Hi Marylen-


I already PMed you, but wanted to put some info. here for anyone else who might be interested.


I'm an Independent Consultant with Top Line Creations.


Our Starter Kit cost is $49.95. It comes in a Laptop Crop Bag, and includes full product samples and the basic paper work to get you started.


The base Consultant discount is 25%. This may be more depending on your title, or special offers.


Thereare no minimum monthly quotas.You must, however, make a minimum $25.00 purchase, once every 6 months to maintain active status and continue to receive Consultant benefits.


Please PM me your email address if you would like more detailed information, and you can also find information at my TLC site through the link in my signature.


Hope this helps...Edited by: scrappinwahm

I was wondering that too? I love to scrapbook But I don't like HOGH QUOTAS! UGH and what happens if you don't make your quota? Do they kick you out?


I have been doing a scrapbook for my Mom for Mothers day .It is all her photos since she was little. they are all black & white & some brown & white photos. I have a hard time finding something that would go with it!


I LOVE stampin up it is realy versital. You can make about everything with it. I like TLC too alot of nice items they have too. I also heard & seen Close to my heart. But un sure of what company to realy stick with.


I know I sound all rambled!!smileys/smiley36.giftoo much coffee & KIDS are home from SCHOOL!!!!LOl

Day one of Spring break! I know what you mean!smileys/smiley2.gif


I think you have to decide which company's guidelines, policies, etc. fit what you are looking for. For instance, I'm with TLC, and we don't have the high monthly quota, but-as with almost any direct sales company-if you want to build a business, move up in the ranks, have a team, etc. there will be a monthly "quota" to maintain your rank.


However, if you are just looking to join as a hobbyist, for the discount and Consultant benefits, then our$25 every6 months rule would better fit your budget. It all depends on what you are looking for in a company.





There-I rambled too-smileys/smiley36.gifHope it made sense.

Thanks I just checked out your website! It is SO hard to decide!But that is why there are SO many scrapbooking company's out there.smileys/smiley2.gif


Oh and needless to say about spring break!smileys/smiley18.gif. I had a wake up yesterday!! My daughter did have school! They never sent no letter home & it was marked on the calender that there was NO school & come to find out it was a MAKE UP DAY FOR A SNOW DAYsmileys/smiley5.gif. I was about ready to scream!!!!smileys/smiley7.gif. Now my daughter has a Unexcused absence! Plus she is on the honor roll & perfect attendance. That ended that one!!

Oh. now that's unfair! Especially if they didn't send home any sort of notice, it shouldn't be held against her-I'd make an inquiry about that!


As far as deciding about which company to join, are you interested as a hobbyist for the discount? Or is there an interest in building a scrapbook business? You'll have different questions you'll want to askabout acompany depending onyour reasons for wanting to join.


I have found TLC to be a very flexible company, that's what made it such a great fit for me. It's great that we do haveso manychoices now with so many scrapbook companies. I say write out what it is you are looking for in a company and find one that best fits your objectives.


smileys/smiley9.gifMy shameless pitch: I'd be happy to send you more detailed information if you want to PM me your email address.


Take care,

Pssst since you asked you can Cmon over and check out what I have to offer at scraps-n-such.com The links is in my siggie. If LP doesn't interest you, Memory Works is NOT a multi level company and does not have minimums other than $75 a year and that's it.

I guess no one has mentioned Close to my Heart yet.


$150.00 for the kit, Value over $360.00, this month you will get free sign up for the website and a free card set and the training is awesome!


Instant discount is 22% with the bonus starting at sales over $99 already of 1.5%. Minimum is $300 per quarter. But, if fall below that you can still stay active as a hobbyist consultant. We have room for everyone.


My website is www.scrappingbee.myctmh.com (http://www.scrappingbee.myctmh.com), if you like acrylic stamps and love unique scrapbook kits, card kits, how to guides for scrapbookers and card makers alike check out Close to my Heart.
