50th Birthday Special Exclusively Through ME!

It's a hard pill to swallow, but my 50th birthday is this Saturday.  Yep, I'm hitting the half century mark.  My hubby asked me last night if there was something special I wanted to do to celebrate and I said, "Yes!  Let's do nothing and pretend it isn't really happening!"

The fact of the matter is that it is happening, so we might as well celebrate, right?  There are four numbers of importance in play here:  I turn 50 on AUGUST (Month 8) 27, and I was born in 1966.  Here's how the special works....

**********************************************

50:   Spend $50 or more (hint: if you take advantage of the Basically the Best special, you'll automatically qualify!) on my website on....
27:  the 27th of August (this Saturday, my birthday)

and you can choose one of these for FREE:

8: A Bunch of Love stamp set (C1647) on page 8 of Expressions II (which, by the way expires on August 31, so get whatever you want from this publication by August 31)

 OR

66: All 3 of the stamps on page 66 of the new Annual Inspirations Catalog (Little Leaves-M1150, Dandy-M1151, and Wreath-A1193).

All you need to do is place your order on my website on Saturday, August 27, then email me no later than Sunday, August 28 (pedermom@aol.com) and let me know if you want the free option 8 or free option 66.  Your 50th Birthday FREEBIE will come separately from your order.

Happy shopping!

 

March Specials with Close To My Heart

This is definitely March Madness! The specials this month are marvelously mad!

1.  STAMPAGANZA!!! (March 1-31)
2.  March Stamp of the Month (March 1-31)
--------------

1.  STAMPAGANZA!!!:  Yes, I'm yelling...in a good way!  Seriously, this special only comes around every few years, so NOW is the time to take advantage of it (and if you do by 11:59 pm on March 5, your order can count toward my cruise special too!).

During March, order two stamp sets and get a third set of equal or lesser value free. You and your customers can qualify for multiple free stamp sets on a single order, but the free stamp sets will always be the lowest-priced sets on the order. Stamp of the Month sets, Hostess Rewards sets, and the Animal Greetings stamp set are excluded from this special offer.   Buy 2, get 1 free. Buy 4, get 2 free. Buy 6, get 3 free...and so on!  Head on over to my website and start ordering!

Wondering what stamp sets would be awesome ones to choose? I'll share a few sets that I just can't live without.

You could buy this one (did you notice this set is also featured in the graphic at the top of this post?  That's because it's a must have!):

and this one:

 

and get this one FREE!

When ordering on my website, just enter all of the stamp sets you want and before you check out the lowest price set(s) will be zeroed out on your total.  Easy, peasy.  

2.  March Stamp of the Month - Sunshine Birdies:  This fun, springy set is great for cards and layouts alike (like the one at the top of this post created by the oh-so-talented Close To My Heart Art Department)!  It's only $5 ($12.95 savings) with every $50 you order (before shipping and tax).  Order $100, get 2...and so on.

Starting on Monday, I'll be sharing artwork I've created with this set each Monday, all month long.

When ordering on my website, you'll be prompted to add your set(s) before checking out.  This set of 11 includes sentiments, cute little bird stamps, a sun, branch, a few butterflies, and some musical notes. That's a lot of bang for your five bucks, I'd say!  Click here to be taken to the set on my website.

Love You Card + Memorial Day Sale

Happy Memorial Day! Don't forget the Memory-al Day Weekend Sale I am running. You have until 11:59 pm tonight (MST) to take advantage of it. You can see all of the details in yesterday's post here.

Today I thought I'd share another card (5 1/2" x 4 1/4") I created using the May Stamp of the Month - Just Sayin'.  I just stamped the squares in Canary Ink and Glacier Ink and cut them in half diagonally and adhered them to bottom edge of a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of White Daisy Cardstock to create the pattern.  I then adhered that to the front of a Whisper Cardstock 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card.  On a scrap of White Daisy Cardstock, I stamped the little striped banner and the cloud shaped label and cut those puppies out. I stamped the word "you" to the far right of the label and then added a puffy heart from the Chalk It Up Assortment. I then adhered those to the front of the card.  I did pop up the cloud label with 3D Foam Tape for some added interest.  Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy!

This stamp set is available only in May and is yours for only $5 ($12.95 savings) with every $50 you spend (before shipping and tax).  Spend $100...get 2, and so on.  When purchasing on my website, you'll be prompted to add your set(s) before you check out.

