The New Annual Catalog Approaches, and the Retiring List has been released!

Just like with every great new Seasonal Expressions catalog, we go through the same sadness and we have to say goodbye to some items that we have come to love in the Annual catalogs. 

It is always exciting to make room for the new products that our Home Office has come up with for the next catalogs, but of course we fall so in love with certain items we are always biting nails as we approach the changes....Don't worry though, they have already given us a heads up for what will be retiring with this year's Annual items and we can stock up while the supplies still last!!

Join the Club!

Looking for a great way to get more pages done? Join the Club!! 

 If you are like me, you probably love getting fun kits sent right to your door? Or maybe you live in an area that doesn't have many craft stores left for you?? How about getting FREE STUFF?!

I have finally started up my clubs, a great fun way to get more done in less time!

No long term commitments, you can try it out and cancel anytime as long as you provide your notice to cancel before the 1st of the next month's kits being sent out. Grab your friends and do your own group (up to 12 people in each club) or join an open club and meet some new fellow crafters! You can create your own designs with your kits, or follow the free guide provided by CTMH.

For just $30 a month (includes tax and shipping) you will get the featured Close to my Heart Workshop Your Way kit, mailed straight to you! These come with page layout ideas to make 3 complete 2 page layouts, with an add on option for additional Pocket Plus pages. These great kits even include leftover supplies to create multiples of 3 card designs (some extra supplies needed but not required)!

Each month, a new hostess will be selected to earn the hostess rewards for the group (FREE PRODUCT OF YOUR CHOICE!) The monthly hostess will also receive the current Stamp of the Month from me for FREE!   

One of the great features of the WYW Kits is that they come with easy to follow guides containing full image directions for layouts and cards, including how to cut the pieces out of your paper in a way that will maximize your supplies. The other great thing is you can use any paper you want with them, so you can re-use these guides forever! Feel free to tweak them to match your own personal style, or follow them exactly for a great design without any brain effort on your part! 

To sign up, email me at craftwithsara@gmail.com for the enrollment form
See more details, and Clubhouse Rules on the CLUB page link above! 

May 2017 Featured Club Kit is Little Dreamer

See Below for the contents of the kit and the layouts from the guide!

SEASONAL EXPRESSIONS 2 HAS LAUNCHED!

Finally the new catalog is available to the public! It has been so hard to keep all these wonderful lines a secret for over a month now! I am so excited to share it now with all of you, you are going to LOVE it! 

The first line is the Little Dreamer and boy is it cute! There are unicorns, polka dots, rainbow stripes....oh the things you can create with it! Check out the amazing papers below....!! 

Next, we have the No Worries line, perfect for all those wonderful getaway photos of you on a beautiful beach, or maybe a cruise! Complete with palm trees and beach themes it is sure to bring you right back to that wonderful place you went to on vacation! 

Then....maybe you recently had a fiesta, or have plans to do a real Cinco de Mayo! This next line, Prickly Pear, is sure to tickle your fancy!

Saving the best for last in my opinion....my favorite line is definitely Jack! I was so happy to see a paper dedicated to beards!!! Haha! I have quite a few handsomely bearded men in my life and I am so excited to put them all into a layout together! Then of course the possibilities are truly endless with the camping and outdoors layouts or cards that you could create! I will be buying loads of this line, that much I already know! 

I am so thrilled with what our Close to my Heart family has come up with for this catalog, I can barely contain my excitement over it! The Workshop Your Way kits are a fantastic way to enjoy the lines, with embellishments and more! These kits have free guides that you can use to create the layouts and cards that have been designed for you, and you will even have tons of supplies left over. Or, just use it as a way to get all the great pieces of the line at a much better value than purchasing them separately! 

I can't wait to show you all the wonderful things this catalog has brought to us. Start shopping today, and stay tuned for more! 

Cheers and Happy Crafting everyone!
