August new products (in July!)

Hello from Louisville Kentucky! Actually by the time you read this I will be headed home after a fun weekend of sharing Creative Memories with some of my team members and friends old and new up here! I was honored to be able to tag along with Diane Lampert from the CM Home Office on the first trip where CM has been able to send a corporate representative to assist our Louisville Advisors!

It was also awesome because I got to see all of the brand new Birthday Bonanza collection the same day it launched!! I can’t even order it till Monday, but seeing it in person was fantastic. You’re going to love it!

Also, a million thank yous to all of you who were able to attend my Create & Connect on Thursday night, especially those who brought a friend! Our scrapbooking hobby is so wonderful, and I truly believe that there are lots of other people who need what we have!

Project Recipe Class

Weekend crops (Friday noon - 9:00 pm and/or Saturday 10:00 am - 6:00 pm) Our regular cropping events. We’re glad to have you whether you can attend one of the days or both! I’ll contact you a couple of days ahead to talk about our potluck plans!
August 11 & 12 - our Farewell summer “luau”! Wear your best Hawaiian touristy attire and we’ll have one last blast as the kids head back to school. If we’re lucky I might even be able to get us a live ukulele player! ;)
August 25 & 26 - no theme, just come crop with your friends!

*Zoom crops happen every Tuesday morning whether I am able to attend or not - several of the girls go on without me!

Rocket City Scrapbook Retreat

Mission 15 of the Rocket City Scrapbook Retreat is almost ready to launch, August 30 - September 3 or 4! We have not sold out yet so I am able to offer you the option of a “half” retreat. Choose Thursday - Saturday (3:00 pm - 3:00 pm) or Saturday - Monday (3:00 pm - 3:00 pm) for $150 or the coveted Friday-Saturday spot (9:00 am Friday until midnight Saturday) for $175. Contact me if you have questions!

Borders Buffet Promo!

Have you seen the awesome 13x13 Silicone Mat that was part of the Adhesive Buffet a few months ago? Are you regretting that you didn’t get your hands on one? Well here’s a chance to get one that I think is even better!

For a limited time starting Monday at noon CT (while supplies last OR until noon on August 8th) when you purchase 6+ qualifying laser borders or border stickers (or bundles that include either of those items!) you will earn the new 5x13” Silicone Border Mat FREE! I think this size will be a lot easier to use than the bigger one, because you only need it to be wide enough to put repositionable adhesive on a border, right?

All qualifying products will be marked with a “qualifies for border buffet” banner on Monday starting at noon. You can also see them all together by going to the DEALS tab on the website — I will also include the flyer with the list of products at the end of this email, in case you want to start filling your shopping cart now!

It’s a BIRTHDAY BONANZA!

I promise I don’t love every single product Creative Memories has come out with this year, but OH I love this next collection!

Everybody has a birthday! If you’re lucky, you get to have lots of them - and most of us take a lot of photos of the people we love on their birthdays! I have been lucky enough to see the Birthday Bonanza collection in person already and it is GREAT! The colors are bright and vibrant and the designs have options that will work for men or women, adults or kids! I especially love the embellishments that have letters to spell out HAPPY BIRTHDAY and the way the new Border Punch works with the leftovers from the BMC!

12x12 Birthday Bonanza Album Cover
Birthday Bonanza Designer Paper Pack
Birthday Bonanza Fast2Fab Paper Pack
Birthday Bonanza Variety Mat Pack
Birthday Bonanza Stickers
Birthday Bonanza Embellishments

Balloons & Stars Border Punch
Confetti Border Maker Cartridge

I really really hope that Creative Memories has figured out the inventory management for this one, but I would not be surprised if it sells out fast. Birthday is a collection they plan to keep for a couple of years so odds are they have plenty and/or plan to order again, but if you know you love it and you can possibly afford to, you might want to order right away! The Birthday Bonanza Buy-it-All-Bundle is your best value, you get all the components of the collection (except the album cover) with one click AND save 10%

There is also a great 8x8 Paper Album with the Birthday Bonanza theme - for just $10 you can give a gift that is SO much more than a regular card! I’ve learned a lot more about these paper albums over the past few days and I’m truly beginning to be converted to all the possibilities!

Join my team!

Have you ever considered becoming a Creative Memories Advisor? I am so glad I decided to do it and want to make sure that anyone else who is looking for a way to combine their hobby with the opportunity to either earn a little extra income OR just to save a bit on their own purchases has that chance too!

Right now I am working to earn a trip to Puerto Vallarta so by helping yourself you can also help me! I would love to tell you more. Beginning August 1st, when you join for just $49, not only do you get an immediate $50 CM Credit to spend on your first order, but you’ll get this adorable Sea Turtles album FREE! The ONLY way to get it is to become an Advisor, it will not be available for sale otherwise!

You can find out more on my website or I would love to give you details. There’s no commitment, a low sign-up cost, your own personal website AND best of all, no minimum purchase requirements! What have you got to lose??

The Sea Turtles album begins on TUESDAY, but if you had your heart set on the Floral Kaleidoscope album cover, you can get that one instead if you join by midnight on Monday, July 31! (And as an Advisor you can then purchase one Sea Turtles album cover as a sample! So it’s the best of both worlds!

Thank you!

Because the August new products are coming while we are still in July, my July virtual door prize drawing winners will be announced in my next email, probably on August 13, so you still have a chance to enter to win $100 in CM Credits! Simply make a purchase of any size with me either online or in person during the month of July, and you’ll be entered to win! (If you order starting Tuesday you’re automatically entered to the August drawing!)

You do NOT need to make a purchase in order to enter the drawing! If you email me with the words “July drawing entry” (or “August drawing entry”, depending on when you see this or want to do it!) that will also give you an entry!

The time I was able to spend with Diane from CM Home Office this weekend just reinforced for me how much I love this company and this business, and how very lucky I am to have discovered something that has brought me such remarkable friends and scrapbooking buddies. Thank you SO much for all the joy you bring into my life! I truly truly appreciate you!

Happy Scrapbooking!
