November Specials

November brings us the Lucky 5 constant campaign and the November Stamp of the month.

Lucky 5

November marks the five-year anniversary of Studio J^®, and that means it’s your lucky month, with five amazing ways to win through Studio J and Close To My Heart social media!

First, throughout the month of November, all layouts purchased in Studio J are $5! That is a savings of over 25% off of retail! Your second chance to win big must come by sheer luck: every fifth order placed in Studio J during November receives a FREE surprise Close To My Heart accessory in its shipping box! The accessory has a retail value of $5 or more.

If luck doesn’t smile on you in that way, you might stumble upon it by finding a little extra something in your Studio J box. Five “golden tickets” will be sent out during the month of November with randomly selected Studio J print orders! This “golden ticket” is redeemable for one of Close To My Heart’s new D-ring albums* loaded with 10 Top Load Memory Protectors™.

For a fourth way to win, simply create new, gorgeous layouts in Studio J, select your favorites, and then post pictures of them on Close To My Heart’s Facebook page using the hashtag #ctmhlucky5. After November 30, five lucky winners will be selected from the entries based on their artistry and creativity and each of these winners will receive their own D-ring album loaded with 10 Top Load Memory Protectors!

And there is one last way to win: take your new Studio J artwork and post a picture of it on Instagram using the hashtag #ctmhlucky5. Just as it is with Facebook, after November 30, five lucky winners will be selected from the entries to receive their own D-ring album loaded with 10 Top Load Memory Protectors!

Patriotism!

With Flag Day, Independence Day, Canada Day, and more right around the corner, now is the perfect time to celebrate military service and promote patriotism with our three new patriotic stamp sets—only available for a limited time from June 1 – July 31, 2013!

One B-size stamp set and two D-size stamp sets were created specifically to celebrate independence and freedom. The best part is that $5 from every patriotic D-size stamp set and $3 from every patriotic B-size stamp set sold will benefit a military-support charitable organization.

Donations in the US will be made to the USO, the leading, most recognized military-support and services organization in the country. Donations in Canada will be made to the Canadian Hero Fund, which supports spouses and children of fallen Canadian military troops by helping provide post-secondary education funds.

Show your military support and patriotism by purchasing your very own patriotic stamp set today. We love our troops!

This is 40!

Life at 40 is great and it was great fun creating this layout for one of my workshops. This is the Dotty for You papers from last years Close to My Heart promotion for National Scrapbook Day. I admit I have been hoarding this paper as I LOVE it! I love the bright fun colours and awesome patterns. I am so digging the chevron pattern even though you only see a splash of it. 

Close to my Heart has hit another home run this year for National Scrapbooking Month with the Dream Pop Papers I just got my shipment in and all I can say is WOW! I can not wait to play with this paper!

Supplies used (all CTMH unless otherwise stated):

Paper:

- Dott for You

- White Daisy card stock

Embellishments:

- Sparkles Clear Flourishes - Small

- Mini Medley Flowers

Chipboard letters and Rub on's are from TLC (no longer in business)

If you have any questions, please let me know. 

Until next time, happy scrapping!
