Inspire.Create.Share. That's my aim!
While I've absolutely loved what the past year has held - it's been pretty frantic. There were so many other cool things that I wanted to share, and do, in 2016. However, I haven't been able to this year as I've been very stretched for lots of reasons - including amazing trips and family times - but also as I've held lots of different in-person events.
So I've spent a considerable amount of my time physically prepping, packing up & down, and bouncing from one event to the next - rather than creating and sharing as much as I hoped to. Hmmm - maybe that's why my craft room is in such disarray!
So, I'm making a few changes to how I run my CreativeJax Stampin' Up! business in the New Year. Let's be honest - I'm not really anticipating I will be any less busy! But hopefully working smarter, and offering events and crafting opportunities that appeal to you, and that enable me to share with a wider group - both geographically, but also those who are more local but can't make it to in-person classes. So I'll be moving some things "online" rather than being "in person",
and increasing my presence in the online crafting world.
I'm really excited to be introducing regular Class-to-Go Kits. These will be classes based around a particular Stampin' Up! product - usually a stamp set. This class model is based on my in-person "product based classes" which have been
popular. Once opened for orders, you and your crafty friends will have a week to purchase each "Class-to-Go". I will then order the products, prep your Class-to-Go and mail it to you. Each Class-to-Go will include the featured product, along with the resources to make several cards - usually 2 each of 4 different cards - and it will all come to you in the
mail. You'll also get instructions on how to make the cards. I'll initially offer classes these twice per month and am currently working on my schedule for the next few months so that you can see what's coming up and what products will be featured.
Keep an eye out early in the New Year for details. I can
tell you that my first Class-to-Go will be available to order from Sunday 8th January. It will feature the Beautiful You stamp set (which I got to showcase at On Stage in Brisbane last month in front of 680 people!) and the amazing new Stampin' Up! watercolour pencils. Check out the Stampin' Up! video about the pencils at the bottom of this newsletter!
My
aim is also to send you a newsletter more regularly! I know - you've heard that before! But 2017 is going to see me pop into your Inbox at least once a month!
I will also be having some weekend and single day Creative Escapes in 2017. We had such fun at our Extravaganza a couple of years ago, and I've had lots of requests
for something similar. You can read about and register for my first Creative Escape below. There are only 8 places at this exclusive event
and are on a first come basis by confirmed booking.
I also hope to expand the clubs I offer.
I currently run a Marker Club early every year (info below) but have had
people ask about other
club options so will be letting you know about them in the New Year.
