What AMAZING rewards…and GREAT incentives you can receive as you start with Close To My Heart!!! 

The best part – you can earn ANY of these 3 items, even if you didn’t earn the previous one in the specified time. So if you missed the 1^st level, you still have a chance to earn levels 2 & 3 J  YAY!!!!   

However  (a BIG however J ) -  if you DO earn all 3 levels of STTT in the specified timeframe, you will ALSO EARN this BONUS gift…

I can HARDLY stay seated as I write J….I’m SO EXCITED for this OPPORTUNITY for YOU and the WONDERFUL timing it is, just in time for the holidays!! 

I never IMAGINED myself staying with CTMH for the 9 years I’ve already been here…and now I can’t imagine leaving! J  What I treasure most is the many FRIENDSHIPS I’ve made through consultants and customers….it’s hard to think about these people, not being a part of my life.  I’m SO THANKFUL to Jesus for the gift of craftsmanship that he’s given me.  May I continue to remember that it’s by HIS GRACE that I have achieved all the “extras” that came as part of my CTMH journey. J

Personally, I started out as a CTMH hobbyist (to get my goodies at a discount because I LOVED CTMH products), and it has now become more than I ever dreamed!!!

 I know at any time I CAN choose to step back, and take a breather….or I can choose to dig in a little deeper & see what else CTMH has in store for me–the JOYS of having a home business.  J

I WELCOME you to join me in this journey J ….with CTMH being a debt free company; we have no worries of being cast aside!  The CTMH team is TRULY a family and I am thankful & grateful for all that they have brought into my life.

Wahoo! My Hawaiian Goodies Arrived!

Don't forget to check out the RETIRING list from an Earlier post! These items will be GONE after Jan 31st!!!

CLICK HERE to see these items!

(and check out the NEW items added to the “While Supplies Last” section of my website! There are some GREAT deals!)

Oh – I’m soooo EXCITED!!!  I received my Goodie Box from Close To My Heart as part of earning the Hawaiian Cruise!!! 

Here is a picture of what I received…

Isn’t this GREAT?!?!  J We fly out on March 2nd for Hawaii…and I LOVE the suspense and excitement that CTMH gives us by sending this box to us BEFORE the trip! 

This is just another perk you receive when you earn a trip with Close To My Heart.  I am amazed at all the “little things” that this WONDERFUL company does for their consultants! 

I received a similar box when I had earned the New Zealand trip two years ago…this box is packed FULL of goodies! J

One of the special things that CTMH does….they create and design scrapbook layouts for each trip and mail it to us PRIOR to the trip!  (that way we can coordinate our clothes with the layouts if we’d like! LOL!!)  Then, the art team at CTMH cuts ALL all the pieces for the layouts and places them in separate bags.  They come shipped to us, pre-bagged and pre-cut ready for us to CREATE!!!  They also include all the embellishments we’ll need on the layouts too!!!  I received a LOT of new embellishments that will be available for purchase on Feb 1st from the NEW 2012 Spring Idea Book!!!

I also was VERY EXCITED to find something NEW in our box…Close To My Heart also included a Studio J 5 pack gift card!!!!  That means I can create 5, 2 page layouts when I get back from the Hawaiian Cruise!!!  The best part – EVERYTHING coordinates together!!!!  Yayy!!!! I LOVE how we can use both our on-line scrapbooking AND the traditional layouts in one album!!!! 

Here are the items I received. J

• A 12x12 Album
• an EXCLUSIVE Hawaii stamp set, made specifically for this trip!
• a beautiful sweet leaf (my favorite green) Hawaiian Cruise shirt
• Kick Back – new stamp set from the Spring 2012 Idea Book
• Baker’s Twine
• Seaside Wooden Shapes
• Paradise Paper Flowers
• Wooden Buttons

You will be able to see all these items and MORE in person next week on Feb 2nd and Feb 3rd at my home! Remember to check out my previous post about my upcoming Spring Open House!!!! CLICK HERE for details regarding the Open House! J








If you’d like to learn more about how YOU could join me on the next CTMH trip for two, J  please let me know!  I never thought I’d earn TRIPS when I joined Close To My Heart.  I signed up to get my discount on products I love…well, I have been very blessed and it has become so much more than that!  It is TRULY a dream come true to be able to have my husband and I go to New Zealand and now Hawaii – all paid by Close To My Heart!!!

