JUNE 2017 Classes & Specials



Hello Fellow Stampers~

Only a week left to take advantage of the 'Live Beautifully' exclusive products available only during the month of May for National Scrapbooking Month, while supplies last.  This floral paper pack contains 16 sheets of paper: 2 each of 6 double sided designs and 2 each of 2 different single-sided gold foil designs...all for just $14.95!  The coordinating D-size stamp set contains sentiments, titles and floral images for only $17.95!

Close To My Heart is also offering a 'Live Beautifully' Cut Above Layout Kit - this kit contains everything you need to make FIVE 2-page layouts!  For only $44.95, this kit is basically ready to assemble, with pre-cut papers, stickers, gold foil accents and 6 Memory Protectors...all you need is adhesive, 3D foam tape and a journaling pen.  You won't even need a paper trimmer to complete these amazing pages!  These layouts are so simple to put together, I have all the confidence in the world you can do them on your own, so I'm not hosting a workshop for these pages...but I'm here to assist you if necessary.
  
I'm hosting several workshops in June using this paper and stamp set, however products need to be ordered in May, products will not be available to order in June.  Continue reading to find out more information!

Also, Going Soon (retiring) products are listed on my website - be sure to check them out (the list is long!), and order early to guarantee you get products still on your wish list.  View the GOING SOON products online here.  These products must be ordered from my website, but can be added to your online order to save on shipping.

I will be attending my 18th Annual CTMH Convention in Salt Lake City during the week of June 26th, 2017.  A reminder, the current Annual Inspiration catalog will run through July 2017 (all products while supplies last), with a NEW Annual Inspiration catalog going LIVE on August 1st!  Watch for upcoming Catalog Celebration date to be announced soon!

Feel free to share this blog post with your friends who LOVE to stamp, scrapbook and paper-craft.  I always appreciate your referrals...and I love to reward YOU too!  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued friendship and support...I truly appreciate YOU!

Helping you preserve the memories that matter most...

Thanks to each of you who helped to make last month's "15 Minute Memories" campaign such a success!  Several of you purchased the 50% off Cut Above layout kits that had never scrapbooked before, and I've received some nice feedback.  Even scrapbookers who hadn't tried the Cut Above Layout kits before found them easy and rewarding (myself included) to assemble! Preserving memories in minutes...love that!
