Happy Mother’s Day, scrapbook friends! I hope everyone has someone they have happy memories about on this day, even if it’s someone you aren’t able to be with this year. If you are a mom, I hope those that made you a mom take extra good care of you today!
Thanks to everyone who attended the second session of NSD, it was great fun, and so nice to see so many new faces! I hope you will crop with us again soon!
Lots going on this midmonth! There are a bunch of new products, some promos and of course some events I hope you’ll be able to join me at - including our Labor Day weekend Rocket City Retreat Mission 15!

I know many of us have people we love who have been impacted by Alzheimer’s disease. I have chosen to partner with the Alzheimer’s Association for a 12-hour fundraiser crop on the longest day of the year, Wednesday, June 21.
As of right now I have seven people signed up for the full day and I’m sharing those names in my Nicole’s Scrapbook Friends Facebook group (in case you want to see if one of your friends is signed up!) I know this is a Wednesday and so not the best day for those of you who have to go to work so you can afford to scrapbook. :) I do have partial day spots available, you can choose to come from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm, 1:00 - 5:00 pm or 5:00 - 9:00 pm. I will also be donating 25% of my total CM product sales on that day (in person or online) if you choose to shop.

Registration is NOW OPEN for the 15th Rocket City Scrapbook Retreat! Currently this is only open to those who are subscribed to my email, but I will open it up to others on June 1st, so this is your chance to reserve your spot first!
Labor Day Weekend
Thursday, August 31 - Sunday, September 3 OR Monday, September 4.
We are trying yet another venue this time, the Spring Hill Suites Downtown Huntsville (near the VBC) but I think we will like it - there’s a back door which should make unloading/loading easier, and the rooms are all suites so it’s easy to put a third person in your hotel room!
Find all the details and registration links here:

While supplies last, CM is offering the exclusive Iron Gate Punch FREE with a $100 order on the website! This was supposed to end this past Friday, but I guess they still have punches left, so now you can add it to an order of new products!
This is a punch that we were supposed to get in January 2022 (it was even in the catalog!) but they had some quality control issues and it was not released. Those are apparently fixed now and instead of making us buy it (which I bet we would have!) they are giving it to us free!
This is a website-only offer, however if you are local to me and would like one of these, I can place the order for you to save on shipping and you can pick it up at the crop this weekend.

Starting Monday at noon, and for a limited time you can earn exclusive Green & Blue Metallic Dot Tip Pens FREE when you purchase limited-edition Solid Core Paper Packs! (Solid Core Paper packs are $10 each for a 10/pk and have a lighter weight than our regular cardstock - they’re similar to the Shimmer cardstock).
You can purchase any quantity of any of the paper packs, but if you purchase any combination of 6+, you’ll earn a set of the Green & Blue Dot tip pens FREE!
For more details on this promo, or to see samples of how the pens write, you can check out the promo details here:

Last year, Creative Memories asked Advisors to vote on which destinations we were most likely to be creating layouts for, and starting Monday you can travel through the United States with the U.S. Scenes collection!
The winning destinations were Florida, the Great Lakes, New York and Washington, D.C. The collection includes a paper pack (6 pk) and sticker pack for each location.
(Don’t see your favorite? Odds are good they will come out with other places in the future - don’t give up hope!)

Another mini collection this time is called U.S. of YAY! (I do not name these! lol) and includes a Paper Pack (12/pk) and Laser Cut Borders. These also coordinate with last year’s Stars & Spirit collection so there are lots of options for your patriotic photos this summer! |

I am SUPER excited about the new Music Staff & Notes Border Punch - I have lots of choir pictures to scrapbook! It creates a musical staff cutout consisting of a treble clef and a few music notes. |
|
|
|
The Music Staff & Notes Border Punch coordinates beautifully with the existing Showtime collection, and so starting Monday CM is re-releasing a Showtime Buy-it-All Bundle to include the new punch! So if you didn’t pick this up last year (when the bundle was full price!) or you’ve used up all the “consumables”, this is a great chance to add this to your stash at 10% off. (My guess is that because this is product from last year they will run out of the bundle sooner than usual, although hopefully the Music Staff punch will last longer than some of our recent sell-outs!) |
|
|
|
Starting Monday there will be two NEW sizes of Peekaboo Pockets! 3x4 and 4x4! They’re perfect for adding additional photos and memorabilia to your pages! |
|
|
|
You’ll also find the new White Memory Tabs (30/pk)! These tabs can be used for organizing your supplies, on the edges of your layouts OR - I’m going to be using them to divide up the months in next year’s Happy Album Calendar Journal! I’ve been using the colored ones from the Back to School collection so I’m excited to have some that will match everything. |

Have you been trying to convince yourself to purchase the awesome Creative Memories 12” Trimmer? Or maybe you already have the white one but need an excuse to get the blue one too? This trimmer was released as part of CM’s birthday celebration last fall and for a limited time if you add this to your order, in addition to the Straight Blade that comes with the trimmer, you’ll be able to choose any one of our other blades (or an additional Straight Blade) FREE! |

Being a CM Advisor is great if you want to build a business, scrapbook with a couple of your friends, or just get a discount on the products you purchase! It costs just $49 a year to sign up, and you get an instant $50 credit to spend on whatever products you’d like to get your business going!
Right now in addition to the $50 credit you will also earn the exclusive 12x12 Cobalt Shimmer Kaleidoscope Album Cover along with the Create the Best for your Business booklet and a 2023 Product Catalog/Price list. You also gain access to the exclusive New Advisor Facebook Group (that they won’t let ME join!) and of course I would love to add you to my coast-to-coast team page!
There are NO order minimums and I promise never to pressure you do to more than you want to do! But this business has brought me more friendships and enjoyment than I ever dreamed of and I’d love to give you the opportunity to see if it will do that for you! Contact me and we can set up a time to chat about whether being a Creative Memories Advisor might be right for you!

At the start of the year, I quit doing my monthly customer appreciation drawing, thinking I would find other ways to show my thanks to those of you who support my business by ordering on my website or purchasing from me in person. Well, turns out that’s proven to be harder than I expected, so starting this month the drawing is back on!
Place an order of any size on my website or make a purchase in person and you’ll be entered to win $100 in CM Credits to spend on your next order. Anyone who has already ordered in May will be entered, and I’ll announce the winner in my June email. Some months I am able to choose more than one winner, and who knows, it might be YOU!
Thanks to all of you who purchase Creative Memories products from me. I know there are a lot of CM Advisors out there, and it means the world to me that you’ve chosen to give your business to me! It’s because of YOU that I am able to host events and create YouTube videos that that I hope help you finish your own albums. I do notice every single order and although I don’t say thanks every time, I do feel extremely thankful for your support of my business!
Happy Scrapbooking!
