Celebration Event of Teresa Collins Paperlife
We’re having a pre-CHA party, Monday July 26th, the night before CHA to celebrate Teresa Collins Paperlife!!! It is open for everyone, but seats are very limited so you will need to reserve yours A.S.A.P. We are celebrating with a class from Teresa herself using her new releases for the show, a chance for you to create, shop, and have your cake and eat it with Teresa and The Paperlife, too! Teresa will design a class around her new CHA release for you (and that’s all we are saying for now!), and The Paperlife will host a party to celebrate her and get to know her Paperlife better!

Sound like Fun? Seating is limited to 70 people. Tickets are $70 and are non-refundable but are transferable (due to the exclusivity of this event). This event is located at the Marriott Rosemont, IL) just down the street from CHA Summer 2010) from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. It is a PARTY and we are going to CELEBRATE (big hint there, wink)! OK some of this has to remain a surprise but, we promise even more fun and excitement will be going on there.

There is no fee to participate. If you want to participate in the swap, please email Cathy Moews at robertmoews@msn.com or call the store by June 1.

Each month, a winning card design will be chosen that best depicts the theme. The winner will receive a prize donated by Scrapbook Friend’z.

If you’ve never done a swap, here’s how it works. Each month, those participating in the swap make a certain number of the same card and bring them to the store. When all the cards are received, you will get one of each person’s cards in return.
