Thanks!

I would like to know to.

I wanted to chime in on the albums. I have some from both...

CTMH and SU Linen post bound albums are pretty much the same. I don't really see or feel much difference.

The CTMH leather albums are so smooth and awesome but a bit pricey.

My favorite is the SU 3 ring binder style.

However... I love that CTMH has many more colors whereas SU only has a few.

That's my take on it at least, LOL

[craftytinkerbell]

I am glad to hear they have changed their policy on selling stuff. I never did understand that anyways. I feel that as long as a person gives credit, we should be able to do what we want (except for like mass production etc).

Have they lightened their restrictions on the blogging atmosphere yet? I know that when I was a consultant, I heard lots of rumours about CTMH telling consultants they could not post sales or anything on their blog. Kind of a sad thing b/c I thought that would HELP them, ya know? I'd love to hear that they changed this as well.

I am an SU demo but I do have quite a few CTMH sets. I love the stamps. Anyway, my license plate says I SCRAP (no not IS CRAP) I have decals on the windows for SU. I came out of the grocery store one evening and I found a CTMH book in my door handle...I thought that was so funny. That was what got me started on CTMH stamps. I do not have a demo right now and would like a catalog. Also could someone provide a link to the August stamps of the month? Blessings.

I had not heard about that. I just don't understand what is wrong with people nowadays. That is just so wrong.

Too funny! You can check out the Idea Book online at www.closetomyheart.com and can use the consultant locator to find a consultant near you. There is also a link for the stamp of the month as well.

I so wish! It looks like we are out here for long haul at this point. DH's job is stable and with a decent company who has never done a layoff in the 20 years they've been in business. We'd really like to see all of the kids get through high school before we pick up and move again. It'll be a while - our youngest turns 10 next week. LOL It's also quite a bit cheaper to live out here. Gas prices are high, but literally everything that we need is within a 5 mile radius of our house. So no long commute for work/shopping/etc. Sales tax rate is only 6%, no nasty personal property tax to pay on our cars every year, and we enjoy some of the lowest utility rates in the nation. There are days though that I wonder if I wouldn't trade all those perks for the nice green rolling hills of Missouri!

MAN... is this why no one is buying my stuff? LOL. I've been wondering. Normally I do wonderful selling my CTMH items but the past two weeks have been horrible. (and I'm not a consultant anymore... just clearing out my craft room of stuff).

I'm in Idaho also... but I absolutely LOVE it here. I've not been over to where you live but around here, I have lots of green Out of the ten states I've lived in, this is so far the best. LOL. But I'm looking towards Montana or Wyoming within the next five years!

Anyways, just wanted to chime in and say hi from a fellow Idahoan

Yes, you should wait because not only will you get new stuff but you'll also get the Fall/Winter catalogs (the newest) instead of the Summer ones

Thanks for saying hi! Can you PM me a list of the retired CTMH stuff you have? If I can't find it through the sale in August - there's a couple of things I'm looking for.

[craftytinkerbell]

just pm'd you Jen

Spring and Summer 2008 catalogs expire Dec 31 2008.
Our Fall/Winter catalog goes live September 1, and it also expires Dec 31, 2008.

They can be ordered out of and are considered current until December 31st. The retired list will be coming out soon and items on that list will be while supplies last. The timeline for the Spring Idea Book is January 1 - April 30. Summer is May 1 - August 31. Fall/Winter is September 1 - December 31.

[jenniewren]

Wow Amber you are fast! You beat me to it. LOL

[fresshe]

Ok- I think I get it--there will be a retired list of things for sale Aug 5th that will contain the items that will be retired from the Summer and Spring idea book and then a new idea book will come out--and everything that hasnt been retired can be bought until Dec31/
Thanks--sorry if I am really being a bit dense-

The products on the clearance sale beginning August 5th are those that were retired last year or before; the sale won't include those items that will be retiring later this year.

