APRIL 2017 Classes & Specials


Hello Friends~

Happy Spring!  The days are getting longer, and the spring snow storms are bringing us the moisture we desperately need in Colorado.

Time is running out to take advantage of 25% off Thin-Cuts during the month of March.  To date, the Dreamin' Big thin cut bundle is SOLD OUT.  Others remain in stock - it's a great deal! Check them all out here.

Its hard to believe, we are coming to the end of the Seasonal Expressions 1(SE1).  April 2017 is the last month to make those purchases of products contained within the SE1 (the Annual Inspirations goes through July 2017).  Due to limitations in corporate inventory, I've had to change up the order I'm planning to do showcase the last two paper packs.  I'm planning to showcase "Some Kinda Wonderful" in April and "Hello Lovely" in May.

However, all orders will have to be placed in April for both Some Kinda Wonderful and Hello Lovely, since all products will retire on May 1st.  And...a reminder, all products are while supplies last.



In March, I debuted the Card Buffet workshops...I hope to continue these in the coming months.  Its an opportunity for you to make as many cards as you can in a 2 hour time frame.  Cards range from Happy Birthday, Sympathy, Thinking of You, and more.  Even with my "rules" they had to follow, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Here's just a sampling of some of the cards they could create.

Feel free to share this blog post with your friends who LOVE to stamp, scrapbook and paper-craft.  I always appreciate your referrals...and I love to reward YOU too! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued friendship and support...I truly appreciate YOU!

Helping you preserve the memories that matter most...
Julie
