Close to my Heart New Products and Programs - released for September 2010

Any release of a new Idea Book is exciting as there are so many new and fun products to play with.  If you weren't able to come to my Open House on Septebmer 3rd I thought you might like a quick run down of the highlights of the new products and programs.  I'll also publish another post telling you about what I have up my sleeve for the next couple of months - lots of fun classes are coming your way!

8 New Colors
Both of the Summer color palettes were re-vamped with LUCIOUS new colors - these colors are ultra rich and best of all, they coordinate with the other color families much better so you can combine color palettes much easier!  I've linked the color names below directly to my online shopping so you can take a peek!
- SKY
- PEAR
- COTTON CANDY
- GYPSY
- LAGOON
- PACIFICA
- SUNSET
- SMOOTHIE

Magic Interactive Scrapbooking How-To Book
This book not only shows you fun interactive layouts, it takes you through the process step-by-step so you can create everything from hidden journaling to fold-out surprises on your scrapbook layouts.  We even carry a new line of Flip-Flaps (up to 6x12") to help you create jaw-dropping interactive fun!  Click here to check this book out!

Workshop Kits
Just when I thought these kits couldn't get any better - they go and make them better!  The new kits have all the same components - one Level 2 paper pack, a full sized embellishment and an exclusive B size stamp set but now the instructions have been simplified and are done picture-tutorial style to help you make your creations faster, easier and simpler!  One side has the 2 page layout and the other side has the 6 card workshop.  Additional projects are shown online.  All that for JUST $29.95 - no additional accessories to buy!  Check out the new kits!
- Hooligans

Studio J Memberships
If you haven't tried out Studio J yet, now is the time to go check this program out!  Unlike the regular digital scrapping that you might be familiar with, Studio J is an online studio where everything is INCLUDED in the membership!  No more nickle-and-dime payments for this paper pack or that layout, this set of embellishments or that font - every single design element is available ONLINE with NO DOWNLOADING so you can literally get caught up on your scrapping during lunch at work, sitting at Starbucks or on a business trip.  Our new Membership Options make it EVEN BETTER - in just 15 layouts your YEAR LONG Membership will PAY FOR ITSELF!  Click here to check out these Membership options!
