July Stampganza!

     I just want to start off by apologizing for not getting back on here earlier. It's been a hectic few months, but I'm on summer holidays now & ready to keep everyone updated with everything that is going on!

     Where to begin?? July is the start of summer holidays for kids & anyone that works in an educational setting. Let the beautiful weather begin! So many wonderful picture worthy moments! Speaking of......have you heard of Story Starter workbooks by Stacy Julian? 
     We tend to believe that the story of a memorable experience is shared only in the photos we took. We generally start with the photos & then add some journaling. The Story Starter workbook invites the user to start with interesting details about a specific topic & then add photos as illustrations.  It's easier to find or even take photos that illustrate our words when we begin with sensory memories about our subject and organize memories into small stories.The Story Starter workshop kit is designed to help uncover priceless memories, become a stronger storyteller, better able to honor the people, places, and things that matter most to you.

Bring On 2018!

Well, another year has come and gone. As I look back over the past year, I realized I was very fortunate. I was able to go to my very first Convention with Close To My Heart in Salt Lake City and even was able to step inside Home Office! To actually walk through the offices of our Founder & CEO, Jeanette Lynton and see where she had her meetings! To meet some of the people that are right at the top and meet other fellow consultants that you only knew the name was amazing!

And the amazement has not stopped! To kick off this new year, CTMH is celebrating National Papercrafting Month with beautifully crafted monograms called Love Letters! Each kit comes with everything you need. Whether you want one letter, initials, or an entire word, we've got you covered!

         Click the link to learn how you can get this kit for free!

We also have a Stamp of the Month. Each month, CTMH highlights a stamp that is only available for that month. You can purchase it for only $6.00 CAD when you have a $50.00 order. January's SOTM is called Bloom & Grow-can you guess what the stamps may be about?

Autumn is upon us....

Autumn is upon us...

Fall is that time of year where we clean up our yards, do some fall cleaning indoors and start preparing for winter while being thankful for what we have. Holidays are just around the corner, one after the other, and we take many pictures to help us remember the special moments with loved ones.

The Falling For You paper pack is a perfect pack for preserving those Thanksgiving or fall memories.








Wanting to snap a picture of your child/children or those that come to your door on Halloween night? Our Cats and Bats paper will help you display them! BOO!

October is also having a special-but only for October!. It is our Share a Smile campaign. CTMH works closely with Operation Smile in helping children receive the surgery needed for cleft palates.

There are a few ways you can help out and donate....
Purchase a Share a Smile kit during the month of October. The kit coordinates with the Puny Pals stamp set.
Purchase the Puny Pals stamp set (located at the back of the annual catalog). $7 US from every stamp sold goes towards Operation Smile.
Round up! When you complete your order, you have the option to round up your total.
