 4)  Price Increases:

In a little over 3 weeks, the current core catalog expires.  In general, the new core catalog coming August 1st shows price increases amounting to about an 11% increase overall.  So if there are any items you have delayed purchasing, now may be the best time.  Even those continuing to the new catalog will have prices increases -- for example:

Core product lines such as stamp sets, paper packets, cardstock and stamp pads have an average price increase of $1 USD.  Other categories have increases of $2 USD and albums $7 USD.  The largest price increase is our die-cutting and embossing machine which will go up $30 USD, due to the increases in materials and shipping costs.  Standard shipping will be increased from $7.95 or 7.95% to $8.95 or 8.95%.

That's all the news this week.  Stay tuned -- next week I will reveal the upcoming new CTMH colors.
