Showcase 2012!!!!! New Products–Make A Wish

I hope Creative Memories shares video of Ashley, the 18 year old dynamo that shared her story at Showcase.  She has endured so much in her young life – strokes, seizures, heart surgeries & more.  Ashley dreamed of meeting  the Green Bay Packers – and that came true thanks to Make-A-Wish.  She spent 3 days getting to know the team and hanging out at Lambeau field.  Thank you for purchasing MAW products – to date CM has donated over $800,000 to Make-A-Wish!

I’m going to try to have separate posts for new product lines this year.  Last years post got pretty lengthy.  Stay tuned – Hocus Pocus coming up next!

Countdown to Showcase!!

I’m so excited to be attending Showcase this year.  Showcase is CMs convention held annually in Minneapolis Minnesota each year.  Consultants from all over the world will be there and I’ll be there for the first time ever!  It’s CMs 25th anniversary so it’s going to be a huge celebration!  I will be posting immediate updates to my Facebook Group (also called Lisa’s Workshop) and hopefully will be summarizing each days events here on my blog.

Please join my Facebook group – it’s the place where I usually post CM & scrapbooking/photo related items first.

LOTS of new products are announced at Showcase – and you can be one of the first to see them in person when you attend a Super Party.  I’ll be holding one on August 8th – just a few days after I arrive home from Showcase.  If you’re not local check with your CMC to see if they are holding a Super Party – they’re going to be a great chance to see (& order) the new products first, get a free gift for attending & more.

Link to the Super Party on Facebook 

If you’re local I hope you’ll join me – please RSVP asap so I can bring home Showcase goodies for you!  The Super Party is a great opportunity for you to invite your friends and earn free product based on their sales.  I’m joining forces with a few other CMCs & we’ll do all the work – all you need to do is share the info with photo-loving  friends & family.  Let me know if you’d like to be a hostess at the Super Party  - we’re planning on spoiling our hostesses

The Showcase fun starts Thursday afternoon when I fly from Michigan to Minnesota.  Stay tuned!

Resources for Memory Manager and Storybook Creator Plus

It’s no secret that I love Storybook Creator Plus (SBC+) and Memory Manager (MM).  These programs let you easily organize & edit your photos (MM) and create beautiful digital projects with just a few clicks of your mouse (SBC+).  These programs are very easy to use but just getting started sometimes can be overwhelming.  Luckily there are tons of resources for learning how to use these great programs!

Want to see what you can do with these programs? You filter which posts you are viewing by clicking on the categories listed under “Labels” on the lower right hand side of this blog. 

As your Creative Memories Consultant I’m also one of your resources!  I don’t want to just sell you stuff – I want to help you complete your projects!

When you are a digital customer of mine I’ll send you links to digital content to thank you for your business.

Facebook

My facebook group (also called Lisa’s Workshop) is where I usually first post about CM, scrapbooking & photo related items.
