Spotlight on the Holiday Expressions Catalog

Welcome to the Close to My Heart 
Holiday Expressions Blog Hop

This hop I am following {Sheila Bennett's Blog.}   We have 30 Close to My Heart Consultants participating in our Close to My Heart Holiday Expressions Blog Hop.   If you lose your place while traveling through our blog hop, the complete list of participants can be found here.    Thank you for hopping through our Blog Hop.

Have you seen our Holiday Expressions Catalog?  It is chock full of Halloween and Christmas paper, stamp sets, and embellishments.  It is 37 pages of Holiday goodness.  We are showcasing some of the cute things you can make using some products found in this catalog.

Do you like to hand out goodies during the Halloween season?  I have made an adorable little bag that you can put candy, cookies, or some other kind of goody in to give to your friends or co-workers.  Maybe you have a teacher you would like to remember?  How fun this would be to give to that favorite teacher.

I have used our Designer Creations Honey Paper Bags and dressed it up using three of our Cricut cartridges, Artbooking, Artfully Sent, and Artistry.  Did you see how I dressed up the clothespin that I purchased at Walmart?  It has Black Shimmer Trim on it.  Super easy and a special touch.  You could even glue a magnet onto the back side of the clothespin and after the goodies are gone, the clothespin could be used as an important paper holder or as a refrigerator magnet.

I used the stamp set, Tasty Terrors to stamp the sentiment and the stars.  The stars were colored with our Shin Han Marker.  Do you have a Cricut Explore?  If you do, I would like to share my Design Space file with this link.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

It's All About that Bag, About that Bag, About that Bag ..........

October Promotion 

See the beautiful bag in the above photograph?  That bag was our 2015 Convention bag.  It is exclusive.  Only Consultants who attend Convention get this bag.  Consultants drool over this bag.  Really!  This bag is one of the reasons I spend oodles of money to attend Convention each year.  It is big enough to hold tons of scrapbooking supplies and 12 x 12 layouts.  It has pockets inside and outside.  And it has a long strap that you can wear as a shoulder bag or a cross-body bag.  This bag is cool and you need one.

How much does it cost, you ask?  It is free as long as you are not currently a CTMH Consultant.  CTMH Consultants cannot get this bag.  I have downline who are miserable about this right now.  But you can get it for free.

All you have to do is join Close to My Heart during the month of October.  The bag is while supplies last, so decide quickly!  

When you join Close to My Heart, you will receive this beautiful box of goodies.

So how do you get this big box of product?  If you are local to Memphis, I have one at my house.  You can pick it up with just a phone call.  Or you can sign up online at melindaeveritt.ctmh.com and have the box sent directly to you.

The retail value of the product in the kit is $445.  The cost for starting your own Close to My Heart Business is $129 (plus shipping and handling and tax). The list of products in the box can be found at melindaeveritt.ctmh.com.

Welcome to the October SOTM Blog Hop - Twinkle

Welcome to the October Stamp of the Month 
Blog Hop! 

                                                  

This month I am following {Melissa Robinson's Blog.}   We have approximately 45 Close to My Heart Consultants participating in this month’s Stamp of the Month Blog Hop.   If you lose your place while traveling through our blog hop, the complete list of participants can be found here.      

The October Stamp of the Month is entitled Twinkle (S1510) (Set of 15).   Here is a picture of this stamp set:

The Close to My Heart October Stamp of the Month is always a Christmas stamp and I am looking forward to Christmas, so I decided to make a layout to use with my Christmas pictures we will take this year.

I have used our Christmas paper called White Pines.  This layout only took two pieces of patterned paper in addition to the cardstock used.  That leaves you with 4 pieces of patterned paper and a whole lot of cardstock in a My Reflections White Pine paper pack.

I loved the little colored lights and wanted to string them across the top of my layout.  The paper under the string of lights is the decorative zip strip that comes on the top of our patterned paper.  I added the White Pines Complements, using just a few, so I have more left to use on other projects.

Here is my layout.

The Twinkle Stamp of the Month Stamp Set can be purchased for $17.95 or if you purchase $50 in CTMH products, you can add this stamp set to your order for an additional $5.  This stamp set is only available between October 1 – October 31, 2015. 

Thank you for visiting my blog.  I would love for you to show me a little love by leaving me a comment and then please go to our next artist, {Terrie Shortsleeve's Blog} and see what she has made with this adorable stamp set.

You can purchase this stamp set as well as any of the supplies listed below on my website.
