Today is the Day!

Today is the day...the day the new Close To My Heart Autumn/Winter Idea Book goes live. As you can see just by looking here at the photo of it's cover, it is full of beautiful papers, stamps and accessories. In fact, why don't I share a little bit of artwork using new kits, stamps and accessories in this new book to wet your whistle? The artwork was done by the Close To My Heart Art Department. Yummy! Feel free to click on any image in this email to see it larger. I know you'll want to see every artistic detail!

Before I share the photos, I just wanted to remind you that the link to the virtual catalog will be on the left side of my blog the second it is available. It should be some time today. You will be able to view it page by page just like you would if you had it right in your stampin' and scrappin' hands.

If you would like your very own copy, to hold in those stampin' and scrappin' hands, just email me (pedermom@aol.com) and let me know that you want a book as well as your name, mailing address, email address (so I can let you know about monthly specials, classes, etc.) and phone number. I'll get one in the mail to you right away, my treat.

The first four photos I am sharing are of artwork highlighting the four new kits in the Autumn/Winter Idea Book; Grace, Sweet Home, Twitterpated and Jingle...all as mouth wateringly delicious as their names!

Here is the elegant Grace kit (Level 1 Kit-X7117A, Level 2 Kit-X7117B, MyStickease-X7117C) which features warm and inviting colors that are perfect for Autumn. Check out the chipboard circle on the layout. This is one of my favorite new products called Dimensional Elements On Target (Z1226). It is full of chipboard circles of every size and decor!

This kit is called Sweet Home (Level 1 kit-X7116A, Level 2 kit-X7116B, MyStickease-X7116C). I love the mix of Garnet, Indian Corn Blue, Heavenly Blue and Buttercup. Don't you? You'll notice a cool new product on the photo on the layout. These slick little guys are called "Top Coats" (Z1211) and come in a package of 12. They are photo size (4x6) transparencies, each with their own unique design. 6 of the package use a white daisy colored design and the other six use colonial white. Top Coats are a must-have for any scrapper!
This one is Twitterpated (Level 1 kit-X7118A, Level 2 kit-X7118B, MyStickease-X7118C). The patterned paper (B&T paper) in this kit is so versatile and the color mix is fun and lively. Can you see all those cute patterned chipboard buttons that are on the projects below? I LOVE these and have been using them like crazy already. They are called Dimensional Elements In Color-Organic (Z1230) and include 27 chipboard buttons covered with darling patterns and designs that work perfectly with the Twitterpated kit, as well as so many other things. The buttons range in size from 1/2" to 1 1/2".

And last, but certainly not least, the bright candy colors of the Jingle kit (Level 1 kit-X7115A, Level 2 kit-X7115B, MyStickease-X7115C). This one will highlight your holidays with fun and energy. Don't you love the colors? Mmmmm!. A new accessory item that works perfectly with this kit are our new twinkle brads. They come with a mix of 3 sizes and 4 colors, 24 brads in all (Z1220) and are sparkly! Love that bling. The colors and bling of these darling brads are a great addition to this kit.

One last photo. This one is of 4 cards I created using the September Stamp of the Month, Treasures (D1375-$22.95), which is only available from September 1-30, 2009. It is a GREAT set with 13 images in all, filled with sentiments, dandelions, stems and hearts. You can get this stamp set at 25% off ($17.21) by placing a $25 order (before shipping and tax), at 50% off ($11.48) by placing a $50 order (before shipping and tax), 75% off ($5.74) by placing a $75 order (before shipping and tax), or FREE with a $100 order (before shipping and tax).
You can order any of the items you see here, as well as anything else in the brand new Autumn/Winter Idea Book beginning today on my website (http://leavealegacy.myctmh.com). Don't forget the "Delight in the Everyday" special celebrating September as National Stamping Month. You can see details about that on the left side of my blog, as well as on my website. I have only scratched the surface on our new kits, stamps and products. Keep checking back here on my blog over the next few weeks and you'll see lots of artwork using new products in our Autumn/Winter line.

Today is the day, alright! Don't miss out!
