HURRY...Time is running out! July 31st is the LAST day to order these items...

Here is the list of CTMH items that will no longer be available after July 31st, 2011. PLEASE pass this retired information along to all of your friends so they won’t MISS OUT on all of these items that are saying goodbye.


Close To My Heart’s 2011 Fall/Winter Idea Book will be coming on August 1st!!! This is an EXCITING time to see LOTS of new items, but with new items – some of our old items need to go. Bittersweet moments!


NOW is the time that you may want to stock up on some items…and remember – the July Special “Bang for your Buck” is STILL happening! When you purchase $50 or more in products from the 2011 Spring/Summer Idea Book, you get to select a My Creations Card kit OR Creative Basics packet for only $1.00!!!


Please contact me with any questions you may have! You may contact me with your order by JULY 31st OR you may order directly from my website.


Have a WONDERFUL weekend!

CTMH is repackaging our Cardstock packs….details below.
• CARDSTOCK: if you love the 24 packs of ONE COLOR, most colors are going, going, gone. Prices will be going up to $14.50 per pack. I highly recommend buying your favorites even though some colors will still be available in packs of 24. So, if you love New England Ivy for Christmas, buy it now. Cranberry & Olive will still be available but at the higher price (and most basics … browns, black … will be available). CTMH’s 60 cardstock colors are NOT changing…it’s just the packaging that’s changing J

I LOVE the new Workshop On the Go kits and was so EXCITED when CTMH created this video yesterday to show us the changes!

This video will give you a sneak peek of one of our newest paper packs called Dreamin'.  It will be in our NEW 2011 Fall/Winter Idea Book  that goes live on AUGUST 1st!!! 

You will also see some images created with CTMH's Cricut Cartridge!!!  I LOVE this cartridge!  With over 700 designs - including a font, tags, boxes, 3D flowers...the list goes ON - you will never lack for that perfect "something" to add to the item you are creating! 

Happy Watching and enjoy the Sneak Peeks!

WELCOME to Krista's Crafty Corner!

Hi to each one of you!  Welcome to my FIRST blog post!!!  I'm so excited to step into this new journey of blogging! :)  This a brand NEW adventure for me, so for those that have been blogging for a long time...any tips you have to share with me would be most welcome!

I am excited to have this location to share with you the many things I am creating as I'm preparing for workshops, gatherings, etc.  As some of you know, I do post artwork items on my Close To My Heart website, but the website was limited as to how much I could post and I longed to tell and show you MORE about what I was creating! 

I look forward to being able to share more often with  you as you join me at Krista's Crafty Corner :)

Have a WONDERFUL day and stay tuned for more posts coming soon!
