NATURE WALK is back in stock but in LIMITED QUANTITIES so hurry and grab yours if you're interested in this layout class. We've also moved this class to April 25th to allow everyone to get their supplies ordered and get registered

This class makes three double-page layouts and you have several kit options to choose from 😊 During the Class, we will be teaching using the Signature Kit, but will walk you through fully completing the layouts with the Essential Kit

The Essential Kit (this month, you'll need to order the products below directly from my website):
  • 166935 - Nature Walk DSP & Stickers
  • 166930 - Exploring Nature Coordinating Cardstock

Class Only Option $30 (you are responsible for getting the contents of the Kit - no physical product will be mailed). But you still must purchase this option.  

SIGN UP HERE for April's Class  - you'll use the drop-down menu to choose the Class Only Kit (this month is a little different because of the limited quantities left for Nature Walk). If you're wanting to create along with us on March 28th, you'll need to order your Kit no later than March 15th. While this doesn't guarantee that you'll receive your Kit in time, we are optimistic that you will. 


After registering, you'll receive an email with a link to our Private FB Group where the classes will be taught. You will have extended access to these classes so you can watch when it's convenient for you as well as rewatch if you need any clarification. PLUS we are always here to help answer any questions and help along the way!

FAQ:
Q: Can I use my Stampin' Rewards or Bonus Cash for my Kit purchase?
A: If you are purchasing the "Class Only" option, then Yes. If you decide to purchase the Essential or Signature Kit, you will NOT be able to use any rewards.

Q: Will I earn Stampin' Rewards on my Kit purchase?
A: If you are a customer of Katy or Andrea's then, YES, we will enter your order under your online ID and you will EARN Stampin' Rewards, just as if you were ordering the products yourself.

Q: Will there be any instructions or guides that we can print vs watching videos?
A: There will be a guide (with sketches) each month. You can save and view on your computer, or print off. There will be no "instructions" so you'll need to watch the videos for further instructions or additional design details.

Q: What if my FB name is different than the one I use to register?
A: When requesting to joint he FB Group, there is a question that ask you for any discrepancies in your FB Name and the name you used to order the Kit. Please provide any details in that box so we can get your accepted to the group seamlessly. 

Q: What if the Class has already passed but I still want the Kit?
A: As long as the Kit contents are still available, you can purchase the Kit at any time. You'll be added to the FB Group and have immediate access to the Classes while you wait for your Kit to arrive. 

Q: What if I purchase the Kit and you realize that the main staple of the Class is sold out and not returning (i.e. the DSP is no longer available). Will I get a refund?
A: GREAT question! You will NOT get a refund, but you will have the option of getting credit for a future Class. It will be your responsibility to respond in a timely manner to use the credit for a future Class that peaks your interest.

Q: I don't have access to a Cricut or Silhouette machine, will you be discounting my Kit purchase or mailing me the titles?
A: We will NOT be mailing out any physical titles nor be discounting the price of the Kit(s). The titles, while pretty on the layouts, are not necessary for the completion of the Class. They are simply a perk for signing up for the Class. You can use the Stickers that come with the Kit for you title or stamps/stickers to add alternate titles.

Last Chance Products...

I usually don't got to the "last chance" section of my website, but as I'm perusing the things that I need, the discounted products will pop up. Well, today, I decided to pop on over and was excided to see so many good things over there!

Here are some of my favorites and more heavily discounted items...

Coordinating Cardstock packages are a GREAT way to increase your cardstock stash without having to buy multiple sheets of only one color. As soon as I get these in, I divide by color instead of leaving them in their "collection"...

-------------------------------------------------------------------
I use this stamp all the time....graph image, pennant, and simple sentiments....yes, please!

-------------------------------------------------------------------
This is perhaps one of the PRETTIEST paper combos - one side of the patterned paper has little gold touches on them, perfect for those Fall photos...

-------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm ALL about Scrapbooking Kits - I usually do my own thing with them but enjoy the exclusive paper, diecuts, and the instructions just in case I need some inspiration...




-------------------------------------------------------------------
Whether you are a scrapbooker or enjoy making cards, these dies are PERFECT! 
And the stitching detail around the edges make these panels pop!


Keep in mind that EVERYTHING is while supplies last so head on over to the Last Chance Section of my website and take a look at these products as well as many others!

NEW YEAR - NEW PRODUCTS...

HAPPY NEW YEAR - I know I'm a week late, but that's how life has been lately! 


I enjoyed a few days off which were spent in basketball gyms watching the start to the tail-end of our youngest son's high school basketball career...

I cooked (and cooked and cooked and cooked) my family's favorites...watched a lot of Hallmark Christmas shows, and enjoyed whatever time our kids were afford me. These photos are from my Documenting December Album using the Remembering Christmas Kit I reimagined by adding additional flip pages in this YT Video...

And...I played with NEW PRODUCT that released TODAY, January 6th...


Stay tuned for some EXCITING news too!!!
