Story By Stacy Albums

Close To My Heart

is now offering this adorable 6X6 album

by Stacy Julian.

It is called Story By Stacy!!

These are the cutest and easiest albums.  They come with a guide to help walk you through the setup and journaling, so that when you are done, you have a completed story with pictures and journaling.

Check it out:

The adorable kits come in two different album colors....

Buffalo Plaid (black and white)

or Lagoon.

You can see them both here.

I think this album would make a great fundraiser for school sports teams or clubs as well.

I would love to work with you and see if this might work for your organization too.  Leave a comment if you would like more information.

August Close To My Heart News

As we start into August, I realized there is a lot to share with you this month.  Grab your favorite beverage and settle in to a cozy spot.  Ready?  Ok, let's get started.

Your current catalog says it ends July 31st, but it's not.  It will still be good through August and end the same time as the Seasonal Expression 2 catalog.  Why is this important?  Starting in September, we will no longer have an Annual Catalog with additional Seasonal Expression.  We will have now have the big catalog that comes out tri-annually!  This means 3 times a year you will receive a new big catalog from me.

Our current catalog and Season Expression 2 catalog are while supplies last, so if you want something... don't wait.  It might sell out before the month is over and we won't be getting more in.

You can shop the current catalogs on my website at www.LisaFaris.CTMH.com.  There a so many great things available, you won't want to miss out.

THE AUGUST STAMP OF THE MONTH

Going... Going... Gone...

With the new catalog comes new colors!!!

I can't tell you what those are just yet, but I can tell you what colors
are going away to make room for them. 
If you don't have these ink pads, re-inkers or cardstocks,

you will want to hurry and order them 

before they are gone.  Every year the 

re-inkers sell out and people are sad they 

did not get theirs.

Crystal Blue

Poppy

Tangerine

Blossom

Cranberry

Juniper

Flaxen

Sorbet

Nutmug

and of course the 2017-18 color of the year

Bashful

Another item that is not moving forward

into the new catalog is our

Embossing Folders.

Most of them are on sale right now, so grab the ones you still need 

before they are gone!
