Last call for Spring!

April 30th is the final day to order from the January-April Sesaonal Expressions catalog.  With just two weeks left, certain items will become unavailable as the stock supply sells out. Because the wonderful stamp sets are manufactured at the home office in Utah, all of them will be available right up until the end.

A few things are sticking around for the next catalog - the pink, white, and sea glass albums (YAY!),  and these items - even though you won't see them listed in the new catalog:
Z3316 Shimmer Brush—Gold
Z3317 Thin Cuts Basic Hearts
Z3318 Thin Cuts Basic Circles
Z3312 Gold Glitter Gems

Tip of the month - A working album

When you purchase a post bound album and pages from me, I will load the pages for you and provide the spacers to make your album complete.  The number of pages in an album vary depending on your scrapbook style.  The albums will hold a maximum of 50 pages.  This high number will work just fine if your completed pages are flat - not a lot of foam tape or bulky embellishments.
I like the foam tape and bulky embellishments, so I like 35 pages in my book.

Maybe you are a chronological scrap booker, or your book is for a particular event, such as a long vacation.  You might not be sure how many pages need to be in your book.  Using a D ring binder as temporary storage until you finish your book is a great way to work. You can flip and move pages easily, and load the right number of pages into your post bound album the first time!
Any D ring binder will make a working album.  Close to My Heart has 3 styles on sale in the clearance section for $17.50.  Ruby Floral, Cocoa Damask, and black.

April's Bells & Whistles - Soccer Days

April's Bells & Whistles workshop is a soccer page!  The workshop is Friday evening, April 28th from 7PM until 9PM.  Please RSVP by the 18th so I can have all the needed supplies.  Cost is $10.

What is a Crop?

What is a crop?  Just a time set aside for a group of women to get together, socialize and scrapbook. The crop is open from 9am until 9pm or anytime in between that works for you. You will have table space, access to my Cricut and cartridges, my stamps (over 250) and the whole range of CTMH ink pads.  Bring your own stash and work on whatever paper project you have going.  We are a small group, always looking for others that share our passion.  Come find a friend, or bring  your own buddy, all are welcome.

Cost of the crop is $5 or free if you place a $10 or greater order.  Lunch, dinner and drinks are provided.  While I am a Close to My Heart consultant, whatever products  you have in your stash are welcome.  There is always the chance that you will use up what you do have and eventually need something I sell!

I hold a monthly open crop at my house, with plenty of space for YOU!  I'm located in Madison, Alabama, please contact me for the address at decoratingdays@gmail.com. 

April's crop is Saturday, April 22.  Hope to see you there!
