Close To My Heart teamed with Cricut to create an exclusive cartridge called Art Philosophy. This is a bundle that includes a cartridge, 3 stamp sets and 3 dimensional elements all for $99.

Our stamp of the month program has changed. You now can buy the stamp of the month for $17.95 or purchase $50 in products and pay $5.

August card class will be using the Brand New Paper Pack Elemental and the New Mini– Medley Accents Pewter. You will go home with 10 completed cards with envelopes for $10.

SCRAPBOOK BASICS
I am beginning a new class called the Scrapbook Basics class. This class teaches the basics of scrapbooking and completes 2 layouts—which is four 12x12 pages.
