Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous Fall Wreath!

I don't know when I've had so much fun putting together a project as when I made this gorgeous wreath.  While we're waiting to hear from family on memorial service arrangements, I'm trying to get my class schedule back on track.  First, I want to show you my wreath.

Isn't this gorgeous?   This is my version of the one in the catalog.  This is what we'll be making at our September Stamp Club.  The deadline for signing up for the September Club was to be today.  Because of the death in our family and the huge changes to my schedule this week, I am extending that deadline.

The new deadline to sign up will be August 27.  The $45. fee includes ALL materials you will need to make this gorgeous wreath AND you will go home with a few extra supplies.

This wreath will coordinate beautifully with the Blessings Banner we will be making at my Blessings and Banners class on October 23.  I'll be sharing more on this class very soon.  I really hope you will sign up for this super fun class.

Here's a close-up of the little banner at the bottom of the wreath.

Other news:
My new date for my Holiday Stampin' Party will actually be 2 choices of dates.

Saturday, September 7, 2:00-5:00

OR

Sunday, September 8, 2:00-5:00

Because life gets in the way sometimes and changes all our best-laid plans, we have to make the most of it all.  I figure my new party dates will just be that much better because I'll have even MORE projects to show you by then.

Coming soon:  What's up for September, besides making this gorgeous wreath, of course.  Come back soon and check it out.

Before I go, I'd like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for the uplifting messages, thoughts and prayers for our family.  Bill's sister was younger than he and had suffered a ton of health problems.  We thought she was doing better, but God had other plans.  Once again, my mother-in-law, at the age of 90 has shown us strength and grace in times of sorrow.  She is amazing and my heart breaks for her now.  Thank you again for your love and support.

Make a Beautiful Fall Wreath

Today's post will be begin a 3-part series showing you what all we will be making in my new Stamp Club which begins July 1.  The deadline to pay to sign up is June 17, so I want you to have all the info on it now.

Let's see what is in store for each month.  I'll begin with the third of three months and we'll work our way backwards.

September:  Make a Beautiful Fall Wreath
Learn

• Learn how to follow a recipe to create a wreath project.

Make

• Make a beautiful wreath similar to the one on p. 185 in our new catalog.

Take home

• Take home assorted leftovers from all our materials.
• Take home your beautiful wreath and hang it in a special spot to decorate your home OR give it as a special gift to a very special someone.

This is a gorgeous wreath and would look beautiful on display throughout the entire Fall and Thanksgiving season.  If you made it on your own, the list of supplies is quite long.  By making it in our Stamp Club, you get help making it, all the supplies you need AND you'll still have some extra goodies to take home with you.

Come back for my next 2 posts and see what we'll be making in July and August.  Let me know if you have any questions.

To summarize, here's the scoop on Stamp Club:

• Join for just 3 months at a time.
• See projects for all 3 months prior to signing up. (See in my studio or sneak peeks on my blog.)
• Get in on product shares and get more for your money.
• Instead of Hostess Benefits once in a while, get extra products EACH month.
• Participate in a variety of projects, using a variety of products.

•           Card making and/or Scrapbooking.

• You will be required to pay $40.00 at least 2-4 weeks prior to the date we meet.  (You may also have the option to pay all 3 months up front and get a coupon for $10. good toward a future order or a class of your choice.)  The first deadline is June 17.
• That fee will be used for ordering all the products we will need to complete our special class projects.
• All products left over from our class kits will go home with you to keep.
• Stamp Club members may still attend Scraps and Prayers for 1/2 price.
• All classes will now include adhesive in the price of the class.  You won't have to bring your own.
• If you wish to place an additional order on your own, you may do so at any time.
• Instead of feeling bad that you can't be in a club AND come to a stamp camp or additional classes, this will be a combined event.  You CAN do it all!

Be sure to come back and see what we will be doing in Stamp Club in July and August.
