Join Me For A Pajama Party!

Close To My Heart has joined up with Big Picture Classes to bring you all the latest and greatest.  Join me and thousands of others on July 31st, 7:00 pm MST, for a sneak peek at the latest Close To My Heart Cricut Cartridge - Artbooking.  You will see how to put together a complete 12 x 12 layout with the push of just 1 button.  This cartridge is available to you on August 1.  I am offering a pre-order special of $80 for the bundle if you place the order (through me) between now and August 1.  That is a $130 value for only $80.  And if you like free product, why don't you add another $51 to meet the $150 minimum for another $25 in FREE product.  Or go in with a friend on your order to share on shipping and earn that FREE product.  Email me  at ctmhbevg@hotmail.com to place your order. 




The FREE webcast will air Wednesday, July 31 at 7:00 pm (MDT). During the presentation, you’ll learn to make several projects from a variety of sponsors, including Close To My Heart’s Artbooking layout, as our very own Kristine Widtfeldt walks you through the steps—and sneaks the Artbooking collection!
The Pajama Party class will be available for FREE at BigPictureClasses.com on July 31, and will be archived after the event for future viewing. If you would like to interact on the message board, participate in live chat, post to the gallery, download handouts, or enter any contests, you will need to log in to the Pajama Party “classroom” by creating a free account on the Big Picture Classes website. If you have already created an account or if you registered for the first Pajama Party in May, you are all set! You will not need to create another account or register again.

We hope you and your customers enjoy this sneak peek of the new Artbooking collection as Kristine Widtfeldt, Stacy Julian, and the rest of the Big Picture Classes crew make the featured project and share their tips and tricks for using the collection. We know your customers will be chomping at the bit to make the Artbooking layout, so take this opportunity to have them sit back, relax, and drool over the items, then be ready to spring into action August 1 when they can buy the collection with the rest of the supplies. Then they can tune in to the archived event for step-by-step details on how to make the project. To make the project, you and your customers will want to have the following items—or similar products—on hand:

Close To My Heart November Blog Hop

Welcome to our November Blog Hop.  If you arrived here from Nicole's blog, then you are on the right path.  If you are just starting here, simply follow the trail until you have visited all of the blogs in the hop.  You will know you reached the end when you wind up back here.

This month we are showcasing the second layout from the new how-to pattern book, Make It From The Heart.  With the new Idea Book just a few months away, I decided to use up some of my stash.  I chose to use Dotty For You.  I think it looks just great for this Father's Day layout I created.  I used the Artiste cartridge (Z1790) and the Cocktail Alphabet stampset (E1015) long with Lagoon ink (Z2195).  I plan to print my pictures that I'll be using in black and white.  I think the colors in the Dotty For You paper pack really lend themselves to black and white photos.


To purchase the products used in this design, contact me or go directly to my website and place your order.

Welcome to our October Blog Hop.  If you arrived here from Nicole's blog, then you are on the right path.  If you are just starting here, simply follow the trail until you have visited all of the blogs in the hop.  You will know you reached the end when you wind up back here. 

This month we are showcasing the first layout from the new how-to pattern book, Make It From The Heart.  I chose to use the Scholastic paper pack for my "Back To School Layout".  Isn't it just perfect for this?

       Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad (Chocolate) Z2111
       Milepost Shapes Z1464
       Canvas Alphabet Z1777
       Hemp (Natural) Z280

Don't forget about the September Stamp Of The Month.  With a minimum purchase of $50, you can purchase the stamp set for $5.  The retail price of this stamp set is $17.59 so that is a $12.59 savings.  This month's stamp set is Very Merry Christmas.  This is a set of 11 stamps.  What a great value.
