Text Box: Happy New Year!!
Text Box: Can you believe another year is gone.  I don’t know about you but 2008 flew by.  I guess its true the older you get the faster the time goes by.  
I am really ready to get back to scrapbooking and crafting something other than Christmas.   I am working on ideas to get us going for the new year.  If you have some ideas or techniques that you would Text Box: like to do, please let me know, sometimes finding new ideas is really hard.  I also was thinking of having a Scrapbook layout night.  We’ll get together and complete a two page layout and throw in some new techniques along the way..  The cost will depend on what you want.  If you want to keep all the leftover paper from a Level 2 pack then the cost would be the price of the Text Box: paper pack and what ever embellishments we use. I thought this might help some of us who have gotten slightly behind or like me way behind on our pages get some done.
One last thing,  I wanted to take a sort of head count of those that are still interested in “card class night”. 
 Please let me know your thoughts.

Text Box: month.  Watch for the next one on Tuesday, January 13th.  We now have a great library of Art & Soul episodes and the feedback the company is getting is that viewers want more time than just a two-week interval to see the new episode.  By moving to one per month, we can better focus on the project, the                                technique, and the                      discounted stamp                           set, while still offering                   an extensive library                        of past episodes to                      choose from.                                  Text Box: Recently CTMH started airing an online program called Art & Soul.  They have showcased our products and taught some really cool ideas.  With a lot a great feedback and suggestions from viewers  they are promising to improve the episodes starting this month and here’s how:
Every show will now include a focus technique, as well as the full re-creation of a project from beginning to end, done in a style we call “sugar rush” — speedy, set to music, and so tasty!
New shows will launch once per month on the second Tuesday of the Text Box: The once-a-month schedule also coordinates well with our Idea Book cycle, so we will focus on a new paper packet each moth.  
If you have missed any or even all of the episodes you can check them out on my website.
