Thanks for stopping by for a visit! Let me give you a quick tour of what you can find here on my website...

STAMPAGANZA SALE

November 3 - 30, 2009 you can take advantage of our AWESOME Stampaganza sale! This is only the 3rd time Close To My Heart has had this special - Buy 2 stamp sets, get 1 stamp set FREE!!! It's an incredible sale. You can get more than 1 stamp set free. The more you buy, the more you save. If, for example, you order 12 stamp sets, the 4 lowest priced stamp sets on your order are free. Go to my home page and click on the picture of the Stampaganza sale for all the details. It's been almost a year and a half since the last Stampaganza so it may be awhile before this sale rolls around again. GREAT time to stock up on the stamp sets on your wish list or to buy gifts for the stampers on your Christmas list!

STAMP OF THE MONTH

On the home page you'll find details about our Stamp of the Month set. November's SOM set is Around the Block. Adorable set! All of our Stamp of the Month sets are $22.95 but you can also get it at a discount or even for FREE!!! (Don't you love getting things for free?)

HOSTESS REWARDS

Speaking of getting things for free, did you know that you can get more than just the Stamp of the Month set for free? Just by hosting a home gathering or a catalog party, you can earn free product as the Hostess. Check out our current Idea Book/Catalog for details on Hostess Rewards and Hostess Rewards Plus!

CTMH TV

Check out the Art & Soul episodes under the CTMH TV tab to the left of your screen. New episodes are added every month. Be sure to stay tuned to the end of each episode for information on a special discount on the products to make the feature project on that episode. You can also go back and watch older episodes of Art & Soul. Each episode is packed with great projects, techniques, and tips!

WORKSHOPS ON THE GO

Check out the WOTG tab to view scrapbook layouts and card projects using our newest papers! You can also host a workshop in your home - ask me for details.

OPERATION SMILE

Close To My Heart invites you to join with us in supporting Operation Smile, a non-profit organization whose medical volunteers around the globe correct facial deformities for thousands of children. There are several ways you can help in this worthy, life-changing endeavor:

* Round up your order total to the nearest dollar and donate the difference.

* Purchase My Acrylic stamp sets. Close To My Heart donates a portion of the proceeds from every stamp set sold.

* Donate your loose change, or make a contribution of any size.

For more information about Operation Smile, please visit their website at www.operationsmile.org.

5^th ANNIVERSARY

February 2009 was my 5^th anniversary as a Close To My Heart Independent Consultant! Close To My Heart offers great incentives to its Independent Consultants - not only do we earn commission (22% base commission plus override commission based on monthly sales), but we also earn points towards incentive trips. It's a FUN job:)

Close To My Heart offers lots of great training for new Consultants. Our new Consultant newsletter, Start with Heart, is emailed each week for six weeks and will tell you what to focus on that week. We have a comprehensive online Training Academy that offers business and art classes for Consultants of all abilities. We also have a generous quick-start program called Straight To The Top which is easy to accomplish and can help you get another $150 in free product!

Call me if you have questions about hosting a party, becoming an Independent Consultant, or placing an order. I'm here to make your scrapbooking, stamping, cardmaking and papercrafting faster, simpler, and easier:)
