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!

The new Idea Book became active yesterday AND I got an email from our head office that the Wishes book is ready to go, too! How exciting.

Don't forget, too, that May is our National Scrapbooking Month and the Tickled Pink promotion runs to the end of May.

You can get it by in one of four different ways:
- place a minimum order of $75 in stamp sets (excluding K-size, and Stamp of the Month) and received a Tickled Pink scrapbooking kit FREE!
- purchase it by itself for $43.50 - well below retail value!
- sign up as a new consultant between May 1 - May 31 and receive a kit FREE
- Host a Home Gathering between now and May 31 with minimum sales of $500 and receive a kit FREE.

All the information you need is here: It shows you the beautiful colors, what stamps are included and the die cut sheet that included. PLUS two layouts made using the kit.

The flyer doesn't do the actual colors justice. I was totally won over once I saw it all for myself. Very nice and such a great value!

And the winner is ...

Michelle B!!!!!

Michelle was the fifth person to post using Random.org's random number generator (didn't count myself since I did post a comment once ... lol)

Michelle - email me with the stamp set you want and I will get it out to you as soon as possible!

Congratulations!

Can't help myself ...

I know I said no peeks for the new Idea Book but I am so excited about this ....


Jeannette Lynton, the founder of Close To My Heart, has put out a new book that was originally not going to be available until June 2009 but is expected earlier than that now!!!! So, I cannot control it anymore .... I must show you!


It is a new card book that includes "bulk cardmaking, trendy circle cards, and all new patterns". There are three bulk card workshops that help you make 8, 12, or 16 cards in a jiffy. It also has creative stamping tips and techniques.It cannot be released soon enough for me.

BLOG CANDY!

The end of this month marks 6 MONTHS since I became a Close To My Heart consultant and I'm giving away some blog candy to celebrate!

Post a comment in this thread about WHY you love CTMH products and I will randomly pick from all entries on May 1st to win a prize of a fabulous My Acrylix stamp set. I have FOUR to chose from and the winner can pick the one they want!

If I get over 100 comments, I will do TWO drawings and give away two of the stamp sets - so tell your friends!

ETA: If you leave a comment using "Anonymous", please email me as well since I won't have any way of contacting you or verifying who you are if you are chosen as a winner of a stamp set! There could be 5 or 6 Anonymous and anyone could claim to be the winner.

If you choose Name/URL instead of Anonymous, you don't have to put your full name (First name and last initial works great) and you can leave the URL field blank. Thank you!

Lisa

Did this layout for a challenge on a Facebook Challenge Club I belong to. The challenge was to do a layout about yourself that HAD to include a picture of yourself so I cheated and used one from the past! LOL

Am using this particular layout for my family history scrapbook so have not included the journaling since it will contain a lot of personal vital statistics.

I plan on making a second page for it that contains pictures from different phases of my life on it, but this is a good start.

Products used:
CC1003 - Key To My Heart Paper Pack/Stamp Set (limited availability set but I do have two complete sets if you are interested. Email me for price or details on this package.)
Z2167 - Creme Brulee ink
Z2105 - Black ink
E1002 - Rustic Alphabet Stamp Set
Z1146 - Pewter Decorative Brads
Other - Fiskars Threading Waters Borner Punch, scissors, adhesive

On another note, I have a group on Facebook that anyone can join and you can check out CTMH with Lisa here.

Where were you?

Where were you in 1984?


In 1984 I graduated from highschool ... my son turned one year old ... Farrah Fawcett hair was in ... and Close to my Heart was born! (Formerly known as D.O.T.S. - Dozens of Terrific Stamps)

Jeanette Lynton started her company in 1984 and CTMH is celebrating 25 years!

To celebrate, they are running an amazing special in the month of February. You are the one getting gifts, though. When you spend $25 US / $31.25 CAN in My Acrylix® stamps (K-size customized, Stamp of the Month, and any discounted retired sets excluded), you'll receive a totally cool, custom-designed B-size stamp set, appropriately titled “Good Times.” It’s a celebration-themed set, with a variety of fun party icons and sentiments.

I'm so excited about it, I want to help in the celebration, too. I am running my own 25th Anniversary promotion. Intrigued? Email me for details. It's worth it!


Don't forget about the Stamp of the Month for February! Check it out on page 108 of the Spring 2009 Idea Book. I'm definitely getting this one!
