September Stamp of the Month

A hint of fall is in the air. It is time to start getting out the fall decorations. Don't you just love this time of year? The leaves start to turn glorious colors. Pumpkins are ready to harvest. Corn stalks are turning brown (OK, in the Midwest that happened way too early this year due to the draught).

What better time to make some cute fall cards. The September Stamp of the Month is the perfect stamp set to make your fall cards or scrap those wonderful fall pictures. The scarecrow image works perfectly with our new alcohol based markers.

The CTMH Stamp of the Month is available for $17.95 (full price) or for just $5.00 with any $50.00 purchase! Here is a link to a blog hop showing some really cute projects with this stamp set. After you finish your blog hop, head to my online store and purchase your stamp set today!

La Belle Vie

With LOVE Keepsake Box

Okay... I admit it. When I saw La Belle Vie in the new idea book. I wasn't thrilled. I am not a fan of pink. Now you see, my name is Mary Kay. I have had enough jokes about driving my pink Cadillac. No, I don't sell Mary Kay cosmetics.

BUT... I thought I would buy just a few sheets of La Belle Vie just to see if I could like it. OH MY!!! How pretty is this little box? I scraplifted this from a dear friend - Penny Kentosh. Thanks, Penny!

The box is 6 3/8" by 2 1/8" by 4 3/8" and is made of sturdy chipboard with a magnetic closure.

New Friends

WELCOME! I hope that some of my new friends are coming to my blog for the first time. I just got back from the Chicago Expo which was held in St. Charles, Illinois. What a great show with lots of scrapbookers and paper crafters looking for new ideas and great products. I worked the Close to My Heart booth with three other CTMH consultants. I taught one of the make and takes. We made the cute Sweet Treat cards. It was great to meet lots of new friends who love paper crafting.

The new idea book for Close to My Heart has so many wonderful products in it. There are just so many that it will take me several posts to tell you about them all.

First, I have to tell you that I am the owner of several paper cutters. To be honest, I own way too many. I have a great craft room but I enjoy bringing my projects out by the TV so my hubby and I can watch a movie or show together while I craft. The problem is that the paper cutters have a small platform which sometimes makes it difficult to measure the size paper I need on my small lap desk. Well, the new idea book has a new cutter. I tried it and I love it. The platform is nice and wide and I can measure my paper easily on this new cutter. It is actually the widest base on the market. There is also a wire that show exactly where the paper will be cut. This is very helpful. It is made by Fiskars so you know it is of high quality.

This item is Z1783 and sells for $34.95. Do I have deal for you? Buy it from my webstore - www.maryk.ctmh.com and you are pennies away from the $35 minimum for our double stamp special. Add any small item (or lots more if you like) and you will get the double stamp set for just $5. You’ll love this double set—two D-size sets in one envelope—which includes nearly 50 trendy images that makes it easy to capture the everyday moments in your life. The double set has a retail value of $35.90, which drastically increases the value of your qualifying purchase! Have twice the fun stamping during National Stamping Month with our new, exclusive It’s Your Day double stamp set!

Don't feel like spending that much money on a cutter? Why not host a gathering and get items for free. Just give me a call and we can set up a gathering for you today.
