Reason #1 to try Stampaganza: Complete a collection

Maybe it's because I tend to be a bit OCD about things, but I plan to take advantage of Stampaganza to purchase the October word puzzle. It's the only one I don't have, and who wants a year without October -- the best month of the year! The monthly word puzzles are being retired at the end of the year so I need to act fast. I just have to find one more stamp set to buy (not a difficult task, I assure you!), and I will get a third one free! That's a pretty sweet deal!

I use the word puzzles a lot. They're great for seasonal cards and scrapbook pages. Another way I like to use them is for calendars. It's so easy to make a cute event calendar for an easy, memorable Christmas gift. Or use my favorite embellish-able (is that a word??) item: My Creations Display Album. I hope to post some ideas using both of these items very soon!

Be sure to check out the list of retiring stamp sets here. These are only available through December 31, 2009, so now is a great time to stock up!

Stampaganza! Nov. 3 - 30

It's the most wonderful time of the year . . . Close to My Heart is giving us an early Christmas present! From November 3 - 30, if you purchase two of any size stamp sets (A - E, excluding Stamp of the Month and K-size personalized stamps), you get one stamp set FREE (A - D only)! What a great deal! This is the perfect time to give a Christmas wish list to your family, filled with your must-have stamp sets. You may order directly from my website, or you may call me and place an order.

You can also qualify for the discounts on the Stamp of the Month with your Stampaganza purchases! If you purchased 3 D-size stamp sets at $22.95 each and 1 E-size stamp set at $34.95, you will qualify for two free stamp sets (up to D-size) plus the SOTM free! If you choose two D-size stamp sets for your free sets, the value is $172.65 for just over $100! (Regular s&h charges apply.)

Heading off to make my wish list . . .
