Is the general registration open? I thought it was 8pm ET? It is listed as 8 pm on everything I see, but I was just able to register. Kind of worried it won't be honored though. Going to keep an eye on it tonight. It is my mother's day present for my mom, so I hope it goes through! “Alumni Registration will open for our Alumni on May 4th at 12:00 pm ET, only. We will be cancelling any registrations from non-alumni that are completed during the alumni period. General registration, including any Alumni, will be from May 6th at 8:00 pm ET to May 14th at midnight ET. If we intend to close registration early we will announce it on each event page 48 hours prior to closure. Be sure to register quickly as we had to close our last virtual event registration 8 days early due to an overwhelming response!” It specifically says they will cancel any registration from non-alumni that are completed during the alumni period so idk. Maybe they won’t pay that close attention. 🤷🏼♀️

I just panicked when other people were signing up because it sounded like they weren't alumni either. I will be attempting to sign up again tonight. They really should have a system to keep people out.

I’m not really a fan of giving alumni preferred registration for events that sell out quickly. I would think this way just makes more work for them if they are legitimately going to check for alumni status and subsequently cancel registration.

I would think this way just makes more work for them if they are legitimately going to check for alumni status and subsequently cancel registration. I don’t mind them giving preferred status, but this one seems like a really long time and they clearly need to find a better way of filtering out the riff raff (like me). As I said I am absolutely going to sign up again tonight because I am sure mine will be canceled even if I don’t hear before tonight. The one problem I see with giving preferred status is that soon alumni will sell it out before it gets to the general population (which it might actually this time) and then it will be so popular that even alumni won’t be able to register.

I'm hoping to sign up this evening. A friend is going to as well. I'm thinking maybe we need to do a "slumber party" that weekend!

I can only imagine they're gonna have a lottttt of unhappy customers who sign up early, get their place cancelled..and then it sells out before they can repurchase because they thought they were fine.
They should've either done an email sign up for past participants (assuming emails had been collected) or had a specific time period for alumni "this day to this day" and then taken down the link in between times.

I did the C&C Delivered last November. I live in southern New England, I probably would not travel to a Crop and Create in Canada. So this was my chance to participate. Since November, I have done the C&C Cardmaking Delivered and the April C&C Delivered. I really enjoyed all of the weekends.
The community is so very welcoming and fun. I love that all of the content is accessible online, especially because I can't always keep up. And in November I was under the weather and just watched the second day.
As for the value, for me it was a no brainer. With the Covid quarantining, I'm getting one and a half to two months to the "gallon" (fill up), and not spending as much money as pre Covid. The events gave me a chance to take classes with others together, yet apart.
Catherine, Jen and Jen run the events so well. I see they keep improving every time. And they, and the group, are so helpful if you have a question.
I gave my November event Vicki Boutin album to my soon to be daughter in law. Along with a paper trimmer, adhesive and a scrapbooking tote. Hoping it will become a gateway drug for her!?! She was thrilled.

Glad you brought this to my attention - I hadn't seen the times listed, and there was no area to clarify that you were or weren't alumni, so I just jumped right in! I may e-mail them...

I registered again using my second email. Fingers crossed. When you all get your invoices will you share? I am afraid I will miss mine, google sends so much of my stuff to spam.

I registered again using the same e-mail. I assume they will understand that it was a mistake that I tried to register early and nowhere did it indicate it was for alumni only??? I did send them a message (via their contact form on their website) explaining my goof.

I registered as soon as it opened for alumni. Just the card one. Loved it last time and I really like all the teachers.
By the way I accidentally registered early for the first cardmaking event this past spring and they did not cancel my registration.

I saw the SCT email earlier today and didn't really consider it, but this thread pushed me to sign up for the Card making one! I took a long break from cardmaking and scrapbooking and now am back into it again! Mother's Day present to myself
