Happy Sunday, scrapbook friends! It feels like I’ve emailed you a lot for such a short month - but hopefully all of it has been information that you’ve appreciated!

It’s almost time to celebrate National Scrapbook Day!!
Traditionally celebrated on the first Saturday of May, that actually ends up being a hard date for a lot of reasons, so Creative Memories has started releasing all the NSD products early to allow Advisors to hold events when their schedule allows.
For me, that’s still May - but this year it won’t be the first weekend. AND it won’t even be the dates I told you last Sunday -after talking it over with the girls at my crop this weekend we’ve adjusted the dates because the last weekend in May just seems too far away! The first session is the same as I told you last time but the second session is moved up a week.
Session 1: May 15 - 17
Session 2: May 22 - 24 (Memorial Day weekend, FYI)
Thursday: 5:00 - 9:00 pm (includes dinner)
Friday and Saturday: 10:00 am - 8:00 pm (includes lunch & dinner both days).
Fee for either event is $100 and will include the Project Recipe Kit, exclusive NSD gifts and five meals. Currently there is not a partial-day option, however when it gets closer if there is space available I will open those up.
If you would like to add on any of the NSD products (which I will be describing below) there is a bit of a discount if you add them on to your NSD registration and pick them up at the event.

Yahoo!! One of my favorite promos of the year starts February 24th at noon - free ground shipping on website orders of $80 or more!! From Monday at noon until noon on March 7th, spend $80 or more on the website and your shipping is FREE! (Interestingly, if you live in Hawaii, Alaska or Puerto Rico, you’ll need to spend $151 to earn free shipping - yet another reason my husband and I didn’t go back to Hawaii when he retired from the Army years ago!)
Remember that CM uses a “virtual queue” on launch days to help prevent us from crashing the website (which we have done multiple times!) so if there are things you want to put into your cart now (before the new products launch) you can do that, then just click on the “new” tab once you get into the site Monday. Just make sure you have logged in to your account so that your cart is saved for you!
Ready to see what’s launching Monday? Here we go! My website link is in the “how to order” block of this email!

As we are coming out of one of the coldest February weeks I can remember since moving to Alabama, it’s great to know that Puxatawney Phil said we only have a few more weeks of winter, and then it’ll be SPRING! To get us thinking about the earth waking up from its winter sleep, we have the beautiful new Springtime Soiree collection, launching Monday at noon!
The centerpiece of the collection is the lovely Hyacinth Shimmer album cover, and the decorative products include Designer Paper, Stickers, Mats and Layered Borders. Add on the beautiful Floral Ribbon Border punch and the fun Watering Cans Border Maker Cartridge. There’s even a Springtime Sentiments Trio Card kit that coordinates beautifully and will make perfect Easter or Mother’s Day cards. |
|
|
If you know you want all the decorative products, you’ll definitely want to purchase the Buy-it-All bundle which includes:
Designer Paper
Mat Pack
Stickers
Layered Borders
Foral Ribbon Border Punch
Watering Cans BMC
When you order the Buy-it-All Bundle you’ll save 10% over purchasing the items separately PLUS a bonus Project Playbook with directions to create six scrapbook pages using some of the bundle products.
AND - if you order within the first two days, you’ll also be entered to win one of two Golden Ticket prizes - a “year’s supply” of Tape Runner!! (According to CM, which is one Tape Runner and 23 refills!)

National Scrapbook Day Products
|

This year’s NSD theme is plants, gardening and Spring! In the past, the only way to purchase the exclusive NSD items was through a CM Advisor, but since Covid, CM has made them available direct to you on the website! (Still wish you could come to one of my in-person events, though!)
If you are attending one of my National Scrapbook Day events, some of these products are included in your event fee, and there’s a bundle discount for adding them when you register, so decide about that before you order!
For everyone else, the available products are:
12x12 NSD Album Cover
Exclusive NSD Project Recipe Kit (makes two double-page layouts)
NSD Cardstock Sampler
Flower Pots Border Punch
8x8 Paper Album Bundle |
|
|
OR - purchase the Customer Bundle which includes the Project Recipe kit, Cardstock Sampler, Accessory Paper Pack, Embellishments, Layered Embellishments, Mat Pack AND a BONUS Project Guidebook! The only way to get the Embellishments and Mat Pack is by purchasing the bundle. (Even Advisors can’t buy them separately!)
|
|
|
Note that the Flower Pots Border punch is NOT included in the Customer Bundle, so if that’s something you “need” you’ll want to order it separately. |

Have you discovered the awesomeness of the Simple Page Kits yet? These were introduced last year, but the 2025 versions are even better, since they all coordinate with each other and the Noteworthy Days collection. Each kit comes with two pre-printed background pages, a cut-apart page, a sticker sheet and directions to assemble the layout. For just $6 you can create a beautiful double-page layout in just a few minutes, and every month there will be another kit so that by the end of the year you’ll have a whole album’s worth of completed pages!
Simple Page Kit #3 will be available Monday, and you can still get the Q1 Simple Page Kit Bundle which gives you the first three kits along with exclusive Power Simple Folders and embellishments. |

If you would like more information about the new products launching Monday you can check out CM’s info page here: Sneak Peek the February 24th Launch
If you are local and can pick up your order, I will be ordering on Monday and having UPS bring it to my retreat at the Spring Hill Suites Huntsville Downtown - or you can pick it up at one of my regular events. To keep me organized, PLEASE order through this Google Doc: Feb 24 Orders for Pickup
If you are not local, hooray for FREE SHIPPING, and thanks SO MUCH for your orders on my website!

Okay, that is it. Lots of fun new stuff, and I’m excited to see it all in real life!! We have another new release coming on March 10th, I think and (shhh!) I got to create the Project Playbook for that one, so I’m excited for you to get to see it too!
