May... National Scrapbooking Month, Dads, Vacations, Here Comes Summer!

We all pretty much see May as the herald of Summer. For many of us the weather has already turned warm, though here in the northeast, it feels more like spring. I'm a little behind in presenting the offerings from Close to My Heart, and I apologize. Family stuff.

But speaking of family, and upcoming vacations, get ready to show off those photos in the most flattering light! CTMH has got a set up for you! Just for National Scrapbooking Month; Postcard Perfect! And it IS perfectly summery. The Postcard Perfect Bundle includes a paper pack, stamp set, complements, coordinating paper, vellum, and 12" x 12" memory protectors. 

Just look at those tropical patterns, the colors, the flowers. I am so looking forward to working with this set!

For those special scrapbook pages and cards to honor your dad, granddad, or father to be, there is the "Dad is Rad" workshop. The workshop kit contains a special stamp set, cardstock, embellishments and instructions to create three scrapbook pages and four cards.

And as always, don't forget our Stamp of the Month! May's SotM is called Classic Summer Bash  and features all the refreshment that a jar of citrus punch or lemonade can offer. Ink up your next BBQ invites with this tasty set. Click the link above for all the details.

April snow squalls... bring... Fab Sales?

What a crazy winter we've had here in the northeast! It's the first week in April and we just had snow (with a little more expected next week!) I think the seasons are shifting on us.

Meanwhile, March roared in like a lion and passed so fast that I completely missed it. Maybe that's why it's still snowing.

Back to April, I hope everyone had a Happy Easter, filled with Family, Friends, bunnies, eggs, and most of all. memory making. I hope you took lots of photos, and I hope you will get them printed sooner than later! If you do not create your own scrapbooks, get them created via one of the online options (Persnickety Prints, Shutterfly, etc). As I read recently, no one is going to pass down a CD of photos. So get those albums made!

For those of you who enjoy creating your own scrapbooks, Close to My Heart is having a Friday sale every week in April. Called Fab Faves; select items will be offered at 25% off each week for 24 hours.

So mark this link, Fab Faves! and check back each week! 

Another Fab deal in April - if you have been considering joining the Close to My Heart team as a consultant... this is a Fab time to do it! The Fab Four  - in addition to the great consultant kit and the $50 in CTMH Cash that you get to purchase the supplies that work best for your business - if you sign up during April you will receive the next four Stamp of the Month sets FREE (a $71.80 retail value).

A very quick update tonight - I'm about a week behind. There's a new mini catalog with so much to share, and I've been trying to create samples.

Or... how about an album bundle? An album, page protectors, journaling pen, Cut-Above kit, and adhesive! Just add photos and your album is practically done!

National Scrapbooking Month

May is a big bright month. We're FINALLY seeing some regular sunshine and warmth here in the far Northeast, the days are longer so it feels like there's more time, and Close to My Heart just released not only the Seasonal Expressions 2 mini catalog, but May is also National Scrapbooking Month and that means that Close to My Heart has issued a special selection of papers and a coordinating stamp set JUST for May to celebrate.

the Happy Times paper pack is SO pretty, and so perfect for spring layouts, or cards (for us card-making folks). All pinks, and peachy corals, and florals. There are two ombre tones, one in greens and one in orange to magenta. The pack comes with 2 of each double sided paper, for 12 sheets of paper for $14.95. Or.... you can get this gorgeous paper FREE (with a $60 purchase).

The coordinating Happy Times stamp set is a D-size stamp set, and is $17.95. 

To help celebrate National Scrapbooking Month, and help you get those lovely papers, Close to My Heart is offering All of the My Legacy™ Albums for 25% off. At $26.21, that's a lovely deal. 

And let's not forget, there's a Stamp of the Month as always. This month's is called "Celebrate with Cake" and is perfect for coloring, or stamping on colored paper and cutting out. The cake layers are separated, so you can stamp a one layer cake, two layers, three, or let your imagination soar to the rooftops with a crooked cake of 10 layers! The Stamp of the Month is also a D-size stamp set, and available for $17.95 - or for $5.00 with a $50.00 purchase. (Which means, that if you qualify for the Happy Times above, you can have your cake and stamp it too!)

I don't have time today to get to the new products, but I will shortly. Very shortly - I'm already playing with the bright and cheery new papers. If you've been waiting for themes that included the Caribbean, Mediterranean, or a certain magic kingdom... wait no more! You can check them all out in the new Seasonal Expressions 2 now. 

If you'd like to order these or any other Close to My Heart products, please click on any of the links in this post, or go here. Thank you so much for supporting me, you all are a blessing and I appreciate every one of you. If you have any questions, please drop me an email, and if you would like to join my team, I'd certainly love to talk to you about it!

(Small update as of May 25 - CTMH has made some changes to the shopping part of their site, and some links in my older posts may take you to my order home page instead of straight to the product. I'm sorry for any inconvenience.)
