Birthday Tag Card

Isn't this cupcake tag card just darling?  I love it!  And, in March, you can get the Sweet Birthday stamp set and coordinating thin cuts (dies) that I used to make it absolutely FREE ($18.95 value) when you join my team as a Close To My Heart Consultant.

It only costs $75 to become a Close To My Heart Consultant, you get over $200 in products and supplies in your kit, AND, in March, you also get this little bundle as well.  That means about $220 in products and supplies for $75. 

As a CTMH Consultant, you earn a generous commission on your sales and get a dynamite discount on your own purchases. Whether you want to sign up to get a discount, make a little bit of extra money each month, make a lot of money each month, or somewhere in between all of that, CTMH is for you. I love what I do! I'm confident you will too. You can sign up just by clicking here.

Here's a little close up of the tag card:

Once you sign up, I'll be in touch with you shortly to see how I can be of help to you.

Sisterhood and Close To My Heart

I've been a Close To My Heart Consultant for 24 years, and it's been an awesome ride. I'm looking forward to the next 24!  There are so many things I love about CTMH; from the products to the people, from the creativity to the craftiness, from the money to the motivation, from its versatility to its value.  The list could go on. 

Today, I wanted to focus on the SISTERHOOD of this company. From the first day that I joined, all those many moons ago, I have felt like a part of something so much more than a company with great products. I have felt a sense of SISTERHOOD. This company is full of people who care and share.

My team is called The Pacemakers (because we set the pace and keep THE HEART {as in Close To my Heart} pumpin'!).  My team is a million dollar, award winning team.  All of that is great, but it's the SISTERHOOD that makes it special.  I've seen members of my team help each other, reach out to each other in times of need, surprise each other, gather funds to help each other, share business and creative ideas with each other, and encourage each other.  THIS is SISTERHOOD!

My team is comprised of about 250 women, but because of the bond we all share, it feels like a big, happy family.  When our granddaughter was diagnosed with leukemia last year, my mailbox was flooded with cards. When my husband went through a period of unemployment, my team lifted us up and helped us through...and that is not just something they do for me. It's something they do for each other.

Now, you can see that SISTERHOOD is something that is unique to this company, and to my team.  I love this company and my team, and the people who make those things so much more than that. Would you like to be part of that SISTERHOOD?

This month Close To My Heart is running an awesome special for those who would like to be Consultants (or maybe have been in the past and would like to re-join). 

New Consultants who join Close To My Heart in February will get the February, March, and April Stamp of the Month sets for FREE! That’s an additional $53.85 in retail value added to the already incredible value of the New Consultant Kit!   Click here to sign up!

For our former Close To My Heart Consultants, we are offering a lower-priced, no-kit enrollment option that will allow former Consultants to sign up for just $50! They will still receive $50 in Select Product Credit to spend on products of their choice, meaning they basically get to sign up for free! PLUS they’ll get the February, March, and April Stamp of the Month sets for FREE! Click here to sign up.

The New Consultant Kit is full of amazing goodies. It's only $75 and is full of over $200 worth of products (including a $50 CTMH shopping spree!)!

Whether you want to make a lot of $ and build a substantial income, just want your products at a great discount, need a few extra hundred dollars a month, or somewhere in between all of that, CTMH is for YOU!  As soon as you're all signed up, I'll get an email from CTMH letting me know you are a new member of my team, and I'll be in touch to get you rolling! Here's to SISTERHOOD!

October Specials with Close To My Heart

I think it was one of my favorite characters, Anne of Green Gables, who said, "I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers!"  I agree with Anne, and I think you will too, once you hear and see all about the October specials with Close To My Heart.

1.  Real Rewards
2.  October Stamp of the Month - Yuletide Joy
------------------

1.  Real Rewards:

During the month of October, hostesses have another fantastic option for using their Hostess Rewards credit—they can apply it toward a New Consultant Kit! When your Gathering reaches $250 in sales, not only will you get 50% off a product of your choice, but you can also choose to use your $40 in Hostess Rewards credit to get a discounted New Consultant Kit! With higher Gathering totals, you can save even more (or even earn it FREE!)!

