June CTMH special-A Deal A Day

Take advantage of a different deal each day during June on my website at http://corey.myctmh.com.Each special will run for just one day—23 hours to be exact, from 10 a.m. (CT) to 9 a.m. (CT) the following day. The hour between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. will be used to finalize all pending transactions, clear the queue, and launch the next “deal.”There will be two different types of “deals” offered on my site through this exciting promotion:

1. Receive a free item with a qualifying purchase. On 24 of the 30 days in June, you can receive a specially-selected current product absolutely free (tax does apply on free items in the US) when you purchase a My Acrylix® stamp set, size A, B, C, D, or E (excluding Stamp of the Month, customized or K-size sets, and Art & Soul featured stamp sets). Please read additional information about qualifying stamp sets. The free product will change daily and there can be only one free item per order. Shoppers will also save big on shipping when orders meet all Deal-a-Day guidelines. Please read on for shipping requirements.
2. Receive 50% off or more on “Great Goodies” boxes. On 6 of the 30 days in June, you can purchase a “mystery” box filled with “Great Goodies.” Contents will vary by box and include both current and retired favorite stamp sets, paper packs, embellishments, and other great products. The six “Great Goodies” boxes will all have different pricing of at least 50% off retail, with some at even deeper discounts! Note that we have made every effort to differentiate the 6 “Great Goodies” options so you can purchase boxes on different dates and receive a wide variety of differing products! No qualifying purchase is required on the days a “Goodies” box is the deal; discounted shipping is also available when orders meet all Deal-a-Day guidelines. Please read on for shipping requirements.
Also note that in order to give shoppers the best possible deal on products and shipping, Deal-a-Day purchases must include ONLY Deal-a-Day items and nothing else. Simplifying the guidelines will streamline the shipments of orders and that is also how we’re able to discount shipping for this exciting and unique promotion.This means:
On “Great Goodies” days, only one “Great Goodies” box and no other items may be checked out in a single transaction.
On the “free item with qualifying purchase” days, only one stamp set and the free item may be checked out in one transaction.
If there are additional or different items in the cart, the system will not recognize the purchase as a “Deal-a-Day” purchase and neither the “deal” nor the discounted shipping will be accepted.

In order to receive this great shipping discount to add to the great product deals, ONLY Deal-a-Day qualifying items may be in the shopping cart at checkout.Discounted pricing by area is as follows:
Free Items Shipping/HandlingIncludes one stamp set and the free item = $3 US.Great Goodies Boxes Shipping/HandlingShipping will be based on the price of each Great Goodies box, but will be deeply, deeply discounted and represent only a fraction of the value of the contents. Shipping pricing will be clearly posted at checkout on each day that a Great Goodies box is offered.
As a little hint, Great Goodies boxes shipping to the continental US will range from just $6-$10. This is going to be an incredible value for shoppers all the way around. Watch your MyCTMH site for Great Goodies days to see the specific shipping pricing for each box to your area.

Happy shopping and let me know if you have any questions. Also please note that it is not necessary to type the www in front of my website. http://corey.myctmh.com

Massive project-FInally finished!

I agreed to do 9 altered clipboards for the teachers at my son's preschool. I guess that wasn't real smart since I'd never done one, but I figured that they wouldn't be hard to do. Boy, was I wrong! I had so many problems from the start. I used my tape runner to adhere the paper to the board on the first one that I did. After I did that I discovered that when using Mod Podge on top of a project you also need to use it to adhere the paper to your project or your paper will bubble. Lovely. Second problem was that I tried stamping on it. Guess what? Mod Podge smeared the ink. So, lesson to self, don't stamp or ink on something if you plan to mod podge it. I ended up completely redoing the first one. Then to add to the dilemma, the CTMH clipboards are a weird size. They are 12 and 1/2 by 14 and 1/2. So to get the border across the bottom, I cut the 12x12 cardstock diagonally from corner to corner and then the cardstock was long enough to go across the bottom. I was pretty pleased with the end product despite the numerous problems. I used the Animal Cookies paper from Close To My Heart to cover the boards. I cut the flowers on my cricut using George, the letters were cut using Alphalicious, and the words on the back of the boards were cut using Graphically Speaking. So without further ado, here they are:







I put a poem on the back and this is what it says:

One Hundred Years From Now
by Forest Witcraft

One hundred years from now
it will not matter
what kind of car I drove,
what kind of house I lived in,
how much money was in my
bank account,
nor what my clothes looked like.
But, the world may be a better place
because I was important
in the life of a child.
