Hello Friends.  Close To My Heart is having a big Retirement list of stamps and other products; that will be going away as of August 31, 2015.  Be sure to check them out and buy what you want before they are all gone.  Once they are gone; they are gone.  





Here are some of my favorites that you might like as well.  Click on links to go directly to the product.  Check out the complete list from the link above.  CTMH also has 7 colors of cardstock, ink, reinkers retiring from the Enchantment Collection.  I stocked up on mine last month.  The only three staying are Ruby, Goldrush and New England Ivy.  





If you are like me and love the Paper Fundamentals; they are all retiring and new designs are coming out for all 4 cardstock collections.  Only two color groups left in stock.  I love these gorgeous papers; with the same design on both sides; one shiny and one regular.
