2010 Layout Challenge

I don't know what I've got myself into but a fellow CTMH Consultant has issued a challenge to the rest of us Consultants to do between 120-150 layouts in 2010! Why oh why do I do this to myself!!!! She recommended 120-150 but I opted in for 100 - about 2 a week - which to me is (maybe) do-able.

We will all be posting the layouts on our blogs with the label of "2010 Layout Challenge" so we can keep track of one another.

Stay tuned - it should be fun!

If you want to play along, let me know ... I'll try and think up something fun to do while we are in the process and maybe a little something-something for someone at the end of it all! Comment if you're interested or have any questions.

To see all the CTMH Consultants playing along see the right side panel for links.

(ETA: I think I will cave to peer pressure. The lowest anyone else is committing to is 120 so will change my amount to that .... keep your fingers crossed!)

Meet Felicity ...

I have been so crazy busy with work and TRYING to get all of my Xmas cards made and mailed out (plus all the other fun stuff that goes with the holiday season - like shopping ...lol) that I haven't had time to play with this yet but I have FOUR glorious days off next week to play to my heart's content and that's exactly what I am planning on doing. I love the die cut papers and the colors are really growing on me .... they got me thinking outside my comfort zone of colors and I am just loving the combinations Close To My Heart have come up with on this one.

I can't believe I am going to say this but, yes, I am liking the orange in combination with the other colors! Gasp! (Orange and yellow are my least fave colors to use when scrapping - I usually find them so hard to use) I am actually looking forward to working with this kit now! Yep, I am going to live on the edge! :-)

Starting tomorrow (15 December 2009) and until 31 January 2010 you can get this beautiful kit in your home in several ways ... and I do mean beautiful. The more I look at it, the more I love it and am contemplating getting a second kit! :-)

The kit features decorative die cut papers, three stunning color schemes and a D size stamp set that includes flowers, flourishes, argyle patterns, birds and an entire alphabet!

To get your hands on Felicity:

1. Purchase a minimum of $70 or more in full retail priced stamp sets (A, B, C, D, or E sized only) and you can get the Felicity kit for FREE

2. Place an order of $145 or more in full retail priced Close To My Heart products and get the Felicity kit for FREE.

3. Be the Hostess of a Home Gathering and get the package FREE with a Gathering sales total of $470 or more.

4. Join the Close To My Heart family as a new Consultant in January 2010 and you get the Felicity kit for FREE with your New Consultant Kit!

You can also purchase the kit without doing any of the above at the full retail price of $40.95

If you'd like to see more of this kit, check out the flyer for it HERE.

Felicity is in the house!!!

Felicity is the newest campaign from CTMH that starts December 16th. As a Consultant, I get a chance to get it early and when I saw the flyer I couldn't wait to put in my order.

If you love the look of Felicity when you see the flyer when the promo starts, you are going to love it even more when you see it in person!! My order arrived today and I couldn't get into the box fast enough.

LOVE the color combinations and the diecut papers (yep, you saw that right!). The real kicker is the project sheet that is also included. The projects they completed using this kit are STUNNING! If the papers don't sell you, the sheet showing what you can do with those same papers will! Cannot wait to lift them all.

The stamp set that's included is super cute, too, and very versatile.

You have got to get yourself a kit! Seriously!

More details in a week or so ... but well worth the wait!

Temptation

Been curious about the EXCLUSIVE stamp sets that come in the Kit of the Month?? Here they are. Sorry the pics aren't better but did the best I could.

If you've been sitting on the fence about getting one of these fabulous kits, this might push you off the edge! LOL They are super cute and fun!

October uses our Twitterpated patterned papers.

November uses our Grace patterned papers.

December uses our Jingle patterned papers (great for Xmas or any celebration!)

January uses our Sweet Home patterned papers.

Reminder!

Just a reminder that Stampaganza is still going on and you only have until the end of this month to get in on (what I think is) one of the BEST campaigns that Close To My Heart has, especially if you're a stamper and/or building up your collection!

