February Workshops

Hi Ladies,

 

Well, February is creeping up on us and I'm actually ready with all of my workshop projects for the month.  Because the new Occasions Mini Catalog came out this month, I'll be holding three special workshops (one in Feb, March, and April) focusing on the new products from this catalog. 

 

Now, there are always cute things in EVERY new catalog, but this one tops all others I have seen in my two years with Stampin' Up.  I wanted almost every stamp set and EVERY punch in the book.  And what better time to buy than during Sale-a-bration?

 

What is Sale-a-bration?  Well, from January 25-March 31st, for every $50 you spend, you get to choose an item absolutely FREE from the Sale-a-bration catalog.  And for hosting your own workshop of $300 or more, you can choose another item from the Sale-a-bration catlog for FREE.  This catalog contains stamp sets, paper packs, digital downloads, wall decor and more.  Be sure to pick up a catalog! 

 

So, what do I have planned for you in February?

 

Tuesday, February 1st - 3:45 - 8:00 PM (Come and go as you need to) - Regular 6 x 6 Scrapbook Spread Workshop - $10.  We'll create a cute Valentine spread.  See below for pics.  Deadline to RSVP for this workshop is Thursday, January 27th.

 Saturday, February 5th - 8 AM - 5 PM - Sandusky Kiwanis Fundraiser Crop.  Cost for this fundraiser is $25 and includes lunch and snacks.  There are many vendors at this event and the building is a wonderful place to scrap with lots of space and great lighting.  I haven't decided on my free make and take project for this event yet.  I'll also be doing one-on-one demos of My Digital Studio so you can see it in action. 

 

Tuesday, February 15th- Regular Card Workshop (Come and go as you need to)- 3:45 - 8:00 PM.  6 Cards for $10.  You've been asking for them, so we'll be making 6 masculine cards at this workshop. It's a variety of Get Well, Birthday & Sympathy cards, but I think you could use them for any occasion.  Please see attached pics for details.  The deadline to RSVP for this workshop is Friday, February 4th.  

Saturday, February 19th from 9 AM - 4 PM - Bad Axe Free Methodist Church Crop - FREE with the exception of a dish to pass for lunch.  Joann Volmering with Creative Memories will demonstrate a spring layout on a 12X12 page using new templates.  Her theme will be Spring.....  Joann will have supplies if anyone wants to purchase. Linda Fruytier and Evelyn Iden will be demonstrating some new ways to make embellishments.  They have many ideas for us.  So come prepared with lots of paper and your scissors.  No RSVP is needed.  I will be out of town on this Saturday, but can tell you that this is an awesome place to scrap and a great opportunity for everyone who is able to attend. 

Wednesday, February 23rd - Occasions Mini Stamp a Stack #1 - 3:45 - 8:00 PM.  12 Cards for $20.  This is the first of my Occasions Mini Workshops.  We'll be making 12 cards (2 each of 6 different designs) using new products from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  (See attached pics).  We'll be using the Build a Blossom Stamp Set and Punch, Create a Cupcake Stamp Set and Punch, and Thanks for Caring Stamp Set and 2 1/2" Circle Punch, along with the new Tulips Embossing Folder.   Spend $50 from the Occasions Mini catalog at this workshop and get any accessory from the Occasions Mini (up to $5) FREE PLUS choose a free item from the Sale-a-bration catalog!  Spend $100 and get your cards for free, plus a free accessory, plus 2 free Sale-a-bration items.  RSVP deadline for this workshop is Friday, February 11th. 

Saturday, February 26th - Ubly PTO Scrapbook Day - 9 AM - 9 PM.  Early registration by February 11th is $25.  After February 11th is $30.   I'll be there with a free make and take and some fun demonstrations.  

 

I hope that these workshops appeal to you.  As always, if there is something you'd like to learn how to do, or particular types of cards/scrap pages/other projects you'd like to make, please let me know.  I'd love to accommodate you! 

Have a great week!

Tracy

January Information

 Hi Ladies,

Happy New Year to all of you!  I hope that you had wonderful holidays with your family and friends.  I did, but am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things and seeing all of you.  I have a few changes to tell you about for 2011. 

