All Good Things Must Come to an End

With each new Idea Book I have received since joining Close To My Heart back in 2006, I always thought "There is NO Way they can top this!"  Yet every issue seemed to out do and blow away the last.  Now Close To My Heart is 'Blowin' it out of the Water" once again!   First, they have this AWESOME Autumn/Winter Idea coming out (Available Sept 1), and then they announce a NEW Idea Book cycle for 2011.  Beginning in February, Close To My Heart will adjust the Idea Book cycle to 6 months each.  How can this be better you say?   Well, for starters, they are going from 112 pages to 132 pages!  Do you know what that means?  More products and more artwork!  To make room for all the new product, it is necessary to retire many things.   Retiring product is nothing new for CTMH.  But retiring almost EVERY paper packet is!  Even one of my most recent favs - Cherry-O!    Although many favorites are not hanging around as long as we are used to, there will be an abundance of new papers coming.   Again we'll be filled with excitement with each new line, not giving thought to those papers of old.  

If you think there are going to be some things you'll dearly miss, check out this Retirement List posted here.  Stock up on those things you love.  Get those stamps you've had on your wish list before they are gone!     And here is a BIG HINT for you.....  JUST about every stickease and paper pack (Level 1 and Level 2)  are going to be offered at HUGE discounts next week on my website!   Watch here for more details!!!  Something to the tune of 2,4,6  :)   This discount will be available for only 8 days (or while supplies last) and then it is back to regular price!

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
