It's been busy...

. . . and it's not going to slow down any time soon! Close To My Heart is now offering Workshops On The Go (WOTG). They offer great products at a great price and many options on how to assemble the kit - it doesn't matter if you prefer scrapbooking or cardmaking. These kits can be used either way. The workshop guide provides assembly instructions for a 2 page scrapbooking layout and instructions for 3 cards (you can make 2 of each). None of these designs have been published in our hardcover books. There are also suggestions to complete another 2 page layout and 3 more cards that have been published in our how to programs. Just refer to them for the details!

The first Workshop On The Go will be the Twitterpated kit (G1000). The BASIC KIT has a retail value of $35.85 but is offered to you at the discounted price of $29.95. It includes Twitterpated Level 2 Paper Packet, Designer Ribbon Rounds Chocolate Collection, Workshop Guide and an exclusive stamp set Hello There that is only available as part of this kit. To upgrade to the BEST OPTION (which includes all of the additional embellishments), you need to order the BASIC KIT (G1000, $29.95) and then add Dimensional Elements in Color - Organic (Z1230, $3.95), Natural Hemp (Z280, $2.25) and Brads Basic Assortment (Z1218, $4.95). Other optional items you may elect to include in order to complete projects as shown are the My Acrylix Headline Alphabet Large (E1011, $34.95), Chocolate Exclusive Inks Pad (Z2111, $5.25), Sorbet Exclusive Inks Pad (Z2164, $5.25), Sweet Leaf Exclusive Inks Pad (Z2153, $5.25), Liquid Glass ( Z679, $6.95) and a sponge ( Z697, $1.25).

Anyone ordering this kit by October 15 will be able to attend a FREE 2 hour work session held on either Thursday night October 29 from 7-9pm or Saturday morning October 31 from 10am-noon.

Below is a sneak peak at the November WOTG which will use the Jingle paperpack. The BASIC KIT has a retail value of $31.85, but is again offered to you at $29.95. The BEST OPTION adds Cranberry Designer Ribbon Rounds and Dimensional Elements On Target. More details will follow on this, but just mentioned now so you have a chance to get these dates on your calendar - November WOTG supplies need to be ordered by November 5th. Because of Thanksgiving Jingle WOTG work sessions will be offered on Thursday, November 19 from 7-9 pm or Saturday November 21 from 10-noon.

Unpublished 2 page layout is shown above and the three unpublished cards included in the Jingle WOTG are shown below.

September 1 - NW CTMH Idea Book is active!




Come to my place and see the new Fall/Winter CTMH book this week or next and get one to take home! I am having THREE (yes, three) times when you can come and get some of the new products into your hands to see and adore! There are so many products to try this time that I will have one or two projects for you (well, maybe three!)


1. First time to get your Idea Book is on THIS THURSDAY (Sept. 3) evening from 7-9pm


2. Second time will be SATURDAY MORNING ( Sept. 5) from 10-Noon


3. The last roll-out party is on FRIDAY (Sept. 11) from 10-Noon.




After that time I will change my focus to the Zumbrota Area Art Splash (actual title is Zumbro River Art Splash), which is being held on Saturday Sept. 12 from 10am to 5pm. This is a chance to get into a variety of artist studios or gallery spots to purchase original hand crafted art work. You will be able to see baskets at my shop.
