January Scrapbooking Tip
CHA Trade Show Sneak Peek

It's no secret that there has been a lot of change in the scrapbooking industry over the last year. Some of it exciting and fun, some of it brought news of closures.

The good news is that the industry continues to explore new and beautiful designs and lines. Scrapbook Update (a really great webpage that posts about the industry; if you do not already follow them on Facebook, please do so) has posted a running list of all the new lines that are starting to come out in advance of the 2015 CHA trade show next week.

Check out what your favorite manufacturers and designers are doing here:

New Cancellation Policy 

Effective December 1, 2014      

    

As I have evaluated registration patterns over the past year, it has become clear that last minute cancellations cause problems that often leave Crops Plus in negative situations financially; problems we can no longer afford. Therefore, effective December 1, 2014, a new cancellation policy fee structure will be instituted.

For the full policy, please view it here: http://www.ourcropsplus.com/#!cancellation-policy/c21bj

Tee Shirts For Charity  

Another way to give back and win prizes!     

 

As you can tell by our website and this newsletter, we recently rebranded. New look, new logo and that means new tee shirts as well! We haven't sold tee shirts since 2011 and now is the perfect time! PLUS, wear it at a crop for the chance to win great prizes and give a little back.

 
We are selling these adorable v-neck tee shirts for $25. All of the proceeds will go to Bethany House, a domestic violence shelter in Northern Virginia. Bethany House was organized to help women and their children who have suffered from domestic violence regain health and dignity and become re-established in their community by providing temporary housing and support.

In 2014, we were able to donate over $600 to Bethany House!

 

You can choose to have the shirt shipped to you for an additional fee or you can pick it up at any one of our crops. As an added bonus, at each crop, we will have a special prize drawing for anyone caught wearing a Crops Plus shirt over the course of the weekend.

 

Be sure to get yours before we sell out so that you can also be eligible to win and give back to the community. You can order your shirt here: http://www.ourcropsplus.com/#!crops-plus-tee-shirts/cf9y  

 

Note: Currently we are out of L and XL sizes, but will be ordering more shortly!
