It’s that time of year–the time when Close To My Heart announces their Retiring List.  It’s always sad to discover which of their products will be retiring to make room for *NEW* products in the upcoming 2017-2018 Annual Inspirations Catalog (coming August 1st.)  But it’s also a little exciting to know we are that close to some exciting *NEW* products, too!

As usual, you’ll find retiring stamp sets.

And papers.

Embellishments.

Cricut Collections.

Jewelry Elements.

Tools.

Ribbons, How-to Books and more!

Be sure to check out the “Going Soon!” section of MY ONLINE CTMH STORE to see all of the items that will be retiring on July 31st.

These items are all while supplies last so some may sell out much sooner than that retiring date.  Get your favorites before they’re gone!

May is National Scrapbooking Month and this Saturday, May 6th, is National Scrapbooking Day.  Do you have plans to celebrate?  Maybe you’re looking forward to spending some time on projects you’ve wanted to get caught up on?  Maybe it’s just about having some fun with friends doing what you love.

Well, Close To My Heart loves scrapbooking!  We love being able to preserve those moments you never want to forget.  And what better way to preserve them than with some gorgeous papers!  CTMH not only has some exclusive papers to celebrate with, but a beautiful stamp set and a scrapbooking kit, too!  There’s many options so let me break it down for you.

Live Beautifully Paper Pack (16 sheets of gorgeous paper; 12 are double-sided and the other 4 are gold foiled single-sided.)

Live Beautifully Stamp Set (set of 8 lovely images including empowering sentiments.)

Live Beautifully Cut Above Kit (materials to make five coordinating 2-page layouts, including die-cuts, stickers, photo placeholders, and instructions. Plus, it includes six 12″ x 12″ Memory Protectors™!)

Live Beautifully Album Bundle (choose a post-bound or a D-ring album, plus get the complete Live Beautifully Cut Above Kit, adhesive and a journaling pen.)  And the best part about this Album Bundle? You save 20%!  Yep, gotta love that!

And if you love a deal, you’ll love hearing these additional details.  First, if you host a party or submit an order totaling $350 or more, you’ll get the Live Beautifully Cut Above Scrapbooking Kit for FREE! Yep, that’s $44.95 additional you’ll earn for FREE.  So in total, you’d receive $104.95 + any CTMH item for 50% off for submitting a $350 order.  Pretty amazing.

Or maybe you’ve been thinking about becoming a CTMH Consultant.  If that’s the case, May is a great month.  When you sign up, you’ll also receive the Live Beautifully Cut Above Scrapbooking Kit for FREE.

The Consultant Kit is already valued at over $200, so adding in this additional $44.95 kit, makes it a phenomenal deal.  The best part though is getting the $50 Select Product Credit to choose items YOU want and that YOU will use.  =)

As you can see, May is a great time to celebrate your passion for scrapbooking. With several options of exclusive products just for this holiday, there’s no wrong choice!  Be sure to check out all of CTMH’s National Scrapbooking Month specials on MY ONLINE CTMH STORE.

It’s official–Close To My Heart’s Seasonal Expressions 2 Catalog is HERE!

First off, I’m in love with this cover.  But wait until you see what’s inside–it gets better!

How about some magical unicorns and rainbows? Our Little Dreamer Paper Pack is spot on. Rainbows and unicorns are so on trend right now–even Starbucks got in on the action with their recent Unicorn Frappuccino drinks.

Not only are there these adorable papers, but there are some great coordinating rainbow and unicorn stamp sets (and dies!) too.

Then who could use some great beach papers and stamps this summer?  We’ve got you covered!  Our No Worries Paper Pack has a great assortment of weathered wood (which I love!) and palm tree patterns.  And how perfect is the name?  No worries! =)

And how about another on-trend theme?  Introducing our Prickly Pear Paper Pack!  The colors and patterns in this paper pack are so vibrant and festive.

Our final *NEW* paper theme is from the cover of our catalog (did I already mention I love it?!?)  This paper pack is called Jack —super cute name, right? This paper screams masculine and camping.  But just wait, there’s a lot of feminine projects that can be created with it, too.

There’s a lot more to share from this *NEW* catalog. If you’re like me and you just can’t wait, be sure to check out the online version of the Seasonal Expressions 2 Catalog. And if you wish to receive a paper copy, simply EMAIL ME to let me know.