Seriously! Buy TWO stamp sets and get ONE free! It's a no-brainer!

If you're wish list include stamp sets that are retiring at the end of this year, now is the time to snap them up because once they are gone, they are gone! It's only while supplies last don't forget.

Stamp sets retiring as of 31 December 2009:

Can you believe it? September just flew by. All good intentions of being uber creative flew by as well and can honestly say I did nothing creative all month! *gasp* Nothing!

I will be happy once my creative space is all cleaned out and the excess sold off so I can actually move in there and find things! lol Probably the mojo will have some room to inspire me then 'cause it's sure not working right now. LOL

Stay tuned! The scrapbook supply yard sale is on the 11th so will have something for you all to view after that. There is a Twitterpated WOTG Kit sitting on my desk waiting for some attention!

Scrapbook Supply Yard Sale!

It's official! I am going to have my scrapbook supply yard sale on October 11th from 10am to 2pm. It's all stuff from my personal stash (including some CTMH items I am not needing anymore). If you need details and live in the Kamloops BC area, send me an email and will provide more details.

Order going in!

OK girls! Putting an order in on the 27th or 28th so get them into me as soon as possible. You know how to reach me! lol

New Art and Soul Episode is up and fantastic!

The new Art and Soul episode is up and I love the ideas it shows! Can't wait to try them out!

If you haven't seen any of the episodes posted, they are well worth watching. Not all of the deals are available still on the older ones, but the ideas make it worthwhile. For many of them, some of the products are still available and others can be changed for other products. If you have any questions, just email me.

Check out the current one HERE ... older ones are listed on the left ... just click on the one you want to watch.

She said "Yes"!!!

Laurie was kind enough to agree to let me post this on Facebook etc so here it is!

She had asked me to do a memorial layout for her about her mom, dad, and nephew. She didn't want it really flowery which is hard for me because I LOVE my blossoms! LOL Went for something semi-fancy but still masculinish with just pops of cranberry to go with her mom's top. Looks so much better in real life but you get the idea! LOL

The black edge is actually the frame I put the layout in. No, it's not a double page layout, it's actually a 11"x20" frame since a 12x12 would have been too small and the original frame of 12x36 was wayyyy too big. LOL
Silhouette Paper Pack : Cranberry cardstock : Bamboo cardstock: Cranberry Grosgrain ribbon : Bamboo dye ink : Cranberry brads : Black ink : Sponge daubers : Clear photo corners : Mono Tombo adhesive : Key To My Heart Stamp Set (flourishes in upper corners).
Unfortunately the Key To My Heart Stamp Set was only part of a campaign a while ago and can no longer be purchased, though I do have an two extra sets I am willing to sell. Email me if you are interested, otherwise they are going in my Scrapbook Supply garage sale in October.

Where does time go?

What happened to summer? Seriously .... it vanished in a blink of an eye!

One great thing about the end of summer and the arrival of fall is the Fall/Winter Idea Book! This one is simply amazing! I love ALL of the new paper packs and the artwork is stunning!!! My wish list is huge and can't wait to start playing with all the new goodies!

If you want a quick peak at it, just go here! Just click on the Autumn/Winter Idea Book to see what I'm talking about.

Want one of your own in your hot little hands? Email me to find out how to get one!

On another note, I finally created something this week. LOL One of the great ladies I work with commissioned me to do a memorial layout for her and it turned out better than I had hoped and she liked it! Yay!

I forgot to ask her if it was okay to share it with everyone (I did take a picture of it) but will check with her and post it if it's okay with her.

I also ordered the Twitterpated Workshop Kit and can't wait to get all creative with it. Love that it comes with a stamp set exclusive to the kit. Will be getting all four of them and getting some classes together for everyone ... will keep you posted on when and how much!

Well, hope everyone enjoys the rest of their Labor Day weekend! "See" you all soon!

Lots of stuff to tell you about ... Customer Thanks-a-Bration and more!

This update is a bit late in the month but we had a death in the family at the end of July which shifted our priorities for a while. Better late than never though!

