Winner and new specials

Hello, friends!

First, I wanted to announce the winner of all of the mystery hostess rewards.


Congratulations, Javanah Shelby! You are the winner of all the hostess rewards for the month which totaled at $440! I will be contacting you today, but in the meantime you can start making your list! How exciting!

Next, I wanted to tell you all about this month's specials. 

Let's start with the stamp of the month. This stamp set is called Cheers 2016! and super cute! Why do you need this set? I think the biggest selling point of this set are the journaling lines. These are so great for scrapbooking! I love being able to make my own journaling spots and these will help you do just that. Besides the typography being very on trend this set includes the cutest banners!. They are perfect for cards and will add that little bit extra!

Here are a few projects made using this set.

Next up for this month, Close To My Heart is selling an album bundle. 

It is perfect for those of you who scrapbook or those of you who are wanted to start scrapbooking. The bundles includes supplies and instructions on how to make these four layouts plus lots left over to make more layouts or some cards. Don't want to make the set layouts? No problem. There are plenty of supplies to make several layouts with your own designs.

The bundle includes:

Choice of album (5 different patterns and two different types)

Fundamental Stickers Enchantment Pack

Fundamental Assortment Peacock

Paper Fundamentals Enchantment

12" X 12" White Daisy Cardstock

Memory Protectors™ Value Pack (choice of top or side load)

The bundle is $71.80, so that is an amazing discount of $19.95! I will be posting a video about this bundle on Tuesday, so make sure you check back in with me then! Click here to buy => November Album Bundle Special

Memorial Day special!

Hello, friends!

I wanted to pop in really quickly and extend a holiday weekend special! Spend $50 in my Close To My Heart store and get the Blossom card kit for FREE (a $24.95 value)! This special is while supplies last, so place your order today!

Why do you want the Blossom card kit you may wonder? 

First, it has an amazing stamp set that come with it. Remember that popcicle card I made earlier in the month? Well, those adorable popcicles are from this kit! 

Second, the paper included to make those adorable cards is one of the cutest I have seen Close To My Heart design. The floral patterned paper alone is worth the price of admission!

Next, the kit comes with all you need to make a beautiful set of cards! You get a booklet with full instructions, patterned paper, cardstock, embellishments, and the wonderful stamp set I mentioned earlier!

I will run this special until Wednesday or whenever I run out of kits, so don't hesitate. Put in your $50 or more order today and I will send out this wonderful kit!

Hello, 2015 and a new month!

Hello, friends!

It is a new year and a new month, so I thought I would share with you this month's specials!

Before I tell you all about this month's specials, I wanted to tell you that a random December customer has been selected. I have emailed her and will announce her name once she gets back to me. The hostess rewards ended up being over $1100! That is a ton of crafty goodness people!

First off, let's take a look at this month's Valentine themed Stamp of the Month!

This great stamp set, called This Moment, coordinates with the Artbooking cartridge! It can be yours for only $5 (a savings of $12.95) with any purchase you make over $50 this month.

Here are some great things that have been made with this set!

The next really great special is in celebration of National Month!

Close To My Heart invites you to reflect on the things that make you who you are and on what you want to accomplish in the coming months. Then, with the help of the Year >> Noted paper kit, record your experiences and goals! 

During the month of January, with a qualifying purchase of $50, you are eligible to purchase the exclusive Year >> Noted paper kit (which has a retail value of over $24 USD / $27 CAD) for only $5—that’s over 80% off retail! 

For an additional $5, you can order the Year >> Noted paper kit with an accompanying My Creations™ kraft mini book. The paper kit for both options includes a C-size stamp set, stickers, cardstock, and B&T Duos™ papers, all specially designed to coordinate with the My Creations™ kraft mini book so you can have a yearlong scrapbooking experience. This means you will receive over $34 USD / $37 CAD worth of product for only $10 if you purchase the kit with the accompanying mini book! But the fun doesn’t end there—included on the sticker sheet, you will find a large golden seal. Once the year is done and all the pages are filled, seal up your book and create a mini time capsule that you can open years from now. Remember, this deal is only available for January, so make sure to get your own Year >> Noted paper kit today for the perfect start to a crafty year!

Dates: Offer valid January 1, 2015–January 31, 2015.

Here is some of the artwork you can make using these goodies.

 Here are my graphics to break things down.

May day may day!

Hello, friends!

I have a few updates on my health that I want to share with you today. Last Wednesday the 23rd, I had surgery to remove the cancerous tumor from my right lung. When they opened up my chest they found that the tumor had attached itself to my diaphragm, pericardium, sternum, upper right lobe, and one of my ribs. They were able to get the tumor off of everything but the rib which they removed. I was in the hospital for 4 days and am now at home healing. I'm in pain, but I am getting better everyday. 

I see my oncologist this week again to talk about a few rounds of chemo they want me to do. While I am not looking forward to chemo, I know it has to be done and I will make it through. 

Thank you all so very much for all of the prayers, well wishes, and cards! I am certain that things are going well and I am still here because of all of those prayers. You are more appreciated than you will ever know. When I call you my friends at the beginning of every blog post, know that it is how I really feel! You are all my friends and I think the world of all of you! Thank you!

Today is the first day of the month and that means a new special and Stamp of the Month. This month's special is a really great one too!

Plus, with your $50 qualifying purchase, you will also qualify for the May Stamp of the Month for an additional $5 (retail value of $17.95). This means May is the perfect month to double up on promotions; getting the paper collection for $5 and the May Stamp of the Month for $5 saves you nearly $20! Make sure to get your own
