New Items to come and a List of Retireing CTMH Product

 Convention has come and gone, it was last week in Anaheim, CA at the Disneyland Hotel!  Yes, look what we missed!  No, I did not get to go, we are in the process of moving into our new house!  The AF has moved us again, from VA to OK!  Yeah!  We are so excited to be back in OK.  

The good of OK, first:  my parents live in the same town we do, less than a mile away.  My sister and niece will be here for a year also (her husband is deployed).  I already know my way around and have friends still from high school.  It is a small town and no traffic.  To get from north of town to south of town = 15 minutes, to get from east of town to west of town = 15 minutes.  There are 3 Sonics in town, a few dozen restaurants, the best shoe store (my dad owns it, Brown's Shoe Fit, Co.), and I have free babysitting for the next 3 years.  Hobby Lobby - oh how I love thee!  Plus, my dear husband gets to do what he loves most, be in the air flying, again.  

Oh yeah, I am the only CTMH consultant in town (I think.)

The bad - no Target, no mall (you can't call the mall here a mall, with only about a dozen stores), the commissary is so small that you can blink and not realize you have been through the whole thing!  

I am truly going to love it here, my house might be 2000 sq. ft. smaller than the last one, but we will be saving so much money on utilities, once the temperatures get back into the 90's.  Yes, I said 90's.  We have been in triple digits for the majority of the last month!  YIKES!!!  

So, with all of that said:  Close To My Heart made a HUGE announcement at convention, drum roll please.................

The all new:

Cricut Art Philosophy Collection

Z1686
the collection includes:
1 - Cartridge (700 images: font, shapes, and 3-D items 
3 - My Acrylix D-size Stamp sets
3 - 9x12 Dimensional Elements ()3 sheets of different shapes)

All this for just $99.00




Also, in the new Idea Book available August 1 - contact me today to receive yours - etstong@yahoo.com
There are 8 new paper kits:
Typeset: desert sand, juniper, black and creme brulee (looks like tulip, too)
Roxie: black, smoothie, desert sand, and tulip (there is a zebra paper in this pack)  LOVE IT!!
Elemental: desert sand, olive, pacifica, sorbet
Dreamin': bamboo, goldrush, chocolate, pacifica
Sonoma: bamboo, smokey plum, cocoa, olive
Mischief: barn red, black, desert sand, sunset
Believe: holiday red, topiary, sky, sweet leaf
Wonderland: chocolate, crystal blue, grey flannel, twilight

There are 33 new My Acrylix stamp sets all with new lower pricing - plus the 6 new stamps of the month, again, with new lower pricing!  There is fun gorgeous artwork with each stamp set, which of course makes me want to buy them all and make the artwork!  :-)  2 new alphabet fonts!

Oh, and the new embellishments!  Love them ALL!

So with all of that being said, CTMH has to say goodbye to some of our favorite products and here is a list of what is being retired, August 1!  Buy, before it is too late!!!

buy it on my website:  www.elissa.myctmh.com