What is a gathering, you may ask? Well, that can be one of two things...it can be a traditional gathering where you invite your friends and I come and teach a little bit about papercrafting and they make a hands-on project and place orders, OR you can just share our products and collect orders instead of doing an in-person event. Either way works!  We even have a way to set it up online for you so even your long-distance friends can just go in and place an order.  Easy, peasy!

Dates: Offer valid October 1, 2016 (12:01 am MDT) – October 31, 2016 (11:59 pm MDT)

Here is what comes in your New Consultant Kit ($75, but like I said, you can earn that at a discount or FREE with this month's special!). This kit is valued at over $200.

Today is the Last Day!

Today is the last day for...
1.  The Baby, I'm Worth It special
2.  The April Stamp of the Month
3.  Ordering from the Expressions 1 Mini-Catalog

Check out all of this goodness in this post and this post.

GET READY:  The Expressions II Mini-Catalog goes live tomorrow, as well as lots (and I mean LOTS) of other good stuff (Hint: May is National Scrapbooking Month and there are awesome specials to go right along with it)!  Be sure to stop back by the blog tomorrow for the scoop-dee-doop!

Don't Forget!

Don't forget the April, "Baby, I'm Worth It!" special!  This special ends on April 30 at 11:59 PM (MT).  Let me remind you a bit about it...

 

First of all, the New Consultant kit is just $75!

• The kit will be filled with basic business supplies that will include a Medium Organizer!  (full list of the supplies in the kit at the end of this post.)
• $50 Select Product Credit – this will be in your account the moment that your application is processed.  You can pick the paper and stamps you like the most!  
• The Consultant Kit is valued at $214 (did I mention it's only $75?)!

 If you sell $350 in your first 30 days, you will receive:

• FREE Cricut Collection of your choice OR an additional $100 in Select Product Credit!  (I am squealing with joy!)
• THREE exclusive stamp sets that can only be earned by reaching those sales in your first 30 days (see below)  These three sets are valued at $54!
• Commission on $350 in sales is $77! 
• Think about that!  For a $75 investment and selling $350 in your first 30 days you get $214 in product in your kit, $77 commission, $54 stamp sets, plus a free Cricut Collection or $100 in Select Product Credit! That's over $445 for a $75 investment!

Here's a fun card I made using these sets. I also made the layout at the top of this post using these sets.   The layout shows you just one more reason you should take advantage of the "Baby, I'm Worth It" special this month and sign up to be a Consultant....CONVENTION!  Every year we gather together and have a BLAST learning, creating, laughing and enjoying!  It's the party of the year!

So you see, your initial $75 investment really holds a value of over $445 with this special!

Let me tell you a little more:

• During April, we are in the Consultant Preview Period for Consultants.  You will be able to pre-order product from Seasonal Expressions 2 (the  new mini-catalog that premiers to customers on May 1) and the May National Scrapbooking Day special.  This is a special perk for Consultants only!
• Interested in doing this as a business and teaching several classes per month?  Awesome! I can show you how!
• Interested in having just a class or two a month?  You can do that, too, and then your product is FREE or you earn some extra household income!
• Interested in just ordering  for you and your friends?  Perfect!  Quarterly minimums are just $300.  Easy, peasy!
• Your instant commission is 22% (and you get even more back the more you sell) and you earn Select Product Credit each month according to your sales.

What do I do for my team?  Let me tell you...

• I am in my office every weekday to answer your questions and help you in any way that I can.
• I help train you to be the type of Consultant you want to be. You tell me your goals with CTMH, and I can help you set the goals and know what to do to meet them.
• I have a team Facebook group where you can get to know your team members all over the United States, ask questions, and share your creativity!  You'll love this!
• I send out a training email each Tuesday called "Tuesday's Tips and Talk" full of great ideas, tips and updates.
• I hold challenges and incentives for my team members to help you reach your best.
• I hold in person and conference call team meetings regularly that you can attend and learn from.
• I offer one-on-one mentoring for my team members.  

I know you will LOVE being a part of my team (we are called "The Pacemakers" because we keep THE HEART {as in Close To My Heart} pumpin'!) and our company!
