Greetings!

The kids are back in school and I am ready to scrapbook and stamp are you? Close to my Heart is ready to help you with your summer pictures and projects for the fall! Here is what you can get from Close to my Heart starting tomorrow:

From Me to You
September is National Stamping Month, and to celebrate we're offering an all-inclusive From Me to You card kit featuring everything to make 16 bright and beautiful cards, including a brand new My Acrylix® stamp set and coordinating accessories.

There are three ways to get this specially designed card kit. From September 4-30, 2007:

When a customer spends $75 they will receive a From Me to You card kit $15
When a customer spends $125 they will receive a From Me to You card kit for FREE
And a customer can choose to purchase the card kit at the full retail price of $34.95

For New Consultants: Any new Consultant who joins Close To My Heart during the month of September will receive a FREE From Me to You card kit. So, for their sign up fee of only $150 they will receive their New Consultant Kit worth approximately $400, plus the card kit with a retail value of $34.95-it's a fabulous deal and a great time to join!

September 8th is National Stamping Day - I will celebrate that in Walton at the Walton Days. Look below for more details! In September you want to check at my website every single day for stamping tips! They will be different every day and the first 15,000 customers will get a FREE stamp set!

Plus - Close to my Heart will give away one giftbasket worth $1000 at the end of the month from all the surveys received.
Plus - each and every day they draw one entry from the surveys and give away one of those card kits. So - come to my website and do that survey!
New Fall Idea Book
I have the brand new books in my hot little hands. All my club members are getting their books already. If you would like to get your own copy you can either get your own copy by placing an order and I will send your free copy, join a club or be a hostess. Or just click on here  - the book is $5.00, which includes the shipping. I will post the image as soon as I have it.

Fall Idea Book $5.00
We have added lots of embellishments, great "toys" and more kits for you! You will absolutely love the new products in this book!

Previous idea books are available for $3.00 each which includes shipping, just email me and let me know which ones you would like and I can invoice you with paypal.


September Color Club
Summer colors

The color for this month is Cocoa.  You want to remember that you can always add the Stamp of the Month at a reduced rate, especially when you add the supersized featured to the color club! Many of you already do that every month!

The colors over the next months will be:
May: Twilight
June: White Daisy
July: Crystal Blue
August: Orchid Bouquet with Floral Tapestry Combo pack papers
September:: Cocoa with Simple Pleasures Combo Pack papers
Here are the options again:
1. 6 sheets of cardstock, 12 sheets of b&t paper (combo pack), 1 inkpad $14.50
2. 6 sheets of cardstock, 12 sheets of b&t paper (combo pack), 1 innkpad, 1 maker $18.00
3. Supersize and get bigger brads (approx. 30), 1 ribbon from ribbon rounds, 1 ribbon from designer ribbon rounds, eyelets when available and items from My Acrylics, when available, if not I will add other embellishments, such as paper flowers, buttons, etc. - be surprised! Add $7.50

There is no long term commitment, however, if you join the club I ask that all payments are made by the 15th of that given month. That ensures that I can make my orders in a timely manner. As a member you can always add additional items to your order which will give you the option of additional savings for the Stamp of the Month. All club members will receive a free ideabook with their first order! Active club members will receive each new seasonal idea book as they are issued for free! As long as you have received at least one color club shipment during the quarter.

If you need the club shipped to you contact me for more information.

Can you believe that with the next new idea book we are already getting ready to retire some of  our products? We will not retire the items until the end of this year, but it means that some of the items may run out of stock! For a complete list of the retired items, check out my Training and Events of my website.  I would post a list right here of the items that are already not available, but it is too long already to add here, so I will have to start a new item in that same section. Please check for that list to change on a regular basis as well as the items go out of stock as people place their orders. That means, if you have a favoriate item on that retired list - order it now and don't delay, because there is no guarantee how long it will be available. You might as well get a free card kit out of the bargain - :)
if you like our little buttons, like the baby buttons, wedding buttons, etc - get them now!

In the meantime, have a great rest of the summer.
