Last Day for Dynamite "Dotty For You" Special

Dotty For You Workshop (see #3 below)

Yep, that's right. Today is it...the last day to not only take advantage of the Dotty For You special, but also the May Stamp of the Month.  I thought I'd remind you about both specials and the Dotty For You Workshop (pictured at the top of this post) you can participate in if you get a "Dotty For You" paper pack.  Here we go...1,2, and 3.  Be sure to read all 3.

Before I get started, just make a note that tomorrow you'll see a post highlighting the wonderful June Specials. Hint:  one of them is called "Stampaganza!"

1.  Dotty For You:  This National Scrapbooking Month special ends with May. Don't miss it!  For every $35 in products your purchase from the Spring/Summer 2012 Idea Book (between April 17 and May 31) you qualify for a Dotty for You paper packet ($19.95 value) for just $5. Dotty for You includes 24 specially designed, cardstock weight, coordinating B&T Duos^® sheets (2 each of 12 patterns) and an artwork idea insert. There are also two ways you can get this darling paper packet FREE!

•  Hostesses will receive a free Dotty for You paper packet when their Gathering sales total $400 or more (excluding tax, shipping/handling, and Operation Smile donations). 
• Anyone who signs up as a new Consultant with CTMH from now through May 31 gets one FREE with their kit (which is a STEAL!  It's only $99 and you get over $300 in products!).To sign up, head to my website, click on "Opportunities" and then "Be a Consultant." Easy, peasy, lemon squeasy!

Remember, if you get a Dotty For You pack, you also qualify to participate in my Dotty For You Workshop, either in person or long-distance (see #3 below). 

 

Here are some Thank You cards I made with this awesome paper pack:

 

 

2.  May Stamp of the Month: Isn't this set just perfect?  April showers bring May flowers, and I just love the flowers they brought! These sunflowers are just perfect done with watercolors, pencils, markers, or even just stamped and left uncolored. You'll see all of these techniques on cards I will be posting throughout the month.

Here is a card I made with this set:

3. Dotty For You Workshop: 

ANYONE who buys or gets a "Dotty For You" pack free is invited to participate in this workshop (Two 2-page 12" x 12" layouts and 10 cards and envelopes), either in person or long distance.  And, it's VERY reasonably priced! Here's the scoop: to participate you need to have a Dotty For You paper pack (which you can get between now and May 31 for FREE or for only $5 {see this post for details}).  In addition, you must purchase at least the Basic Kit.  After that, anything you choose to purchase is up to you. Keep reading for details and close-ups of all of the projects...

In designing this workshop, I took a look at some of the projects that Close To My Heart designed with the paper pack, and the went from there. Both of the two page layouts include one of the pages that CTMH designed as well as a companion page designed by me. I did make a few little changes to the CTMH pages to keep costs down.  A couple of the card designs also came from Close To My Heart and I just worked them a little bit to keep costs down a bit.

Now, let  me quickly explain the kit for those of you attending in person and those who will be ordering this kit long-distance:

In Person:

• You are not required to purchase anything other than the basic kit. I do suggest the 'Better Kit' because then you will also have all of the accessory items you see on my layouts and cards.  
• The Best Kit includes the stamp pads and stamps we will be using. If you are attending the workshop in person, I will have these items for you to use there. If you love them and want them for yourself, you may want to consider purchasing the Best Kit. 
• Items you will need to bring with you to the workshop: paper trimmer, adhesive of your choice, 3D foam tape, glue dots. I will supply all other supplies to be used there.
• If you would like me to cut your workshop ahead of time for you, add $5 to the workshop cost.

Long-Distance:

•  You are not required to purchase anything other than the basic kit. I do suggest the 'Better Kit' because then you will also have all of the accessory items you see on my layouts and cards. 
• The Best Kit includes the stamp pads and stamps we will be using. If you want your layouts and cards to look exactly like mine, you will want to purchase the Best Kit, or you can pay an extra $5 for me to cut and stamp your workshop before I send it to you.
• Add $5 to the purchase price for me to ship your workshop to you.
