Today is the Last Day!

Today is the last day to this super versatile stamp set. With three frames and nine different sayings in one set its a must-have for any stamper! This is the set we used for my last card work shop. I will post pictures soon. Do you want to get "Framed"? Don't delay!

What's a STAMP OF THE MONTH?
 
Each month Close to My Heart has one stamp set that is only available for that month. You can purchase it for full price at $17.95, or save over 70% and get it for just $5 when you place an order of $50 or more on my shopping website. Stamp of the Months are only available during their assigned month, once they're gone, they're gone! To find the current Stamp of the Month on my shopping website, go to the "promotions" tab in the top bar and pull down to Stamp of the Month.

Only a few more days left....

Do you remember this workshop I posted last year? Did you not love those stamp sets? If you do - you may want to hurry and get those sets now - in a few days they will be gone! My favorite here is "O Holy Night". It is one stamp, but you can use it in so many different ways - even on your scrapbook layouts!

I used "Love Ya Silly" another one of my favorites :)

Love Ya Silly

Item Number: B1470

 

Right now we still have lots of great items available on our Retirement List - remember - when they are gone - they are gone! There are a number of items, that have gone "unavailable" already.

Take care and have fun!

August 2015 workshop - you are invited!

August 27 @ 10 AM and 7 PM, Thursday

We will make some fun summer cards. Its still summer, and I love these colors! This is a sample of the new Zoe paper pack and the August Stamp of the Month set. You may want to make multiples of these two cards or another style - come and see what you would like to do! We normally make at least 3 project. We will see how many projects we can fit into our time!

Check my blog if you would like to see details about the previous workshops and how we put the cards together!

The fee will be $10, that will cover the supplies for the cards and the fee for the meetup group and me pre-cutting the projects. So, please if you RSVP, let me know if you cannot make at least a day in advance, thank you.

Please RSVP as soon as possible to hold your spot, I always have several people attend who are not part of the meetup group, thanks. Space is limited - I already have several people who said, they want to come! Please let me know if you prefer a morning or evening class - I may add a morning class if I have enough interest for it.

Please let me know if you would like me to add a scrapbooking class as well. Several people have expressed an interest in that. I will also need to know if you will be available in the morning or evening.

If you do not have any of the items below, please contact me and I can help you get them either ordered or let you know which of the items we will use that evening. Check my website for the items you may want to stock your toolbox with :).

Your basic tool kit for scrapbook or card classes should be:

• Scissors

• favorite adhesive: tombow style adhesive, glue dots, glue pen

• foam mounting tape

• bone folder

You may also want to bring:

• 12" trimmer

• ruler

• pencil

• cutting mat

• exacto knife

• tweezers

• piercing tool

• sponging and sanding tool

• corner rounder

We may not always use all of these items, but its a good thing to have these items in your "tool box". You can always order additional items at my website before you come to class :) and I always have extra supplies on hand, but things will go smoother if you have your own items with you. I will have all the other supplies for you like paper, embellishments, etc.

Thanks, hope to hear from you soon!

If you would like order any of the supplies needed - please go to my website, thanks or contact me for any questions. Thanks :)

Happily Stamping,

Retiring Items and While Supplies Last As we all wait for the new book in September to come live, we have lots of items to choose from at great prices! You don't want to miss any of your favorite items in the "Retiring Items" list or the "While Supplies" last list. Here is the difference between the two, the latter has items, that have been retired and will not be replenished. Most of the items have been reduced in price, some of them quite deeply. When the items are gone - they are gone! It also pays to keep checking this list, since the company keeps adding on a regular basis to this list. The Retiring List has items that can be there until August 30, however - it is also while supplies last on some items. We can get more supplies on some items. As we just reprinted some of our papers, but we cannot guarantee that all the items will be there through the end of the book. As you can see some of the supplies have already sold out. So, if you have some favorites - get them now! Since we are talking retiring - here are the colors that will be retiring: This is it for this month - please make sure you keep checking my blog and my facebook for updates! If you are not on facebook, let me know I would love to stay in touch with you with other means. We are about to launch the new idea book and we have always newsflashes I would love to bring your way - I would hate for you to miss something. I would like to serve you - please let me know how I can do that the best way. Oh - one more thing! At convention, we were informed how much we have supported Operation Smile in the passed 10 years! Can believe, it has been that long? We now have upped how much of the Operation Smile stamp set will go to that charity and we offer a T-Shirt with the proceeds going to that charity. If you would like to help share a smile - you may want to purchase a T-shirt! Thank you! Have a great day and I will talk to you soon. Happily stamping,   Margit McCabe Close to my Heart We show you how to celebrate relationships through discovering your creativity, to preserve and share the moments that matter most.
