Scrap Club 2012-2013

This year I am going to introduce a new aspect to my classes with a scrap club. I hosted a scrap class in May and it was a success! We all enjoyed ourselves and I realized how much I miss traditional scrapbooking. These scrap classes will be held on a monthly basis and do not require any type of committment. I only require a two week notice in order to prepare supplies and space. Below is more information.

What: Scrap at least 4 pages each month
When: 4th Saturday of every month; our first meeting will be July 28
RSVP: at least 2 weeks in advance; Please RSVP by July 14 if you plan to attend the first meeting
Cost: a flat $15 each month

Christmas Card Club 2012

Who is thinking about Christmas yet?! Well, I am! Each year in early December, I aspire to send handmade Christmas cards to all of my family and friends. Without a doubt, I never succeed! Making beautiful hand crafted cards can be time consuming and December is usually crazy enough as it is. So, this year I am trying a new approach. I am going to start making my Christmas cards in July and I would love you all to join me! I will be starting a Christmas card club with our first meeting at the end of July. We will meet the 4th Monday of each month in July, August, September, October and November. At each meeting, we will create 8 beautiful Christmas cards. This will give you a total of 40 cards handmade by you and ready to be mailed out in early December! Following are the nitty gritty details:

 
What you will receive: materials and instruction to complete 8 handmade Christmas cards and 8 coordinating envelopes 
When: First Monday of each month
Where: My house on Vermontstrasse on Patch; Bldg 2504, Apt B2
Cost: $12 a month which totals $60 for five months OR $50 for five months when you pay upfront

RSVP: by the second Monday of the month. This is essential as I sometimes need to order extra supplies for a class. I will send out a reminder email each month. 

Our first meeting will be on Monday, July 23. That means I need to know if you plan to join us by Monday, July 9. If this sounds like something you are interested in, please let me know!

Continuing the fond farewell....

The stamp set "Always" has a very special place in my heart. Before I was a demonstrator, I held a workshop in my home in North Dakota with my friend (and now upline) Joy. Joy takes great care in creating workshop projects that speak to the taste of the hostess. In my case, she knew I loved birds and vintage style. She pulled out this stamp set and I was in love. I signed up that week to become a demonstrator and ordered this very stamp set with my starter kit. I am very sad to see it go. If you love it as much as I do, make sure you order it before June 30 when it will be gone forever!

I hope you enjoy revisiting all of my past creations using this fabulous stamp set!

Last Chance List!!

I have to say two of my absolute favorite sets of all time are on the retiring list this year. Sad.

Here are some cards featuring Friends 24-7.

Don't miss your last chance to order your favorite stamp sets today! You can see the full list here.

Monogrammed Cards

I have a friend who recently had a birthday. I personalized this gift tin and some notecards with her initials. It was actually fun putting together and I'm thinking a monogram class may ensue!
