Close To My Heart's Retiring List!!

The Close To My Heart Retiring List has been announced!! 

With the release of each new Idea Book, we introduce some new products and retire others.

It is always bittersweet to see products that I love be added to the list, but I know Corporate is just making room for TONS of FUN new goodies!!  

The Spring/Summer 2014 Idea Book will be jam-packed with them, and you can get your hands on them beginning February 1st.

Join my team now...and you can get them in January!! 

Be sure to check out the RETIRING LIST to see all retiring items and grab your favorites while you can as once an item is placed on the retiring list, it is available on a while-supplies-last basis. 

As ever, stamp sets continue to have a minimum one year life cycle—so any new stamp introduced in the Autumn/Winter Idea Book will continue to be orderable throughout the Spring/Summer 2014 Idea Book period, even if it isn’t shown in the printed catalog. 

All live stamp sets are always shown in the “Shop” area of my Online Business Address.

PICTURE YOUR LIFE with CLOSE TO MY HEART!!

Close To My Heart has an incredible recruiting opportunity for you with a unique Constant Campaign, and product sneak-peek all rolled into one huge offer!!

From November 1 to December 15, new Consultants who enroll with either the Essentials or Master New Consultant Kit may also receive a brand-new exciting product from the Spring/Summer 2014 Idea Book. 

To be eligible for the free product, you must remit $300 in commissionable personal sales by March 31, 2014.

What's the new product you ask?!?!

It's the gorgeous new Picture My Life™ scrapbooking program. 

It's a retail value of $24.95 but it’s FREE to qualifying new Consultants!!

Love documenting memories in minutes? 

Then you’ll love the new Picture My Life™ scrapbooking program, meant for quick and beautiful memory-keeping. 

This program comes in eight themes, all based on the gorgeous designs of some of our most popular paper packets. 

Whether you choose to embrace a single theme or mix and match for a truly unique look, you’ll love the ease, affordability, and beauty of the Picture My Life programs. 

Your own photos are all you need to add to make astounding artwork—in no time at all!!

Each program has a theme, from childhood to friendship to travel, but because we have ensured sufficient variety in design and style of each you can easily apply the cards to other themes. 

Say you love the palette and designs of the Babycakes program but wish to apply a “family” theme—go ahead!! 

It’s one of the unique differentiators and possibilities of the program!! 

With a large quantity of product in each program you will be able to craft creative arrangements all your own. 

Each program includes 122 double-sided cards plus 10 unique Memory Protectors™ to capture life as it happens, and their versatility and gorgeous designs will transform your albums into masterpieces. 

On one side of each card is space for journaling, and on the other you’ll find artistic sentiments and icons. 

Each program is designed to accommodate approximately 100 photos in your included Memory Protectors, so with a balance of photos and cards, you’ll finish with about 20 remaining cards. 

That means you have plenty of choice and flexibility in which cards you choose to include, making it uniquely yours!! 

Of course, you can easily use more or fewer photos in your project to suit your story’s needs.

Unique to Picture My Life is the included 12" × 12" double-sided cover page with each individual program, using a beautiful My Reflections™ pattern. 

True to Close To My Heart standards, the cover page offers a finished and cohesive look to your project with its featured high-quality design. 

The Picture My Life program is so versatile that you’ll find dozens of other ways to incorporate it into your papercrafting. 

Use the cards to expand other projects you’ve started!!

For example, if you just got back from the trip of a lifetime and wonder how you will capture all the details, mix the Picture My Life cards with your photos to extend your scrapbook pages. 

Choose your very favorite photos to scrapbook on 12" × 12" two-page layouts then use coordinating Picture My Life cards and your remaining photos to document the rest of your trip in minutes.

This program is yet another new, fresh addition and option for memory keepers to preserve your memories.

The cards enhance the scrapbooking experience—making it even more fun—and they work brilliantly in mini albums, My Crush™ books, as journaling cards on your 12" × 12" classic scrapbook pages, or as gift cards and tags. 

CONSIDER IT:
When you order the Consultant Kit and qualify for the offer, you will receive more than $180 in products and supplies, plus commission on your sales, all for just $49!!

Add to that the perks of Straight To The Top, and a new Idea Book coming soon, and you have an incredible opportunity to grow your very own team very rapidly as well!!

You are not in this alone!!  

Our From the Heart Embellishers Team is a very tight group who loves to have fun and help each other out!! 

There is a TON of experience, knowledge and laughter shared.  

The staff at Corporate is also AWESOME and has TONS of training videos helping to make you successful from the start!!