Also, don't forget that to celebrate National Scrapbooking Month this month, Close To My Heart has created and made available some juicy products! The Taste of Summer Paper Packet and Taste of Summer Stamp Set are just too good to pass up.  The paper packet is $8.95 and the stamp set is $17.95.  Both are available on my website during May.

Memorial Day Weekend SALE + Create a "Memory"ial!!!!

Hello, hello! Did you see my post yesterday?  You know, the one with the layout of our beautiful daughter that I created by taking apart our new "My Crush - For Her" mini-album?  If you are looking for something a little more masculine, you could do something similar with the "My Crush - For Him" mini as well.

With Memorial Day happening on Monday, what better time to create a memory-ial?  You could use one of these little 4" x 6" mini-albums like they are created, and fill it with photos and journaling...or you could create a few layouts by taking it apart, like I did! 

So, with that in mind, here is my Memorial Day Weekend Sale (US residents only):

1. Head to my website and start shoppin':  www.leavealegacy.ctmh.com 
2. Spend $50 (before shipping and tax) and get a FREE  "My Crush - For Her" or "My Crush - For Him" mini album from me ($10.95 value). Hint: With Father's Day just around the corner, the "My Crush - For Him" could be just the ticket!
3. Spend $100 (before shipping and tax) and get a second FREE "My Crush - For Her" or "My Crush - For Him" mini- album from me  ($10.95 value).
4. Don't forget that for every $50 you spend, you also get the May Stamp of the Month ("Just Sayin'") for $5 ($12.95 savings). Spend $100, get 2...and so on.

Each book 30 - 4" x 6" pages in a mix of styles (printed cardstock-weight paper, mini-page protectors, printed vellum) and is bound with a darling and durable exposed metal spiral spine.

Sale runs from Friday, May 22 through Monday, May 25.  

Sale ends at 11:59 pm  (MST) on May 25!

How does I get the special?

1. Place your order on my website (special is based on order total before shipping and tax)
2. Email me (pedermom@aol.com) with your choice of My Crush Mini(s) and the address you would like it shipped to.
3. I will mail you your My Crush Mini separately from your order, along with a hand-stamped thank you card AND a FREE Seasonal Expressions II Mini-Catalog. 

 

Think about it:
If you spend $50, get one FREE My Crush Mini and a $5 Stamp of the Month, then you are getting about $79 in value for your $55.

If you spend $100, get two FREE My Crush Mini's and two $5 Stamps of the Month (give one away as a gift!), then you are getting $158 for your $110.

That's a bargain, peeps!

Three Alohas and FREE STAMP SETS

The theme for today's post is "Aloha!"  Today involves Aloha in a few different ways....

1.  Aloha #1: 

Tomorrow my hubby and I leave for Hawaii on an all-expense paid trip to the Disney ulani Resort on Oahu.  This is the 11th trip I have earned through Close To My Heart and I am looking forward to a week of sun, sand, surf, snorkeling, and sittin' around!  THANK YOU, Close To My Heart for allowing me to earn these wonderful vacations and being able to share them with people I love!  Aloha to all of you as we depart!  Never fear, I have posts scheduled here on my blog for while I'm gone and I am running a GREAT Aloha special (see #3 below)

2.  Aloha #2:  

Tomorrow we also say Aloha to Easton, Daysha and Sage. Easton was hired by company called Federated and they will be moving to Minnesota for 8-9 months for Easton to complete his training.  Saying "Aloha" to these three for this long is going to be so hard (Minnesota is not just a hop, skip and a jump from Utah), but we couldn't be happier for them as they take this new step in their lives. Congrats, E, Daysha and Sage!  Now that you are done with college and have your first "real" job, I hereby christen you adults.

3. Aloha #3 - Aloha Special: 

This special is only available through me. You won't find it anywhere else. While I am "busy" being lazy in Hawaii, my business will be working for me (and YOU!) while I'm gone. For every person that orders $50 or more (before shipping and tax) on my website from Saturday, February 7 through Friday, February 13, you will receive a stamp set of your choice (A, B, C or M size) absolutely FREE from me.  Special valid for US residents only.  You'll easily hit your $50 minimum order by taking advantage of this month's Album Allure special. You also qualify for the Feb. Stamp of the Month for only $5 with a $50 order! WOWZA!

Here's how it works:

• Place your $50 or more (before shipping and tax) order on my website between Feb. 7 and Feb 13.
• Pick your favorite stamp set. You can see them all here.
• Email me with your choice of any A, B, C or M size set (pedermom@aol.com) as well as your mailing address.  D and E size sets do not apply.
  
• I will send your stamp set to you separately, along with a thank you card made by me!
