Just a quick bit of news today:

1. Workshop Wow: Four Seasons Special
 
Close To My Heart is closing out 2022 with a bang with the Workshop Wow: Four Seasons special! This special includes a whopping eight workshop kits, one scrapbooking workshop and one cardmaking workshop for each of our Four Seasons paper collections from the 2022–2023 Core Products catalog! Each of these workshop kits are available in two purchasing options—one with the featured stamps and Thin Cuts, and one without.

This incredible crafting “workshopportunity” is guaranteed to be a favorite for the memory keepers or cardmakers in your life, and could really help you out with your Christmas gifting this year!

The Workshop Wow: Four Seasons special will be available to customers beginning December 15.  There is no Maker preview, so I do not have any other details at this time but I am excited to see what CTMH has done with these wonderful sets of products. 

2. These Are the Days Special Reminder

As a reminder, the Cut Above® layout and calendar kits available through the These Are the Days special are only available, while supplies last, through December 31! Because the These Are the Days kits are created using the Cut Above® format, it’s a simple matter to create all 13 of the included pages in a single sitting! Ideal for both traditional memory keepers and those who may want to think outside the scrapbooking box, These Are the Days allows crafters to easily capture a year’s worth of momentous occasions and everyday moments.

These Are the Days kits will be available through December 31, while supplies last.

3. Update for Story by Stacy™ Story Deck

CTMH wants to make you aware of a correction for our Story by Stacy™ Story Deck cards. One prompt card was printed with the incorrect prompts listed on it. For now, we have made this product (Z9931) unavailable on our website to avoid further orders as we work to correct it. We are in the process of reprinting the card in question and will correct all the decks we currently have in stock. We will also send a corrected card to each customer who has already purchased this product; these replacement cards will be sent to the same address on their original order.

 4. Cherish Papers Reordered

We have ordered more of the Cherish paper packet, and we expect to be able to make the Cherish Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet (X7287S), Cherish Paper Packet (X7287B), Cherish Scrapbooking Workshop Kit (without Memory Protectors™) (G1267NP), and Cherish Scrapbooking Workshop (G1267) available again on December 9 at 3:00 pm (MST).
 
We will not be placing more orders for this collection, so if we sell through this additional order quantity these items will be made permanently unavailable.

5. Register for February Album Retreat

As you near the end of 2022 and start making plans for 2023, give yourself something extra to look forward to with our travel-themed February Album Retreat on February 1–3! Every single page in this unique album includes an interactive element, making it a truly one-of-a-kind creation!
 
Album Retreat Bundles are now available for ordering. To participate, simply purchase the album bundle (EB20231)—there is no separate registration fee! Bundles will be available to order through January 10, while supplies last. We will ship all ordered bundles shortly after this date. Note that if you order your Album Retreat bundle with other items, a separate, fixed shipping cost will apply to each bundle purchase, and they will be shipped separately from the rest of the items on your order.
