Circle Album

Have you ever taken part in a Circle Album? Or a Circle Journal? The idea is to get a group of scrappers together and each person contributes to your album. At the end, you have a completed album that has been crafted especially for you by your friends and fellow scrappers.

My scrapbooking club is undertaking such a project this year and I'm delighted to be taking part in it. Me and nine other scrappers will be exchanging albums monthly and by December we'll have completed the circle.

Each scrapper is picking a topic for the album. Mine is The Cottage. When it's done, I'll be taking my album up to the cottage and leaving it there for everyone to enjoy. I'm collecting pictures from everyone who uses the cottage--in laws, cousins, friends and other family--to include in the album. I'm really excited about this project and can't wait to get working on other people's albums.

The album starts off with a couple of pages created by the album owner.

A title page:
Featuring CTMH Back Country papers, Keyboard Uppercase stamps.


The first double-page layout (to appear soon).

A Sign In Page. This page is to acknowledge the people who worked on the album. I've created mine as a thank you page with spots for wallet sized photos of the contributors.
Featuring Clementine papers and stamps.


You know CTMH products will feature heavily in the pages I create for other people's albums, so look for monthly blogs about the pages I'll be making.

March for Stamps and Savings!

Create cards, layouts and home decor with the March Stamp of the Month!
With a new month comes a new stamp! The March 2013 Stamp of the Month is a beautiful series of blooming rose stamps with sentiments. This stamp set is a "base and shade" stamp set, containing a base silhouette stamp and a shade details stamp.

To create the roses and leaves, simply stamp the base stamp in a light shade then stamp the detail stamp in a darker shade. This works for different shades of ink (such as Sunset and Autumn Terracotta) or for generational stamping--use second generation for the base and first generation for the details.

However you put the flowers and sentiments together, you'll have an endless garden of colour!

As always, the Stamp of the Month is available for only $5 with a $50 order. Not ordering $50 worth of product but still want the Stamp of the Month? No problem! The Stamp of the Month is available for the regular price of $17.95. Don't miss out on this wonderful stamp set!

The Jump for Joy promotion this month offers you a wonderful way to stock up on your favourite Close To My Heart products at a discount. Simply host your own Gathering (in-home, online or a workshop) in March and when your sales totals reach $250 or more, as the Hostess you'll qualify to JUMP to the next level of Hostess Rewards.

Here is the special Rewards breakdown for March:
$250-$349 in sales = $60 in free products + 1 item at 50% off
$350-$449 in sales = $80 in free products + 2 items at 50% off
$450-$549 in sales= $100 in free products + 2 items at 50% off
And it keeps going up from there!
With the average customer order being about $50 (many people want to achieve the $5 Stamp of the Month discount price), you can see how easily the sales totals can add up to free Rewards.