I’d love to share with you and help YOU plan how you can join me on the Southern Caribbean cruise that will sail in Feb 2013!!! 

Have a wonderful weekend and please come back to my blog to see a lot of UPCOMING artwork!!! 

Check back Monday for a peek of some items I created with Footloose (a NEW paper pack!).  Then you’ll want to check in again for the Stamp of the Month Blog hop on Feb 1st – showcasing the Feb 2012 Stamp of the Month – Thoughtful Tidings.

Have a wonderful weekend and may you get a chance to create this weekend! J

Blessings,

How can YOU receive $400 in CTMH products for just $99???

So -  are you CURIOUS about my post from yesterday? 

Would you like to learn how YOU can get GREAT Products at a Discount?  

Well, Close To My Heart has an AMAZING offer for you during the month of October where you can receive up to $400* in products for just $99!!!!

Here are the DETAILS…
Join my TEAM in October and get an ADD-On kit for FREE!!!
Pay just $99 for consultant kit and get an ADD-ON kit (retail up to $130) for FREE!!!  Add-on collections are priced at $40 each and have a retail value of up to $130, making this an incredible deal!                                               * Plus tax and shipping. Value depends on which add on options you choose.

The "BASIC" kit for $99

Here are you choices of an add-on kit!!!  You may choose ONE extra kit to go along with your $99 kit during the month of Ocotber!!!  A RETAIL VALUE of up to $130 for FREE!!!!

This SPECIAL is a FABULOUS DEAL and if you are thinking “Being a consultant is not for me…”  I would like you to put that thought aside as you look at the list below!   Being a consultant does not necessarily mean that you have to go out of the home and have home shows!! 

Look at the list below and choose what being a Close To My Heart consultant would mean for YOU!

As a Consultant, you get to choose what you would like to do with your business.
Here are a few ideas...
Be a Business Builder – Work with customers to hold home gatherings, create clubs, have fun at weekend crops and host workshops. Make additional income to contribute to your family.

Be a Studio J Consultant – You have fallen in LOVE with digital or online scrapbooking. The ease and timeliness of creating these Studio J layouts works with your lifestyle. Between you and your friends & family, you are creating about 10 layouts per month at a 22% discount.

Be a Club Coordinator – You have a group of friends that love Close to My Heart as much as you do. Get 4 or more of them together once a month to create one of CTMH's Workshop on the Go and get at least a 22% discount on your purchases.

Be a Personal Use Consultant – You and a couple of your friends really like CTMH's products. You submit $300 or more in orders per quarter and get a minimum of 22% discount on all your purchases.

Be a Junior Consultant – You like CTMH's products and can't resist getting more than $350 for only $99 by getting the consultant kit. Everyone signs up as a full Consultant and if after one full quarter, you do not have $300 in retail sales, you will become a Junior Consultant. As a junior consultant you will get 10% off of your items. Juniors will need to purchase $100 each quarter to continue receiving the benefits of a 10% commission. Juniors will bump back up to full status once they have $300 in sales in any given quarter!

I’m sure you have some more questions regarding Being a Consultant – and I want to answer them for you!

  Fellow Consultant Lisa Stenz (check out her blog HERE…she does AMAZING artwork!) created a list of questions and answers that I know  you will find helpful!  I’ve adapted them for my team and found this list of questions very informative!!!

After you read this list, if you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to get in contact me! 

I work with EACH person on my team to help them achieve the goals that THEY have!!  If you are a Personal Use Consultant – GREAT!!  If you’d like to make this a BUSINESS – GREAT!!!  I’m here to help YOU in what ever way YOU need!!! You decide how you would like CTMH to be a part of you and your family’s life!

If you'd like to know

“Why should I sign up to become a CTMH Consultant”,

hopefully this post will clarify some of your questions.

