Tip of the Month

Are you stamps well loved? Are they not sticking as well as they used to? Get a bowl of warm soapy water (dishsoap works fine) and give those stamps a bath. You don't need to scrub, just gently rub your fingers over the front and back of the stamp to clean. Rinse your stamp (if your rinsing in the sink don't forget to put the stopper in or use a strainer of some sort so they don't go down the drain). Lay the stamp face down on paper towel and let air dry. Your stamp will be sticky again in no time.

February Campaign

February Constant Campaign
Hearts for Haiti
Our hearts go out to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti, and like so many of you, we’re eager to help. We’re excited to announce Close To My Heart’s February Constant Campaign, Hearts for Haiti—where customers can get a great deal while doing great good for those affected by the devastation in Haiti.

From February 1-28, 2010, our 12” x 12” textured cardstock combo packs are buy one, get one FREE—and with every offer purchased, Close To My Heart will donate $2 US to Operation Smile’s Haiti relief efforts.
Operation Smile is always a fantastic charitable partner—offering free facial reconstruction surgeries to needy children throughout the world. They’ve currently marshaled their medical teams and resources to provide emergency relief in Haiti, and the donations given as part of Hearts for Haiti will be used exclusively for Operation Smile’s efforts in Haiti. For more information on their on-the-ground response, you can visit www.operationsmile.org/haiti.

Update

Hostess Club:
There is one spot left in the hostess club. If you are interested in taking it please contact me. Term is 6 months and the minimum purchase per month is 25.00. In the 6 month period you will be hostess for the gathering and earn the hostess rewards for that month. You're welcome to get outside orders to bring to the club in any month to raise the party total for a chance to earn more hostess rewards. We will be meeting this Thursday at 5:45 at my house to pick the hostess order and decide on the nights of the club and so forth. Please contact me if you are interested.

Crop:
Monthly crop on January 23rd from 9:00 am-11:00 pm. There are a few spots left, but you need to contact me to reserve one if you would like to come crop the day away. We do potluck and everyone brings their own drinks. You are welcome to use any non-consumables and I have items for sale as well.

Orders Due:
Orders for January will be due on January 23rd as well. Remember that there is a special for National Paper Crafting Month. Information can be found on the National Paper Crafting Month Blog

It's that time!

It's that time again. I will be starting up the hostess club again in February. Here are the details

Club 1 - Beginners Club - Commit to 6 months at 25.00 per month, you will complete a 2 page layout and learn basic techniques to help you feel more comfortable with scrapbooking. You will be hostess for one of the 6 months and will receive all the hostess credits for that month. So feel free to bring in outside orders to boost the party sales. Meetings are in my home in Weston. Please contact me for more information.

Club 2 - Seasoned Scrappers- Commit to 6 months at 25.00 per month, you will also complete a 2 page layout, but we will do more advanced techniques and sometimes a project. You will be hostess for one of the 6 months and will receive all the hostess credits for that month. So feel free to bring in outside orders to boost the party sales. Meetings are held in my home in Weston. Please contact me for more information.

Both clubs are about the same, but one is geared more towards beginners and one more towards advanced scrappers.
