Do you miss the old warehouse sales CTMH used to have?  Now they do a cyber-sale instead.  Since everyone enjoys shopping for bargains this time of year...NOW is the time for THAT SALE... and you’ll be tickled to get some fabulous deals beginning at 12:00 AM  on December 1. CTMH will add new items to the “While Supplies Last” section on  the marybeth.ctmh.com shopping page. You will find a wide variety of paper and coordinating accessories, all with a substantial markdown. You will also find that most of the items that are currently available will also see a further markdown at that time.

To sweeten the deal even more, from December 1–31, all orders placed online that reach or exceed $50 will also include a free Bonding Memories® glue pen (Z553)—a $4.50 value!  So shop early, because these deals are only available while supplies last.  Husbands can handle this type of shopping...a wish list with the website marybeth.ctmh.com in bold letters at the top... could be a magical thing!

So what are you waiting for?  Oh yeah...wait until the sale starts on December 1st!  Be sure to join the EZ invite when you check out.

HAPPY
Studio J scrapbooking makes me happy.  I have been pushing to get pages done to finish my membership this month.  Now no membership is required.  Sweet!!!!  I just submitted 18 layouts.  So, of course that is a reason to be happy.  Now, you can do 4+ layouts at a time any time.  But as you may guess by some of my photos of cards, etc, I don't have the greatest camera...don't have a light box to get the settings just right, etc.  However, at some of the events we are involved in...other people take great high quality photos and share them on facebook.  (HS football, School dances, HC pageant)  I can download those photos, save them, upload them into Studio J. and do my layouts.  If the photos are web-quality, I wouldn't recommend it because they won't be well, high quality.  Using great pictures is another thing that makes me happy!  So here is one of the layouts that was quick to make...

I will be putting EZ-invite orders on my online business site and when you want to order your layouts, join the group order.  It helps us out on free hostess rewards and if you do enough to push it to the next hostess level, I will contact you so you can get some free items too.  Would you like to do a group class to learn to use Studio J????  Let me know...I would be happy to help you learn.

Christmas is coming... and I am oh so excited to do these layouts with you.  Cost is the same as usual: $19.50 with the tax and shipping already added in.  The 5 bonus cards are easy to put together and are just in time for the holidays.  We will be meeting on December 11, Tuesday evening or December 13 afternoon or evening.  Also available time slot is Saturday morning on the 15th.  I know December can be busy, so if you would like a pre-cut/stamped kit... that will be no problem.  There will be extra shipping to get it to you or you can pick it up in Orem. Sign up soon.

Also available for the cardmakers.... the Christmas Card Workshop if you missed it in November... only $10 for 8 cards... 2 of each of the following designs.

We will also be doing  a Wedding Card Workshop which will cost $10.50...  2 of each design except triple of the little heart tags with matching envelopes.  Same times and places, just different projects.  The  card workshops were adapted from our swap...so thanks ladies!!!!!
