That means you will be able to try a lot of different product at my Mix Crops and Art Parties! Whether you buy the kit long distance (“To Go”) or come to my home, your kit will include all the supplies you need including pre-cut Cricut elements and additional crafting supplies from my inventory. Extra Perk: The Kit you order (by registering through my Blog by the RSVP deadline) will count towards a Stamp of the Month purchase or Monthly special! If you want to add anything else to your order to qualify for those promotions, please let me know once you have registered. Are you long distance or unavailable on the crop dates? No Problem! Send me an email to place your crop club kit order and I will invoice you VIA paypal for the kit and any additional costs (e.g. $6 for shipping). Your kit will include a detailed summary of layout instructions including a photo of each sample project. 1 Margot Dallstream - Blog: www.MargotsMix.com – Website: http://nightowl.ctmh.com Email address: MargotsMix@gmail.com ****Margot’s Mix Crop Club Info*** I have a BRAND NEW Margot’s Mix Crop Club and I think you are going to like it!!! If you’re interested in several crops listed in the schedule for the year ahead, the club will be a terrific benefit! Here are some of the highlights for joining: 1st. You will get a FREE Annual Inspirations Catalog and supplementary Seasonal Expressions and Holiday Expressions Catalogs. Note: In the past I have been able to give these away to customers. But my cost for these publications has increased so now the retail cost is $6 + Tax and S&H for the Annual Inspirations catalog and about $2 each for the supplementary catalogs. 2nd. It’s a No Commitment Club and an Ongoing Club. Since it’s a no commitment club you get to pick and choose which crops you’d like to attend. This way if you absolutely do not like a paper collection or featured project, you can skip that month but read on to find out why you will want to come to as many as possible! The club starts in September 2015 but since it is ongoing there’s no “end” date and new people can join in at any time. 3rd.We will be creating a MIX of Paper Crafting Projects at my scrapbook crops and art parties! In some months we’ll craft three 2-page scrapbook layouts and in other months we’ll craft items to give as gifts (or keep for yourself – I won’t tell), stacks of cards, and goodies for party or home décor. See the schedule above for a summary of the projects offered each month. 4th.There is a Flat Fee of $35 for Scrapbook Layout Crops. For the Scrapbook Layout Crops the workshop kit will include a full paper packet, matching complements, and marching embellishment assortment. The remainder of the fee will be for supporting product for the crop products. The fee for crops where we’ll create other projects may vary depending on what will be created. 5th.Here’s the exciting big change to my Crop Club program. I will be keeping a Customer Loyalty Rewards (punch) Card for you on your purchases through me and my online gatherings. Every $10 in products ordered (before Tax and S&H) will earn a punch on your card. Here are all the ways you can earn punches: When you pay a monthly crop club fee (e.g. $35 for the scrapbook crops), a punch for each $10 of the cost. If you order any additional supplies with your crop club registration/order. If you bring any outside orders from non-Club members to the crops. If you join any of my own online gatherings (I have one going every month) to place an order outside of the crop club orders for Close to my Heart supplies. Studio J (digital scrapbooking) orders will count too if you “join” one of my gatherings during checkout. If you purchase “retail priced” cash & carry products at my events. If you bring a friend who joins the crop club, you will earn a punch once they’ve registered for their first crop. 6th.Earn Hostess Rewards on Punches. When you fill your card to first hostess level of $150 (15 punches), you can choose to take $25 in Hostess Rewards. OR you can build them up and earn more punches for higher hostess reward levels and half-price items! 2 Margot Dallstream - Blog: www.MargotsMix.com – Website: http://nightowl.ctmh.com Email address: MargotsMix@gmail.com 3 Margot Dallstream - Blog: www.MargotsMix.com – Website: http://nightowl.ctmh.com Email address: MargotsMix@gmail.com Mix Crops: The Not-so-Fine Print Friday Evenings -- 7pm-Midnight TIMES YOU BRING A-B-P-S ADHESIVE – tape runner (temporary and permanent), 3D Foam Tape, Glue Dots, Bonding Memories Glue Pens If you need to order any, you can find our selection of adhesives on page 150 of the Annual Inspirations catalog. And I keep a small inventory on hand for sale. BEVERAGE – of your choice; I can provide glassware and openers PHOTOS – optional – I personally like to start and finish my layouts all at once but other guests find it better to assemble pages here and then add their photos and journaling back at home. Some guests do a mix. It’s all up to you! SMILES – this is happy YOU time. Laughter welcome too. MUSIC – I have an IPOD with several playlists and genres but guest input always welcome; if you have an Ipod with favorites, feel free to bring it along to put on my speaker docking station. MUNCHIES – something neat enough to nibble on while paper crafting. And if I’m inspired ~ a dessert treat. SPACE – counter space, a cubby for your purse, and a pull out side counter big enough for a scrapbook layout. YOUR KIT with the Paper Packet and Supplies you ordered along with any additional project Elements I am preparing ahead of time. I’LL PROVIDE AT THE CROP/Art Party YOU WILL GET If you are unavailable on the Mix Crop Date OR ordering your kit long distance, your kit will be available after the crop weekend. I can mail it to you ($6 extra mailing cost will apply) or we can make arrangements for you to pick it up. WORK AREAS WILL HAVE Project Baskets: Stamp Sets, Ink Pads, Tools, Accessories used for each project and full color sample displayed. At each guest’s station: Paper Trimmer, Pen, Pencil & Eraser, Scissors & MicroTip Scissors, Acrylic Grid, Blotter Paper, Stamp Scrubber & Mist. This is about you! Make the projects your own and enjoy the process! 4 Margot Dallstream - Blog: www.MargotsMix.com – Website: http://nightowl.ctmh.com Email address: MargotsMix@gmail.com
