On April 29 I posted this picture on my Instagram and Facebook pages.  I didn't say anything about why I posted this picture.....but now I am ready to.

 

I've been throwing an idea around in my head and even tested it out on you in March by sending out weekly sketches.  I wanted to see if there was a need and interest in creating and sending out sketches to help you with card design.

 

Well, I found out there is a need and definite interest!  Through your excitement in emails, sharing your own designs with the sketches I provided, and responses from questions I ask new mailing list subscribers, there is a need and desire for "where do I start".

 

My vision is to help as many of you as I can with your card making, no matter crafting ability or the amount of supplies you have.  Most of you do not live near me and are not able to attend my in-person events, so it was important to me to think of an idea that will help everyone, no matter where you live.

 

In April, I attended a workshop on thinking differently about what I do and what I can offer.  This amazing workshop helped me get excited and begin devising a plan on the sketch idea I emailed you in March.  I made the commitment to myself and the world (by posting the photo above) that I would announce my idea to you on May 27.

 

Today is May 27 and here I am, announcing my Monthly Sketch Program to you.

 

Since this is a brand new program, I want to give YOU the opportunity to join as a Founding Member.  If receiving monthly sketches and card samples is interesting to you, I invite you to reply back to this email saying you want more information.  This program is open to everyone!  Sketches & card samples will be sent by email, it is not restrictive to where you live.

 

I would love for you to be a Founding Member and receive the lowest monthly rate.  This will be the only time this rate is offered.

 

You do not need to commit with your reply, just tell me you want more information.

 

I will be going public with my Monthly Sketch program on June 4, at a higher rate.

 

I hope you are as excited as I am about this new Monthly Sketches & Samples program.  If you have a fun name suggestion, please send it along!!!

 

Thank you,

Christine