----- The Fall/Winter Idea books are in my hot little hands and I've already got my wish list all drawn up! LOL Those of you who placed an order from the previous Idea Book will be getting this one FREE and am planning on dropping them off around 01 September when they go live. They are chalk full of creative ideas and techniques and some of the new stamps ..... Whoa! So stinking cute and fun! And that's all I'm telling you about that! Such a tease!

If you'd like a new Idea Book, email me and I can drop one off to you. If you're a new client or you didn't order from the last Idea Book you got from me, it's only $2.25 (my cost) ....waaaaaaay cheaper than any craft or scrapbooking magazine out there. PLUS, when you do place an order from it during the time it's valid (01 September - 31 December), I will deduct the $2.25 from your order total so all those amazing creation ideas and techniques would be FREE - even better!
Also, don't forget, if you're a new client to me, I always take 10% off your very first order (one time only) as a welcome to you!

----- More exciting news .... I now accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express directly! Woohoo! No more checks to write, not having enough cash on hand or waiting form me to send you a PayPal invoice .... It's just like shopping at a regular store! Super convenient!!!!

----- Though this update is late, the August promotion has a couple days left on it ... If you purchase $124.95 between today and 17 August, Close To My Heart will send you one of our Level 2 Paper Packs absolutely FREE (15.95 value) - and they do mean free. There won't even be any additional shipping charges or taxes added to your total!!!! You won't even know which one they are sending you so it will be a complete surprise when your order arrives. Like Xmas in August! How fun is that!? The other bonus is that because you've already spent the $124.95 to receive the FREE paper pack, it also qualifies you to get the August Stamp of the Month for FREE too! FREE is good!

Don't forget you only have a couple days left to get in on this promotion. More details can be found by clicking HERE.

Now don't think they've short-changed you this month by just running that promotion to the 17th .... the new one starts the very next day and lasts until the end of September!

----- Everyday Celebration: From 18 August to 30 September when you purchase a minimum of $75 in My Acrylix Stamps (A, B, C, D or E size) you will receive an Everyday Celebrations Card Kit for FREE!!!! ($49.95 value) The kit includes enough product to complete 16 cards and comes with a coordinating stamp set as well. Click HERE for more details on this promotion.

----- The new Art and Soul video is up on the website, too ... I highly recomment you check it out! If you haven't seen the previous ones, they are well worth taking the time to watch as well. They really make some amazing creations on CTMH TV.

Whew! I think I'm finally caught up!

I'm on holidays for the next 10 glorious days (glorious because I'm not at work - the weather....not so glorious! lol) so I am hoping to get a fair bit of creating done! *crossing my fingers*

Have a scrappy day!!!!

Getting sidetracked ....

I have been a very bad blogger ... I sincerely apologize. I can't believe it's been over a month since I posted or created anything!

You know how you go through life and hit little bumps in the road? Well, it's been like that lately for me (and my family) ... and my scrappy mojo went with it. Then you get broadsided by something totally unexpected that really makes you sit back and evaluate your life and what is really important.

I won't go into details but the time has come to start making time for the things and people I care about ... including my scrapbooking. I am taking a little time each and every day and doing something scrapbook related so I hope to post more often for you all.

Thanks for your patience!!!

Happy scrapping!

DEAL-A-DAY!!!!

LOVE A GREAT DEAL? HOW ABOUT 30 GREAT DEALS? You'll love our landslide of deals available only on MyCTMH websites, including mine!

In June, you'll find a different deal each day on my MyCTMH website - a product special available only that day and only while supplies last! (Tax and shipping/handling may apply. Deals are available for 23 hours beginning on the day announced and while supplies last. New deals are posted at 9:00am (MT) each day of June.)

Watch for popular products offered FREE with a stamp set purchase (size A, B, C, D or E only; excludes K-size and Stamp of the Month) and all-the-rage goodie boxes filled with enviable items priced well below retail. Irresistible shipping discounts are included!!!

Check my website every day in June for that day's deal and add to your scrapbooking and cardmaking supplies while saving a bundle. Remember, each special is good only for that day, only while supplies last, and only on MyCTMH websites. Visit often and save!

