HAPPY CTMH SUMMER IDEA BOOK GOES LIVE DAY!

Yes! Today the Close To My Heart 2009 Summer Idea Book goes live! If you don't already have a copy of the fantabulous Idea book please contact me today and I will be happy to deliver one to you. The cost is $3.95 or FREE with a minimum $25 order or FREE if you host a gathering! You can also view the Idea book online at my website http://www.amy.myctmh.com/.

Here is a photo of a card I made using the May Stamp of the Month. I love this stamp set! It is called "Be Yourself "(#D1349) and it is available NOW! This stamp set includes 14 images-6 sentiments and 8 image stmaps. I created the card you see on the right using the "Be yourself" stamp set (#D1349), the Silhouette Colletion Creative Basics Packet (#X5803), Baby Pink Cardstock (#1299), the Colonial White Designer Ribbon Rounds Collection (#Z1126) and the black ink pad (#Z2105).

You, too, can create this card and many more using this fabulously fun stamp set! You can even take advantage of the awesome Stamp of the Month Program and earn the stamp set at a discount or even FREE. Heres how:

*You can purchase the stamp set for the retail price of $22.95

*You can spend $25 (before shipping and tax) and earn the May Stamp of the Month for 25% off ($17.21)

*You can spend $50 (before shipping and tax) and earn the May Stamp of the Month for 50% off ($11.48)

*You can spend $100 (before shipping and tax) and earn the May Stamp of the Month for FREE!

The "Tickled Pink" promotion is still going strong throughout the month of May, too! I shared information about this amazing special several weeks ago but here is a quick review (Thank you Karen Pederson for doing the math!):

Spend $60 on stamp sets and get the Tickled Pink Promotion FREE ($41.65 value).
Purchase the Crystal Blue Stamp Pad (Z2117), Sweet Leaf (Z2153) and Hollyhock Stamp Pads (Z2128) ($5.25 each for a total of $15.75 together. Add this to your $60 in stamp sets and you are now at $75.75 before shipping and tax with $41.65 free (over 50% of the value of what you are purchasing). You'll use these stamp pads to create your Tickled Pink projects.
Add the 3" x 3" Acrylic Block (Y1006 - $8.50) and the 2" x 6.5" Acrylic Block (Y1010 - $9.95) and the 2" x 2" Acrylic Block (YY1003 - $6.50) to your order for a total of $100.70 (before shipping and tax). Now you qualify for the May Stamp of the Month FREE ($22.95 value). If you choose this idea, you will be spending $100.70 before shipping and tax and receiving $64.60 in free products. That's approximately 65% of the value of what you purchased. WOO HOO! Of course there may be other products you choose to purchase than the ones I suggested, but you get the picture, right?

There is another feature to the "Tickled Pink" speacial that begins today! Anyone who signs up to be a Close To My Heart Consultant between May 1-31st will recieve the "Tickled Pink" kit absolutely FREE! I'd love to have you join my team and become a member of my CTMH family! This is the BEST job! Consultants make money, have fun and I provide lots of support and training as your team leader!

I am furthering the "Tickled Pink" promotion by inviting all those who earn the kit for FREE back to my home in early June for a FREE workshop. I will help you create your layous AND guide you in creating 2 cards using your left-over products. You will also receive a goodie bag!

The entire night you will be "Tickled Pink!" If you are long distance and can not attend the FREE Evening-I will send you photos and instructions to create your cards in the comfort of your own home AND I will mail you your goodie bag, too!
