Happy 2015

Happy New Year everyone!  2015 - the sound of it will take some getting used to, but with the arrival of a new year, there is always the excitement of a fresh start that is loaded with potential.  I have not made any resolutions this year - and very well may not because my track record for keeping them is quite dismal.  But there is still an undeniable energy that comes with the clean-slate of each new year! 

Close to My Heart has several fun ways to ring in the new year.

First, there is a great stamp of the month, This Moment, that is a set of 12 stamps.  While it's theme is undeniably "love", it includes some neutral stamps, like "Hello" and "Remember this Moment."  I will be posting a project or two in the future, but  it you'd enjoy seeing some great ideas that fellow consultants made using this stamp set, you can check out the CTMH Blog Hop by clicking HERE.  Here are a couple of ideas that were made by corporate artists that will give you an idea of what can be done with this stamp set...

Next, we will look at how Close to My Heart is celebrating National Papercrafting Month.  As you reflect on the things that make you who you are and on what you want to accomplish in the coming months, you can use Year >> Noted paper kit to record your experiences and goals! Close to My Heart is offering two options for this kit, the paper kit only and the paper kit with the mini kraft book.  During the month of January, with a qualifying purchase of $50, you are eligible to purchase the exclusive Year >> Noted paper kit (which has a retail value of over $24 USD / $27 CAD) for only $5—that’s over 80% off retail! Or, for an additional $5, you can order the Year >> Noted paper kit with an accompanying My Creations™ kraft mini book. 

The paper kit for both options includes a C-size stamp set, stickers, cardstocks, and B&T Duos™ papers, all specially designed to coordinate with the My Creations™ kraft mini book so you can have a yearlong scrapbooking experience. This means you will receive over $34 USD / $37 CAD worth of product for only $10 if you purchase the kit with the accompanying mini book! But the fun doesn’t end there—included on the sticker sheet, you will find a large golden seal. Once the year is done and all the pages are filled, seal up your book and create a mini time capsule that you can open years from now. Remember, this deal is only valid January 1, 2015–January 31, 2015, so make sure to get your own Year >> Noted paper kit today for the perfect start to a crafty year!

Finally, during the month of January, all Gatherings that reach $350 or higher will be eligible to receive up to 50% more Hostess Rewards, or $90 in select free products, instead of the usual $60.  This offer is only available during January and is the ideal pairing for your National Papercrafting Month Gatherings, so join in the celebration and watch your earnings grow!  If anyone has considered hosting a Gathering, this would be a great month to consider making it happen - just let me know and we can talk about options.

I hope 2015 will be a great year for everyone and thanks for stopping by!
