The new Annual Inspirations Book is here!

It is finally here, the new 2015/2016 Annual Inspirations Book! Boil the kettle, make yourself a cuppa, and settle in for all the details of this new catalog!

For starters, you'll notice an increase in price across most of the range. Every business has to change their prices in order to cover costs and stay competitive and Close to my Heart are no exception. Paper packets, Mini-E sized stampsets, and Workshop on the Go kits have not changed in price, while everything else has.

Now we get to the fun stuff, the specials!

September is National Stamping Month, and this year Close To My Heart has something to help every kind of papercrafter say a big “hello!” to life!

Available only during the month of September, these exclusive C-size My Acrylix® Hello, Life! stamp sets can be purchased for $21 each! Or, for an even better deal, you can purchase all three for only $53—a savings of $10! Each stamp set is designed to fit with a specific type of papercrafting, whether that’s traditional scrapbooking, cardmaking, or pocket scrapbooking. However, all the stamp sets coordinate with each other and can be used together to create dynamic artwork. These stamp sets also coordinate with shapes from the new Cricut® Artistry collection to help expand your artwork options even further. Remember, these stamp sets are available for one month only, so get your orders in for one stamp set—or all three—before these gorgeous stamps disappear! Make certain to follow Close To My Heart’s blog, Instagram, and Facebook page for artwork inspiration featuring these lively stamp sets all month long. You can post your own artwork to your social media channels using the hashtag #ctmhHelloLife.

I've changed my monthly scrapbooking workshop format. We're going back to the basics! Click here for more details. This month, my theme is Sangria. I am in love with the gorgeous zingy tones and patterns in this collection!

This month we're making 4 beautiful pages. Here's one of them!

These two cards I made with scraps and some more new goodies.

Sangria paper packet, Christmas Star stampset, Eggplant ink, Confetti and Confetti Stars embossing folder
