Studio J, Close to My Heart’s online scrapbooking design software, just got even BETTER!

Imagine sitting down to create a gorgeous two-page layout for your 12” x 12” scrapbook in just a matter of minutes ANYWHERE you have a computer and internet access with NO creative mess to clean up. It’s all possible with Studio J! Simply upload your photos, choose your “kit” from the CTMH My Reflections kit we already know and love, choose your “pattern” and the hard work is done for you. Adding your precious photos is as easy as dragging and dropping them into place and embellishments can be changed, added or deleted with the simple click of a mouse! And all of this a FREE! When you’re done creating, you can order your custom-printed layout to be shipped to your door or save it to be ordered along with future creations.

As I mentioned above, Studio J is completely FREE to use, the only cost is for the beautiful prints! However, CTMH has just come up with another GREAT option for you.

How would you like to get ALL of your Studio J layouts at 50% off? How about access to EXCLUSIVE kits and patterns? How do FREE shipping each month and FREE Memory Protectors sound?

February is the month to help Haiti!!

Our hearts go out to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti, and like so many of you, we're eager to help. We're excited to announce Close To My Heart's February Constant Campaign, Hearts for Haiti-where customers can get a great deal while doing great good for those affected by the devastation in Haiti.

From February 1-28, 2010, our 12" x 12" textured cardstock combo packs are buy one, get one FREE-and with every offer purchased, Close To My Heart will donate $2 US to Operation Smile's Haiti relief efforts.

Operation Smile is always a fantastic charitable partner-offering free facial reconstruction surgeries to needy children throughout the world. They've currently marshaled their medical teams and resources to provide emergency relief in Haiti, and the donations given as part of Hearts for Haiti will be used exclusively for Operation Smile's efforts in Haiti. For more information on their on-the-ground response, you can visit www.operationsmile.org/haiti.

That means that for $17.50 CAN, you gets two packs of textured cardstock (a great deal at about $.30/$.36 per sheet!) and Operation Smile will receive $2 to benefit this urgent, important cause. Stock up on every color combination: Basic, Spring Harmony, Summer Celebration, Autumn Harvest, and Winter Cozy packs are available.
