  • First Row Left: Advisor Pam Winn hosted her annual Winter Jammies virtual crop on the Saturday after New Year’s. As in past years, some team members hosted their own pajama party crops while tuning in virtually. She enjoyed seeing Advisor Nancy Collins and friends join in and thanked all team members who participated, invited friends and had fun together.
  • First Row Right: Advisor Debbie Jones taught her Beginner Class and thanked Ann B. Lavezzo for her support.
  • Second Row Left: Advisor Wendy Vondrasek taught her first Beginner Class.
  • Second Row Right: Advisor Mary Beth Towns launched her First Monday Crop Nights for the year. A new-to-scrapbooking attendee from church joined and created two borders and a Simple Page Kit while trying several cutting tools and a border punch. She was impressed by how easy they were to use and is excited to return next month.
  • Third Row Left: Advisor Julie Olsted kicked off 2026 with 29 attendees, including four new to her. During this no-frills crop, attendees also created 2026 mini calendars with Post-it notes, signed up for Mystery Box and Page Kit Clubs and celebrated pages completed in 2025, including one attendee who completed 760 pages.
  • Third Row Right: Advisor Brenda Rose hosted a New Year’s retreat with 16 attendees who spent time learning from each other, laughing, enjoying great food and creating nearly 350 pages. One attendee joined her team during the retreat and friendships were strengthened throughout the event.
  • Fourth Row Left: Advisor Marti Goodwin hosted a four-day New Year’s crop with more than 30 participants. There was strong interest in newly launched products, excitement for what’s ahead in 2026, and enthusiasm for Secret Box No. 5.
  • Fourth Row Right: Advisor Tassie Blondin hosted Cozy Crop No. 1, welcoming three regular attendees, three first-time Cozy croppers and one brand-new participant. The group had a great day together.
  • First Row Left: Advisor Connie Skaggs held a team meeting with her first line on Zoom, reviewing 2025 wins, setting goals for 2026 and supporting one another. Additional team members later joined to scrapbook together, making it a meaningful team activity.
  • First Row Right: Advisor Lisa Thurman helped start the year with a beach retreat co-hosted with Advisor Karen Horn and Advisor Rachel Duran Villaron. The Cutting Mat Layout Ruler was a hit as a seat gift.
  • Second Row Left: Advisor Leah Cochran hosted her first crop of the year with a successful Cozy Crop. Seven scrapbookers attended, including one first-time scrapbooker. The group completed 168 pages and two Beginner Classes, despite several absences due to illness or surgery.
  • Second Row Right: Advisor Alisha Frost hosted her first Beginner Scrap Journal Class of 2026. Despite a few cancellations, she welcomed six in-person and five virtual attendees, including four new participants. Attendees began their journals, shared ideas and expressed interest in returning next month.
  • Third Row Left: Advisor Mary Horwitz offered a Beginner Class at her retreat using simple printed signage rather than online promotion. One attendee joined, quickly learned the tools and completed a two-page spread using personal photos and articles. He proudly left his finished pages on display overnight.
  • Third Row Right: Advisor Wendy Vondrasek taught her first Beginner Class.
