So, there was 8 of us who participated in “A page a day…” this year.  Together we completed 197 pages!!  Awesome!  That’s almost 200 pages that may not have been completed without this challenge.  I know I didn’t get to it EVERY day, but I tried to make up for it on the days I did scrapbook.  Lana Doyle (mom) was the winner with 42 pages completed!!  Great job!  Katie Gillentine was a close 2nd with 40 pages–with 4 kids including a baby, that’s pretty impressive!  Heather Collver came in 3rd, beating me by one page:)

Great job to everyone who took the challenge!  We’ll do it again next year!

Stock up on your ABC/123 stickers this month!  Buy 4, get 1 FREE!

Yes!  I am doing the “page a day….” challenge again this year!  If you don’t know what I am talking about, let me know and I can fill you in:)  If you already know the details and want to participate, let me know and I will put you on the list.  This is a great way to get caught up before summer!

I will be placing an order on April 15th.  If you need anything for the retreat or want some of the New Products from March, let me know.

My workshop dates for May are Friday, May 9th and May 30th.  I am now taking sign ups for these workshops, so let me know if you’d like to come.  The cost is $10 and they go from 7pm-12 midnight.  Hope you can make it:)

This year for National Scrapbook Day we will celebrate at the beach retreat. Creative Memories has also set up a “Million Page Challenge” for all NSD events this month. So, even if you are not attending the retreat, get your scrapbook stuff out and let me know how many pages you complete (April 25th-27th only) so you can be a part of the challenge! I do have 1 spot left to fill for the retreat… I have someone who wants to come for just Saturday night, so if anyone would be interested in splitting the cost and just coming Friday night, let me know asap:) We are staying at a new place as the other one booked up before I could book it.  Check it out ~ “SeaDrift” at www.seahavenrentals.com

Save on adhesive this month!! For all those pages you’ll be completing for the “Million Page Challenge” (see National Scrapbook Day) or if you are coming on the retreat… You’ll need to make sure you don’t run out of adhesive! This month, buy one, get one at 25% off! You can mix and match, but the discount will be taken on the lesser of the two.

I am planning another Beach Retreat this Spring!! We will be going to Lincoln City April 25th-27th. Cost will be $75 + a shared meal assignment. Only 10 spots are available–contact me soon to sign up! I am currently taking $$ to reserve your spot! I haven’t reserved the house yet, but hope to asap. It’s at Road’s End and you can see it here.

    Our updated album sizes are new, true and just for you!  Because the pages are truly square (actual size is 12″ x 12″), you can place your paper in any direction you choose on the page. That means more design freedom and no worries about creating a layout that doesn’t go in the right direction on your page!
Our original 12 x 12 products (actual size is 11.45” x 12”), including Coversets, Scrapbook Pages, Page Protectors and papers are still available for a limited time. Check out the Retiring/Previous Sizes section of the Creative Memories Web site or contact me for the newest catalog, which has all of the retiring dates.

Other than the sizing change…  there are other NEW PRODUCTS you can check out by clicking on “what’s new” or by going to the Creative Memories website and looking under “shop products” and “new products”.  There are 4 new power palettes and some “additions” to go with them for Spring and Easter!  If you see anything you like, let me know and I can put it on my next order for you!

It’s your “LUCKY” month if you want to be a CM Consultant!!  The Consultant Kit is 1/2 off till the end of March!  That’s a great deal for lots ‘o scrapbooking stuff!!

There’s a “POT” full of NEW PRODUCTS this month!!  Buy $25 and get $5 off! (Good only on March New Products).
