Inspiration Fridays at the MemoryWorks Blog

Over on the MemoryWorks Blog today, Inspiration Fridays is featuring one of my favorite MemoryWorks consultants - Lacey! You may remember Lacey guest posting back in April when I was on vacation. Well she's also being featured today, so make sure you head on over the the MemoryWorks Blog to see what new creative endeavours she's been up to!

Inspirational Thursdays

Today's inspiration is a little bit self-serving. MemoryWorks just released its Spring/Summer 2011 catalog! The pages of this season's catalog are sure to get you inspired. Personally speaking, there are very few things that haven't made it onto my personal wish list. So, if you have some time, browse through the catalog and get inspired to create something beautiful. If you are interested in ordering anything, please email me at sashasbooks@ymail.com.

Card Kits and a Special Promotion

If you're a regular reader here at ~The Life of Me~ you may have noticed that I make a lot of cards. Although I do love scrapbooking, cards are so much easier for me to get started on and actually complete (unlike may layouts which never seem finished to me). Most of my cards are designed by me, but I recently purchased several card kits through MemoryWorks in an effort to help me prepare for an event I'm attending as a vendor. And I must say, I've fallen in love. These cards are absolutely beautiful and so super easy to make! I completed two cards kits last night after work and was so proud of myself. MemoryWorks offers several card kits with everything you need to have a beautifully designed card. As a special promotion to all my readers, I am offering FREE SHIPPING on a purchase of any card kit thru Friday, November 26th. These kits are perfect for any occassion and who doesn't love getting a hand-made card? If you're interested in ordering, email me. And if you haven't signed up for my newsletter, you should for a special offer only available to newsletter subscribers. Sign up to the left under "My Newsletter".

These are perfect for gifts or your own personal calendar. If you're interested in ordering, email me!

Getting Ready

As you may or may not know (but you definitely should know), I'm an Independent Consultant for MemoryWorks. I joined in June and next weekend I am having my first scrapbooking party! I'm so excited and have been doing so much to prepare for it. All the lucky attendents will be making gift tags and a holiday card. So of course that means I have to make samples right. Check out my coordinating greeting card and gift tag! I LOVE the way they came out. This was my first time using Distress Inks and I must say, I did quite well using them. What do you guys think?
