Happy Birthday Zoo Card with CTMH Safari, Adventure, Happy Birthday, Hodge Podge Alphabet, Ticket to Ride and Back Country

Happy Birthday to you, you live in a zoo...  Is that song stuck in your head now? 

Several of my friends and customers received one or more of the Safari / Zoo themed stamp sets in their Mystery Goodie Boxes so I wanted to make a Stamp Camp card to show how cute the images can be - and not just for a zoo layout!  I modified a card I saw in a very old Idea Book to create this one that just cracks me up.  I did check with my 8 year old to make sure that this card was funny and not rude for his age bracket and I got two thumbs up from him.

The last day of the $2, $4, $6 for 8 sale is Wednesday, 11th August and there are still some great Level 1 Kits and Level 2 kits available as well as lots of $2 stickease!  One of my little minions will be helping me on the 12th to draw for the PRIZE - one free, brand new accessory from the upcoming Idea Book that is going live on September 1st!  I'm drawing one prize for every 10 people who order and have a few more to go for two prizes to be drawn so if you are on the fence - don't wait!  Hurry on over to my site at paige.myctmh.com and place an order today to get in on the drawing!

I am very excited to announce a brand new style of club that is starting in June! Up until now my clubs have been a traditional 6/25 menaing that for 6 months, 6 members committed to spending $25 each month and took turns being hostess of the month and earning rewards. We met once a month for a club crop at my house and had lots of fun creating together. Sometimes people wanted to join in the middle of a club and I just didn't have an open spot for them. Now I've found the perfect solution - and "OPEN" Girls Night Out Creative Club which allows anyone to join at ANY TIME with NO MONTHLY commitment! Let me share with you the details of how this club works:

We will meet at my house on the 1st Friday of each month at 7:00PM (starting on Friday, 5th June). Anyone can join me for a Creative Club Class night at any time with no monthly commitment - just an RSVP to hold your spot! Each month we will make a project for a $5 supply fee (could be cards, gift item, layout, etc.) If you place a $25 minimum order then the project will be FREE and you will have your name added to the hostess list! The person at the top of the list will receive the hostess rewards for the month. I will let you know the month prior if you are up next to give you the opportunity to host a party and increase your rewards! Skip a month and your name moves to the bottom of the list. Place a $25 minimum order by the 1st Friday of the month (whether or not you can attend the Creative Club Class) and your name will rise another notch on the list closer to hostess rewards! The best part is, you can even purchase the Kit of the Month scrapbooking class supplies with your order and come back at the end of the month for a FREE workshop!
Perks of Creative Club:
$5 or FREE Creative Club Class
Free current Idea Book
Hostess rewards during your month
Opportunity to host a party and increase your rewards
Low cost night out with the girls
Bring a friend incentives (each friend must have an RSVP and not be on my e-mail list)
Purchase your Kit of the Month supplies with your order!
