Brief shopping interuption...

I know you're all taking advantage of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales we have this weekend but I wanted to remind everyone about the next Stash to Treasure class coming up.

Starting December 1st, Kinsey Wilson and Lesley Langdon will be posting videos and instructions on how to put together your December Daily.

This is a GREAT way to document your December, Hanukkah or other holiday celebration.  25 days too much for you?  Then make a 12 days of Christmas mini.

The papers and supplies in this kit and class will work for anyone!  We've filled it with lots of other colors besides the traditional red and green!  (Here's a BIG secret.  I'm partial to blue and silver so I made sure there was plenty of those colors in there!)

Want to see some delicious sneaks?

Class begins on December 1st.  Subscribe HERE.

Kits are available for purchase in the YourScrapbookStash.com store.

Don't forget about the Design Team search we have right now.  We're looking for 6 new Stash Girls for 2011!  You can read more about it HERE.

Live With Lolly

Tonight is our first Ustream class and its with LollyChops!

If you've never seen this girls work, you're missing out!

You can view her blog HERE.

We'll be making the super cute holiday wreath seen here.

Kits are available for purchase or you can make your own kit using one of the three different Kaiser wreaths we have in stock and any of the holiday lines!

For more information, see our last post on this kit and class.

You must subscribe to Stash to Treasure for access to this class.

To subscribe, visit Stash to Treasure.

Is it Monday again?

It IS!

That means in exactly a week, we'll be watching LollyChops teach us how to alter these cool Kaiser Wreaths.

The Class is scheduled for Monday, November 15th at 7:30 Central time.  (Thats 8:30 eastern and 5:30 Pacific).

If you can't make the live class DON'T panic.  This is a recorded class and will be available for the next 6 months on our new Ustream Channel.  If you are already a subscriber or you subscribe this week, we will email you the link and password to access the class.

I wanted to give everyone the specific details of the class and kit.  Kits are available in the shop for purchase.  We have a limited number ready to ship now with more supplies on the way.  Since this class will be recorded, the kits will be available for a while.

To access the class, you will need to purchase a subscription to Stash to Treasure for $5.00.  Since Lolly is an extra this month, that means you get access to Jamie Dougherty's classes as well.  (you can get her kit in the shop too!)

Now here's the fun part!  If you want to work with one of the other two wreath's from Kaiser, we have them in stock.  The Holly wreath:

And the Star wreath:

Are both available.  You can mix and match these with your favorite line.  And if you're not a fan of the Basic Grey Jovial we use in the main kit, you can purchase the Funky Wreath that Lolly uses and pick another line to work with.

This is what Stash to Treasure is all about.  Make it yours or make it the same as the samples!

A few notes about the kit: it is int he store now for just $41.99.  If you use your coupon code (September's is 20% off), that makes the price just $33.60.  Now the average kit price out there is $28-$35, but you don't get step by step video instruction and email support from the teacher!  So for just $5 more, with this kit, you can get that!  This is really quite the bargain... just like we wanted it to be (we are shoppers too, you know! :)  I created this album, 2 cards, and 1 more layout out of my kit, and I have a few more things leftover to use later.


Ok, so there you have it!  I have one more free 1-month subscription to give away, and you will be entered to win it by leaving me a comment and telling me (1) what you think of the class, and (2) which teacher you are most hoping comes to STT.

Tomorrow I will have some upcoming teachers to announce... and sometime tomorrow (Friday) the STT site will go LIVE, ad you will be able to access it and see the class!  Anyone else excited?  I promise to post here the SECOND it is ready, so be stalking on Friday!
