2 weeks of FUN!

So happy to have spent the last couple of weeks with my sis-in-law, Laura.  I flew to Ohio on July 5th and then took a road trip with her & Sylvia to the Amuse Studio National Conference in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.  We spent the weekend with other Amuse Studio Consultants from around the country.  It was a fun filled few days!  

Then we drove back to Cincinnati, I spent a few days in Ohio and then Laura & I made our next road trip to Des Moines.  Laura was able to spend the rest of the week with me here.  We had fun running around the town while she was here and even took in a class with Taylor from Taylored Expressions.  

Thank you Laura for visiting and for driving me back to Des Moines - you are the BEST!  I'm glad that you made it home safely!

Sylvia & Laura - lunch in Pigeon Forge with these two ladies!

Every year since Laura and I have been going to Amuse Studio National Conference she has been making up these awesome photo albums for me!  I love how NatCon 2015 turned out and it is so nice of her to do it for me each year.  I love that I have 4 books of memories!

A Tip I Learned at NatCon!

Thanks Chelsea for this awesome idea.  I was able to find the Magnetic Vent Covers at Lowe's.  There are three magnetic sheets included in the package and I was able to cut the magnet with my guillotine paper cutter.  I used red sticky tape to attach the magnet piece to the inside of the DVD case.  This is a great organizing solution to keep the matching dies with the coordinating stamp set.  I had the dies in the cases before but now they are secure and easy to get to.  I love it!  

NatCon Halloween!

Amuse Studio Consultant Planner

I applied the beautiful Amuse Studio Logo to the front of my Consultant Planner!  

It is so classy and I love that my planner keeps everything I need in one place!

I found these clear adhesive pockets at Staples that work perfectly for my business cards.  

March at a glance!

I labeled my tabs -- Cardstock, Ink/Splash, Other, Copics

This is one of my favorite pages - all the wonderful Amuse Studio colors of Felt!

 This is my other favorite page - Glitter - it's a little messy but oh how I love it!  

I found some additional sleeves at Staples to add to my planner.  They have a top flap on them to keep things from falling out.  In this sleeve I have a sample of all our new treat bags!  

In another sleeve I put the samples of all of our cellophane & glassine bags

This zipper pouch is also a nice little add on!

Thank You Amuse Studio for a wonderful Business Tool!
