FREE PAPER PACK!

Happy Hump Day!

I hope you all had a fun July 4th celebration.

Ours was quite nice.  We always go down to Kiawah Island and spend the day at the beach.  We pack a picnic dinner and then enjoy the fireworks on the beach.

We could not have asked for better weather this year and the firework show was outstanding.

It's always fun viewing them right on the beach.  It's like the fireworks are right over our heads. I am thrilled with the photos I took.  I am using them in Studio J right now.  I am trying some new techniques I learned at the CTMH Convention several weeks ago. I am excited to share my project with y'all once it is complete!

I am offering a FREE PAPER PACK OF YOUR CHOICE to all those who place a minimum $50 order beginning TODAY- July 9th.

This special will run until midnight on July 30th

You can choose any of the current paper packs (up to a $9.95 value) OR you can wait until the new Annual Inspirations Book comes out on August 1st and pick one of the NEW paper packs!  Be sure to check out the retired items list to see if there is a paper pack on that list that you would like.

I have a gathering set up on my website HERE titled "JULY GATHERING."  You will see the link on the right side of the cover page.  Just click the "JOIN" button.

I will draw a name on July 31st for the MYSTERY HOSTESS.  The lucky winner will receive a free shopping spree throughout the current idea book on July 31st!

Don't forget to add the awesome July Stamp of the month to your minimum $50 order.

I am  having lots of fun creating with this "Circus Alphabet Set.  I shared details about this fun alphabet set last week.

I used this stamp set to create these fun project that are perfect for kids to make.  My daughters are looking forward to making them at an upcoming event on July 26th.

MAKE IT A WONDERFUL DAY!

NEW CONSULTANT KIT-2 OPTIONS!

Happy July First!

I just returned from the Close to My Heart Convention which was held at Disneyland.  What a wonderful week it was.  I attended many business and art classes and learned oh.so.much!  I am looking forward to sharing/teaching you all that I learned throughout the next 12 months!

Have you always wanted to attend the CTMH Convention, earn GREAT discounts on FABULOUS product or even be able to order new product the month before it goes live?  If you answered "YES!" to any or all of these questions than you might want to consider joining my CTMH Membership!  Being a member of CTMH allows you to take advantage of GREAT discounts, attend my team training gatherings and Corporate events, opportunity to earn extra income (great for paying bills or supporting your love of craft supplies) and incentive trips, meet and make new friends, set your own hours, etc!  And... beginning TODAY you get to choose 1 of 2 kits to get your membership rolling!

CTMH now offers a Scrapbooking Kit AND a Card Making Kit.  Pictures of both kits are below.  Want to learn more?  Contact me today.  I would LOVE to go over the contents of both with you as well as answer any questions you may have!

Today starts a new month and of course, that means there is a new Stamp of the Month.  The Circus Alphabet is sure to delight the scrapbooker, card maker and paper crafter in all of us.  These two font designs scream "HAPPY" to me!

Like all Stamp of the Month sets, you can purchase this gem for the full retail price of $17.95 OR you can get it for the low, low price of $5.00 with a minimum $50 order!  Be sure to check out the retired items list I posted several weeks ago to see if there are items on your Wish List that are also on the Retired Items list.  There will also be a few price increases starting August 1st.  Here is that list:

Here is a mini album we created while at convention.  We used a Picture My Life Kit that will be available to purchase starting August 1st.  I just love how versatile the Picture My Life Kits are!  They can be used for simple pocket scrapbooking, mini albums, cards, home decor, etc!  This mini album is a quick overview of some special moments created at Convention last week.

Have a lovely evening and be sure to visit again soon!
