AHHHH....September.....Summer is winding down....fall, holidays, snow, so many things to look forward to that are coming up soon.  I am amazed to see beautiful fall colors on the mountains already!  As we head indoors it is a great time for scrapbooking and projects.  A good time to make Christmas cards before the holiday rush.  It is Expo month for us and we are excited for that....coming up during the last weekend in September.  We have a discount code to save you a bit getting in. It is CLOSE2.  It helps out with our costs so we would love to have you use it!!!!

 Now is the time to sign up for September's Creative Class and we are using  the Scholastic CTMH paper kit.  It is rich and great for masculine pages but could work for girls too, you may want to use it for school, but it is not necessarily limited to school...  Would be great for any "super amazing" event or any time there is a story to be told.  I have a lot of pictures of my kids reading that would work well or pictures of the spelling bee or graduation.  How about a blue ribbon event at the fair. There is a cute library card pocket on the first layout...  photos of a trip to the library would be a good thing to capture.  Talent show...hmmmm...So many fun options.

Class times are during the 2nd week in September so sign up soon...........

September 11, 2012 Tuesday evening:  Come start anytime between 5:30 and 7:00.
September 13, 2012 Thursday evening:  Come start anytime between 5:30 and 7:00
September 15, 2012 Saturday morning:  Start time:  10:00

Option 1:  We will be making the two pictures layouts with cards ready to assemble.  Cost including tax and shipping =  $19.50.  The gold antiqued mini medleys really add to the rich quality and you will have a few extras for other projects or for the cards.

Option 2:  We will be making 8 cards.  2 each of 4 designs.  I will have a photo up very soon.... and pricing should be close to $10.  Same time and place.

October projects will be posted early, so check in again soon.  I will be offering a very cute home decor item for the Halloween festivities.  Can't wait to show you!  Plus I am planning on a Christmas card workshop using our beautiful Pear & Partridge paper pack.  LOVE IT!  So mark your calendar for the 2nd week in October too.

August is Here!  Footloose creative classes next week!!!!!!!!  3 things to check out in this post:  

           1.  Footloose Creative Scrapbook Classes,

2.  Card workshop, 

 3.  Cricut Special.

1.  Footloose Creative Scrapbook Class:
Here are the Footloose layouts and cards that go with the layouts....

Cards you can make with the extra paper from the pages.

We will be meeting on August 7th between 5:30 and 10:00 in the evening.  The next class is on Thursday, August 9th  at 12:00 noon.  then on Saturday, August 11th,  we will be meeting at 10:00 in the morning.  If you are interested in signing up, please e-mail me or call as soon as possible.  We have limited number of the wooden shapes available, so let me know now if you would like to participate.  The cost comes to $19.50 with the tax and shipping added in....that includes all the paper and wooden shapes.  There are about 30 + cricut cuts...but I do those and all the cutting for you, so all you have to do is bring your own adhesive and assemble these beauties.  Add your pictures and bring back next time for a fun prize from the product bin.  Sweet!  Loved the layouts the ladies completed with the Pemberley paper!  So fun to see their creativity used in finishing their layouts.


My team and I are working on our new layouts for the new catalog, so stay tuned for September's projects...hopefully to be posted before you get your newsletters!  If you don't do layouts and want to do only cards...that is no problem....

2.  Here is the info on the CARD CLASS:  You will make 8 beautiful cards that include a pack of the wooden sea shapes.  The cost is a little more at $11 because of those cute accessories.  So excited to be offering the cards for you that don't scrapbook.  You can choose any of the times that are mentioned above to come put together your cards.  I still have a table to fill with people.

3.  CRICUT SPECIAL:  So, if you don't have Close to my Heart's Art Philosophy cricut cartridge, you still can get it as part of this deal, or you can get the new Artiste cricut cartridge.  They are both the same great deal: Loaded with images to cut (the equivalent of 3 other cartridges), complete with 3 D-size stamp sets, plus 3 fun chip board cut outs that coordinate with the stamps and cuts you can make.  All this for $99 + 6.78 tax + 7.87 shipping = $113.65 is the cost to you....A great deal as is....but ordering in August and combining orders for group buying power makes the deal even sweeter for you.  (I can combine orders like this any time...there is just a great special that goes with it in August and September.) 

Here is how it works....I will group people buying the cartridges in to groups of 4 and put it together as a party.  We will split the hostess rewards evenly, so that the cost of the cartridge only comes to $99 each (including tax and shipping) thus saving all four of you $13.65.  Then to further make this deal sweet, you get to choose $10 in free product...that could be....  a pack of paper, a B-size stamp set, or 2 stamp pads, etc.  Because you are doing an order over $35 (Aug/Sept. Special)  you have the option to get a Double D-size stamp set for only $5 + tax and shipping.  How sweet is that?  So let me know soon so we can start getting things ordered for you cricut lovers.

CTMH really does have the best cricut cartridges.  You can see what the images look like on each cartridge if you go to cricut.com and go to cricut craftroom.  I would be happy to show you how to use your cricut some time if you haven't gotten things figured out yet.  Here is the Aug. Sept. Special Stamp Set.
