Studio J Spotlight ...

I am honored to have been one of the top five consultants in my company to earn the Digital Delights Incentive Contest with Close To My Heart. The grand prize?  For myself, and my artwork, to be showcased on Jeanette Lynton's, the founder of Close To My Heart, blog and the Close To My Heart Facebook page.  What an amazing honor and opportunity!  My gratitude and thanks for my fantastic customers who helped me earn this amazing honor.  I am so blessed to have your support!

Idea Book unveiling!

The wait is finally over...Close To My Heart has just unveiled the new Spring/Summer 2012 Idea Book and it was completely worth the wait!  Bright colors, fun themes, with the perfect mix of elegant, traditional, and whimsical.  Love, love, loving all of the new book.  In my mind, it is completely bubble bath worthy (meaning I could sit for hours in a bubble bath reading and re-reading the pages).

So, most importantly, how do you see the new book?  If you live local, you can pick one up at one of my upcoming events.  If you are not local, the shipping cost is $4 and you will receive a $4.00 coupon to use on your next order of $25 or more.  Or, you can view it on my website at:  www.ctmh.com/tonyasheridan.

Now, I am super excited to share some of my top five favorites with you!

1.  The Exclusive Footloose Workshops on the Go Stamp set!  ADOR-A-BLE!  The Workshops on the GO set is super cute too especially for beach-goers but the stamp set just won my heart!  This stamp set can only be purchased as a part of the Workshop on the Go, which you will love, but honestly, I would pay the full $29.95 just for the stamp set.  The little sea turtle is by far my favorite!  And the little sea horse is stinkin' cute too!  #G1036 Footloose WTG $29.95.

2.  Sweet Surprises Card Kit!  Perfect for sending little surprises to bring on the smiles!  And who wouldn't love to receive a cheerful card filled with candy!  Of course, you could also use little flowers, buttons, embellishments etc. to fill the cup, but in my household, candy is the answer!  Abby is using these for her friend's Valentine's.  I think they would also adorable for Easter cards.    #Z1731 My Originals Sweet Surprises Card Kit $19.95. 

3.  My favorite new paper pack is Florentine!  The colors are similar to one of my previous favorites, Veranda.  The patterns in this pack are very sophisticated looking.  So much flexibility...I am thinking elegant enough for weddings, but would also be perfect for Mother's Day, Easter, or a day to day activity.  X7153B Florentine Level 2 Paper Pack $9.95.  X7153C Florentine My Stickease $4.95.

And the coordinating My Stickease:

4.  Bakers Twine!  Yes, you read that right!  Close To My Heart is up to par with the current trend and has now introduced their very own Baker's Twine!  Perfect for adding detail work!  The only hard decision is which do you order first?  The Color palette (aka Paradise) or the neutrals?  Me personally...the Paradise palette!  Each set comes with 10 yards each of four colors.  Z1701 Bakers Twine Neutral Assortment $4.95.  Z1702 Bakers Twine Paradise Assortment $4.95.

5.  Smoothie Mini Medleys!  And yes, they are a shade of pink!  Those who know me know that I love the color pink!  And Smoothie is one of my favorite CTMH colors. This new Mini Medley collection has it all...ribbon, buttons, slider tags and more cuteness.  Z1697 Smoothie Mini Medleys.  $4.95.

So there you have it: my top 5 favorite new products!  Hopefully, I have intrigued you to check out our new Idea Book and make your own top 5 list!  And once you do, I am always here to help you place an order, or you can order products directly on my website at:  www.ctmh.com/tonyasheridan.

A very Merry Un-birthday to me..

A very merry
Unbirthday to you,
To you, A very merry
Unbirthday to you,
To you,
It's great to
Drink to someone ,
And I guess that
You will do,
A very merry
Unbirthday to you!

So, today must be a very merry unbirthday to me as look what Mr.Fed ex man dropped off at my house!! Yes, my Fall/Winter Idea Books are "in the house" (sorry, couldn't resist that one!). So very excited! He must of thought I was crazy as I rushed out of my house to carry in boxes that weighed a gazillion pounds! So worth the weight & wait though!

So, you might be asking...how can I get one of these exciting books??? You may pick one up at my Fall Open House on Sunday, July 31st from 4-7PM located at the Hill's in Broadway (e-mail me for directions) OR...if you can't hardly wait...and feel that the time is getting late...I will have them at my crop this weekend at the Plains Community Center from 9am-10pm for a $2 donation to FUN FOR EVERYONE - a playground project orchestrated by Katelyn Sonifrank for the Plains Elementary School.

For my distant customers, I will also be happy to send you a book for free mid-next week with any order over $25 or by itself still for free, but you pay a shipping fee of $3.

2011 Retiring List

Here is the retired list for all but stamps. Once that list becomes available, I will add those to these as well. These items are only available until July 31st. For questions, feel free to send me an e-mail.

Introducing...Olivia!

I couldn't wait to post these pictures of one of Close To My Heart's newest collection:

The Olivia Collection! Available September 1, 2010.

Pictures taken by Jennifer Cox.

Exploding with New Colors!!!

You asked and Close To My Heart delivered! Here are the new colors! In the Summer Carnival line, you will note that Hydrangea has been given a face lift to become Gypsy. Holiday Red and Sunny Yellow have stayed true. Pacifica replaces Star Spangled Blue. Sunset replaces Orange. And Topiary has moved from the Summer Celebration family over to the Summer Carnival to replace Clover Meadow. In the Summer Celebration family, Dutch Blue is the only color that is moving forward and there are an array of beautiful colors to the palette! Cotton Candy, Lagoon (LOVE IT), Pear, Sky and Smoothie!!

So much more to share, but I am off to an Extravaganza!!

CTMH announces a new look for the WTG's!

So very excited! Our WTG's have a new look! The exclusive layout designs are so much easier to use with full size colored pictures of the finished layouts/cards, and layered, step-by-step instructions AND PICTURES! You will be amazed...and YES, those are a few new colors that you are seeing in the NEW OLIVIA paper pack! Smoothie, Sunset and Pear! Very Fall! And those little embellishments to the left of the layout...those are metallic embellishments! So, that's what you get for today! More tomorrow!

So, something to ponder...there are three new colors here. Will there be more? What colors do you think might retire??
