Seaside

Here is a look at one of my favorite papers from the new idea book. Seaside is so pretty and it features an ocean theme which makes it one of my all time favorite papers. The fun all starts on page 122. This paper packet features one of our new colors - Glacier.

 

The compliment stickers make your project easy to complete and add the Seaside Assortment of these adorable metal shapes to pop your pages.



 



 

The Treasured Friendship stamp is a perfect combination with this paper. Stamp the images in Archival Black and then color them in with our new markers.

 

Want to try it all? Why not purchase the Workshop on the Go? You get an exclusive stamp set with this kit which is not available for purchase outside of the kit. You save  $11.34 when you purchase the WOTG. You will get instructions on how to complete your layout with the products included in your kit. It is like a workshop in a box.

 

AND... my favorite way to use the paper - hang it on the wall. You can put your favorite Seaside pictures in our new Shadow Box Frame. Come to my house and see how I decorated my new frame. I can change it out as the seasons change.

 

What a great new addition to our home décor line of products. 

 

Check it out on page 163. It comes in Black or Colonial White.

Open House

Check back often to see all the fun things I will be sharing at my open house on Thursday, August 7th from 5:30 to 7 pm. Here are some cards you can make. Make one or several for just 50 cents each. These cute little 3 by 3 cards are just perfect for gift enclosures or just a little note.

This paper is called Snowhaven pg 75. The cute black stars are from the Scaredy Cat Assortment - pg 39. The stamp is from You mean the world to me - 4 great stamps in the set pg 161.

 

These cards feature our Minis. The first one is Spring Banner and it pairs nicely with Timely Tidings. The best part about the acrylic stamps is your ability to see where you are stamping. You stamp the first image - the flowers and banner and then you pick one of the sayings and stamp it in the banner. These stamps are on page 138. They are a great way to get started. The cost is just $2.95 each.

 

Remember - check back soon for more fun things to come.

National Scrapbooking Month Special

Better yet, also purchase the stamp of the month for $5 also and you have a super deal.
Just go to my webstore to get started.

 

 

Picture My Life

There are so many ways to scrapbook. Anyway you do it, you are preserving memories. The main reason that most people don't scrapbook is that it is so time consuming. Anything of value takes time. Close to My Heart has come up with a new way to scrapbook. It is called Picture My Life.

You can learn more about it in this video - just click HERE to learn more about it.

If you like what you see and want to give it a try, just go to my webstore - maryk.ctmh.com and you can place an order for one of the 8 beautiful new kits.

Not sure... well, I am running a special for March. Just place a minimum order of $24.95 from my online gathering and you will be entered to win the Balloon Ride kit for just half price. If you are the lucky winner, I will send you the Balloon Ride Scrapbooking Program for just $12.50. This beautiful kit contains 44 - 4 by 6 cards, 78 - 3 by 4 cards, 1 - 12 by 12 Design Cover sheet and 10 - 12 by 12 Memory Protector sheets. Check out this great new system on page 67 of the new idea book. Just click HERE.

Think about it! If you are the lucky winner, you could purchase a kit for $24.95 and then get the Balloon Ride kit and have 20 beautiful layout pages done in no time.

Your minimum order of $24.95 doesn't have to be a Picture My Life kit. I suggest that you try the Balloon Ride Workshop on the go kit. This would work back beautifully with the Picture My Life kit. The cost for this kit is $29.95 and you get all the supplies and complete step by step directions to create a beautiful layout. It includes a super stamp set in addition to all the other supplies.

Your order can be anything you like but must be at least $24.95 before tax and shipping to qualify for my special. Please note that only orders placed on my website under the March Special are eligible for this promotion. Note: you must place your order no later than Saturday, March 8th. The winner will be announced on this website on March 10th.

Good luck and happy shopping!

Studio J Special Coming Soon

Have you ever wanted to try Studio J? Well now is the time. If you have wondered about digital scrapbooking, let me tell you that I love it! I am a busy gal and the ease of Studio J fits my lifestyle. I sit down at my computer and create beautiful layouts in no time. Close to My Heart then processes them and sends them to me. And.... the best part is that they send me the JPEG files to download so that I can reprint the pages if I want to. I download the files and keep them on a flash drive. It would be heartbreaking to lose treasured photo pages. If you own the JPEG files, you can reprint them at any time.

Here is the deal for March - After creating layouts in Studio J™ online design software, you can purchase your layouts, including the new Photo Express Collection templates, for the special, discounted price of $5 (normally $6.95). That is for a two page layout so each page costs you just $2.50. Studio J layouts are processed, not printed, using a silver-halide process considered the highest standard in the photo developing industry. Unlike printed papers or images you might print from a home photo printer, the silver-halide process yields “100-year+ quality” that has long been tested and used by the top photo labs in the world. We use the same papers and equipment used by leading labs to produce long-lasting photo prints, so you know your layout will be reproduced with high fidelity and will last throughout the years. As always, JPEG files are available free with your print purchase and are available as a stand-alone item at regular price during this promotion.

There is no limit to the number of layouts you can purchase for $5. There is tax and shipping added to that cost. Shipping/handling rates for Studio J™ layouts are a flat rate of up to 50 layouts in a box for $5.95. There is a minimum order quantity of 4 layouts and a maximum of 50 in a single order on Studio J™—and all layouts in your order are discounted!

Here is the best part! You can log on now and try Studio J. Work away with all of those stored up photos that you have been meaning to scrap. Try all the features you want and save them. There is no cost to "play" on the site. Then, on March 1, I will have a link on my webstore site - maryk.ctmh.com and you can add your order on my gathering order. You have to wait until March 1 to get the special pricing.

Just click on the tab marked Studio J Art on this website to see some of my layouts done in Studio J. Then when you are ready to try it, just click on the tab marked Studio J and you will be redirected to the Studio J website and you are ready to try your hand at digital scrapbooking.
