January Scrapbook Club

My January scrapbook club will be meeting Wednesday January 26 at 6:30. We will be making the beautiful Wings Workshop scrapbook pages. I will also showcase the other projects you can make with your leftover supplies from Club. Cost is just $30. If you are interested call me so I can have your supplies ready for your night out! If you can't make it to Cedar City, Utah call me and I will have everything you need shipped to you so you can have a Girls Night IN!

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.
