No January Casual Crop

Just a quick FYI here....

I've had to cancel my January Casual Crop due to a personal conflict popping up on that date. However, the other Casual Crops are still on my calendar....
February 28
March 21

I {{PUFFY HEART}} SIMPLE START!!!

Yes, I know that typing in all caps is the equivalent of yelling, but I want to yell out loud how much I love the Creative Memories "Simple Start" CD!

So, I can design my own digital scrapbook pages and I enjoy doing it. However, it takes a while--sometimes a great while--to get a page to a point where you can say you are satisfied. If you are like me, and behind on your projects, then THIS is the CD for you!

What is it? Blank templates--that's all! There are 150 templates to use! If you have Storybook Creator Plus, you can edit the templates as you need to! Here is an example:

I went from THIS:

(please ignore the background on this...I had to put in a background paper for it to save as a jpeg)

To THIS:

(I used the new Vintage Romance Content Collection here)

in about 5 minutes. Pretty good, eh?

The CD is $39.95, but it inlcudes a $39.95 coupon code good towards a hardcover storybook. So, really, it's FREE! You can order it from your Creative Memories consultant or, if you don't have one (or if you are already one of my customers!), you can order through my website.

Wow! Is it 2010 already?

Yeesh! I can't believe that I haven't posted since November! What have I been doing all that time? Well, there was all that holiday fun...and, of course, I've been working on getting my pictures organized in Memory Manager! I am proud to say that I have everything from February 2009 (when my daughter was born) to the present done and, frankly, anything before that is low on the priority list right now.

Now, onto 2010. I've scheduled my casual crops for the first part of the year. They are all at my home and the dates are:
January 31
February 28
March 21
April 25
May 23
June 27

These are all up on my personal website here. If there are any changes to this schedule, it will appear both on my website and I'll post something here. Also, please RSVP if you are planning to come. There are times when I have to cancel an event on short notice (low attendance, sick child, other unexpected event) and only the people who have RSVP'd will get the note.

Another fun thing to pass on...are you looking for some digital help? Check out Creative Memories Webinars for some great trainings. I've gone through all of these and have found them to be incredibly helpful. They can be up to an hour, but you can always pause them and finish them later.

Please remember that you can always email me if you have any questions, comments, or ideas. Also, my website is always open!
