Happy Birthday Mom

Ann, my lovely mother-in-law (and heart!) celebrated an undetermined birthday this past week. The whole family came over and celebrated with a wonderful dinner and cream cheese pie (mmm....piiiiiie.) It was great to get together and see everyone. We try to do so about once a month with Brandon's family, but we're just getting so darn BIG, I'm not sure how long it will continue. Best to relish it while it does!

The stamp set is from the Cricut Artiste collection (it comes with THREE D-size stamp sets, and 3 sheets of chipboard dimensional elements). I loved the simplicity of the word blurbs and know Ann just loves simple, fun cards. I knew this set would be a winner for a quick gift of everyday greetings stamped in Dutch Blue (retired) and chocolate. Top it off with a pretty ribbon and it makes a beautiful presentation to someone you love.

Warm wishes,

February Specials and New Idea Book

Do you know what to get your sweetheart? I can think of a few things! Here are the specials going on this month from Close To My Heart. Pick one up for your bestie and maybe take one for you, too!


1.  BRAND NEW IDEA BOOK!
2.  Five for FREE in February
3.  February Stamp of the Month
4.  Help Make a Miracle
5.  Brand New Consultant Kit


1.  BRAND NEW  IDEA BOOK:  

Every 6 months (in February and August) a brand new Idea Book comes out with Close To My Heart full of so many wonderful things, including (but not limited to!) 8 new scrapbooking kits, dozens and dozens of new stamp sets, a plethora of pretty embellishments and 6 new Stamps of the Month.  WOWZA!  Here it is.  You can view it page-by-wonderful-page by clicking here or on the icon of the new Idea Book on the left side of my blog.  Then, when you've made your list, you can make your purchases on my website. But wait!  Keep reading. I think you'll want to know about a few more of the wonderful specials this month before you do.

2.  Five for FREE in February:

You can double your layouts with our Five for Free promotion! For each Studio J® 5-pack you purchase this February, you’ll get one free 5-pack. That means you get 10 layouts for just $55—that’s just $2.75 per page, with free shipping. Even if you’re already taking advantage of Studio J’s incredibly low members-only pricing, you’ll save even more when you purchase 5-packs through this special February deal. New to Studio J? This is a great time to try it out and double your pleasure! To order your 5-pack and to get one free, head to my website, click on "Shop Online" then add item #SJ5P. To build your layouts, head to my website, click on "Studio J" and go from there.
 
Also, beginning February 1, you can visit StudioJ.com for a set of instructions for creating five beautifully crafted layouts in Studio J. These instructions are intended to help you become familiar with Studio J and its features. And they're just plain cute, too!

3.  February Stamp of the Month: As always, Close To My Heart has designed a beautiful stamp set that is available during this month only. The February set is called "Thoughtful Tidings" and is full of wonderful sentiments, many of which coordinate with shapes on our CTMH/Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge.  You can see a few fun boxes and 3D items below that the talented Close To My Heart Art Department below. I made the card at the beginning of this post using the set as well. I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest. I love Pinterest, don't you?  Anyhoo...back to the February Stamp of the Month:  if you spend $50, it's yours for only $5 (a $17.95 value). Or, you can purchase it for $17.95. Either way, it's only available during the month of February.  You can order it through me (call me or email me-my contact info is on the top right side!) or through my website. Once your spend $50, you will be prompted to add it, or if you are purchasing it for the $17.95 price, enter item #S1202.



4.  Help Make a Miracle:



Let’s make a miracle by raising funds for Operation Smile®! The Close To My Heart Consultant who raises the most in donations between January 1 and March 31 will have the opportunity to go on an Operation Smile international medical mission where they will work as part of the non-medical staff, alongside doctors and nurses, providing care for children, screening applicants, teaching parents, and assisting in every way in this important endeavor.  You can donate by contacting me or by donating on my website when ordering (you'll be prompted to add your donation before the end of your order).

Imagine. Just rounding up your next order. Then doing it again. It only takes $240 to pay for one surgery and we can SO do it OURSELVES this month! It really only takes a little to give A LOT! 

5.  Brand New Consultant Kit: Along with a new Idea Book also always comes a new Consultant Kit. If you have or are thinking about becoming a Close To My Heart Consultant, this is a great time to do it with a brand new kit!  Our base kit is only $99 (plus shipping and tax) and then there are three add-on kits to choose from at $40 each as well.  My suggestion:  If I were just signing up, I would purchase the basic kit, plus "Choose Me Three" (this includes a three-month Studio J Membership and 5 free two-page layouts).  This Add-On kit alone is worth over $62.50.  I'll even show you the kit contents below. Before I do, let me just tell you how easy it is to sign up:
  • Go to my website
  • Click on "Your Opportunites"
  • Scroll down that page to the bottom until you see the link that says, "To Become a Consultant, click here."  Of course, click there.
  • Once you sign up, Close To My Heart will notify me and I will contact you right away to help you get started. Also, if you have any questions as you are deciding to sign up, I am more than happy to answer them! (Check the top right for my contact info today!)

It's a Mayberry Birthday

This week at Crafty Wednesday, my good friend, Yvonne Wickham (who introduced me to Close To My Heart) presented me with this beautiful card and bookmark for my upcoming birthday. I was so surprised and delighted! She's a fellow consultant and one of my team and just another person I've been blessed to meet through my business.

This card features the Mayberry kit that will debut in the brand new Spring/Summer Idea Book February 1st. You can get your own book now by calling or emailing me; or check it out live on my website this Tuesday!

The bookmark is just darling and made from a washer, some B&T, glitter and Liquid Glass. Fantabulous! Thank you, Yvonne, for the lovely gifts!

Warmly,
Trisha
