August Workshop ~ Cherry-O WOTG

*** UPDATED to include date August 28th 1-3:30pm or 6-8:30pm *** RSVP by Aug 11th


In August, I’m highlighting the Cherry-O WOTG kit. This is such a fun kit…and creating bowls of cherries is super fun. If you’d like to read more about this kit, head on over to MyCTMH website for the details. The Basic Kit is $29.95. You can order it straight from my site, or email me photoenhanced@gmail.com and we’ll get you set up.

Join me in August (UPDATED: August 28th from 1-3:30pm, or 6-8:30pm, please RSVP by Augsut 11th!!) to create a wonderful 2-page Layout, or 6 special Cards. The patterns we will be using are not found in any of Jeanette's How-To Books.

In addition to the 2-page layout or 6 special cards, you will have plenty of paper left over to create even more using Jeanette's How-To Books! I'm currently working on this workshop now and by adding a few extra embellishment items, I have been able to create Four 2-page Layouts (that's 8 layouts so far), as well as 12 cards! I still have plenty of paper remaining and can't wait to see what else I can make to share with all of you!

Here is a picture of the 2-page layout you can create with me!

Here is a picture of the 6 special cards you can create. There are 3 designs, 2 of each design.

The details:

1. Are these items available only on a MyCTMH site?
   Yes! We will only be offering these items for sale on MyCTMH site.
2. Can I purchase other items at full retail along with these discounted My Stickease, My Reflections Level 1 kits and Level 2 paper packets on the same MyCTMH order?
   Yes! You will be able to mix and mingle the items for sale from the $2, $4, $6, for 8...It’s YOU We Appreciate campaign along with regularly priced items for sale on MyCTMH site.
3. Is this campaign a “while supplies last” campaign?
   Yes. We have provided a many, many items numbers for you to purchase from during the campaign. So there is ample supply on hand but each item is while supplies last.
4. Will the purchase of the discounted My Stickease, My Reflections Level 1 kits and Level 2 paper packets count toward my customer receiving the Stamp of the Month at a discount or even free?
   Yes! Your purchases for the campaign count toward the Stamp of the Month incentive.
5. How much is shipping/handling for the $2, $4, $6, for 8...It’s YOU We Appreciate campaign deals?
   Regular shipping and handling applies and will not change for this campaign. All MyCTMH shipping prices are based on the weight of items ordered, not the price of the items ordered. This means that shipping prices well reflect the costs of shipping even discounted products.
6. Is there a limit to the number of My Stickease, Level 1, and Level 2 paper packets a customer can purchase on one order?
   Nope! There is no limit to the number of items you can purchase on one order.

Topstitch Workshop on the Go

Hello Everyone! Long time no see!!

I finally got some time to play recently and finished the given layouts and cards in the Topstitch Workshop on the Go (WOTG)!!

I decided to take a picture of the contents after I finished.....lol. Some items are missing, but it gives you an idea!

The idea behind the WOTG's is to create any of the following combinations and have used up all of your embellishments.

Option #1: Create the Special 2-page Layout AND the Additional 2-page Layout
Option #2: Create the Special 2-page Layout AND the Special set of Cards
Option #3: Create the Special 2-page Layout AND the Additional set of Cards
Option #4: Create the Special set of Cards AND the Additional set of Cards
Option #5: Create the Special set of Cards AND the Additional 2-page Layout
Option #6: Create the Additional 2-page Layout AND the Additional set of Cards

The options are endless!!

WOTG Kit Includes:

• Topstitch Level 2 Paper Pack
• My Acrylix Love is in the Air (Not available for purchase individually)
• Mini-Medley Accents Colonial White Collection
• Workshop Guide

All for $29.95 (Plus tax, shipping and handling)

To make the layouts and cards as I have, I purchased the additional embellishments:

• Dimensional Elements Hearts
• Clear Sparkles
• Embroidery Floss Neutral Assortment

All for an additional $9.45, making the grand total $39.40!!

Not a bad price to make 4 layouts and 12 cards!! And I still have plenty of Paper remaining!!

NOTE: I did have to add another set of Dimensional Elements Hearts and Mini-Medley Accents Colonial White Collection to complete the layouts as shown below.
