Preserve your child's K-12 school progress with this unique project, which includes instructions and materials for 14 single-page scrapbook layouts. This album also includes special folders made for preserving standout schoolwork and other memorabilia, making it the perfect way to preserve your memories of these formative years. The "special folder" is one of our retired products, the True Fit Folios. Do you remember them? They were a very popular product years ago and they are back for this special only!   They do measure 12" x 12", allowing you to design and create a layout as you are used to doing. You can elect to decorate the inside as well, to include additional photos, or simply use that area to store those items you just can't throw in the trash.  The second image shows you the BACK side of the folder, in this case, highlighting Kindergarten of this boy's school years. Isn't it adorable AND purposeful? This last image shows one interactive element, incorporated throughout the pages, Flip Flaps! They provide a great way to add additional photos, journaling, or...what about a private message from you to the individual highlighted? The Folders can be placed in a Memory Protector to safely store the photos and memorabilia.  The You've Got Class Workshop Kit is a great way to preserve anyone's school memories! Do you have any school photos you still need to scrapbook of yourself, your children, your grandchildren?  Do you have a Senior graduating this year or in the near horizon? Do you know you will be invited to a Graduation in the coming year where this would make a great gift? Or...maybe you have someone who is just about to begin school. Wouldn't this be a great way to document the year's highlights without too much work? AND...on Graduation day, in 12 years, you can provide them with it as a gift! You can get the kit for $61.95 (retail value of $83.45)! And, like always, you can elect to purchase individual items. Click on THIS LINK and you will find the You've Got Class Workshop Kit. At the bottom is the FREE and downloadable guide for creating the pages PLUS you'll find thumbnail images of all of the artwork designed for this special.

You can earn a minimum of $25 in FREE products (select Hostess Rewards) when your party reaches just $150 in sales!  But...as the sales increase, so do your rewards and I will do all I can to get you as many FREE products as possible! Notice that once you achieve the $250 level, you get one item at 50% off (ANY product) and at $350...Exclusive Items kick in!    This is just one of the bundles you have to choose from at Level 3 and higher; this one with three of our new Craft Organizers!
