......And we're back!

Back from Dallas, that is!  What an awesome expierience my first convention was!  Close to My Heart is an amazing company (I already knew that), and they really proved it by putting on a fabulous convention! 

The new catalog starts August 1st, and it is AMAZING!  Contact me to see how to get your very own!

We also have a new Consultant Kit with a bonus if you join my team during August.  This fabulous bag comes with your kit, and we now have 2 options for the kit.  This is the same bag given to us at convention, and I can tell you, it is a really nice bag!



The Essentials Kit $49



The Master Kit - includes everything from the Essentials, plus what's pictured below for $99


If you have ever considered taking the plunge to become a CTMH consultant, now's a great time to do it!  I would love to have you on my team.

More exciting news!!!!!!!  A new Cricut Cartridge!  It's called Artiste, and if you thought our first one was good, wait until you see this one.  It is $99, and includes everything pictured below.  It has over 700 images on it, including cupcake holders, new boxes, bags, and flowers.  I cannot wait to get my hands on this bad boy!  Contact me today to pre-order yours, and you will get a special gift from me!



Here's one of the cards I made to swap with some of my CTMH sistersat convention:

I used the A Bow Wow stamp, and Stella paper.  He's colored with chocolate ink and the Blending pen.  Sorry it's not a better quality picture.  This is all a learning process for my non-techie self :)  i am just happy I figured out how to post it!  I know, I am a dork!

I'll be posting more pictures as soon as I pick up the CD my friend and fellow consultant April made for us!  She was the photographer in our little group, and was sweet enough to make us all a copy.  I am picking it up this afternoon, and I can't wait to see them!

Check back later for updates.......

Perfect Pairs and lots of info for July!

Close to My Heart's got an awesome special for July!  If you place an online order through my website for $75 or more, you can get one of these great retired paper packs with a matching embellishment set for free!!!! Check my website for details.  You must order through my website to get this offer!

Like peanut butter and jelly, like lemonade and barbecues, like glitter and glue—some things are just made to go together. That’s the heart of July’s Perfect Pairs campaign: to celebrate how perfectly Close To My Heart products go together, because having papers, stamps, and accessories that were designed to work together makes embellishing your projects that much easier.

Throughout the month of July, we’ll have several different product pairings consisting of a favorite My Reflections^® paper pack with a corresponding Complement or accessory kit that you’ll be able to get for free! Each pair will be available for only a limited time, and only while supplies last, so when you see one that you want, act quickly! All you need to do is place an order of $75 or more in full-priced retail products on my shopping website, and you’ll be able to receive that day’s “perfect pair” for free!

You’ll love how easily these product pairs work together, making your crafting more fun and rewarding than ever! Treat yourself to some perfectly-paired products by participating in this month’s promotion.


Also, check out the Stamp of the Month for July:  Live Out Loud. I can see so many possibilites with this set, and I can't wait to use it!

This great stamp is just $5 with a $50 purchase.  Contact me today to get yours!!

You should also know that our convention is in the middle of July, and we will get a preivew of the new products that will be in the Fall catalog!  Since it's in Dallas, I will be making the trip for a few days of craftin' fun!  I can't wait.....it's going to be so much fun, and I hope I will learn a lot of new things to teach all of you!  With the new catalog, that means some things will be going away.....the following paper packs will not be available after July 31st, so if you want 'em, you better get 'em now!! 

They are:  Lucy, Footloose, Superhero and Cruisin'.

New Month....New Specials!

Well, it's definitely summer!  Close to My Heart has some HOT specials this month!!!  Beginning June 1, it's Stampaganza time!  What is this, you ask?  Well, let me tell you!  How does buy two, get one free sound?  I am a sucker for stamps, so this is music to my ears!!!  I distinctly remember saying, "I am not interested in stamping, so don't even show me how", and now, I am a stampin' fool!  Who knew how much fun it would be? 



Also, our Stamp of the Month for June is so tweet!  It's called "Life is Tweet".  Get it for just $5 when you spend $50, or get just the set for $17.95.





I am always happy to help you create!  Contact me today!

Happy Scrappin'........Carol

What?????? TWO posts in ONE day......crazy!

I know, I know......maybe a monster's been created!  Really though, I just want to let you know - if you sign up and host a gathering or workshop during the month of May, you will receive a B-sized stamp set for free!  Contact me to set it up.........I'm waiting...........

Let's try this again......

Ok, so I have figured out that I am not computer literate!!!  I am trying to figure out this blog stuff - slowly but surely.  I hope to post some artwork here soon.  I recently taught a class to some fellow consultants, and they seemed to like it, so I am thinking of offering it as a class for customers!  I'll have more info on that as soon as I can put the pictures up. 

In the meantime, check out our awesome special for the month of May - National Scrapbooking Month.  This paper pack is so versatile and is just so stinkin' cute! 



You can get a better view by checking out my website http://carolwelch.ctmh.com

We also have a really cute stamp set for the month of May, called Friendship Bouquet.  I used it for the class I mentioned above.  As soon as I saw this set, I knew I had to have it!



Cute, right?

Please contact me if you are interested in either of these wonderful products, or if you would like to schedule a class/workshop/scrap night/ whatever!  I would love to help you preserve your memories.

I promise, I WILL figure this blog thing out - I mean, how hard can it be?

Thanks for being patient!

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog!  I am not sure exactly what I am doing, or what I will be posting, but here I am!  I will post artwork and lots of Close to My Heart stuff on here.  If you have any suggestions or comments, please share.......this is all new to me!
