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.

How about a Christmas gift for dog lovers? Check out this adorable Dog Canvas class.

Do you have anyone on your Christmas list that likes to play card games? If so, check out the Unwilling Games Giveaway Box.

What about an altered photo frame for someone special on your Christmas list? Check out You've Been Framed.

A calendar for the grandparents would make a perfect Christmas gift! Check out this fun 8x8 calendar class.

Do you have a new addition in your family? If so, Heaven Sent would be the perfect Christmas gift for the new parents.

How about a unique Christmas ornament for your Christmas tree? Check out Tis The Season With Piggy Tales.

What about a photo keepsake for someone you love? Check out this fun Canvas Decor Project.

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.

TODAY IS THE DAY FOR CLASSES!!!

It's Class Registration day at BC Crop for Kids and there are few things we want you to know before registration opens at 7:00pm PST. We've covered all of these in the recent reminder emails, but we know some of you aren't reading your emails!!!

1. Registered croppers or holders of a Class Pass must have their registration order number handy in order to register for classes. This number is on the original confirmation email that you received when you registered for the event. Remaining class seats will be released to the general public later this summer. You may also sign up for classes at the event, though we recommend that you register early to avoid disappointment.

2. Some classes have been temporarily removed from the schedule because details have not been finalized, or at the request of the sponsor due to logistical issues. When we can be assured that a class will go ahead, we'll add it back to the online store and make an announcement.

3. YOU CAN REGISTER FOR AS MANY CLASSES AS YOU LIKE, but you can only register for one seat per class at a time, one person at a time. To register another person for the same class you must complete the checkout of your class registration and start a new order for the new person. You can order additional class kits for yourself using the same method.

4. If 2 classes you want are in the same time slot, you can register for both, attend one, and take the class kit for the other. All class kits come with detailed written instructions.

5. The class time for "Tis The Season with Piggy Tales" has changed to Sunday, 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM. The class can now be found here.

6. Payment can be made at checkout using PayPal, or you can mail a cheque to the address provided. Payments must be received and dated within 10 days of registration in order to guarantee your seat in the class. Complete payment instructions are provided at checkout.

*Edited to add:

7. As stated in previous emails to registered attendees, we regret that we are unable to answer emails to the bccropforkids@yahoo.ca address on June 18, as we are busy finalizing classes and prepping the shopping cart for the registration grand opening at 7pm. Inquiries will be answered on June 19. Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks everyone!

CLASS REGISTRATION *COUNTDOWN!!*

GOOD MORNING!

Just 7 days until BC Crop for Kids class registration opens for registered croppers and class pass holders. (what's a class pass? Skip the crop portion of the event, but get full weekend access to the event AND register for classes first, along with the crop-goers. You can purchase your class pass online.)

Class registration begins June 18 at 7pm PST.

Things to note:

1. You MUST have your original crop registration order # handy in order to register. The system will ask for the number, and you won't be able to proceed to checkout without it. This number was on your order confirmation email when you signed up for the BC Crop for Kids crop.

2. If you can't find this number, please email bccropforkids@yahoo.ca BEFORE June 18. We will not be able to respond to emails on June 18 because we'll be busy getting the shopping cart ready to launch at 7pm PST.

3. You will be able to register for multiple classes at one time, but you will only be allowed to register for one seat in each class at a time. If you are registering for a friend you will have to complete your registration and then create a new registration for your friend, in their name.

4. You can register for more than one class in the same time slot. You can't be in 2 places at once, but it does guarantee you a class kit, even if you don't attend the class.

5. As always, you will have 10 days to remit payment for the classes. We will accept Paypal payments, and cheques payable to BC Scrapbooking Crop for Kids.

Most of the classes have been added to the BC Crop for Kids website. Be sure to check back regularly to see the latest additions to the schedule. We are so excited about the buzz these classes have been receiving so far! Please register early to avoid disappointment.
