It's Right Around the Corner!

Our NEW Idea Book, now called "Annual Inspirations", is ready to debut on Friday, August 1st!  Not only does it serve as our catalog, but it is chalk full of inspiring artwork creations you will want to duplicate.  The new products are top-notch and you will fall in love with them, I guarantee it!

This is an annual book, the reason for its' name, but we will release new product a few times throughout the year.

You can get your hands on a hard copy when you place an order of at least $50.  You may also buy it outright for $6.50, plus shipping.  Place an order through my website, taking advantage of those items that will be available only until the end of the day on July 31st, and you can be entered in a drawing for FREE products!  (Click here to see the retiring items.)  Contact me with any questions you may have and have an awesome Sunday!

A Sneak Peek of NEW product - coming February 1st!

One of the fabulous benefits of being a Close To My Heart Consultant is having access to new product before the general public!  We get to view and purchase the items a month earlier than they go live so we can begin preparing samples and workshop ideas.  The Spring/Summer Idea Book, to be released on February 1st, contains quite a few new products that I know you are going to love.

This is a photo of the Consultant Kit that contains a variety of items and can be yours for just $99 if you would like to join my team and the company!  It contains approximately $309 in products and supplies to get your business off to a rockin' start!  If you look close enough you can see quite a few new products, including the Skylark paper packet.

I have new products in my hand but have been spending time creating artwork for my Team Retreat that will be held in less than a month (ACK!) in Gainesville, TX.  Those creations are under wraps right now as they are saved as a surprise for those attendees.  But don't worry...I'll find some time over the next week to create some artwork using new product that I can share with you.

If you are interested in finding out more about becoming a Consultant click here and feel free to contact me with any questions.

I can't wait to share our new products with you!  Keep watching for more to come!

It's almost time!

The release of the NEW Spring/Summer Idea Book is just around the corner!  All of the new products go live on February 1st and I promise you will not be disappointed!

I welcomed my first two boxes of new products yesterday and will be tapping into them this weekend!  WOOHOO!  It is time to create!  Here is a sneak peek at the cover.

If you would like to be one of the first people I mail this catalog to, simply place at least a $35 order on this three-day, holiday weekend (in honor of National Papercrafting Month, of course) on my website (CLICK ON THE PAPERCRAFTING MONTH PROMO LINK).  Once you do, I will make sure a catalog is mailed out to you on Tuesday, January 21st!  If you would like to know what other options you have to get one of these beauties in your hand, please email me.  It is not nearly as fun having to view it online.

Don't forget we have an awesome promotion going on this month.  Click HERE to be taken to the blog post that contains more details about "Cloud Nine".

Happy Weekend!

The NEW Idea Book IS HERE!

The release of the new Idea Book is always an exciting time as we chomp at the bits waiting to see what new products we can look forward to using over the upcoming months.  Well...the wait is no longer!  This is the cover of the 2013 Fall/Winter Idea Book and there are a lot of new products embedded in the pages throughout the book.  Lots of fun and exciting new items to drool over!

Our Idea Books can always be found online - click here to view it - but it is much better in person as there is a reason it's called an idea book.  There are plenty of samples of artwork provided throughout the book where you can see the potential of our beautiful products.

Here is a snapshot of one my absolute favorite paper packet in the book, found on page 21.  It is called "Laughing Lola" and can you guess why I love it?!  It's no fair if you know me that well but for those who don't...it's because it has PURPLE!  I often laugh because sometimes things may not be that pretty or cute but if it is purple, I can probably convince myself that I love it!  LOL

It took no convincing here.  The Laughing Lola purple, included in this paper packet, is gorgeous but it is just one of my favorite new products.  (Watch tomorrow's post regarding a Laughing Lola Project-In-a-Bag where you can make two layouts for just $20!)

If you would like a hard copy of this Idea Book it's just $5 and includes shipping to your door PLUS you will get that $5 in return when I include a $5 gift certificate that can be used on your first purchase from the NEW Idea Book.  To order your copy, click on the "Buy Now" button below and enter your credit/debit card payment securely through PayPal.  I will contact you upon receipt of payment to obtain your mailing address if I do not currently have it on record.

Have fun perusing the NEW Idea Book and let me know if you have any questions about any of our new products.

HAPPY NEW IDEA BOOK DAY!

NEW Product Blog Hop

Click here to view the Idea Book online.

The NEW Spring/Summer 2011 Idea Book went "live" on the 1st and I am grateful for the opportunity to be apart of this Blog Hop - highlighting some of our newest products!  If you have come here from Tonya's Blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around.  If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants here. 

We have 11 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using products from the New Spring/Summer 2011 Idea Book and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

I LOVE the new Sweetheart Paper Packet and coordinating Level 2 Assortment.  I used the Level 2 paper packet, Level 2 Stickease, Level 2 Assortment and the NEW Irresistibles Eclectic Alphabet to create these two layouts.  Aren't they just gorgeous?!  They are ready for this year's Valentine's Day photos and I can't wait to see them finished!  Both layouts were created using our how-to book, "Magic". 

 

Using some leftovers from my layouts, I created this Circle Card - using a pattern out of "Wishes".  Here you can see a close-up of the Sweetheart Level 2 Assortment which is a 6" x 12" sheet of 32 epoxy stickers in various shapes and sizes!  Aren't they beautiful?!

Supplies used:  X7134B Sweetheart Level 2 Paper Packet, X7134C Sweetheart Level 2 My Stickease Assortment, Z1386 Sweetheart Level 2 Assortment, Z1395 Irresistibles Eclectic Alphabet.  Click on the links provided above to see a close-up of these products and their prices.

How stinkin' cute is this cover?!  The NEW Cherry-O paper pack compliments this beautiful little girl, doesn't it?! 

You'll not only love ALL the new paper packs and embellishments contained in this Summer Idea Book, you will also love all of the beautiful artwork showcased throughout!  You can access a link to an online version of the Idea Book by clicking here but it's just not the same as seeing it in person.
