 cartridges plus the keyboard and the books. Off course it needs to be huge.

Here is the opened empty binder. 

and here is with my cartridges, I actually fit all my cartridges, which are 10 full cartridges plus 2 lite. 

I did not include my CTMH cartridge. I do plan to purchase another binder and then organize my cartridges.  

I hope you like my product review and I hope I convinced you on purchasing your own. I sure love the colors. :0) Have a great everyone.... tomorrow I have a CTMH Art Philosophy class  can't wait to show you all the projects I made with this wonderful cartridge.... but because I love my readers so much here is a sneak peek..... oh yeah by the way... I will be doing a giveaway soon on my blog, so stay tune.
This is 1 out of 700 images that you can cut with this cartridge. If you are interested on purchasing it please visit my website....

Open House - CTMH

Hi everyone... yayy!!! its tuesday and you know what that means??? A couples of more days for my birthday, can't wait.... So some of you may know that I'm a Independent Consultant with Close to my heart.  This weekend I had my first open house. I had prepared for this weekend for over 1 week but I was glad I did it.  I even prepared a presentation paper. I felt good and excited and happy, all these feelings at once.  I went over a little bit about basics of scrapbooking, and CTMH products which they have amazing quality products and the prices are unbeatable.  I was so busy with all that I didn't even take pics, however I did take pictures of the cards I prepared and the card that everyone made.  I'm glad I'm with CTMH and I'm happy that I can be a part of good company, working and doing what I love.

Below are the pictures.
