SORRY ABOUT THAT!!

Just quick apology for sending two newletters out tonight. I noticed a typo in the expiry date of the Photo Express coupon and I wanted to make sure that everyone got the correct coupon. Please make sure you print the coupon from the "RESEND" newsletter which is the second newsletter sent out.

We know it's impossible to take them all, although some of you have certainly tried!! ;) We need your help in spreading the word that class registration is open to the general public. Tell your scrapbooking friends to check out the classes on the website, this is just a very small sampling of what we are offering throughout the weekend.

BRING A SMILE TO A CHILD

We are very excited that Scrapbooks & Cards Today has come on board as an event sponsor!!! They are donating a copy of their Fall 2008 issue to each of the goodie bags for our registered crop seat holders, and they are sponsoring a giveaway. Details are below:

BRING A SMILE TO A CHILD

In September, 2007, Scrapbook & Cards Today launched the "Bring a Smile to a Child" campaign in time to support Canada's Scrapbooking Crop for Kids. They asked paper crafters everywhere to make and donate birthday cards, which were then distributed to Children's Hospitals across Canada. Their goal was to ensure that each hospitalized child received a card from hospital staff or caregivers on their birthday. Well, the campaign was SUCH a success that they have decided to continue it throughout 2008. They have now collected over 1,000 cards, and they are still going strong. They would love your help with this campaign! Please make and donate a child's birthday card and drop if off at the BC Crop for Kids regstration/info desk on the weekend of the event. For each card made you will receive a draw ticket for a chance to win a subscription to Scrapbook & Cards Today and other wonderful prizes from their sponsors!

All birthday cards handed in on the weekend of the event will be given to BC Children's Hospital Foundation for the children who use the hospital's facilities.

General Class Registration Announced!!

Did you see the announcement in our last newsletter? We will be opening up general class registration to the public on Tuesday, July 15 at 6:00 PM. Please pass the word on to your friends!!

It's never too early to start thinking about Christmas gifts either. Many of the classes could be a Christmas gift for someone on your list.

What about some keepsake mini albums or brag books for the grandparents, these always make great gifts!! Check out Z is for Zany for memories of all those zany an crazy photos, Christmas Scor-Pal Mini Album to document all those Christmas memories, Star Mini Album would be great for those everyday photos, Mini Jacob's Ladder in Snowflake Box would make a great keepsake for those special winter photos, document those Halloween memories with the Halloween Chipboard Mini Album, or what about a special album about the little girl in our life with the Sassy Boardbook.

There are so many amazing classes still available and we would love to see all the classes sold out so that we can make as much money for the hospital as we possibly can!! And remember, all kits come with instructions and photos so if you don't want to take the class and just want to take the kit it's not a problem.
