Christmas Wish List

Christmas is just around the corner. If CTMH products are what you'd like for Christmas, send me your wish list or have your family or friends send it to me, so you can get exactly what you want this year. If I have all orders by Sunday, December 6th, I should receive them in time for Christmas. I also have gift certificates available for purchase.

Note: Would you like the chance to earn FREE Close To My Heart products? Join our monthly Hostess Club. This is an "open" club, so there is no monthly commitment or requirement. Whoever participates, by placing a $15 minimum order, will be placed on a list. Attending class is optional, but why miss out on the fun? Depending on our sales, the top name (or two or three or four, etc.) from the list will receive $20 in Hostess Rewards each. Participation is optional, but in order for your name to move up the list to receive Hostess Rewards, you have to participate that month. If you choose not to participate, your name will fall to the bottom of the list and you will not be eligible for Hostess Rewards. You may participate as often or as little as you like, and you may join the club at any time. Please contact me for complete details or with any questions you may have.

The idea for this Christmas List book came from Lisa Johnson. We will be using Jingle papers and colors, as well as the October Stamp of the Month, Holiday Warmth.

There's a ribbon that holds a pen in place.

There are mini envelopes adhered inside, for keeping track of coupons and receipts.

Since it's October, I had to make a Halloween card. The idea for this card came from CTMH's Wishes card book. This is a GREAT book and has tons of ideas for all kinds of cards.

Grace Celebrations Cards

I created these cards, so I could showcase the new paper collections from CTMH in the Autumn/Winter Idea Book. I'll post a new set each day, so be sure to check back!

These cards are 6x6 and were created using the Grace paper collection.

Contact me if you'd like more information about what I used to create these cards.

Sweet Home Celebrations Cards

The cards were created using the Sweet Home paper collection.

Contact me if you'd like more information what products I used to create these cards.

Jingle Celebrations Cards

These 6x6 cards were created from the new Christmas paper collection, Jingle. The colors are non-traditional, but they're still very pretty. These papers could be used for birthday cards and layouts, too.

Contact me if you'd like more information about what I used to create these cards.

Workshops on the Go

For the Autumn/Winter Idea Book, the Workshops on the Go program underwent a slight face lift. Now, there is a kit available for purchase that includes a full-color brochure, a Level 2 paper pack, a full-size coordinating embellishment and a new, exclusive B-size stamp set that can only be found in the kit. Retail value of the items in the kits range from $32-$36, but the kits can be purchased for $29.95 each!

The brochure itself received a face lift, too. Now, in addition to the new, exclusive layout design, there is a new, exclusive card design (which is shown to give you 3 different cards). The additional projects also include a layout and cards. You can create any combination of layouts and cards! And, you will probably still have some paper left over!

Contact me if you're interested in learning more about these awesome kits.
