SPECIAL INTEREST

  • I have 3 spot left in the new round of $25 product club. This round begins March 15th! In this program everyone commits to spending $25 each month for ONLY 6 months. Then one of the months is choosen as your personal rewards month. During this month not only do you get the min of $25 in FREE products but you have the opportunity to boost your rewards with collecting outside orders, hosting a party/workshop and/or (NEW) online orders. The rewards program has added a wonderfully new option too: Bundles and 50% off items!
  • Color Club will be starting again soon. This is the best way to get a sample of each of the 60 exclusive CTMH colors without an overload on supplies.
  • There is New club in town: Kit Workshop! It will be your way to complete layouts plus cards/paper crafts from each one of the New Reflections Kits (these are the kits in the front of each new Idea Book). Hand in hand the clubs work perfectly together; Kit Workshops gets you the materials and directions while product club helps build the tools for all those new techniques you will be learning!

Announcement


It's official! This July 10-12 will mark our first annual Disney Party Retreat. Registration is now open! I want to thank Shelia Goldsberry for her willingness to co-host this event. As many of you know I had to postpone many of my events due to health issues and thought that we would only be able to have a May and September Retreat. Sadly, that left many of you unable to come. So Shelia boldly has offered to help me out so we can have a summer retreat plus decided that it should have a theme. And did she pick a good one!

Most of the details are still in the works but here are a few of the things we have planned:
  • Extra Special Goodies bags with lots of Disney items
  • Disney Character costume contest
  • Layout page contest for your Disney pictures
RESERVE YOUR SPOT, TODAY!



* We are still looking for great Teachers, Projects and Vendors for this event! So please contact Laura ASAP.

So here is how it works...I am using the flat rate shipping boxes and will stuff it full of paper, ribbons and class kit parts that are filling the shelves in my scrapbook room. The boxes will sell for $30 each and the shipping is $10.35. Each box will include at least two packages of paper from Cordinations and a pack of Dream Street Paper! These were the two staples of my classes. I will add some ribbons as well as a class pack or two...as much as I can fit in the flat rate (11-7/8" x 3-3/8" x 13-5/8") box!
