May Newsletter

So many announcements for you.  Please be sure to check out this month's newsletter posted below and be sure to contact me with any concerns.

There's still time to join me this Saturday for my National Scrapbook Day event.  Please contact me ASAP so I can make room for you and I'll be sure to have your special gift set aside for you, too.

Dear Friends

Dear Creative Memories customers, friends and family,

First, I would like to apologize to you for not making you aware of this information sooner. I had to take time to digest the information for myself before I passed it along to you my dear customers, friends and family.

On Tuesday, April 16 Creative Memories notified all Consultants that the company was taking the necessary steps to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This announcement came as a shock to everyone including me. The intention is for the Company to use this filing as a business tool to restructure and refocus on the mission, simply preserving memories! I want you to know that I still believe in this mission and the importance of telling your stories in a meaningful way.

I have been and always will be transparent with you about Creative Memories and the business. The Company is pursuing a simpler Creative Memories which in turn will put us on the path to stability. As the bankruptcy process moves forward, my expectation is to see the current product line streamlined and because of this I would encourage ordering any products that you have been wanting now versus waiting. We have already seen products become unavailable in the last few days.

I have faith that Creative Memories will be stronger by taking the steps outlined above. Still, you may want to consider using your Rewards Club/Product Credits if you have any as a precaution.

I am committed to keeping you, as my friends and customers informed as new details regarding product offerings and events arise.
The plan right now is to move forward operating the business as usual for both Creative Memories and me. With that said National Scrapbook Day (more info to come today) and all of my planned events are still on. My goal is to continue helping you preserve and document your stories, your way!

If not for Creative Memories I would have never had the opportunity to meet and become close friends with many of you. I believe in Creative Memories, I believe in the mission and I know, in my heart that the Company will be better after this and I plan to be a part of the new and improved Creative Memories!

Please visit Restructuting News section on our website at http://www.creativememories.com/restructuring/ There you will find some basic information, “A letter to our fans,” and “Chapter 11 FAQs” that you can read if you would like more information about the filing.

Overwhelmed by your photos?

Overwhelmed by your photos? COME Saturday, April 20th from 11:30 am to 1 pm  After 7 years of being a CM consultant...it's time to really change up my business! I'm done with "scrapbooking!" If I could show you a NEW way to honor a loved one, tell a child they matter, build self-esteem and confidence or relive a special event in a way would you like to hear more?

I'm going to show you new ways to get your photos back into your life that does not require the craft of scrapbooking, but still treasured photos enjoyed again in a fraction of the time you think it will take (like entire albums made in less than 2 hours). Yes, that's right - less than 2 hours!

If you have just about given up on your photos or completely lost/overwhelmed BUT LOVE YOUR PHOTOS, this hour is for you! Everyone that comes will not regret it and I have an extra special deal for you when you come! Bring a friend that feels the same way you do to check out my NEW business!

I will also be offering this again at my National Scrapbook Day Event on Saturday, May 4th.  Since will be the same time as my National Scrapbook Day (NSD) event, this portion will take about 30 - 40 minutes (this portion is FREE); you are welcome to also join me for the NSD Event ($20/person) and put some of these tips to work for you that day.

More information for NSD is available under the 4 shared files link here on the right side of the page.

Join us on April 10-11, 2012 for a Blog Hop! 
What's a blog hop? 
A blog hop is a bit of a scavenger hunt, hopping from blog to blog. For ours, we will "hop" through our Design Team member's blogs, starting from our Traditional blog!
What will we see?
We'll see LOTS of inspiring projects - both traditional and digital - by the Creative Memories Design Team, using two of the NEW It's a Boy and It's a Girl Baby Collections. You'll have the chance to check out some new blogs that feature Creative Memories products, plus see some non-baby uses of these versatile new collections.
Are there prizes?
Why, of course! We'll be giving away one of each of the complete collections at the end of the blog hop.
How do I win?
On each of the blog stops, you'll be given a letter to write down. On the last blog, you'll be asked to enter a code, which will put you into the running for the prizes! Fill out the entry form at the end of the hop for your chance to win.
