Changes Coming to Close To My Heart

Convention was in July for Close To My Heart and with it came expected, exciting changes for our 2018-2019 calendar year. There were several and I am sure over the next year a couple more will be added, but for now we have a few moving forward. 

First of all CTMH has announced a new major change to our Idea Books/Catalogs. Instead of publishing one main catalog filled with our annual stamp sets, Cricut cartridges, organizers, our color palette, albums, tools, etc and having three additional Expressions housing our seasonal paper and stamp collections, CTMH is releasing on September 1st, the first of their "three a year" Idea book format. Each (three) Expressions will much larger and filled with all the items mentioned above. We will no longer have to keep up with two separate catalogs! I am really excited about this new change! Can it get any better? Yes....PLUS.....with the release of "each three" Expressions, CTMH will mail you a FREE Expressions with your first order with me! There is not a minimal order for this. Yippee!

Our card stock packaging and price is changing. Many customers have mentioned and requested a smaller packet of our card stock and CTMH has listened. Currently our card stock is available in a 24-sheet pack for $14.50, Effective September 1, the packs will have 12 sheets at a price of only $9.95 per pack. I myself love the larger packs for class and will be ordering a few extra of my favorite colors. If you like having more card stock on hand, I would suggest ordering your favorite colors in July.

Our "retiring" colors have been announced for this year. This means that in our new Seasonal Expressions being released September 1st, these colors will no longer be available for both our ink pads and card stock. Here is a list of the retiring colors. I will miss Juniper and Cranberry most of all. If you have these retiring colors on your wish list, now would be a great time to pick them up before they are retired on August 31st or until supply lasts.

There are a few more changes coming, but they will have to wait until tomorrows post. Have a great night and stay close to the AC. It is expected to be in the triple digit temperatures for the next week or so here in Fort Worth. A trip to Alaska sounds wonderful! 

Happy Scrappin! Cheryl
