LAYOUTS and CARDS for my monthly hostess clubs

 I thought I'd give you a peek at the layouts we have done and will be doing in my monthly workshop clubs.  I have a new club starting on the third Tuesday of March--if you'd to join, let me know!  For my clubs, I design a two-page 12 x 12 layout featuring one of our beautiful kits.  I pre-cut your pieces, so when you come to class at my house, you'll assemble the layout, add the stamping and embellishments.  If you're a card maker, I design three or four cards for you to make each month (we also do dimensional items).  Club members must place a $20 minimum order each month when they come to class.  Each month, one of the club members will be "hostess" and earn the free gifts based on their club's order total.  The club continues until all members have been hostess--usually 10 to 12 months.  Clubs are a GREAT way to get something done each month, and they allow you to try lots of different papers and designs.

Mark your calendars!!

You are cordially invited to my Spring/Summer Catalog Open House on Thursday, February 3rd, 5 to 8 p.m.  Come check out all of the fantastic new products from our new bi-annual Idea Book.  Each guest will receive a FREE Idea Book.  I'll have snacks, oodles of artwork on display, sign-up sheets for upcoming workshops, door prizes, and a Mystery Hostess Drawing.  You're welcome to bring a friend.  Contact me directly if you need directions to my home!

12 x 12 Monthly Memo/Calendar/Display board, Tuesday, February 8th, 6 p.m.

I'm not exactly sure what to call this project, but I know you're going to love it!!  We'll be making twelve 12 x 12 layouts--one for each month of the year.  You have the option of adding the calendar to the page or just leaving it blank for photos of your choice.  The class fee will include the 12 x 12 frame, which will enable you to turn your layout into a dry-erase memo board.  So, it can be a place for you to display new photos each month, a calendar, or a memo board--or all three in one!  Easel is not included.  Estimated cost for the class is $25.

Valentine Workshop Monday, January 24th, 6 p.m.

 
When I think of Valentine's Day, I think about CHOCOLATE!  All of my Valentine Workshop projects are designed for you to deliver sweet treats to the ones you love.  We'll be making a giant candy bar wrap, a mini nugget holder, a matchbook holder that opens up and holds a Ghirardelli chocolate and a mini "pizza box" that we'll fill with Hershey Hugs & Kisses.  All of these projects can be easily adapted for other times of the year.  Cost for the class is $4 for materials plus a $10 minimum order.  If this class fills, I will open a second night on Jan. 25th.  Please let me know ASAP if you'd like to come so that I can know whether or not to add the second night.
