CTMH - The August overlapping specials expire on August 31st - don't miss them! and some Art Philosophy news

I love the Cricut® Art Philosophy collection.  I love the stamps that match.  I love the chipboard that matches.  I love 700+ shapes.  Since the cartridge shapes, stamp images, and Dimensional Elements all complement each other, it’s a snap to cut a shape, stamp on it, and then layer it on a Dimensional Element to really make it pop. The Cricut® Art Philosophy collection is priced at just $99 US while its retail value is approximately $125. Even better - it also co-ordinates with other stamps in our idea book! You can find them by looking for a red outline around a stamp image. It indicates that the stamp image coordinates with an image found on the cartridge. Stamp images that coordinate with the Art Philosophy cartridge have the corresponding size-dial setting printed right on the stamp carrier sheet.  The Cricut® Art Philosophy collection is currently on backorder until mid September. You can place your order now though so you can take advantage of the current specials.

So here's a recap of the specials for August:

National Stamping Month - My Acrylix® Pair-a-Phrase double stamp set FREE when you place an order of $75 US from August 15 through September 30, 2011.
