May Promotions Ending Tomorrow Night

I hope you are enjoying Memorial Day. Thank you to all of the men and woman who have served or are currently serving our great country and to their families for their sacrifices.

This is just a quick post to remind you that the May promotions are ending tomorrow night.

The May 2016 Stamp of the Month is Celebrate with Cake

A card I created with the SOTM:

May 2016 in National Scrapbooking Month—Happy Times

To celebrate National Scrapbooking Month Close To My Heart created Happy Times, a paper packet (CC1063) and coordinating D-size stamp set (CC1064).

Here is a card I created with the papers and stamp set:

#AlltheAlbums

Since May is National Scrapbooking Month, Close To My Heart is offering a 25% discount on all of the currently available My Legacy™ albums.

The currently available (as of 5/29/2016) My Legacy™ albums are:

D-Ring Albums	Post-Bound Albums
Black D-Ring Album (Z3034)	Black Post-Bound Album no longer available
Ruby Floral D-Ring Album (Z2091)	Ruby Floral Post-Bound Album (Z2093)
Lagoon Chevron D-Ring Album (Z2090)	Lagoon Post-Bound Album no longer available
Slate Circles D-Ring Album (Z1981)	Slate Circles Post-Bound Album (Z1983)
Cocoa Damask D-Ring Album (Z1980)	Cocoa Damask Post-Bound Album (Z1982)

While this is not a promotion during the month of May, the clock is ticking down for purchasing many items from Annual Inspirations 2015-2016 which is valid to July 31, 2016.

I posted the a list of retiring stamps in March and a list of other retiring products yesterday. Both lists are combined on the Retiring July 31, 2016 page (link also in green bar above). In the four years I have been a CTMH Independent Consultant I have seen products "fly out the door" after they have been added to the retiring list. If there are any items that you like and you would be disappointed if they sell out, I suggest purchasing sooner rather than later.

If you are ready to place an order, the Shop Now button will take you there.

If you have any product or promotion questions, do not hesitate to email me. You will also find me on Facebook at Brenda's Paper Crafts. Thank you for visiting today.

How To Sign Up For the Monthly CTMH Newsletter

The Close To My Heart Corporate Office sends out a monthly newsletter early in the month. If you are not signed up for the newsletter and would like to receive it, the steps to sign up are posted below.

Why am I telling you how to sign up for the CMTH newsletter when I also send a monthly message? Because during the month of June CTMH will send a message each Friday to let you know when the Flash Sales start.

Flash Sales over the weekend is what is happening at CTMH during June. Additional details will be posted on June 1, but there are a few bits posted on my Monthly Specials page.

To sign up for the CTMH newsletter, first go to my Online Business Address and login; if you are a new customer look for the "Start here" link to the right of the CTMH logo in the upper left. When you are logged on, choose "My Account" on the right.

When you click on "My Account", your screen will look like this:

If you are not subscribed, choose "Change my account information", which will make your screen change to this:

To subscribe just click the box to the left of "I want to subscribe to the Close To My Heart newsletter" and then click the "Save My Account" button. When your changes are saved your screen will look like this.

Finally, you will want to check your email for a message from "Close To My Heart, Inc." with the subject "Close To My Heart Newsletter: Please Confirm Subscription". My message arrived quickly so if you do not find it within a few minutes be sure to check your Spam folder. Click the link to confirm your subscription and you are all set to receive the reminders about the Flash Sales.

I am signed up for the newsletter and I promise that you do not receive a lot of mail from Close To My Heart; they typically send a message just once per month.

If you have any questions, please use to Contact Form to the right and I will respond as soon as I am able. Thank you for visiting today.

CTMH Products Retiring from Annual Inspirations 2015-2016

Close To My Heart recently released the list of products retiring from Annual Inspirations 2015-2016. The items will no longer be available after July 31, and are available while supplies last (see exceptions at the bottom).

If you would like to download a PDF or XLS copy to print and "mark up", you will find copies here in my Google Drive. Below are images of the retiring products and a link to the item on my OBA so you may view the product description and, hopefully make a purchase.

This completes the list of retiring items.

Items with **x** around their product number have a special retiring distinction. From the Update when Corporate announced the retiring items list: "Although our other retired products will be unavailable after July 31, in the case of these three retiring Cricut® cartridges and the rolling tote, we will keep them available past the July 31 deadline while supplies last, so that you and your customers can continue placing orders for these favorites until they are all gone."

If you would like to host an Online Gathering with the goal to earn any of the Cricut® cartridges or the Rolling Tote as a half-price item, we can set a Gathering up on my OBA.

If you are ready to place an order, the Shop Now button will take you there.

If you have any product or promotion questions, do not hesitate to email me. You will also find me on Facebook at Brenda's Paper Crafts.
