Time to Hit the Road!!

Happy April, scrapbook friends! Lots of rain happening to get us going this month - that means lots of flowers in May, right? Hope that wherever you are you are safe and dry!

We have a fun Road Trip collection launching Monday, plus some bringbacks of popular punches and album covers!

Also last call for anyone who might want to get their hands on the Paradise Found bundle that is exclusively available to those of us who earned the Creative Memories trip to Mexico (that’s happening in just a few weeks!) but I am able to share that one with you because YOU helped me get there! Thank you!

Paradise Found Collection

Last call for anyone who wants to get in on one of the extra Paradise Found collections that I am able to order because I earned the Mexico trip!! This collection will not be available any other way - only those who earned the trip can order it. It includes the Paradise Found Paper Pack, Paper Mat Pack, Stickers, Embellishments, Borders, Coral Punch and Sunshine Large Pod. Cost is $128 plus your sales tax and shipping to you (unless you are local, in which case I can combine orders for free shipping and you can pick it up from me!)

I can also order the exclusive Paradise Found Album Cover for $40. The last day for me to order this for you (or for me!) is April 18th - if I don’t order my max allowed amount by then, they’ll offer them to other trip earners. So let me know ASAP if you would like one. If you’re already on my list I have contacted you separately to verify that you still want it!

National Scrapbook Days!

Are you still thinking about joining us for one of the two National Scrapbook Day weekends? I have THREE spots left for the first session and six for the second session.

May 15 - 17 or May 29 - 31

Thursday night from 5 to 9 pm and Friday and Saturday from 10 am to 9 pm. Five meals are included with your $100 fee, plus a goody bag with exclusive items and the NSD Project Recipe.

I do have a couple of people who can’t be there the whole time - if you would be interested in splitting a spot, please contact me directly and I’ll see what we can work out!

Hit the Road!

Do you have a road trip planned for this summer?? OR, maybe like me, you have photos from the past of a trip across the country (or part of the country!) that haven’t made it into a scrapbook yet? This is the collection for you!

Hit the Road is a car-trip themed collection (perfect for that person who is currently driving Route 66, you know who you are!) with fun papers and some super cute punches!

The collection includes Designer Paper, Stickers, Mats and Embellishments, plus a Road Trip Border Punch and fun Road Signs Mini Punch Trio.

As always, if you want it all (you know you do!) your best bet is to purchase the Buy-it-All Bundle, which saves you 10% over buying the items separately AND gets you the Project Playbook FREE, plus enters you to win one of two “Year’s Supply” of Tape Runner!

There is also a cute Blue Agate bookcloth Album Cover, AND because it coordinates so nicely, a 50% off special on the Snow Capped Mountains Border Punch!

Bringback Favorites!

Did you miss out on one of the Border Punches that will coordinate perfectly with the Hit the Road collection? CM has heard our pleas and brought them back, for a limited time! All of these are punches that I have received multiple requests for over the years (especially Cityscape!) and I’m so glad they are back!

NOTE: Comfortable Camper was released during the time when CM started having a problem with “exploding” punches. Turns out they tried using a stronger spring to make the punches work more easily on thicker cardstock, but what that did was allow the punches to store up kinetic energy when they were closed - and then BAM! the spring would prove stronger than the punch casing, and the whole thing would burst! They have FIXED this problem, so these punches are not at risk of doing the same thing.

In addition to the bringback punches, we’re getting some of my favorite travel albums again too!

This time, when you order one of these album covers, you will also get a FREE coordinating XL Frame Embellishment!

If that isn’t enough, they’ve also put some of the coordinating products on sale! (To be honest, I think this is because some of these items have been around for a while and CM is trying to clear their shelves so they can make room for new stuff!) However, because of this, these items are WSL.

Flag Banner Border Punch $14.50 (regular $29.00)
Firecracker Punch $12.50 (regular $25.00)
Canadian Pride Paper Pack $5.00 (regular $10.00)
Polar Bears Border Punch $14.50 (regular $29.00)
Sunburnt Country Paper Pack $5.00 (regular $10.00)
Australia Map Recipe Template $5.00 (regular $15.00)

How to Order!

That’s it, but that’s a lot!!

For a closer view of the new products launching Monday, check out CM’s info page here: April 7th Sneak Peek

If you are local and would like me to order any of these items for you, you can pick them up at any of my scheduled events starting with next weekend’s crop, April 18 & 19, or we can set up a time that works for both of us. PLEASE order on this google form: Local Pickup Order Form.

If you plan to order online, I can’t pay your shipping, but I CAN give you a $10 CM Credit to help offset that. Please email me and say “I am going to order” and I will happily transfer it to your account.

Thank you!!

I hope you’re as excited about the new travel collection as I am — and if not, I hope that something we have coming up will be exciting to you! If not - well, hopefully you’re getting to use up the stash you already have!!

Secret Box #2 is coming NEXT Monday, April 14th, so I’ll be back in your inbox again with what will probably be a relatively short email.

Happy Scrapbooking!