First, because so many of you make different sized scrap pages, I am going to change my monthly layouts to from 12 x 12 to 6 x 6 pages.  That way, no matter what size page you prefer, you can use the 6 x 6 pages as part of your pages using progressive scrapping or just adding the 6 x 6 to your preferred page size as your focal point, adding your journaling or additional pics.  Also, for those of you new to scrapping, it is a little less intimidating because it's a smaller page to fill....LOL.

Second, I am learning how to use My Digital Studio.  That is Stampin' Up's digital scrap and card making program.  Although I am not ready to hold creative training sessions yet, I can tell you that it is one really amazing program.  I can't believe the fun things you can do with the click of your mouse.  For those of you who are intimidated by scrapbooking or just feel you don't have the time, this is one quick and easy way to create wonderful pages just by downloading your pics onto your computer.  I can't wait to show you how to use it!  My goal is to start classes in March using the program.

Third, you have spoken and told me that you prefer to make 6 cards each month instead of 3.  From now on, we'll be making 6 cards for $10 at our monthly card workshops. 

Now, on to January events!!!

Tuesday, January 11th from 3:45 to 8:00 PM - Regular Scrap Workshop at my home- Come and go as you need to.  Make a two page 6 x 6 Layout for $5.  Spend $35 and your project is free!  See attached pic for January layout.  I had fun with this one....RSVP deadline is Friday, January 7th.Tuesday, 
 









January 18th from 3:45 - 8:00 PM - Regular Card Workshop at my home - 6 cards for $10.  Come and go as you need to.  This month, I'm giving you some choices.  Because regular February card workshop will be after Valentine's Day, we'll be making Valentine cards this month.  But if you don't do Valentine cards or don't need 6 of them, I also have modified the cards so you could do them for wedding cards instead.  See the attached pics, as I have created a Valentine card and a wedding card of each.  As always, if you spend $35 you will receive your cards for free.  RSVP Deadline for this workshop is also Friday, January 7th.

 

Saturday, January 22nd - 10 AM - 9 PM - Zion Lutheran Scrap Fundraiser.  Cost for this fundraiser is $25 and includes all your meals.  I am just one of many vendors at this event, so be sure to check it out.  I will be offering 3 x 3 valentines as my free make and take project.  See attached picture for details.  I'll also be doing one-on-one demos of My Digital Studio so you can see it in action.  I will also be donating 10% of my sales back to the fundraiser.  A flyer with all registration information is attached for you.  I believe that seating is limited, so if you're interested, call Heather soon!

Saturday, February 5th - 8 AM - 5 PM - Sandusky Kiwanis Fundraiser Crop.  Cost for this fundraiser is also $25 and includes lunch and snacks.  There are many vendors at this event too and the building is a wonderful place to scrap with lots of space and great lighting.  I haven't decided on my free make and take project for this event yet.  I'll also be doing one-on-one demos of My Digital Studio so you can see it in action.  Seating is limited, so please contact Shannon (details on attached flyer) as soon as possible if you're planning to attend.  

General Information:

1)  Remember, any time you bring a new friend to a workshop at my home, you get to pick 3 cards from my card rack for free! 
2)  Sale-a-bration begins on January 25th.  Any time you place an order with me of $50 or more, you get to choose an item from the Sale-a-bration catalog for free!  Watch your e-mails for more details on Sale-a-bration as the time gets closer.
3)  I also do workshops away from my home.  If you have a group of friends or family that are interested in monthly card or scrap workshops at your home or theirs, I would love to get you started.  Feel free to ask questions about these workshops.  We can run those workshop in one of two ways:
    a)  Just like my regular workshops, where your group pays me for the
         projects they make with no monthly purchase requirement  OR
    b)  Each month, a different person holds the workshop in their home and is
         the hostess for the month, receiving hostess benefits for all orders
         placed that evening.

Whew!  Think that will keep us hopping for the month?  I sure do!  Looking forward to seeing all of you soon!