THE BONUS!!!

For each order you place on my website during the month of June, you will receive one entry into a draw once the month of June is over for your choice of either A) one of our idea books located on pages 12-13 of the Summer Idea Book ($27.50-$37.50 value) -OR- B) one complete Tickled Pink kit (valued $43.50) - in case you missed out during the May promotion!!! If you order two or three times each day, you will receive multiple entries!

THE BASICS!!!

1. Campaign details: Runs June 1 - June 30 and features a different porduct special each day in June. Take advantage of a different deal each day during June only on my MyCTMH website. Each deal will run from 9am (MT) to 8am the following day (23 hours). The item posted June 30 will run until 8am on July 1.

2. There will be TWO different types of "deals" offered on MyCTMH sites through this exciting promotion:

1. Receive a free item with a qualifying purchase. On 24 of the 30 days in June, you can receive a specially selected current product absolutely FREE when you purchase a My Acrylix stamp set, size A, B, C, D or E (Excluding Stamp of the Month and customized or K-size sets). Shoppers will also save big on shipping when orders meet all Deal-a-Day guidelines.
2. Receive 50% off or more on "Great Goodies" boxes. On 6 of the 30 days in June, you can purchase a "mystery" box filled with "Great Goodies". Contents will vary by box and include both current and retired favorite stamps sets, paper packs, embellishments, and other great products. The six "Great Goodies" boxes will all have different pricing of at least 50% off retail, with some at even deeper discounts! Note that every effort has been made to differentiate the 6 "Great Goodies" options so you can purchase boxes on different dates and receive a wide variety of differing products! No qualifying purchase is required on the days a "Goodies" box is the deal; discounted shipping is also available when orders meet all Deal-a-Day quidelines.

3. On days a qualifying purchase of a stamp set is required to receive a free item, you need to put the stamp set in the cart BEFORE the free item may be added and checked out.

4. To receive the reduced shipping available, Deal-a-Day purchases must include ONLY Deal-a-Day items and nothing else. So ...

• On "Great Goodies" days, only one "Great Goodies" box and no other items may be checked out in a single transaction


• On the "free item with qualifying purchase" days, only one stamp set and the free item may be checked out in one transaction.

If there are additional or different items in the cart, the system will not recognize the purchase as a "Deal-a-Day" purchase and neither the "deal" nor the discounted shipping will be accepted.

4. An image of each daily deal can be found on the day it's offered on a special page on MyCTMH online shopping sites. Look for the June Deal-a-Day link to see that day's deal - except for the Great Goodies boxes, of course! You won't find an image of what's in the boxes - it's supposed to be a surprise! Remember, it's a "mystery" box.

5. Tax is charged on the actual amount the customer pays for the item.

6. Discounted pricing for shipping is:

• Free items Shipping/Handling: Includes one stamp set and the free item = $4 CAN


• Great Goodies Boxes Shipping/Handling: Shipping will be based on the price of each Great Goodies box, but will be deeply, deeply discounted and represent only a fraction of the value of the contents. Shipping prices will be clearly posted at checkout on each day that a Great Goodies box is offered. As a little hint, Great Goodies boxes shipping to Canada will range from $13 - $22 CAN. As another peek: note that the retail value of these boxes will range as high as $300 US! This is going to be an incredible value for shoppers all the way around.

7. The Deal-a-Day promotion is ONE per order of either the free item with qualifying purchase or Great Goodies box. If you want more than one per day, it requires a customer to return to make a subsequent, seperate order of a single stamp set and one free item OR one Great Goodies box. So if you want, for example, three Great Goodies boxes, you must do three seperate transactions, checking out after each one.

8. Since some of the product that will be received in the Great Goodies box may be retired, you are not able to exchange or refund any of the items.

If you have any questions about this fabulous promotion, email me, and I will get back to you right away.

I will TRY and post each deal each day on here, time allowing so check either my website and click on June Deal-a-Day OR my blog!
