Welcome to your new collection for February . . . Big Deal!
With the first of the month
Today is opening day for Boot Camp registration. We look forward to offering the inspiration and companionship needed to accomplish your crafting goals for 2014. My favorite part of this boot camp is that it doesn't require push ups, sit ups, or long morning runs. You'll just be sweating it out in your crafting space!
We're packing and gearing up for our first Scrapbook Expo in Grapevine, TX, on February 21-22. I'll be teaching a series of three Efficient Scrapbooking workshops and look forward to meeting up with several members at the show. Be prepared to welcome some newbies to the fold!
With the migration of monthly membership processing to the shopping cart completed, we continue to work on a few of the challenges created by our unique business model. (With-kit orders, membership add-ons and amendments are apparently not typical in most monthly clubs.) Phase three of our website maintenance is about to begin. This includes an overhaul of the Community Forum, revisions to the "Join" landing page, and a major update to our Gallery. These improvements are absolutely critical as the current software is no longer supported after serving us well for the past decade. Please pardon our dust during the remodel.
What's Ahead?
With winter's fierce grip on the nation, we're beyond ready for signs of spring. We plan to celebrate the upcoming budding season with a theme suggested by member Jodi B.--Trees. With the neutral tones and images of the collection, subtle textures of the paper, and the handmade specialty stock we've ordered, you'll want to build a nest for this kit!
Kit and Color Details

Thanks for all the exciting updates, Tricia! I've already signed up for Boot Camp! And I love having all the information and projects posted on the blog that used to be in Scrap Rap format. SO MUCH MORE to enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteI like this format, all the information from Page 2 of the Scrap Rap. So helpful to get the news from Tricia, updates, ink colors and next months kit theme. I could print this off! THANKS!
ReplyDeleteI love all the info too, but I'm afraid I'll miss an article.
ReplyDeleteIf you enter your email address in the "Follow Our Blog by Email", you'll get an email every time this blog is updated, and you won't miss ANYTHING.
DeleteThank you for always providing us with cutting edge projects and materials to keep us inspired! I signed up for Boot Camp and cannot wait until it starts. Thanks, Tricia, and all the folks at Club Scrap!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother vote for the new Scrap Rap format - visiting this blog is my daily habit, right along with my coffee! I love all the additional information and inspiration (and you even link up the fonts for us - a big smile for this lazy girl!) I'm eagerly awaiting Boot Camp and I'm imagining all of the possibilties for the Big Deal collection!
ReplyDeleteOooo Trees! Sounds like a great kit, how exciting! There goes my birthday money :) Boot Camp sounds like it's exactly what I need since I tend to hoard my kits-I've already signed up. Thanks so much for this wonderful opportunity to have lots of fun and create layouts, cards and finally get some of those hoarded projects made.
ReplyDeleteWhen you overhaul the Community Forum in Galleria-will the kits section that shows all of the CS kits still remain?
Yes, we are already exploring ways to keep that useful reference in the gallery.
DeleteThanks Tricia!
DeleteCant wait to meet you all at the Scrapbook EXPO!!!
