OCTOBER SCRAPBOOK PROJECTS

Greetings!

Oh how I love this time of year.  I love when the temperature starts getting color, the leaves on the trees start changing colors and I love all the festive days there are to celebrate!  And that is just what we are going to do at my October Scrapbook Class!

A big thank you goes out to my dear friend, Karen Pederson, for sharing the inspiration behind these fabulous scrapbook layouts.  I had so much fun creating the layouts for our October class.  The Scaredy Cat papers, stickease and assortments made me want to reach for the candy corn, apples and carmel and pumpkin spice!  I hope you enjoy these layouts as much as I do!

Our class will meet on Thursday, October 16th 6:30-9:00 p.m.  Please place your orders on/before OCTOBER 1st.

If you are interested in joining a monthly scrapbook club and earning FREE products or if you would like more infomration about my scrapbook clubs please be sure to ask!  I'd love to share this fabulously fun club with you!  The monthly scrapbook club is open to both local and long distance indivudals.  

Morning classes are available upon request.

If you are unable to attend the actual class you are most welcome to order a "Kit To Go."  All your products and cutting diagrams will be shipped right to your doorstep (if you live far away-postage cost will be added) OR you can stop over and pick your kit up if you live close by.

Close To My Heart is hosting a special during the month of October.  For each $50 order you will receive- as a special bonus- one of two chevron ribbons FREE!  Each chevron ribbon-Ruby or Outdoor Denim-hase an original retail value of $6.95.  Either color of the ribbon could be added automatically to your qualifying order, bringing an element of surprise to this exciting promotion!  Keep in mind that a $50 order also qualifies you to receive the festive Home  For The Holidays Stamp of the Month for just $5.  That means that with the free ribbon and the discounted stamp set, you save $19.90 on awesome paper crafting products!

Below you will see the layouts we will be creating, along with the shopping list. 

If you want your layouts to look like mine, I suggest you add the following products to your order:

Greetings!

I hope you had a nice weekend!

Last week I shared with you information about the fun and fabulous way CTMH is celebrating National Stamping Month.

Close To My Heart created this awesome stamp set #30yearsofhappy in honor of this fun holiday!

And we can get this stamp set absolutely FREE during the month of September. 

With a minmim of a $30 stamp set order this set is YOURS!

I am really enjoying creating with these mini images.

Here is a Picture My Life Card I came up with last week.

I used the Wanderful Paper Pack (#X7191B), Wanderful Assortment (#X7191C) and the new Arrow Embossing Folder (#Z1993).

The picture above show the front side of the card, as well as the backside.

 ...AND NOW FOR MY EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL!

I have been working hard to earn the Close To My Heart Incentive Trip to Hawaii since last October.  I have just 30 days remaining to earn this trip.  This trip is extra-special to me this year because it takes place over my husband’s birthday AND it is to Hawaii.  My husband, Stan, and I will be celebrating our 20th year of marriage in 2015.  We honeymooned on Hawaii and I would LOVE to take him back to celebrate both his birthday AND our anniversary.  

I can’t earn this trip without your help.  To thank you for your help in reaching my goal, I will be giving away $30 in CTMH product (of YOUR choice) for every minimum $100 order placed.  All you have to do is call or email me your order and I will do the rest for you.  This special is only available through me so you must contact me with your order.  When you place your $100 order, not only will you receive an additional $30 in product of your choice from ME, you will also qualify to purchase the September stamp of the month for just $5.00 AND if you happen to have at least $30 in stamps in that $100 order-you will earn the #30daysofhappy stamp set for free.  That adds another $31.90 value in additional to the $30 of free product I am giving you.  So you will get $61.90 worth of product for just $105!  That is more than 50% of FREE!  This special is only valid on personal orders.  It can not be applied to workshop and class fees.  

I know many of us are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the exclusive ARTFULLY SENT CRICUT BUNDLE.  We are told that is should become available, hopefully, in the next 2 weeks.  You can apply my special to this purchase should it become available, if you did not already take advantage of my special back in July.   Please just email me a.s.a.p if you plan to do this so I can put you on the reservation list for this product.  

I want to thank you, in advance, for your support in helping me earn this trip.  Please feel free to share my special with family and friends.  If you have any questions, please be sure to contact me!

Make it an awesome week!

Thanks for your support, 

Amy
