Join my Monthly Memories Club!!

Did you know that I host frequent creative dates for my friends at my home every month? I've been calling these dates/time slots that I reserve on my calendar for you, my "CREATE DATES" for a while now. Some of my friends attend these dates to learn new crafty techniques as we make beautiful hand-stamped greeting cards together, while others come so I can motivate them and help them to get more of their photos and family stories scrapbooked and saved!!

Those who share my passion for scrapbooking are invited to join my new and improved "Monthly Memories Club!"

First, let me show you the cute pages 
my club members are creating with me this month:
(using the "Litte Dreamer" workshop kit)









Can you imagine your own precious photos and memories
(instead of mine) featured on the pages above?!!
If so, then maybe it's time for you to plan on joining us!

It's easy! Simply let me know you want to try it out!
Members are not "required" to purchase and/or attend every single month, but I do offer some great bonus perks to encourage you to truly commit yourself to join us consistently to get more of your scrapbooking done with me!

First, each monthly kit purchase is just $30
to create 3 - 12x12 layouts (6 pages).
(that price already includes tax and s/h that I've 
discounted a little for club members only, and
I do all of the paper-cutting to save you time too!)

Then, when you complete any of the kit layouts fully 
(with your own photos and a little journaling),
I will reward you with what we call "Done Dollars!"
You earn a $1.00 credit with me
for each layout that is done!
(which is an additional savings of up to $3 more off of the original kit price, a kit price that is already a great deal)! You can spend your "Done Dollars" with me any way that you want to (save up to $3 off of the next monthly kit or use it to purchase an adhesive refill or any product(s) you choose).

Finally, once you've purchased any six kits from me, I get to reward you with your seventh monthly kit FREE! (another $30 saved!!) Unlike some online scrapbooking "clubs," you aren't required to purchase a kit each and every month to qualify for this offer, just purchase as often as you can, especially whenever you like/love the featured monthly kit(s), and each seventh kit is still free! *This offer is available exclusively & only from me!

While local club members have the extra opportunity to join me in my home each month for my help completing pages, as well as, partake of the wealth of ideas, tips/tricks, instruction, and motivation I can offer in person, I do still welcome and encourage long-distance/mail order club members to join us!! I need to charge $5 more per kit/monthly order to help me cover the additional cost of the postage to you, but I do offer you all of the other same perks listed above (done dollars and the 7th kit free!) when you order your kit(s) "to go!" I even do the pre-cutting still if you prefer! Please contact me now by email or through Facebook Messenger to begin ordering long-distance! (paypal and credit/debit cards cards accepted).

Last of all, let me try to entice my local peeps even further (lol!) with an image that shows you what my scrapbooking space looks like. I'd be thrilled to save a seat like this one for you next time! The month's not over yet, so there's still time to reserve your "Little Dreamer" scrapbooking kit, like the one shown above, if you contact me to RSVP this week!! (my next "Create Dates" are always listed here on my blog; scroll up/down and see the column on the right-hand side of this page for a listing all of my upcoming events!)

May SOTM Blog Hop featuring Live, Laugh, Love!

THANK YOU for stopping by to enjoy our
May Stamp of the Month Blog Hop
featuring this month's SOTM:
Live, Laugh, Love S1705

If you've just arrived here from
then you are on the correct path.

If you get lost along the way, you can find
a complete list of all of the participating
consultant blogs here on MELINDA's BLOG.



Today I'm sharing this two-pocket card that is folded from a 7.5" paper circle! (cutting dimensions and instructions follow in one of the images below). I make a lot of standard-size cards, so this is something totally new and different for me! The finished size of the card is just a tad smaller than standard-size, so the great news is that this card will fit nicely in any standard-size envelope!

To create my card, I used just one sheet of paper from the 
NEW No Worries paper packet (X7220B). The marker colors I used include Leaf Green, Marine Blue, Peacock Green, and Turquoise Blue. I also used White Daisy and Outdoor Denim (retired) cardstocks, but Sapphire or Lagoon cardstock could have worked just as well as the Outdoor Denim. Enjoy!!




Now you can continue on with the blog hop
