CTMH - Goodness, gracious! Wait until you hear the March special!!!

Close to My Heart just announced the March special,  and if you have EVER thought of becoming a consultant, MARCH IS THE TIME!



New Consultants who sign up in March (March 1, 2012 (9:00 am (MST) – March 31, 2012 (11:59 pm MDT)) will receive a fabulous Cricut® Art Philosophy collection FREE! If your new Team member already has a collection, they can choose to receive $100 in select product credit instead. So, begin asking your hostesses, repeat customers, your "maybe some other time" contacts, family, and friends. The collection, which retails for $99, is actually valued at over $124, adding incredible value to the New Consultant Kit. It's time for everyone to embrace the philosophy of fun—Consultant and Cricut® fun!

During the online enrollment process, the new Consultant will be asked if they would like to add the Cricut® Art Philosophy collection to their New Consultant Kit or, if they already have a collection, if they would prefer $100 in select product credit. They simply indicate their choice during sign-up. Their collection will be shipped with their kit. New Consultants that already have a collection and, thus, choose the select product credit, will have the select product credit added to their account once their enrollment is approved.

For more information, email me, or get ready to join my team on the 1st using this link!

CTMH - sharing a Superhero card!



You know, sometimes there's a paper pack that comes out and you think - now what would I do with that?  That's how SuperHero was for me.  I participate in my 5th upline - Karen Morris' swap with each new idea book, and this is the paper packet that I had.  Some of the papers in it are, well, busier than I usually work with.  Over the next few days, I'll be sharing some of the artwork! 

This card is great for a man or boy in your life that needs some encouragement, or even congratulations on a job well done.  I used the following products:

X7152B Superhero Level 2 paper packet

C1485 Super Powers My Acrylix stamp set

Z1473 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" White Daisy Die-Cut Cards & Envelopes

Z1688 Comic Badge Buttons

Watercolor Pencils

Blending Pen

3-d Foam tape (under the super hero!)

CTMH - Five for Free - Try Studio J TODAY!

The constant campaign for February is a Studio J campaign. It's really a great campaign - 10 layouts for $55! That's cheaper than the members price! A Studio J 5 pack is normally $55. During February, when you buy a 5 pack, you'll get a second 5 pack for FREE!

• If you're a member of Studio J, you'd normally pay $65.00 for 10 layouts (2 pages each). Even with the free member shipping once per month, you'd spend $55.
• If you were to buy 2 Studio J 5 packs, it would normally cost $110.
• If you're not a member of Studio J, layouts cost $13 each, so a total cost of $130.00 plus shipping for 10 layouts would be $148.40!

A Studio J® 5-pack, priced at $55, includes 5 two-page layouts, 5 Memory Protectors®, and free shipping and handling. It’s the perfect way to try out Studio J for the first time, and it makes a great gift! When you order a 5 pack, you will automatically receive codes for (2) 5 packs. You can keep them both, or give one away to a friend!

Have you tried Studio J? There is no cost to try it, only if you decide to buy! There's no software to download and no fee just to try it. Start here to create an account or sign in to your existing account. Then - you can start selecting "papers", adding photos and creating your layout!

The fine print: The promotion runs from February 1, 2012 (9:00 am MST) – February 29, 2012 (11:59 pm MST). Each 5-pack code may only be redeemed once and may not be split across multiple orders. If you order fewer than 5 two-page layouts, remaining layouts are forfeited. If you order more than 5 two-page layouts with each code, shipping and handling remains free of charge for up to 20 layouts; however, additional layouts over 5 are charged at the lowest price the customer is eligible for. Additional layouts over 20 are subject to shipping and handling fees. 5 pack codes do not expire.
