CTMH--- June SOTM Blog hop

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for June 2010!

All artwork on the hop will feature June's SOTM:Wonderful Friend a set of 9 stamps! If you have come here from Carla's Blog you are on the right path!


This month we have over 60 CTMH Consultants sharing their SOTM creations, and other great CTMH artwork. Hopping along is fun and simple to do - just click the link at the end of each blogger's post to move to the next one!


This month I have created a Tri-Shutter Card for my hubby for Father's Day. I used the Felicity paper pack (from January's special) and the June SOTM. I created the argyle focal background by inking my stamp in twilight then rocking it in vineyard berry.

In June, take advantage of a different deal each day only on my website: Click HERE
Click on the Jackpot June link to see each day's deal. Each day will either be a Jackpot day or a Goodie Box day.
Deals will run for 23 hours: from 10:00 am (central) to 9:00 am (central) the following day, while supplies last.

Jackpot Days

5 products will be offered for sale at special discounted prices. On each Jackpot day, Corporate selects 1 of the 5 products to be the Jackpot item for that day, but you don't know which one it is (isn't it exciting!). If you happen to order the Jackpot item, lucky you! We'll reward you with a fabulous Close To My Heart jackpot, which may be one FREE product or a bundle of several FREE products! For those of you who aren't risk-takers, you'll want to purchase all 5 items to guarantee you'll hit the Jackpot!

If you purchase multiple quantities of the Jackpot item, you'll receive multiple products FREE. So, buy as many as you'd like of each item - there's no limit - and you could be a big winner!

The FREE items will be featured on the Jackpot June shopping page, alongside the 5 discounted products. We'll send your FREE items with the products you've ordered - and we'll pay the shipping/handling for your FREE items! Special shipping is offered on the discounted products you purchase: just $0.99 for each item.

So, how do you know if you've hit the Jackpot? Each day we'll announce what the Jackpot item was for the previous day on www.facebook.com/closetomyheart and at www.closetomyheart.com.

* On Jackpot days, only the discounted items may be checked out in one transaction; no limit on discounted items per transaction.

Goodie Box Days

You will be able to purchase a Goodie Box filled with wonderful Close To My Heart products at 50% or more off retail value. The Goodie Box contents will vary by day (we're not revealing specifics but you'll be thrilled!) and will include favorite current and retired stamp sets, paper packets, embellishments, and other great scrapbooking, stamping and cardmaking items.

Corporate has made every effort to differentiate the Goodie Box offerings by date so you can purchase boxes on different dates and receive a wide variety of products. The prices of the boxes will vary but each will be at least 50% off retail value. The higher the box price, the greater your savings from the original retail value. We're also offering discounted shipping ($7.00 to $9.00)

* On Goodie Box days, only one Goodie Box and no other items may be checked out in a single transaction. You can place several orders if you wish, but only one box is permitted per transaction.

What's more fun than discovering a new art technique, using an embellishment in a unique way, or trying an accent you've never used before and loving it? Well, our Jackpot June promotion is perfect for bringing out the fun in your creative projects! It's a great time to pick up some products you love or ones you've never used before at incredible prices and potentially win some for FREE! You can add to your creative side and say, "Whatever deals pop up this Wednesday I'm going to buy and use - even if I've never used them before!" That can get your imagination flowing! Click HERE every day in June and see what tickles your artistic fancy! And remember, the Jackpot June deals are good for just that one day and only while supplies last.

Happy Shopping!!

One Last Plea....

... For your HELP!!!!!

Close to my Heart just announced that they will be giving away an all expense paid Scrapbook Spa Getaway to 8 lucky Consultants. I love scrapbooking and papercrafting just as much as I enjoy being pampered at the spa! How great would it be to be able to do both!!! The catch is that in order to be eligible I have to have a certain amount of sales this month and attend Convention in July. I am already registered for the Convention, now I just need to make sure I get enough sales this month to qualify for the drawing. I am shamelessly asking for help. I would be soooo grateful if you might be willing to help me qualify. Here's what you can do to help:

1. Place an order on my website for regular and discounted products here
2. Place a Studio J order on my website here
3. Or email me with an individual order.

* Don't forget about the Retiring Workshop on the Go kits
* Don't forget about the Discounted items (up to 50% off)

For each order placed, I will dig deep into my stash of goodies and prizes and send you one! So, if you place an order this month, you will be helping me reach my goal and you will get a prize from me :) It's a win-win situation!

Thanks so much for your help and support!

CTMH--- Miracle Layouts

I've finally completed the journaling on my Miracle Layouts and they are ready to share :)

I used Hollyhock ink as my accent color to bring out the pink in my daughter's outfits. You could use any color you choose!

These layouts came together soooooo easily! The most time consuming part was inking and adhering the dimensional elements! I loved using the flip flaps on this one too, so I could incorporate more photos but not have to trim them :)





Remember that this Miracle Kit is only available through May 31 (or while supplies last!) Click HERE to order yours TODAY!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

In honor of Mother's Day, here's a couple layouts to share!


This one is from a couple years ago of my mom and I!


And one of my babies and me!


Happy Mother's Day to all the MOM'S out there!!!!!!

CTMH--- Miracle Kit

THIS kit is still available until the end of May (or while supplies last--- supplies are at less than 50% as of 5/7)
