Good afternoon all inspired scrapbookers!
First and foremost, Happy Holidays to all of you. For many of my subscribers, the holidays is a wonderful time spent with the family creating memories to scrapbook, though there is rarely time to actually create during the season. As a scrapbooking business owner, there is nothing that worries me more than when our clients do not have time to create and use our products but I know that you will be taking lots of photos which you can scrap once the new year hits!
The December kit is phenomenal, and I am not just saying that because I handpicked every item in it! Once again, we have produced a kit that we believe is second to none. One Inspiration Squad member told us that we have outdone ourselves this time with out new Commit 2 Paper kit for December and has even asked to order a second kit because she used up the first one too quickly! What a flattery! I hope you all feel the same about the December kit that she does! By now you should have either already received your kit or it should be arriving shortly. You are certainly in for a treat! This year, once again, we have opted for a non traditional color scheme. The December kit features gorgeous papers from the SEI WinterSong line which are deep reds and pastel blues. I challenge you to use these products in a new way. Tell a story about a holiday tradition that you may not have shared in your albums before. Then email me a copy of the layout because I would love to see what your family does to celebrate!
One again, the girls on the Inspiration Squad spent this month working this kit for all that it is worth. That will be evident when you look at the Inspiration Squad Gallery. I hope you will be able to do the same and can find some inspiration from them.
Speaking of the Inspiration Squad... this month, we would like to welcome Ms. Marlene Spencer to our team. Marlene is excited to be a part of the Commit 2 Paper's Inspiration Squad team and up for the challenge of trying to create new and creative layouts to share. She is wife to Marcus; Mother to 5 grown children, and Grandmother to 9! Needless to say she has plenty of scrapbook material to work with. Scrapbooking is a hobby which has taken over all of her spare time and every inch of empty space in the house. She has been scrapbooking since 2002 and is loving every minute of it from creating layouts to share with family to shopping and "collecting" scrapbook supplies. She makes her home in the small community of Fallbrook, CA and helps her husband and two sons run a transportation brokerage from a home office.
And maybe we will add YOU to our team? We are Calling all creative talent. We have 1 remaining vacancy coming up on our Inspiration Squad! And we want YOU to fill this spots. Sadly, we have recently lost 2 of our awesome ladies to other endeavers, and we desperately need your help. Unfortunately (at this time) we cant offer any kind of financial incentive for being on our team, but this is a great way to get your creative juices flowing, and a great way to build a name for yourself! You would join us for a 6 month tenure (with the purchase of either a 6 month subscription) to be extended if you choose. you would get your kit one month early (!) and your would submit 5-8 projects (layouts, cards, altered items, etc) in that month. Best of all, you would be featured on our site. Sounds great, right??? To apply, please send me a brief bio and 3 examples of your BEST creativity to me by the 1st of February at amy@commit2paper.com
Again, I want to remind you all of the Commit 2 Paper community networking site via Ning. You can find our community at
http://commit2paper.ning.com/ This is a community which we encourage all our subscribers to take advantage of regardless of their experience with scrapbooking. There are always things to learn and talk about, so please register today and begin setting up your profile. You can participate in our forums, share techniques and upload your photos and work with the girls for tips, advice or kudos. Personally, I look forward to seeing you all there and getting to know you a bit better!
For those of you with expiring memberships (and this month, there are a lot of you!), please renew today to ensure that you dont miss any of our kits. Just a reminder, single month kits are $27.50 plus shipping per month, 3 month subscriptions are $26 plus shipping and handling per month and our 6 month subscription is only $24 plus shipping and handling per month. We encourage you to renew your subscriptions today to take full advantage of these discounts.
Please remember though that we are a business that can quickly go under during such economic times as these, so I ask that you continue to use us for all of your scrapbooking needs. Our goal is not, nor has it ever been, to turn a profit off of our customers. Our goal has always been to bring the quality that you deserve and value to your doorstep at an affordable cost to you all. If there is anything that we can do to better this, we welcome ideas and advice.
Your Inspiration Squad ladies are receiving their January kits this week, and wait until you see what this kit has in store for you! the Photo will soon be posted to the site so please make sure to check that out. Already, I am finding myself using this kit in new and exciting ways, and I am certain that the girls of the Inspiration Squad will as well.
And with that, we'll see you next month! Have a wonderful month, happy holidays, and happy scrapping!
