Faux 12X12 Leather Albums Retiring

Faux 12X12 Leather Albums Retiring

I wanted to let you know that our  12x12 Faux Leather Albums will be retiring at the end of our current catalog, July 2014, and are now available only while supplies last!  Close To My Heart will be introducing new albums that will be available in Post Bound and D-Ring with a coated canvas finish.  The new albums will not be in Faux Leather or Expandable. The black album is already sold out. All the accessories, like extender posts and spines will also be retired. So if you like these albums - act now! We will replace them with another product, but you will not be able to get the accessories anymore!

I want to make sure that you have the opportunity to stock up on these items.  They are only available while supplies last so you may want to stock up now on your favorite albums and accessories .

Please contact me now to get your supplies now at scrappingbee.ctmh.com or scrappingbee42@gmail.com.

Have fun!

Wait, maybe I'll share one now to start things off. This little layout is of Daci (Karen's

oldest granddaughter, who is now 5)  when she was just over a year old.  Those cheeks!

Here is a great Disney layout - it is so easy to create!






*Offer valid March 1–31, 2014. Studio J layouts ship in a protected box that can hold from 4 to 50 two-page layouts.

2.  March Stamp of the Month (Happy Place):  This "happy" little set comes complete with 3 Russian Nesting Dolls (in graduating sizes), a fun folksy looking heart, and 3 sentiment stamps. It's valued at $17.95 but is yours in March for $5 with a $50 qualifying order.  Get yours on my website. You'll be asked if you want to add it to your order before you check out.

 Karen created this 5" x 5" card you see at the top of this post (inspired by Chris Lothian, an amazingly talented Australian CTMH Consultant) using the products you'll see at the bottom of this post.  How about that? Top to bottom!   Here are a detail shot of the card as well as a photo of the stamp set.  I had fun doing a bit of paper piecing with this stamp set.

Technique Tip:  See how she has a patterned dress and patterned scarf?  To get this look, stamp your doll on your cardstock, then stamp her again on 2 more patterned pieces of paper, cut out the pieces you want from each and adhere them to the main image. Voila...patterned clothing!

March Stamp of the Month: Carrier Sheet Actual Size is 6" x 6"
