Ashburn Family Scrapbooking Center

Greetings! Holy Smokes January is whizzing by! All sorts of things are happening in the neighborhood and keeping up is a challenge. First we would like to say goodbye to all our good friends at Recollections. We are sad they are leaving us. Their helpfulness and great crop room will be sorely missed by everyone. Let's make sure we stay in touch with their staff as they move on to Scrapbooks Plus, Angela's Happy Stamper and Ashburn Family Scrapbooking Center. News for February - Get Croppin', our local cropping event group has a huge event coming up from the 15th to the 18th. Family Scrapbooking will be only marginally open during this time, so please be aware of this. If you need anything you will be able to find us at the Dulles Expo Center and we can bring things back from there for you. For more information on this fantastic event go to: www.getcroppin.com Now, check out these classes and date changes:

In direct response to your survey answers we proudly introduce Teaching Techniques! Taught by June Houck, this once a month club will start out basic and move rapidly to intermediate and advanced techniques. In each monthly class you will learn a new trick and become more and more comfortable with the wonderful memory crafting supplies we have to work with. How the Teaching Techniques Club will work: Club members must sign up for the club for three months at a time. Club membership will cost $30, that's only $10 a class! Each class will focus on a new fun technique or product. Only club members receive an additional product pack at each class! Also available is the "Follow the Trends" monthly class. This intermediate to advanced class will be held at three different times of the month and will be based on an idea or product found in a popular book or magazine. These classes will range from $20 to $75 and will be taught by our top teachers and occasional guests.
