Sneak Peek!

Coming up in December, the NEW Everyday Life Planner System!!

Everyday Life™ Planner System 
We are thrilled with the buzz surrounding the upcoming Everyday Life™ planner system that we announced at our Australasia Convention earlier this month. The Everyday Life line introduces multiple products that work together seamlessly to create a planner, a My Crush book, or a product of your own creation!

It all starts with the Everyday Life album ($10.95 USD/$13.25 CAD), a beautiful, black three-ring album with gold foil design that measures 9 3/8” x 8 ¼”. This album size makes the album multi-purpose, allowing you to decide what you put in it. To fill up your album, the Everyday Life line will also include:

• The Everyday Life 2016 planner pages ($15.95 USD/$18.95 CAD): 154 planner pages, 12 monthly dividers with tabs, a pocket folder page, a designed page finder, and four sheets of stickers. With monthly and weekly spreads and printed dates, these pages have all the features you need to stay organized—and look good doing it!
• Everyday Life Perfect Plan roller stamp ($8.95 USD/$10.50 CAD): This fun and functional roller stamp coordinates perfectly with the label stickers, enabling you to customize your planner even further.
• My Crush® Everyday Life pages ($7.95 USD/$9.50 CAD): A set of 60 double-sided, gorgeous My Crush pages. These pages can be used on their own to create a beautiful My Crush book, or they can be combined with the planner pages to give you more room in your planner for preserving your memories while giving your planner even more flair.
• Everyday Life Washi Tape ($3.95 USD/$4.50 CAD): because every My Crush book needs a good washi for attaching photos and other memorabilia to your pages.
• Memory Protectors ($6.95 USD/$7.95 CAD): we’re introducing two new styles of pocket memory protectors sized to fit into the Everyday Life album. One will have two 4” x 6” pockets, the other four 4” x 3” pockets. Use these to add your favorite Picture My Life™ cards and photos into the mix!

Altogether, the Everyday Life line gives you ultimate flexibility in creating a planner/My Crush book/pocket album uniquely customized to you. Best of all, since we know that the time to buy planners is now, we will not be waiting until the release of Seasonal Expressions 1 to make these products available to you and your customers; instead, we’ll be making them available as soon as we have them. We anticipate most of these items to be available late November, with the exception of the washi tape, which will be available mid-December.

To add even more excitement, we’ll also be offering a discounted bundle for purchasing the album, planner pages, and roller stamp together. This bundle will have its own item number and will give you and your customers these innovative and exciting products for just $29.95 USD/$35.95 CAD—a 15% discount off the retail value!

End of August! Big things coming for September

I've been out of the blogging office for the summer due to my son breaking his leg.  I have worked on some cards and decorative items when I had some free time.

August with Close To My Heart has been fun!  There is new paper, embellishments, stamps and the big lead up to the new catalog/idea book next month :-)

The stamp of the month for August is Framed S1508.  

Recommended Blocks:

2" × 3 1/2" (Y1009)

For the card below, I used the Framed stamp set plus Picture My Life cards, color ready ribbon and green enamel & glitter duos.

For this card I used the new CTMH Artistry Cricut cartridge, the Framed stamp set, glitter paper and our NEW Zoe paper pack along with more green glitter triangles.
