Happy almost-March, scrapbook friends!! I know February is a short month, but WOW! And it feels even shorter because CM is once again giving us the new products a few days early! (I think they may actually be moving to an every-two-weeks launch, as opposed to the twice a month thing? I guess we will find out!)

Read on for info on several big events coming up, beautiful new Spring products and a FREE SHIPPING offer on my website!

Rocket City Scrapbook Retreat

I have three spots left for this event that starts in less than two weeks! Registration ends at midnight Monday, May 27, so if your schedule has finally solidified and you can make it, I would love to have you!

Details and registration links are here: Rocket City Retreat Mission 14

National Scrapbook Day(s)

Get ready to “Squeeze the Day” with our fun citrus themed National Scrapbook Day celebrations! This year I am offering both in-person AND virtual multi-day events, so hopefully everyone who would like to come play with us will be able to!

In person at my crop studio in Madison Alabama.
Either April 27-29 OR May 4-6
$100 event fee will get you 25 hours of crop time, four catered meals, goody bag with exclusive CM items and the exclusive NSD Project Recipe and Sketch Book!

More info and registration link here: In-Person NSD

Can’t make it to Alabama? Prefer cropping in your pajamas? We’ll be doing a very similar event - only no catered meals. :) You’ll need to purchase your own supplies but you’ll still get the classes and time to socialize with other scrapbookers, plus some extra games and opportunities for prizes in an exclusive Facebook group. (Not on Facebook? You can still join us - I will make sure you get all the same info via email and zoom!)

Virtual NSD April 14 & 15 $25.00
More info and registration link here: Virtual NSD

Either way, anyone who registers for one of these events by March 18 will receive a bonus gift from me!

SAVE THE DATE!

On June 21, 2023 (the longest day of the year!) I will be hosting a 12-hour fundraiser crop to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association. I have family members who were afflicted with this terrible disease and I know many of you have too. I am still working out details, but I hope to do it both virtually AND in person (not sure how that will work) so please set aside that Wednesday on your calendar!!

Event Listing

I would love to have you join me for a cropping event! Read on for details about what we have coming up in the next few weeks:

8006 Old Madison Pike, Suite 3
Madison AL 35758

The sign on the building still says KRAV • MAGA which is the name of the previous self-defense studio, but hopefully when the new Mexican grocery store/taco truck (!) gets done moving in next door we can combine forces and both of us get our signs up soon.

I encourage you to bookmark the Event Listing page on my website for the most updated info and registration/payment links.

Happy Album Circle: If you are still considering a 2023 Happy Album, it’s not too late! Join us virtually on Wednesday, March 1 from 6:00 - 9:00 pm or in person on Tuesday, March 7 from 6:00 - 9:00.

Wednesday Day Crops: (Almost) Every Wednesday from 9:00 am - 2:30 pm. $10.00. March 1, March 15, March 22, March 29 (No Wednesday crop on the 8th because I’ll be neck deep in retreat prep!)

Layout Class: Third Tuesday of the month from 6:00 - 9:00 pm. March 21. This month we will be doing Cue the Blue and Painted Garden

Twice monthly Weekend Crops: Friday from noon - 9 pm and/or Saturday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.
1st March Crop: March 3 & 4
2nd March Crop: March 17 & 18 (our annual St. Patrick’s Day party!)

Sip & Sort: Friday, March 31, 6:00 pm to midnight
Bring your photos (or your phone or your laptop) and let’s get organized!

Weekly no-frills Zoom Crops: Every Tuesday from 10:00 am - noon Central Time (these happen every week, even if I am not able to join you!) Join the Facebook Group for the current month’s zoom link! If you are not on Facebook please email me for the zoom link. These are not classes, just a time for us to hang out together and work on our projects.

FREE SHIPPING

Starting Monday at noon Central you can get FREE SHIPPING on website orders of $80+! I love this promo because they can’t sell out of free shipping!

This is bound to be a busy launch day so the Queue-it system will be up and running. I don’t anticipate them selling out of any of the new products though so if you can bear to wait till after about 2 pm the website traffic usually dies down and you won’t have to wait.

As always, if you are local and would prefer for me to order anything for you, please EMAIL ME what you would like before 11:00 am Monday and I will add it to my order for pickup at a future crop. I do usually pay 2-day shipping so hopefully will have it by next weekend’s crop.

Painted Garden

Spring is just around the corner and the new Painted Garden collection is just what we need to get ready for the bright colors and flowers of the season!

The collection includes:
12x12 Painted Garden Album Cover (Vivid Violet with lilac foil)
Designer Paper Pack (12/pk)
Tone-on-Tone Paper Pack (6/pk)
Variety Mat Pack
Embellishments
Stickers

Just one punch with this collection, which my stuffed shelves are glad about. :) The Floral Peaks Border punch creates continuous floral scrapbook borders consisting of two flowers and abstract leafy peaks.

You know you want all the pieces, right? Remember that for this year, anytime you purchase the Buy-it-All Decorative Bundle within the first ten days after release you save 10%! If you don’t want the punch you can of course still purchase the items separately - and after the 10th the regular Decorative Bundle with just the paper/stickers/embellishments will continue to be available for one click.

National Scrapbook Day Exclusive Products!

In the “before times” the only way to get your hands on the exclusive NSD items was through an Advisor. But Covid’s silver lining was the rise of virtual events and the connections we’ve all made online! So you are able to purchase the items yourself!

Please note that if you are attending one of my in-person events, several of these items are included in your crop fee! Check with me before you order if you are planning to come to NSD!

12x12 NSD Album Cover $37.50
Project Recipe Kit $13.50
Coordinating Cardstock Pack $10.00
Laser Cut Bundle $16.50
Mini Embellishment Pack $2.00
Lemon Punch $24.50
Citrus Slice BMC $19.50

Or, if you want all the paper items, you’ll earn a FREE Accessory Paper Pack and Sketchbook when you purchase the Customer Bundle for $47.00! The Sketchbook will have directions to make six projects using the bundle products! Be aware that if you want to also do the regular Project Recipe, you’ll need to order an additional PR kit!

Thank you!

Are you excited?? I can’t wait to crop with you and to play with these beautiful new products!!

Happy Scrapbooking!
