CM has some fun F2F bundles for sale that include this flower garden punch (freestanding, not for use with the Border Maker System). The punch is not available for purchase on its own. Each of the four Fast2Fab bundles (Vintage, Primary, Bright and Neutral) includes a Fast2Fab album, Paper Pack and Slide-In Pack, plus the free Flower Garden Punch!
There is no limit to the number of free punches per order: you will receive one with each Fast2Fab bundle purchased. Please note: the free Flower Garden Punch will only be included with a purchase of one of these four bundles; buying Fast2Fab components separately does not qualify.
This is a unique promotion because its end date will be based on the availability of the punches. (CM has several thousand more of these than the recent Heart, Heart, Heart, but they are in a set quantity.) So the promotion will end when the Garden Punch runs out or September 28, whichever comes first. You'll find the bundles on my website under the "Going Gone" category. http://www.creativememories.com/user/lisagraham
I have heard such wonderful things about the products from this company! I am always looking for new & improved ways to organize my workshop, especially now that I’m branching out and acquiring more Kiwi Lane and Fun Stamper’s Journey items. Stamp-n-Storage (SnS) has storage options for craft items including ink pads, pens, paper, dies, punches, embossing folders, ribbons…just about everything!
I’m not an affiliate with SnS but I do have my eye on a few of their products and I’m always looking for ways to save money. SnS has a nice loyalty program – and I just signed up for that. I’m able to share savings with you! Click here to sign up for an SnS account & get 10% off your first order.

I recently moved all of my stickers, premade borders, and embellishments in to a Scraprack and now have some space in my IKEA Expedit shelves to work with.
Stamp-n-Storage has items that are designed to work with the IKEA cube shelves.
Be still my heart! You can read about this beautiful craft space in this blog post on the SnS blog.

If you're a Panstoria Print Shop Affiliate - check your email for an update regarding the new program with Forever. The email came from Anna Broome using the email address of hello@forever.com. My computer thought it was spam & put it in my junk folder. For whatever reason they are not sending info to Panstoria Affiliates until October. I think this is something every Panstoria affiliate needs to know, especially since Forever will start charging to be an affiliate in October so I’ll post the information below. From what I can gather, if you would like to continue your affiliate (or ambassador – as they’re called by Forever) relationship you will need a permanent Forever membership beginning in October and those start at $5 per month.
Here is the info sent out to Print Shop Affiliates:

We thank you for your partnership and look forward to working together with you in the future.
For Panstoria customers, according to the Panstoria/Forever FAQs, the software will continue to be supported. I do know that a new version of Historian (Memory Manager) is in the works. From all I’ve read this will most likely be a paid upgrade.
I’ll update when I learn more.

If you missed the last round of flowers, rejoice! CM just received a fresh shipment of Pastel Embellishments so you can bling up your borders, projects and more with lovely dimensional flowers & gems. The product team is working on bringing us more of these fun packs in the future (with new designs), so this will be the last show for Pastel.
And bonus...if you love creating height for extra page pizzazz, Foam Squares are also available! You will find both while supplies last in the “Going, Gone” category of my CM Advisor website.
Foam Squares – great for adding a little extra dimension to your projects.
Love these fun Pastel Flowers & Bling!
Some inspiration for these fun embellishments
Butterfly: Snip one of the flower petals to make “antennae” and add rhinestones for the body.
Layered flowers: Snip off every other petal and add between a larger and smaller flower. Add bling to the center of the top flower.
Pinwheels:
These flowers & bling are perfect for cards, too! This card also uses the Pretty in Pastel paper pack. It goes beautifully with this Pastel set of flowers & bling!!
Pretty in Pastel paper pack from CM
Just a reminder: these items in the “Going Gone” are available in limited quantities. If you *need* them please order early! The paper flowers & bling are from CM Japan’s product line – they have been a HUGE seller and they don’t usually last long! CM has said that they don’t know if we’ll be able to get additional quantities of products CM Japan is kind enough to send our way.
These discounts end Monday, Labor Day (9/7) at 11:59pm, EDT.
Historian is the upgraded version of CM's Memory Manager. Memory Manager is no longer supported - so if you use MM I HIGHLY recommend taking advantage of this sale and upgrade now. Historian works seamlessly with your existing Memory Vaults in MM. If you're not familiar with MM or Historian click here to read more about this powerful, (yet easy to use) program that will help you organize, edit, preserve and share your digital memories.

You're going to Heart this!
You've shared how much you love some of the products offered by our CM Japan friends...who were kind enough to ship over some of their bestsellers!
You will find these four in the Going Gone category of my CM Advisor site. All are while supplies last.
Please do not hesitate if you need these! Thankfully, CM was able to get a limited supply from CM Japan but it is uncertain if we will be able to get additional quantities.
CM has been wonderful about updating Advisors when quantities of products are running low – I’ll share those in my Facebook group. Be sure to check there first for the most up-to-date info.
