Breaking news

For all the lovelies out there wondering about the new D-ring albums....

They're here! *happy dance*Here's the information direct from Corporate's email today:

Album Update: D-Ring Now Available, Faux Leather Inventory Status

"Our first shipment of the new My Legacy™ D-Ring albums has arrived, and we are making them immediately available to order. This first shipment contained a limited number of the 2 styles of D-ring albums (slate and cocoa), and we expect the stock to be depleted soon. Rather than placing the albums on backorder, we will be making them unavailable to order once the inventory is depleted, until we receive additional stock of the albums. Because the albums will be arriving in multiple shipments, they may be made unavailable multiple times over the coming weeks.

Also, please be aware that as we transition from the faux leather albums to the coated canvas albums, we anticipate some of the faux leather albums to become unavailable as well. Because of the vast difference in album quantities on hand, it is not feasible to provide a gauge indicating percentage of stock on hand; however, we will strive to keep you apprised of album availability.

Currently, the Dark Cranberry album (Z1343) and the Hollyhock album (Z1344) are the lowest in stock, with an outage of the Dark Cranberry likely within the week. At current sales levels, stock of the Hollyhock album is anticipated to last through mid-June. Both the Dark Chocolate (Z1342) and the Outdoor Denim (Z1346) may experience a brief backorder in May as the last of our material is manufactured into completed albums. Once all the completed albums are manufactured, we will have a large enough inventory of these two colors to easily last through the current Idea Book’s season ending 31 July, 2014."

You can order these here, along with the rest of the fabulous ranges from Close To My Heart. Don't forget the double up promotions for May: Free To Be Me and Stamp of the Month. Any questions? Contact me! I'm here to help and to show you how.

Upcoming Special/Retiring Items Announcement

Good afternoon all! I trust you're enjoying your Valentine's Day. I'm watching replays of the Winter Olympics events, checking out the latest corporate email, and scrapping some new pages using my vast stash of pretty papers, inks, stamps, and embellishments.

Here's the pertinent updates that corporate have sent out.

1. March Constant Campaign: Studio Savings

 The March Constant Campaign will bring you fabulous Studio Savings when you use Studio J™. During the month of March, Studio J layouts are just $8 AUD - that’s $2 off the regular price! You and your customers can make the most of these savings by starting the creating process today, so that when March rolls around, you’ll have layouts galore to order at a discount with no rush!

Want more information? Click here or come over to my studio and I can show you all the features in person. :) Contact me to book a time.

2. Product Categories Retiring
With the release of each new Idea Book, we strive to apprise you of key product lines that are being featured in the Idea Book for the last time. While we do not provide early notification on all products, we are providing this selected information so that you can better anticipate changes to core product lines and communicate those changes to your customers. The February–July 2014 Idea Book will be the last to include the following products:

Exclusive Inks™ marker sets

Textiles

Faux Leather albums

Note that on the faux-leather albums, only albums with that material will be retiring. The next Idea Book will still feature solid color post-bound albums in brown and black, but they will be covered with the same coated fabric as our new albums.

This update was sent to all consultants in Australasia. I've no doubt that these items will start to sell out in coming weeks. Want to get ahead of the pack and stock up on these retiring items? Click the Join button on my website and shop away. Any time you want to check the retiring items list, just click that link on my website. It is regularly updated as stock is depeleting.

I really truly appreciate your business and helping me get Creating with Kara Davies off the ground. It means the world to me!
