December 18th Club

Dec. 18th is the next club date… and it’s coming up fast. I will be in charge of beverages, I am looking for someone(s) to provide the snack, if you are interested let me know.

I would like to do a Yankee Swap for our December club, where each person brings one wrapped, unmarked gift, a $10 value. Each person when they arrive will draw a number and number 1 will go first to draw a present that isn’t their own and open it, then 2 will either choose what number 1 has or take a different present and open it, and 3rd person can choose from 1 or 2, or choose a present. Opening of gifts and swapping takes place until all the presents have been chosen. Finally, the person who picked first gets to choose from all the gifts or keep what she has already received. In the end, the gift you are holding is the gift you take home.… If you are interested in this please let me know by Dec. 3rd for each person has time to search for their item(s). I think it will be fun and its something we haven’t done before… & its way easier than Secret Santa, we will do this right at 6:30p so if are able to come at 6:15p please do so.

What else is included in this email is: Monthly Challenge, Cost, & January Incentive to have a friend join.

There will be two Club Challenges for December; you have the option to do one or the other and yes you may do both… First one, will be to those that wish to participate, is to stamp a repetitive image 5 times per 1 person, on white cardstock in black ink. If you choose a sentiment please do something other than just “Happy Birthday”, you do not need to be exclusive to close to my heart stamps. Example of how it’s done: Say I choose the stamp set of the snowman, I would stamp him 5 times for Brandy, then 5 for Barb…etc. then at club each member would receive their images. There are 5 of us, unless Tricia & Deb decide to join us.. Please keep image size larger than 2x2 if you can. Those that participate will receive a FREE set of craft jars pg 105.

Club Challenge Second is this if you choose to accept it is, when you purchase more than $50 (subtotal) will receive a FREE Cottage Edge Anchors on pg 92, just in time for the spring catalog.

Also, if we can get Tricia & Deb to join us for December the cost will go $24 w/ $5 bling fee. Deb, I haven’t heard from at all (Allison have you spoke with her?) and Tricia is on the fence… so crossing fingers she jumps onto our side.

Also, Have a Friend sign up for Club in January to commit to the remainder of club; you each will receive a FREE Spring harmony Sassy strands pack! Sorry this does not include Deb & Tricia… as they are already on the fence… So ladies our goal is to have 8 ppl, I think we could do it… just remember the cost will go down to $18 w/ $5 bling fee if this happens… we have some time… so start bragging about Club and why you are part of it…

Below on the board is what we will be doing for layout and cards for December. Please bring your scissors, adhesive, & if you have a scor-pal that would be useful as well.



Questions or Concerns let me know.

Creative Play Group: Now Enrolling Sign up before August 31st

Monthly Creative Play Group
AKA: Workshops
(this is NOT the same as My Monthly Club)
Starting on Sunday, September 14th
Looking for 8-9 people who want to play!


I will be starting Creative Play Group starting in September, the format for this Club is a different way for me to do WORKSHOPS!!

Please read the following very carefully and e-mail me with questions before you decide if you want to join this Creative Play Group. Every year, CTMH comes out with amazing new programs and tools to bless our businesses and customers and this year was NO exception! I am so EXCITED to share with you a NEW and improved format to our monthly Play Groups (formerly known as Workshops). These changes will start with the new ordering in August and the projects in September.

The following features of our Play Group will remain the same:

* You will receive a paper packet and accessory packet to finish a 2 page layout.

I will walk you through the layout & share any tips I've learned or any upgrades I do on my pages.

* You will be learning new ideas and techniques each month

* You will get to try out new products.

* You will have a turn to be hostesses sometime within your 10 month commitment

* You will receive goodies for show and tell, filling your Connections Club card, and bringing friends who join Play Group.

* You'll be able to build your collection of beautiful papers & accessories slowly over time.

* You will have a lot of fun with friends while getting something done!

The fabulous BENEFITS you will receive under this new program:

* With your project you will receive a beautiful, full color brochure (to keep) of the project with cutting diagrams, assembly instructions and more BONUS projects (2 more 2 page layouts PLUS a few smaller projects)

* We will be creating a 2 page layout with the potential to finish two more layouts during your Play Group time for a total of 3 layouts! You will have all that paper and My Stickease needed to create all the layouts on the brochure as well as more paper to do more projects at home on your own.

NOTE: The designs of the layouts we will be making are NOT in Cherish or Imagine! Collect these NEW designs and add them to your idea file.

* As a playgroup member, you will get a BONUS 5th pattern (during each 4 month Idea Book Period) for FREE, as a gift from me!

* You can choose to create cards with your supplies instead of scrapbook pages during your playgroup time with the purchase of our NEW Originals book (available Sept 1st).

Since you'll be receiving full Level 2 paper packs, you'll have to option to customize your pages by swapping out colors or patterns to fit what you want to do instead of what my examples show, in case you like other paper patterns or colors better.

You will receive the shopping list for next month's project and be able to customize your order to your scrapbooking goals.

You WILL be able to see the next month's projects when you come to your playgroup either in person or on Creative Whimsy Clubs & Classes site.

Here are the NEW IMPROVEMENTS:

* You will receive a "creative toy kit" (instead of a project packet) that will include a full Level 2 paper pack, Level 2 My Stickease, and coordinating accessories to complete the featured two page layout. The extra paper and My Stickease, as well as any other leftover supplies are for you to create the extra layout and projects or to take home and use however you desire.
* You will be empowered with the valuable skill to cut your own paper, thus allowing you to crank out more pages at home on your own...faster, simpler, and easier! You will be amazed at how easy the cutting for these projects is!
* You will order and pay for your "toys" the month prior (this will be your Play Group order) with the option to add full packs of embellishments needed to complete the bonus projects. You will also have the option to add anything else to your order that you want, and if you're like me, you want it all!

Why would you want to be a CTMH Consultant?

Here is the list of "My Why's"

1. Love the products, Acrylix stamps are easy to use & store. Love the three different levels of scrapbooking.
2. Consultants always are helpful and willing to share what they had done and learned with you. It's a wonderful support system!
3. Even if you think you are not creative enough, don't have time, or too far behind... being a consultant helps you tap into your creativity, gives you ideas of finding the time ex: promote in the grocery line, work on carry along projects at Dr. offices, work a once a month club, etc. And being too far behind... you are scrapbooking life... life is continual!! :-)
4. Love the concept of if I am buying it anyway might as well make a profit and get wonderful discounts.
5. My major why was to meet others that loved to scrapbook, make cards, and be who they are... My Scrapbooking Sisters! I love meeting people and working with them with their projects... keeping your mind open and fresh to new ideas!!
6. CTMH offers workshops, conference calls, tutorials & more. They are available to use by phone & email, and are willing to work with you to the best of their abilities.
7. The bulletin boards are awesome, its a lot like blogging to be honest! :-)
8. Who wouldn't want to share these wonderful products!! I am not saying I only use CTMH, as I use all sorts of other products... but over all the products they carry sell themselves!!

If you are interested in learning more about becoming a CTMH consultant email me and I will give you some information to help you make your decision.
