Scrapbooking with Boutique!

I'm so proud of these scrapbook pages. The BOUTIQUE kit from Close to my Heart was the perfect fit for my daughter and new son-in-law’s engagement photos. I just LOVE the way these turned out! 😍 You can create similar or uniquely-your-own beautiful pages with me this weekend during my monthly crop and potluck, this Saturday 10/20 (9am-3pm).

I have just one more of these kits left in my inventory right now (but I can easily order more of them if it sells before you can snatch it up from me). I will also have Halloween and Fall-themed kits available to create with this weekend too! I’d love to show you how! ❤️ #ctmh #ctmhboutique #scrapbooking #scrapbookingworkshopkits #stampwithjencreativefriends #letmeshowyouhow #memorykeepingmatters

June Scrapbooking and Cardmaking...with Fresh Air!

June is here and these are the
the scrapbook pages and cards we're
making this month using the
"Fresh Air" paper collection!

First, let's talk about the "create dates"
I'm offering this month! As many of you
know, my oldest daughter is getting married
on June 15th. In addition to all the wedding
preparations and family we'll have staying with us,
I'm also busy preparing to be a creative presenter
at the Close to my Heart Convention (for consultants)
in Las Vegas from June 28-30. I'm so thrilled about
this opportunity and have A LOT of artwork to 
design/create using "top-secret" NEW
not-yet-released products that I need to keep
under wraps until the next catalogs are revealed
in August and September.

It's all a tad overwhelming, so I've decided
that I very much need to cut back on the
number of "create dates" I'm able to offer to my
customers in my home (this month only). If you
are also busy and/or vacationing this month and 
are unable to attend the following dates in June,
please know that you can still pre-order and
plan to make these projects with me during
July and/or August also!

The June "Create Dates" will be:
Friday, June 8th (6pm-10pm)
Saturday, June 9th (9am-1pm)
Monday, June 25th (9am-1pm)

Let's take a look at this month's pages!
If you compare my layouts to the originals designed by CTMH, you might notice some differences. This is because I frequently like to "change up" the pages to include more space for larger (mostly 4x6) photos, because that's usually my preference. Our workshop kits/pages are more versatile than you might think, and I can show you how to make them work for you, even if the photos you have to use on them are not the exact sizes and orientations shown. You are welcome to create your pages exactly like these ones below, or you can use your own creativity to change them up however you want!

These last two pages (above) are ones that I designed

using "Make It From Your Heart, Volume III"

as my inspiration (pattern #14 on page 32).
Layout #4 is a free BONUS layout, that I like to
design and add-on to your kit for you every month!

If you're considering joining my monthly scrapbooking

club, we'd love to have you join us now! Here's how...

It's really quite simple. Just plan to purchase and use

the featured scrapbooking kit I offer each month,

and by the end of the year, you can have as many as

96 pages done (that's enough to fill TWO full albums!)

Each monthly kit is $32 (when purchased in-person),

pre-cut for you (by me) and ready for you to use to 

assemble 4-12x12 layouts (that's 8 pages!) every month.

As an extra incentive from me, I also offer what

I call "DONE DOLLARS!" For every two-page layout you

complete (with photos and journaling!) by the end of the

following month, I will give you a credit of $1.00. If you

complete all 4 layouts from the monthly kit, then you will

have earned a $4 credit to spend with me however

you'd like. In addition to this extra motivation to 

complete your layouts, I also reward you for your

consistent participation! When you buy any 6 of our

scrapbooking workshop kits, your 7th kit is FREE!

*There are additional shipping costs for customers who wish

to order online, and non-local customers will need to cut

their own paper (all kits include a detailed cutting guide to

make it easy!), but I do like to reward my online 

customers also with these extra perks from me.

Now, let's talk about Card-making!!
All cards are $2 each (bring and use your own adhesives).
You get to choose how many of each you want to make
from my "card buffet," whether it be just a few or a lot.
Any customer who has purchased a scrapbooking
workshop kit or who makes a $30 or more purchase,
qualifies for the discounted "club member" price 
of just $1 per card!

The cards this month are quite simple,
but FUN none-the-less!!

Last chance to get Postcard Perfect!

So, our National Scrapbook Month 2018

is coming to a close and you have just

the past month or two, then you may have

Postcard Perfect paper packet.

Summer Event Schedule...please mark your calendars now!

I'm excited to share my MONTHLY EVENT SCHEDULE

for this upcoming Summer! May and June are so jam-packed

for me, that I've had to re-arrange some of the dates I had

previously advertised (so, I'm sorry about needing

to make those changes)!

What you see below are the correct dates and times!

I'm also including images of each of the scrapbooking kits

we'll be working with each month (below). Remember,

local customers receive an additional 4th layout (designed

by me), so you get to make 8 pages total with your kit

for just $32. All cards are optional and cost extra.

The 4-5 card designs I'm offering during each month

($2 each) will also feature the same paper collection

(with coordinating stamps) and I am usually able to share

photos of the cards we'll be making about a week or two

before I offer them each month (so keep an eye out for my

Facebook posts and reminders). I hope you will plan to

discover and grow your creativity with us this Summer

and join us for the fun very soon!

Happy April! I'm really excited to show you
