National Scrapbooking Month - Tickled Pink

Here's some great news!

The Tickled Pink scrapbooking kit, created exclusively to celebrate National Scrapbooking Month, is available TODAY to purchase at retail or earn FREE with a qualifying purchase. In addition, hostesses who have qualifying Home Gathering sales totals will receive the Tickled Pink kit for FREE, and new Consultants who enroll in May will receive a FREE Tickled Pink kit as part of their New Consultant Kit.

Artwork Contests on Special Website

And it gets even better! As another fun way to celebrate this special month, CTMH has created a website, http://www.scrapbookandshare.com/, that you can visit to share your artwork and win Close To My Heart products. To participate in the Scrapbook and Share contest, simply send a JPEG image of a two-page layout that highlights you in some way to scrapbookandshare@closetomyheart.com. Along with your submission, you'll want to share why the layout highlights you. At the end of May, finalists will be selected from all of the entries, and you and your customers will be able to vote for your favorites. The winners in each category will receive $150 US retail in Close To My Heart products.

Look for the button on the right side of my blog with the big flower to go directly to Scrapbook and Share!

Happy Scrappin'

New CTMH TV episode

Art & Soul: NEW! Running in Circles!
Check out the latest tutorial show and you will qualify for the discount at the end of it. The Friendship Word puzzle set is at a discount.

Every CTMH TV episode has a discounted package at the end of it.... Although I don't have a MyCTMH web site I will still give you the discount.

But just a note.... the Coluzzle has just been discontinued by it's manufactures (Provo Craft I believe) and so it is not worth purchasing. No blades are available through CTMH and I have phoned several scrapbooking locations, all of which also have none. :( This makes me sad as I just purchased some wonderful templates. I am creatively trying to figure out ways to still use them. Maybe there is another manufacture who makes a similar knife??? let me know if you know! I would love to still be able to use mine. I thought I could always trace it with a mechanical pencil and cut it out. I know slightly defeating the purpose for the circles, but it would work for the file-folder template.... just a thought.

WOTG Club

Workshops On The Go Club

Starting Date: May 22

Pre-Order Due by: April 30

free shipping on your entire pre-order if in by April 30

Here it is. Everyone's been asking about it, and it is about to start! The WOTG Club.

Emporium WOTG

Do you know about WOTG? They are workshops that are completely planned by CTMH to utilize your paper and supplies without waste! Each new paper pack since the Fall/Winter Idea Book '08 has a WOTG that goes with it. The focus is on a never before published 2 page layout by Jeannette Lynton. It is designed to take no longer than 2 hours to complete! There is still enough paper left from your level 2 paper pack to create 2 more layouts (4 more pages) and 3 more cards! These are pictured in the Workshop Guide that you will receive. That is a total of 6 pages and 3 cards! plus I always have paper left over for other projects too. Each night we will focus on completing the featured layout, but will also "power" cut and paste the additional 2 layouts! Talk about a feel-good night, to get so much done.

Stardust WOTG

We will vote as a group each time we meet on what WOTG we will do. A list will always be provided with cost as to the minimum supplies needed. It will range from between $25-30. There is also an upgraded list too which include the stamp set and other goodies that make your additional layouts shine. These are coordinated by CTMH so that everything coordinates perfectly.

That's Amore WOTG

As a club, a commitment will be required. We will meet once a month so each club member will get a chance to be a Hostess. That means FREE stuff for you!! Who doesn't love free stuff?? The minimum WOTG supplies will be required. I am looking for at least 7 ladies, that would make the minimum amount required $27; however, if the WOTG supply requirement is $30 that will be the cost that month. You are always free to purchase extras or choose from the upgraded lists of supplies. 7 ladies also means that we would meet for 7 months. We are free to decide as a group on which months we may need to take a break for, such as July or December for holidays.

Get your pre-order in by April 30 (the Idea Book Release Party) and receive free shipping on your entire order.

I can't wait to see you at the first WOTG Club!!

May Stamp Of The Month

It is time for the new Idea Book to emerge! Along with new SOTMs. YIPEE!!!!

As I was snooping through the Consultant Bulletin Board I found the most wonderful card using the May SOTM. It was posted by Samantha Day. This SOTM features 8 beautiful lady silhouettes plus more....

May: Be Yourself
Beauty and individuality come in all shapes and sizes—take your pick from these
strong, confident words and striking silhouettes.
Available May 1–31, 2009 only.

I wasn't able to retrieve an image of the entire SOTM, only more artwork, I will keep looking for it and post it when I can find it for you :)
