New Online Card Club Begins in February

Let me know if you want to participate.

If you are new to card club, just email me your name, contact info (addy, and phone #, email) and we will go from there. If you have already participated, I have your info, just let me know that you want to join in February.

I have had a few inquiries about the next card club so I thought I would post now and give everyone PLENTY of time to see this and decide if they want to participate. 

What is an Online Card Club?

Many SU demos offer local card clubs. For the past year we have had an online card club.
If you aren't familiar with card clubs they are a group of ladies that agree to purchase $25 a month for 6 months. Each member has a turn at getting the hostess benefits. Hostess benefits are $25 in FREE product. You can use your $25 on anything in a current catalog including exclusive hostess items.

The difference between a local card club and an internet card club, there is an additional shipping charge to get the product to each member. 
Each member would receive materials from me to create a 2 cards each month. 
The upside of this is you can work on your projects on your own time.
I have a private blog site for you to log into and watch a video demo of the projects. You will be able to leave comments and questions to me or to other club members. 

Each member signs a contract agreeing to participate for 6 months. A card club only works if everyone participates. Members agree to submit their orders to me via email so that I can place one large order to get hostess benefits. The orders come to me and I repackage them, adding your card kits and then send an invoice via paypal for the second shipping. 

You are then able to log onto the blog anytime and complete your cards.

With each month I try to expose you to new products or techniques. I post a sample picture at the beginning of each month, along with a supply list. Some of the items I provide but some you will need to have in order to complete the cards as pictured. Both are indicated on the supply list.

I have had a great time with card club and I think the members have been pleased as well.

Here is a peek at one of the cards the current card club will make in January.

This month's project uses DSP, Vintage Trinkets, Jewelry Tag Punch, and Twill Tape. The kit arrives with pre-cut paper, punched paper, twill tape, a brad and safety pin (from vintage trinkets).
There are two coordinating but different cards in each months kit.

Tommy Tuesday

I was so blessed to have my friend, Tom. I learned a lot from him and as I look back, I still learn from him. I haven't seen him in 15 years or so, but for 10 years he was my dear friend.

A few weeks ago I decided it was time to pull out those awful (poor quality) pictures from my past. They have been in a box for ages and I think even though the chapter might be closed, I still have wonderful memories of friends from a different time in my life.

They are worth scrapping too.

The pictures are a mess and it is a challenge to arrange them in a pleasing way- but the end result is worth it.

Do you have old memories in a box? Are you not scrapping them because they are not connected to your life now? I challenge you to pull some out and make a page.
