- At least $25 in FREE product during your hostess month when the cumulative club purchase reaches $150

How It Works
Each club group is comprised of six members. Every member agrees to purchase $25 of product from the current Close To My Heart catalog each month (shipping and tax not included) during the club period of February 2012-July 2012. Club members can spend more than the set amount if they choose.
Each month, one club member acts as “hostess.” That person is eligible to receive at least $25 in FREE product of their choice from the current Close To My Heart catalog when the combined purchases of the club reaches $150. If the combined purchases are more than $150, the hostess can get more free product.
The hostess rotates monthly, so everyone in the club has a chance to receive free product.
Is There a Way To Get More Than $25 in Free Product?
Yes! During your hostess month, you can get outside orders from non-club members. When their orders are added to the club purchases, your hostess rewards may increase.
For example, if the club order is $150 and you get outside orders from your friends totaling $200, then the total order for the month is $350. You would be eligible for $60 in free product. See the chart below to see the different levels of hostess benefits.

How long is the commitment?
The club membership is for six months (February, March, April, May, June, July 2012).
To ensure that all club members are able to take advantage of hostess benefits, you must commit to maintaining your membership for the six-month duration of the club. If you are not able to maintain your membership, there will be a $10 early termination fee.
What is the cancellation policy?
If you are not able to maintain your club commitment, you may cancel your club membership by e-mailing me by the 20th of the month prior to month in which you wish to leave the club. For example, if you wish to cancel your membership in March, I would need to receive your cancellation by the 20th of February.
How do I sign up?
Simply e-mail your name, mailing address and e-mail address to me by January 30, 2012. I will assign numbers to members as you sign up. That number determines your “hostess month.” When the club is established, I will send a welcome letter with club details, a 2012 Spring/Summer Idea Book and your sign-up gift.
How do I order my monthly purchases?
Submit your order through a secure online link (that I will provide) by the 15th of each month.
Your purchases will ship from Close To My Heart via FEDEX Ground on or soon after the 15th of the month.
How do I access the club member project and video?
Shortly after placing the monthly order, I will send a PDF of the project instructions via e-mail. Your e-mail will also include a special link to access the video.
I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about the club. Please feel free to e-mail me!
Remember, you have until January 30, 2012 to join the club, so reserve your space today!
Private Clubs
Do you have a group of scrapping/cardmaking friends who would like to take advantage of free product and work on projects together? Then you can have a hostess club of your own. Simply get a group of six friends who can commit to the club for six months and you’ll get access to the benefits of my regular club. I’m happy to help you organize your group. Please contact me at cropcandy@gmail.com if you have questions about a private club. Bonus: if you’re in the DC-metro area, I can come to your club in person and guide you through the club project!
