 The last Flash of 2022:

1. Boxing Week Sale Close out the year with some amazing savings from the ongoing Close To My Heart Boxing Week sale! This sale began on December 26 and only lasts for a few more days! The Boxing Week sale offers incredible deals each day through December 31 and will feature discounts up to 25% on all products included in the 2022–2023 Core Products catalog for the duration of the sale. New offers on other selected crafting items will be posted daily at 12:00 am (MST) and expiring at 11:59 pm (MST) the same day, with discounts up to 50%!   Sale prices are only available on orders placed through my Maker website during Boxing week. All discounted items ordered as part of the sales are commissionable and count toward earning VIP Credit and the Stamp of the Month at the discounted price. Shipping and handling will be based on the full retail value of sale items, and any items purchased using CTMH Cash, VIP Credit, or Rewards Your Way 50%-off items will be redeemed at the full retail price.    To see which items will be discounted during the sales, visit the promotions page on my Maker website at any time during the sale. There is no grace period for placing orders, so be sure to place your orders before the sale ends!

2. 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.    We can’t wait to connect with you at this awesome event!

3. It's the Little Things Special Reminder The new It’s the Little Things special will be available beginning January 1! The heart of this special is a 6" x 6" mix-in style paper packet, perfect for 12" x 12" scrapbooking, mini album memory keeping, and cardmaking!    Along with this unique selection of papers, the It’s the Little Things special includes its own cardmaking, scrapbooking, and mini album stamp sets, die-cuts, embellishments, and three exclusive workshop kits—one each for cardmaking, scrapbooking, and a mini album!

4. Year of the Rabbit Special Reminder Celebrate the Year of the Rabbit in 2023 with our exclusive Year of the Rabbit stamp set (A1298)! This commemorative stamp set was designed to celebrate the Chinese Zodiac Calendar and is a great addition to scrapbook layouts and cards alike!    This stamp set will be available beginning January 1.  In addition to the Year of the Rabbit stamp set, we will continue to offer our 2022 Year of the Tiger stamp set throughout 2023!

5. New Start with Heart Program Beginning January 1, 2023, we will be debuting a brand-new Start with Heart program! The exciting updates to this new Maker program will make it easier to achieve long-term success and allow Start with Heart rewards to be more customizable, based on new Makers’ needs and crafting wish lists!    For new Makers, the revamped Start with Heart program is structured around point-based achievements along a three-month timeline. Points can be earned in a variety of ways, and Makers who achieve their point benchmarks within the allotted time of three months will receive $200 in CTMH Cash to use however they please!    The new Start with Heart program will launch on January 1, 2023, so if you have ever thought about becoming a CTMH Maker -- consider doing it in 2023!

6. Item Availability Update Due to the ongoing Boxing Day sale, a few products from our current Core Products catalog have sold out and are unavailable. While most of these items will be restocked, others were available only while supplies last. Please contact me if you need to know which particular products are sold out and which ones will be restocked.   CTMH is running low on some items that are part of our Workshop Wow: Four Seasons special workshop kits. If these items go out of stock, these workshop kits will no longer be available, since the special will have concluded before we are able to get more inventory of the affected items.

7. Holiday Home Office Closures The Home Office will be closed on Friday, December 30, and Monday, January 2, for the New Year’s holidays. Home Office phone support will not be available on these days and shipping will be closed.