1. How much does the New Consultant Kit cost?The regular price is $99 (plus tax and shipping).
2. What comes in the New Consultant Kit?You get a ton of great products valued at over $280 and the option to choose different Add-On kits that you can see here. Plus if you sign up in October 2011, you get to choose one of the Add-On Options for FREE! (That's a value of over $400 depending on which option you choose!)
3. What’s the catch? Other than getting a ton of wonderful products at a great deal and most likely getting addicted to them, (I’m just warning you- hee, hee)there is no catch. You have the opportunity to build a business if you choose, but you don’t have to.
4. What if I don’t want to build a business and I just want to get the discount for myself on future orders? That’s great! A majority of Consultants are Hobbyists or Personal Use Consultants and do not do parties or hold classes or workshops. You are welcome to simply enjoy the discount on your own orders.
5. What is the discount?Active Consultants enjoy a discount of 22%-35% depending on their sales for the month in addition to earning up to $75 in FREE product credit each month. Senior Directors and above also earn an additional 5% - 15% of personal override commission ON TOP of the regular commission and free product credit! Your earning potential is unlimited!
6. What are the sales requirements?The sales requirement is $300 retail (before your discount) to stay a full Consultant.
7. What if I don’t place $300 in a quarter or place any orders at all?Once you sign up, you have a full quarter to make your sales minimum which means that you have until the end of March to enjoy the full discount if you choose. Then if you do not have $300 in orders, you will drop to Junior Consultant status on April 1st. As a Junior Consultant your discount drops to 10% but you only need to have $100 in orders per quarter. If you do not have $100 in that quarter, you simply drop and are no longer a Consultant. But if you happen to have $300 as a Junior, you automatically jump back up to full status!
8. How long will I be a Consultant if I order the kit and then do nothing?You will be active until March 31st. Then you will drop to Junior on April 1st . Then as of July 1st, you will no longer be considered a Consultant. But our new catalog comes out in August (July for Consultants) and you may just be surprised at all of the great new products and will probably be VERY excited that you are a Consultant and are able to order the new products at a discount. So chances are you will not drop! LOL!
9. Do I need to give the Kit back if I drop?Nope. Everything is yours to keep! No strings attached.
10. Are you required to maintain an inventory?Nope. There are so many different products that CTMH actually suggests that you do not maintain an inventory. You can place an order for 1 item or 1000 items, so there is really no need to keep an inventory.
11. Does the company offer Hostess gifts? If so, who pays for them?Yes! CTMH pays for the hostess rewards. And as a Consultant, you are welcome to be your own Hostess and earn more free goodies!
12. Does CTMH offer any training or events?Ummm....a great big YES!!!! There are so many different training options available including an entire Online Training Academy where you can take free online creative, business, and personal development classes. You can even earn your CTMH Bachelors, Masters, and PhD degrees!(got to love this!)  There is an entire listening library of recorded conference calls, bulletin boards for artwork, business, templates, Studio J, Swaps, Mentoring, and more. They have pre-designed projects and workshops for us to use. There are annual events such as Leadershare and Convention – you WON’T want to miss it!  There is even an 800# that you can call if you have questions. And a ton more! You will never be without help.
13. How do you sign up?You can sign up at my website HERE. It will only take you about 5 minutes. The hardest part will be choosing which Add-Ons you want with your kit! But not to fear. You can always choose them all at only $40 each. But remember, you get to choose one for FREE if you sign up in October.
14. How long will it take to receive my kit?They have been shipping them out very quickly. CTMH gets them out of the warehouse 1-2 days after you sign up and then it will depend on where you live how fast it will ship to you. 
15. Can I contact you if I have questions after I sign up?Of course!!! I’m here to help YOU!!  I am available to my team via phone, email and Facebook. I am more than happy to help you get started building a business, or just encourage you if you would simply like to be a Personal Use Consultant .

Whatever your reason for signing up, there really is no risk! You have nothing to lose! Plus with the free Add-On Option this month, this is the best time to do it!

Feel free to contact me  if you have any other questions. I’d be more than happy to chat with you. Or if you are ready to sign up now, you can find the online application HERE.
I would LOVE to have you join me team!  I look forward to talking with you!! :)
