Ideas for Center Stage Titles:
Christmas, Vacation, Spring, Graduation, Wedding, Family Reunion, Holidays, School, Thanksgiving, Summer, Friends, Babies, Children, Winter, Siblings, Birthdays, Fall
Note: If you are not familiar with the 'center stage' idea it is used on a double page spread. You make a box for the title, decoration and sometimes journaling. The box is near the center or bottom of the page and spans both pages. You use graduated rectangles as templates to draw lines with the pen or to guide in placement of stickers. Usually you have two or three borders within borders.
Stickermania is either using a lot of stickers or using stickers together (such as the Santa hat sticker on the penguin sticker.
These two ideas go well together because center stage boxes are often surrounded and/or decorated with stickers.

This class is for guests who have already had a beginner class.
They get a Fast Formulas book and the paper, stickers, or die-cuts needed to decorate five pages. Customers bring five pages with them or purchase a pack of pages at the class.
The coordinator can decide ahead of time if she would like her group to try one formula five ways or five different formulas. The coordinator should also help narrow down the topics that she thinks would be best suited for her group (some ideas: zoo, seasons, camping, Christmas, birthday party, sports, school, vacation, dance, reunions, concerts, heritage, babies, wedding, etc.).
The consultant should show tools that may not have been mastered at the original home class such as: CCS, personal trimmer, corner rounder, adhesives, etc.
Do a Make and Take Shop Talk with Computer Titles. Use the hand out WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THEM? (left over pictures or pictures that don't fit anywhere.) Pick easy fonts to trace and print them along with the handout. Customers pick one to trace on their own page and you provide the coordinating stickers.
Titles:
Nothing like seeing pages already made up. I number and price the pages, and bag up the stickers, die cuts, a black and white reduced picture of the layout, and scraps of colored paper needed to complete the layout. I write the colors of pens and any border ruler I used, on the layout picture for reference. I number and price the bags to match the pages. Some of the pages are "twofers" because they are coordinated--like two Christmas pages that utilize the die-cut ornaments on one and the centers left from the ornaments on the other. (Sharon D.)
My upline gave me this idea and it has been very successful. I have a 12 x 12 album with over thirty page ideas. Each page is numbered and has a price on it. I have a file box with a folder for each idea. A customer looks through the Make and Take album, finds the idea she likes and notes the page number. She then goes to the file box, finds the folder with that number and pulls out the Ziploc bag with all the items to make the page, pre-cut for them. I try to keep six of each idea in the folders. Here is an example of how I set the price. (Croppin' Kelly)
Christmas Idea:
(triangles go in opposite corners, rectangles go on top of triangles, trees on top of rectangles and one gold star on tree tops)
2 black and red check paper triangles (4 x 6 rectangle cut on the diagonal)
2 2x3 cement rectangles cut with the deckle trimmer
1 evergreen tree mini die-cut
1 mod of gold stars
2 pieces of paper - 70 cents
1 mini die-cut - 25 cents
1 sticker strip - 60 cents
I rounded up to $1.75 for 'labor'
You make more profit if you do multiples because the entire sheet of paper or whole strip of stickers is not needed. With the one described above, you get four make and takes out of two sheets of paper and one strip of stickers. My make and takes range from $1.00 to $2.75. (pages are not included).
