Scrapbook Clubs for 2011

I am finally ready to start a scrapbooking club and cardmaking club. Each club will meet for about 2 hours once every other month to make a two page layout or 6 cards. We will learn at least one technique. I will have all supplies available except adhesives (you are welcome to bring your own paper cutter, stamps, inks, etc). You will leave with extra papers and supplies to make more layouts and cards. It is a great deal! Here is how it is going to work:

~The clubs will meet every other month.
Scrapbooking: January, March, May, July, September, November
Card Making: February, April, June, August, October, December
~Each club will need 6 members to spend $30 every other month.
~Each member will take a turn being the hostess. As the hostess you will get at least $25 in product credit. You don't have to hold the club at your house. We can meet at my house.
~Sign ups start now and end Wednesday, January 5. When you sign up please tell me what days and times work best for you (Thursday evenings, Saturday mornings, etc).


For every six people I will add a club. Please leave your comment or email me to sign up. The best thing about this is you do not have to come to the club either. If you live out of town but still want to take part I will mail you the supplies you need with instructions (just split shipping with me). This picture is a preview of the two page layout we will do in January.

Blog Candy!

I so love this time of year. The lights, music, snow (when it is fresh and untouched). My favorite part is that it brings family and friends together. I wish the same feeling could stay around all year long. That is what I love about scrapbooking. I can open a book and remember the fun moments and have that feeling again any time of year. I would love to know some of your favorite holiday memories, favorite thing of the season, traditions, whatever. So, I am going to give some blog candy, but I am not telling you what it is. Trust me when I say you will want what is being given away. Give away open until December 22. Winner will be announced on December 23.

Want More Rewards?

If you're looking for a way to build your scrapbooking and stamping supplies more affordably than ever, October is the time—and a Home Gathering is the way!

Why, you ask? During October, all of my hostesses will earn more Hostess Rewards with a qualifying Gathering of at least $450 US / $500 CAN in sales.

How does this work? As a qualifying hostess, you'll automatically jump up to the next Hostess Rewards level which means more rewards for you! You'll earn at least $20 more in free select product, which includes our stamp sets and blocks, stamp pads, markers, re-inkers, My Reflections® Level 1 and Level 2 scrapbooking products, and all cardstock packs! Just for reaching the minimum in sales, we'll reward you with more products that you love! You may even earn an additional item of your choice at 50 percent off, which means you save big bucks on the higher ticket items you've had your eye on. So, don't wait! October is a great time to invite your friends and family over to do some holiday shopping with Close To My Heart, order their holiday card supplies, and have a fun night out crafting, laughing, and relaxing.

Things Change

I cannot believe how fast things change. First, my goals. Don't worry, I am still trying to do birthday cards (I am catching up on them tonight). And I have bought some paper to do Mark's mission. But I don't think I am going to make it the DC for Convention. See, I am expecting! I am so excited for this new adventure (and let me tell you I have been so sick that it has been an adventure). However, I just can't justify flying at 7 months pregnant, in the middle of summer, and spending the money when I am going to have some doctor bills to pay instead. So, goals have adapted and things change. I think this is a good change.

Goal Update

Well, So far I have done pretty good on my birthday card goal. I have a few I still need to send out but I have them made. Here are a couple of pictures from January's cards. I couldn't figure out how to rotate these so I apologize in advance.

2010 Goals and Giveaway

Wow! The days are flying by faster than I can keep up. I swear all I do is sleep, get dressed, work, get in my jammies and sleep again. So, surprise surprise when I don't announce the winner until five days later. Hey, better late than never. So, without further ado, the winner is...

Stephanie Fisher!!!

Congrats. Email me with a current address so I can send you your prize! Good luck everyone with your goals!

My 2010 Giveaway

So, for my 2010 give away I am going to make this cute wall hanging from the Felicity Collection (see post below) for National Papercrafting Month. Make sure you enter by January 15!

2010 Goals

I am so excited for this new year. I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and Great New Year! I enjoyed spending time with my family and contemplating what I can do to make 2010 the best year ever. Here are three of my goals that I want to share with whoever reads this so I will be more accountable.

1. I want to send birthday cards to all of our immediate family members. Now, for those of you who don't know our family, we have lots of birthdays between brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, and neices and nephews. Last night we counted and there is almost 60 birthdays! Don't you worry though. I have already made all of the cards for January birthdays (unless we forgot someone).

2. I want to go to CTMH Convention in Washington DC in July. I am saving up my money so I can pay my way. Every time I sell a CTMH product I will be that much closer. I need $650 to get there. So far I have $120. I think I can make it by July.

3. I want to scrapbook Mark's mission. I won't do all of the pictures, but I think I will do 20 two page layouts. I want to be able to give it to him for Christmas so I have plenty of time and I want to do a few layouts a month.

To make this fun for you too I would like to have a contest. I would love to hear what some of your goals are. Tell me one of your goals for the year. Comment by January 15. I will randomly pick one person to give a free gift to. I will post who won on January 16. Thanks and have fun stamping!
