Scribbles 'n Scraps

With June only days away, I thought I’d share the HAPPY CTMH news! If you love our My Acrylix stamps, you’ll love them even more now. Guess what June is?

Stampaganza!

Starting June 3 until June 30, 2008 My Acrylix stamps are Buy two, Get One. That means you can order any two stamp sets, pay regular normal price, and get any other stamp set that is equal or lesser value FREE. FREE I said!

There are a few more details, and you can email me to find out more. I will try to include all pertinent info in my June newsletter which will go out June 1.

Isn’t that so cool? I have about a dozen on my wish list and I am totally thinking this would be a great time to stock up!

I am one of those people that while I am very excited about everything I do, I sometimes have trouble advertising myself when I am out in public. I tend to rely on clothing, tote bags and other items to get the conversation started.

I recently found ScrapWarrior’s Scrapbook Clothing Shop, and then was reminded again about it in an email I received. I love her designs, and already have a wish list for my bday.

Oh, and the clothing is NOT just for scrapbook consultant’s. There are dozens of designs for scrapbookers and other arts. I just fell in love with the consultant sections she had.

Wow, I knew I worked with an amazing company, but I did not know just how amazing it is.

First of all, I am so sad about TLC ‘going out of business’ and to all the many consultants who were affected by this, I feel terrible. I cannot imagine what it has to feel like to have this awesome business and then have it just almost belly up in spite of all your efforts individually.

Close to my Heart though, seems to be there for you.

Starting tomorrow, April 15 – April 30, 2008 there is a special promotion for former TLC consultants to sign up with CTMH and get a SERIOUSLY reduced kit (stocked full of some of the most fabulous items!!).

ANY FORMER TLC Consultant who enrolls as a new Close To My Heart Consultant April 15-30 will receive a New Consultant Kit for 50% off! Do you know how much that is? You will receive a normal new consultant kit which is valued at $400 US/$440 CAN and normally is offered at $150 US/ $165 CAN for only $75 US/ $82.50 CAN.
That is simply awesome.

If you are wondering what is included in the new consultant kit: a how-to book, copies of the current issues of both the Idea Book and KeyNotes®, product samples (paper, stamps, inks, etc.), color swatches, and business forms to support Home Gatherings.

The promo code for FORMER TLC consultants only is TLC2008. To learn more about becoming a CTMH consultant you can visit here. OR if you want to sign up for this amazing price of 50% off you can sign up here.

I’d be happy to have you sign up so we can work together!

Let me know if you have any questions!

I have been scrapbooking a LONG time. In that time, I have every single Zig Marker known to man. I am building up my collection of Close to My Heart Exclusive Ink Markers, and have three packs already. That’s all find and dandy but I still need seven more packs to go. So I thought one day about all the Zig Markers I have collecting dust in my scrap area. I decided to sit down and compare the colors and do what others do with different brands and colors from other companies. I would also like to mention that I don’t think I would use the Zig Markers on your stamps. I haven’t tried, and I don’t plan to. Their markers are made differently than ours and I don’t believe the ink might be as easily removed. Here is what I came up with for the most part.
