Dear (Contact First Name)

National Scrapbook Day and National Scrapbook Month is upon us!  We have a day full of sales planned and a layout contest this month to receive amazing prizes.  You won't want to miss this one.
 
Plus we have so many new  samples and items in the store we had to tell you!    Did you know that we have a celebrity/author designer with us in June to teach 2 wonderful classes? Or that new Ranger products have been arriving weekly?  Or even that to meet the demand for Cricut Classes we have added many more options to fit into your schedule?  We have so much to share we just couldn't make it all fit in our monthly newsletter and we had to let you know!
 
We're all so excited here at CraftFancy with all of the happenings and we look forward to seeing  you at our upcoming events and classes.