When the announcement of the new retiring items are provided soon, they will retire December 31st, or while supplies last (for embellishments/accessories/papers). Otherwise any product from the Spring, Summer, Fall/Winter 2008 and Product Review can be ordered until the end of the year.

[fresshe]

Thanks--that makes a bit more sense--well cant see what is on clearance!

[g33kgr1]

I got my July hostess order tonight... May and June Word puzzle stamp sets and the Spots and Dots background stamps... I already inked up 2 of the 3 sets! Aren't you impressed?

Finally broke into my Sonata paper I've been hoarding in my stash... so pretty... I just love Chocolate/Blush/Buttercup...

[dmsouthall]

How do we see what is in the Clearence sale????

[g33kgr1]

Anyone here in the CTMH thread in WishRAK? It is hard to grant wishes there... I don't have any SU stamps! Mine are all CTMH...

Amy,
I've played on all the PIF threads, and a "recycle" thread. Its not the exact thread that you are talking about tho.
I just let everyone know that I have CTMH to share. Sometimes people just don't know what you have to offer, and need to see what you have.
Here are links to a couple of the threads I play on... just to share...

thanks for your website - tons of sale items at cheap prices!!!

does anyone know if we will get hostess benefits for ordering enough of the clearence items?

Do demonstrators get their 22% off of these prices???? just wondering because a friend offers me her discount...... thanks

Marian

[Out_To_Pasture]

When orders are placed on our CTMH websites, at this time there isn't any way to provide hostess benefits; only when the orders are placed through a consultant. You can normally still receive the Stamp of the Month or any other special.

For this particular clearance sale, the consultant receives 10% instead of the usual 22% and cannot combine a clearance item purchase with a regular item purchase at the same time because of that. You'll receive an option of one or the other when clicking on the Shop Online.

PJ

[dmsouthall]

thank you so much PJ! You have a great website!

[Out_To_Pasture]

You're welcome! And thanks for the feedback on my site It's in the early stages and when I get my scrap room moved I'll finally be able to add some videos, etc.

I could just cry!

I contacted the "consultant" that I placed the order with - we did everything thru email. There isn't any information on the order form to call CTMH or any address to return the wrong one - what do I do now? Call the consultant and have her straighten it out? I have emailed her she's really sweet but being this is 4th of July weekend coming up, you know, lol.

I"d appreciate any help! Thanks in advance,

Kelly you had this happen twice with two different companies?

[Kim_L]

CTMH hasn't changed their policies on blogging. We cannot advertise any specials, workshops or pretty much anything that promotes CTMH products on our blogs. The only exception is that we can place our CTMH web address and that's it. Posting artwork is okay.

Thanks for the easy reference!

Any news from convention?

thanks,
Susan

[IndiAnnaJones]

I posted something about starting a stamp club for CTMH today and now I can't find the thread. Do you think they would have pulled it?


Thanks,

[Kim_L]

Hi Susan,

There are lots of new products that will be introduced in the new Idea Book but I can't say anything because the group I belong to has made a rule that we can't pass on any info regarding convention as we get the updates. It should be okay after convention is over.

And we one of the first to place an order on Aug 5th if you want those clearance items! They will sell QUICKLY!

[Kim_L]

Okay, CTMH posted the new Idea Book online for consultants to see so I will assume that it's okay for me to post some things about it. The new consultant kits are only $99 with $300 worth of products. The stamps are absolutely beautiful in the kit and the papers and the new colors are gorgeous!! I can't wait to get the new stuff!!

[IndiAnnaJones]

Do you know what other items new consultants can get for discounted price. A friend of mine is interested and I need the details. Where can I find them on the website.

Also, is this new price effective Sept 1st?

You absolutely MUST clarify that none of the NEW stuff is available for customers until Sept 1. when the catalog goes live.
That includes the new consultant price.

[Kim_L]

In my excitement I had forgotten that detail. All new stuff doesn't go into effect until Sept. 1st. Thanks for pointing that out.

So if we join in August do we get the new kit?

[IndiAnnaJones]

I think you have to wait to join until after September 1st.
