4. January CTMH Classes

Magic Class (formerly known as Cherish) - Tuesday, January 11th
10 am - 12 pm

In the Summer Idea Book, the new scrapbooking how-to book, Magic, was released. There are 35 new layouts, and it includes techniques to make your pages, as well as cards and other papercrafting projects, interactive. Beginning in January, we are going to work our way through the techniques in the book. Prior to each month, I will send out information regarding pre-class work and items needed to complete the pages in class. If there is a template required, please print beforehand. I’ll e-mail the templates, or you can get them from the cd that came with the Magic book.

Cost: FREE - unless you need to purchase any items from me during class

Supplies: CTMH Level 2 My Reflections paper pack (purchased prior to class), 12 inch paper trimmer, scissors, adhesive (double-sided tape or tape runners work the best), clear ruler (optional), pencil (optional), Magic (if you own them)

Note: Would you like the chance to earn FREE Close To My Heart products? Join our monthly Hostess Club. This is an “open” club, so there is no monthly commitment or requirement. Whoever participates, by placing a $15 minimum order, will be placed on a list. Attending class is optional, but why miss out on the fun? Depending on our sales, the top name (or two or three or four, etc.) from the list will receive $20 in Hostess Rewards each. Participation is optional, but in order for your name to move up the list to receive Hostess Rewards, you have to participate that month. If you choose not to participate, your name will fall to the bottom of the list and you will not be eligible for Hostess Rewards. You may participate as often or as little as you like, and you may join the club at any time. Please contact me for complete details or with any questions you may have.
