Hey all! Just popping in to wish you a happy National Scrapbooking Month!

Close to My Heart has an awesome special for you this month to celebrate -

"Free to Be Me" paper pack collection is an awesome deal! For only $5 with a $50 qualifying order you get exclusive B&T papers, UV coated patterned cardstock and printed VELLUM!!! I've seen this pack in person and I. Am. Excited!!!  This pack is very on trend and it's sized just right!

Join me for an all day crop on Saturday, May 24th from 10am - 10pm and you can get your own pack of "Free to Be Me". Your crop cost is free when you place a qualifying order and order the "Free to Be Me" paper pack. This purchase also gets you into the "Free to Be Me" workshop I'll be teaching at the crop. Lunch and snacks are also included. Please RSVP to me by 5/14 to save your spot. I'll be placing an order that night to make sure we all get our goodies in time for the crop. If you want to get your order sooner, use the "Free to Be Me" Crop order on my website (stephaniehuber.ctmh.com) for your chance to be the Mystery Hostess and earn the Hostess Credit.

You can also join us at the crop without the order: cost is $15 and includes lunch, snacks and crop space. I will have items on hand if you need something while you work. Email me by 5/14 to save your space.

But there's more! With your $50 order to qualify for the "Free to Be Me" paper pack, you also are eligible for the May Stamp of the Month: You've Got a Friend for $5. This is a great way to "double-dip" and save even more!

Scrapbooking pages

Now that the holiday rush is over, I have put away the last of the Christmas decorations and thrown away the last of the toy packaging. Now, it is time for me to scrapbook. I love the doldrums of January and February because, to me, it means I get to spend a lot of time in my craft room! It also means hunting will soon be over and when that happens, not only do I get my husband back, but I get to go to crops! I did a day crop this past weekend and finished up my son's first year album (it only took me 3 1/2 years to do) but I have a few more scheduled for the next few weeks.

If you are a customer of mine, check your January newsletter - I made some changes to my Crop in February. Payments are due to me to hold your spot and it is filling up quickly!

Now on to some of my scrapbook pages.

Here are two layouts I did this weekend to finish up my son's album. One of the ways I can get a lot done at these crops is that I use up my stash of layouts I make for workshops, classes and swaps I participate in so you'll see some old and new paper packs. I'll share some more layouts with you over the next few days. Enjoy!

Winter Weekend Crop

Now that the holiday rush is over, it's time to sit down and enjoy some peace and quiet... and get some scrapbooking done! I am hosting a Winter Weekend Crop in Lancaster February 10-12.

Get the application here.

Each guest will get a large work space in a well-lit room in a very comfy chair, a goodie bag, meals, contest and giveaways all weekend, a brand new Spring/Summer Idea Book and be undisturbed from your family while you crop till you drop! I will have supplies on hand for sale and mini-classes throughout the weekend. Cost is $150 and due by February 1. Space is very limited so don't wait - this will fill up!
