CTMH Boom-Di-Ada Song

I wrote this awhile back and am totally not sure why it was in draft format still. Anyway, here it is. This was posted on the CTMH message board too, so you might have caught it if you’re a consultant.

Apparently I had WAY too much time on my hands this morning, but I just could not resist. Oh, and if you need the tune, go here.

I Love MY CTMH
(sung to “I love the Mountains”)
by Nicole Humphrey, CTMH Independent Consultant

I love my Acrylix stamps,
I love the My Stickease
I love the 60 colors
So I can scrap whenever I please.

When all the kids are fed,
and they are off to bed,

Boom-Di-Ada, Boom-Di-Ada
Boom-Di-Ada, Boom-Di-Ada

I love exclusive inks,
I love reflections packs,
I love our catalog,
All the way from front to back.

When all the kids are fed,
and they are off to bed,

Boom-Di-Ada, Boom-Di-Ada
Boom-Di-Ada, Boom-Di-Ada

I love the Springtime,
I love the Summer too,
I love the Fall and Winter,
There is always something new.

CTMH paper is best,
We put it to the test,

Boom-Di-Ada, Boom-Di-Ada
Boom-Di-Ada, Boom-Di-Ada

I love the Window Charms
I love the bigger brads,
I love the Just Blooms,
I love all the Sassy Strands.

There’s every color you could need,
This industry is what we lead.

Boom-Di-Ada, Boom-Di-Ada
Boom-Di-Ada, Boom-Di-Ada

I love my company,
CTMH is here to stay,
Scrapbooking and Stamping all the way,
I love everything I didn’t say.

We are the best in every way,
We are here to make your day.

Boom-Di-Ada, Boom-Di-Ada,
Boom-Di-Ada, Boom-Di-Ada

Scrapbooking Consultant Clothes and Other Items

I am one of those people that while I am very excited about everything I do, I sometimes have trouble advertising myself when I am out in public. I tend to rely on clothing, tote bags and other items to get the conversation started.

I recently found ScrapWarrior’s Scrapbook Clothing Shop, and then was reminded again about it in an email I received. I love her designs, and already have a wish list for my bday.

Oh, and the clothing is NOT just for scrapbook consultant’s. There are dozens of designs for scrapbookers and other arts. I just fell in love with the consultant sections she had.

Close to My Heart vs. Zig Marker Colors – Color Comparison

I have been scrapbooking a LONG time. In that time, I have every single Zig Marker known to man. I am building up my collection of Close to My Heart Exclusive Ink Markers, and have three packs already. That’s all find and dandy but I still need seven more packs to go. So I thought one day about all the Zig Markers I have collecting dust in my scrap area. I decided to sit down and compare the colors and do what others do with different brands and colors from other companies. I would also like to mention that I don’t think I would use the Zig Markers on your stamps. I haven’t tried, and I don’t plan to. Their markers are made differently than ours and I don’t believe the ink might be as easily removed. Here is what I came up with for the most part.
