Virtual Palooza Events
A Two-Day Paper Crafting Experience You Don’t Want to Miss
Palooza is not just another online event.
It’s a two-day creative experience where one featured product suite turns into endless creative possibilities — cards, scrapbook layouts, interactive elements, and projects you won’t see anywhere else.
Each month, three experienced paper crafters take the same Scrapbooking Workshop Kit, Coordinating Suite, and DSP + Sticker Sheet/Cardstock — and bring three completely different creative visions to life.
If you love getting more from your products…
If you love learning fresh ideas…
If you love crafting alongside women who understand your love of beautiful paper…
Palooza was created for you.
What happens inside the Palooza?
For two full days inside a private Facebook group, you’ll receive:
-
Step-by-step project guides with color photos and measurements
-
Creative techniques you can use again and again
-
9 random prize winners each month for participating in our Just for Fun and Challenge questions inside the group
-
Expanded scrapbook layouts with room for more photos
-
Four double 12×12 scrapbook pages
-
One Sheet Wonders, 4 Sheet Wonders, interactive cards and/or fun folds
-
Lifetime access to the private Facebook group
-
All project videos are pre-recorded and hosted on YouTube, so they never disappear
Three instructors. One product suite. Endless inspiration.
Palooza is more than projects – it’s a creative community where crafters connect, encourage one another, and grow together.
Can’t attend live? No problem. You’ll have lifetime access so you can craft on your schedule – not ours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Facebook?
Yes. Palooza is hosted inside a private Facebook group where the live experience, community interaction, prizes, and creative connection happen.
If you do not have Facebook, you can still participate. After the scheduled event, I’m happy to email you the project guides and direct video links so you can enjoy the projects — but you’ll miss the live interaction and community fun inside the group.
Will I have access after the event ends?
Yes. You’ll have lifetime access to the private Facebook group. All project videos are pre-recorded and hosted on YouTube, so you can craft at your own pace — and revisit the projects anytime.
When will I receive my invite?
Your private Facebook group invitation will be sent one week prior to the event after your qualifying order is confirmed.
Can Demonstrators purchase access without placing a qualifying order?
At this time, Palooza access is only available with a qualifying $50 online order. We are not offering a separate paid class option.
Virtual Palooza Events
Hey everyone,
Welcome to my blog!
I am VERY excited to tell you about a virtual monthly event I have been hosting with my two Close To My Heart besties, Dana Swadling ad Holly Veselenak since May, 2020.
When the pandemic first began back in March of 2020, the 3 of us decided to bring our regular monthly classes online, AND to do them together as one larger event. We call them our Palooza Events.... and we've been going strong EVERY month since then. We have a lot of fun and would love for you to join us.

So what is a Palooza Event?
It is a virtual event hosted by us, on Facebook, over the course of 2 days each month.
It is full of classes, extra fun tutorials, games and prizes!
Each class is taught by pre-recorded video and posted live to follow the event agenda. We learned that this option was much better than Live videos for our crafty peeps because:
-
We have control of the content. You do not have to worry about the videos disappearing as its hosted on our computers and YouTube account. We are not at the mercy of whatever Facebook decides to do. The classes will always be accessible.
-
We KNOW life gets busy and you can't always attend when it's live. With video, you can join at your own leisure, and even weeks or months after the actual event has happened.
-
We KNOW that many times our crafty peeps will purchase supplies for an event after the event has happened.... we STILL want them to be able to join the group and access ALL of our classes.
What do you teach?
All 3 of us bring a different flair to the event.
I teach my signature 8 page Scrapbook Kits that focus on fundamentally scrapbooking beautiful pages, incorporating picture my life cards and flip flaps in fun ways.
Dana takes the Close To My Heart scrapbook kits and turns them into Interactive Works of Art including elevating them to WOW levels. She is the queen of glam in our circle!!
Holly takes the Close To My Heart cardmaking kits and does the same, showing you simple yet beautiful ways of elevating the artwork. She also teaches us a BONUS selection of cards.
All 3 of us also come on Live to teach something fun, that may or may NOT be related to the Palooza!
How Can I Attend a Palooza?
That's easy. Simply purchase ANY of the supplies needed for ANY of the classes and that is your automatic invitation to the group.
All supplies are listed at the first of the month in each of our Customer Groups on Facebook.
If you are not a member, you can check it out here.
If you are a CTMH Maker, no problem. Instead, simply message me about joining the event.
What will I find in the Group?
We send out invitations to the group 1 week before the event start date.
At that time you will find all needed cutting guides, agendas and pictures.
We also start the FUN at that time too... lots of things that count towards prize drawings at the end of the event.... 9 drawings to be exact!!
