A Free Damask Bag and a Damask Stamp Set to Match

I just had to post today to remind you that you have 4 more days to take advantage of 2 August specials (#'s 1 and 2 below) with Close To My Heart. I also thought I'd reminder you of the September National Stamping Month Special (#3 below) that CTMH began early on August 15.

That's lots to celebrate, don't you think? Speaking of celebrating, we have been celebrating around my house since last Thursday. Tannon got home from his mission (see the last few posts), Kori, Rick and their kiddos are here for a few weeks, Easton and Daysha came up to spend some time with us, we took family photos (can't wait to see them!), we had Tannon's Welcome Home Open House on Sunday (hundreds came!) and yesterday was my birthday (39 again).  Dan fixed all of us a beautiful dinner.  He asked me earlier this week if I could pick anything I wanted for my birthday, what would it be. I quickly answered. I just want you to be patient and not complain during family photos (is that something you would love from your husbands too?) and pamper me all day on my birthday.  I am exhausted from all of this celebrating. He came through with flying colors!  Thank you, Dan-the-Man!

My grandkids (Daci, Livvi and Street) and I.  They all came for my birthday dinner last night.

 With all of our celebrating, I find it quite appropriate that there is so much to celebrate and take advantage of with CTMH in the next few days. Here we go....

1.  "It's In The Bag!":  When you sign up to be a Close To My Heart Consultant in August (for as little as a $49 kit...which includes over $130 in product!), you will receive a FREE Damask Tote Bag (retail value of $50) while supplies last. This handy, attractive tote with the Close To My Heart logo lets everyone know you are a CTMH Independent Consultant--with class and style! Choose the $49 New Consultant Essentials Kit or the $99 Master Kit which includes more supplies and tools and CTMH will send you a tote bag free--only in August and only while supplies last. Sign up on my website here. I would LOVE to have you join my team this month! I'm committed to helping you reach your goals!

By the way, hurry quickly. When these bags are gone, they are gone.  The stock is getting low (less than 18% left as of yesterday) so if you are contemplating signing up, you will want to do it right away so you don't miss out!

2. August Stamp of the Month:  If you are a damask lover like me, you will NEED this set. I had fun creating several things with it the other day (which I will be sharing throughout the month) and love how it stamps up!  This set is available only during the month of August and is only $5 with a $50 (before shipping and tax) order.  If you are ordering on my website, you will be prompted to add this gorgeous set before you check out.  Lovin' it!

Here is the awesome stamp set (the actual size of the carrier sheet is 6" x 6"):

The 4" x 4" card you see at the top of the post was made using this set. I embossed the stamp you see in the lower bottom corner  of the carrier sheet above with my Versamark Pad and Black Embossing Powder on one of our Dimensional Elements Hearts.  I then opened my Cotton Candy Pad and rubbed the heart with it.  The Musical Background you see was stamped on White Daisy Cardstock with our Black Archival Pad. This stamp comes from one of my all time favorite stamp sets, "Universal Backgrounds". It's a must-have.  I added a Black Gingham Bow and Sponged the edges of the note background piece with my trusty Cotton Candy Pad. The sentiment piece is stamped with one of the awesome stamps in the "A Little Thanks" stamp set.  To top it off, I added a couple of Clear Sparkles and then mounted everything on a 4" x 4" Black Cardstock Card. Voila!  There you have it, a perfect gift card!

While we're at it, let me remind you about the National Scrapbooking Month special:

3.  September is National Stamping Month and as usual, Close To My Heart started the celebration a little early.  They are celebrating by offering you this gorgeous double stamp set (value of $35.90) for only $5 with a $35 purchase (Before shipping and tax. Clearance items don't apply). Start shopping on my website. You'll be prompted to add this stamp set (and the awesome August Stamp of the Month if you spend $50..this set is valued at $17.95) for only $5 before you check out.

Have a great day, everyone!  I'm off to a fun day of shopping and lunch with my sweet daughter, Kori. She is in town for a few more weeks and wanted to take me out to a fun day to celebrate my birthday.
