September FREE CCR File with any purchase! You are my Happy Card Set and Gift Bag

I recently began a new program to thank my customers and hostess club members.  Each month anyone who orders through me at www.Paige.CTMH.com will receive an exclusive CCR file (Cricut Craft Room's free program) to cut a project that uses one or more of our Cricut Cartridges.  My exclusive files are a way to thank my customers for their loyalty and give you ways to use the product you purchase through me.

My Hostess Club members get the added benefit of access to my Hostess Club CCR drive which houses all the monthly files plus extra files I've uploaded for sharing.  As time goes on, this Hostess Club area will be a content rich repository of instant access projects.  Its all part of my devious plan to make being a club member so worth while that people never want to stop!  If you are interested in joining a club, send me a note to Paige@Stampologist.com and I'll send you more information.

This month CTMH has an incredible special for September's National Stamp Month - you can get 3 sets of D size stamps for just $10 with a $50 purchase, I'll show you these cuties in a minute. What better way to celebrate this special and make sure you can make a project the INSTANT you get these stamps in your hot little hands than to create a free file using these sets?

All of the cuts you see on the projects below are made on the Cricut using Art Philosophy and Artiste.  I even give you color suggestions for each of the layers and you just feed paper into the machine and stamp!

And here are the 3 sets you can get for just $10 with a $50 order - PLUS you can get the September Stamp of the Month for just $5 - getting an extra 4 D size stamps with your order of $50!

Stay crafty my friends,

Honeycomb card for Heart2Heart Color Challenge

This week Heart2Heart Challenges is hosting a color combination challenge of Cashmere, Sunset, Barn Red and Gypsy.  At first I wasn't sure how these colors would combine but once I played with them I fell in LOVE with the combination!  It had such a fun vintage vibe going on I thought it would be perfect for a card with a quilt feel to it - something warm and snuggly like a hug that I can send to a friend who had a rough week.

I have a confession to make.  When the Honeycomb stamp set came out last year I didn't get it even though I really liked it.  Why?  Because I didn't want to have to hand cut all those beautiful hexagons.  I know, I know, I'm totally spoiled by my Cricut now aren't I?  BUT when Artbooking was previewed for consultants, a friend shared with me that you can cut the honeycomb overlay at 11" and it will create spaces that perfectly fit this set.  Even better?  All the negatives that are left on the mat are sized to stamp on with the set and pop dot them up.  Can you say FABULOUS!  So, I had to order this set this month so I could play!

The heart and banner shape are from the new Laughing Lola Card Workshop kit.  I knew that set would become a favorite for me to make cards!

I hope you'll join us at Heart2Heart Challenges this week and combine Cashmere, Sunset, Barn Red and Gyspy into a project that speaks to you!

FREE CCR File offer! Artbooking You are my Sunshine Home Decor for Heart2Heart Challenges

As part of my efforts to bring the best customer service and support to all who order through me and support my business, each month I will be offering a FREE CCR file exclusive to those who place an order with me that month!  This cutie-patootie 12x12 frameable home decor file will be sent by e-mail to all those who order through me in the month of August!  Simply place ANY size order through me or directly on my website at www.Paige.CTMH.com and I'll e-mail this file as a thank you for your patronage!

This week's "Song in your Heart" challenge at Heart2Heart Challenges had me stumped for a bit until I started flipping through Artbooking and the sunburst overlay popped out at me. You are my Sunshine has always been a bit of a family song for us so this one came together for me in a burst of sudden creativity (maybe a looming deadline played a part in it as well - LOL!).

Here it is framed and ready to put in my front room.  I love using these 12x12 shadow frames from craft stores for single page home decor layouts.  Its so much fun creating a seasonal picture to display for a month or two.  After you are done, simply put it in a page protector and store it in one of our Work in Progress 3 Ring Binders for the next time that holiday/seaon rolls around!

Here are a few detail shots.  The little wooden hear is from our Wooden Trinkets collection that I purchased a while back.  These pieces are my new go-to resource for adding just a little sweet touch to a project!

I sanded the edges of the Laughing Lola paper to get that nice white edge and help set it off from the light tan Glitter Paper.  A selection of retired (flowers, buttons) combined with newer accessories (chevron ribbon, wooden Trinkets butterflies) finishes up this project nicely!

I hope you'll join us at Heart2Heart Challenges this week and share the song in YOUR heart!  To play along simply use some Close to my Heart products in your project and link your photo thumbnail to the hop (very easy to do)!
