Bring Home Jason Kyles


My friend, Rebecca Kyles is looking for her husband. He left home on February 2, 2013 and has been missing since then. Jason Kyles has mental illness and it's likely that he's disoriented and frightened. Rebecca has been inspirational in her commitment to finding Jason. She has spent countless hours searching, encouraging volunteers, and making his plight known. There have been a number of promising sightings in Santa Rosa, but he is still missing. Now friends of Rebecca's have set up a donor site with the purpose of raising enough money to hire a professional tracker and establish a reward fund.

 
Kristian and I have made a donation to the fund, but I would like to do more. The donor site will expire on July 31, 2013, so I am donating all my commissions from any Close To My Heart orders from now through July 31 to the Bring Jason Kyles Home fund raiser.

If you'd like to check out the donor site yourself, here's a link: https://www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/flh2/bring-jason-kyles-home-?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=fb_share_stream.share&utm_campaign=dashboard_overview_T1&fb_ref=1144195


If you'd like to get something between now and July 31, it's a great time to order. This is the last month to order from the CTMH 2013 Spring Summer Catalog. Get those retiring products before they're gone! Just email an order to me, or use the online shopping (click on the Shopping Cart in the right-hand column.)

There are also some specials:

We had such a great time at our 2nd Wednesday Club last night. These are the Patriotic Stars we made using the Close To My Heart My Creations Star and various red, white and blue papers, ribbons, and embellishments.



We used a few tricks and tools to make this easier.
  • Close To My Heart has published a template to cut the striped pieces to cover the star. (Find it under Ideas & Inspiration on www.closetomyheart.com .)
  • The blue star, the banner, and the letters were cut on the Cricut with the Art Philosophy cartridge.
  • The rosette was cut on my Big Shot with a Tim Holtz die.
These stars are really fun to make and lend themselves to all kinds of occasions. Try one when you get a chance!

Something special for you ...and you ... And you...

Hello stamping and scrapping friends!

I've got a couple of things to tell you about -- a special end-of-the-month offer AND the announcement of the next ScrapHappy meeting at the Belle Cooledge Library.

Well, it is almost the end of April and I'm going to throw in a little special of my own to finish up the month. My iPad camera isn't working right, so you'll have to pull out your CTMH catalog, or click on the shopping icon here on my blog.

Here's your chance to try out a new CTMH product FREE.  If you purchase the stamp set For a Friend (D1542, page 99) between now and 8 pm on Tuesday, April 30, I will throw in the Muslin Drawstring Gift Bags (Z1822, pictured just above the stamp set) FREE.

There's even an online video showing you how to make a cute project with this stamp set and the bags.

Send me an email with your order and I'll take care of the rest.

SCRAPHAPPY

Come to the Belle Cooledge Library on Friday, May 10 to make swing cards from the exclusive, CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge. See my earlier posting on Sunday, March 24 for pictures. (Papers may vary.)

ScrapHappy will start at 6:00. Please RSVP so I will have enough kits on hand.
