Dog Days of Summer

Tired of this crazy winter weather? Stop on by on Saturday Feb 26th for a day for remembering warmer climes. Hope to see you!

Digital Ideas

Here is two new techniques that I learned from the Project Center at www.mycmsite.com/colleenluginbuhl. This is using Embossing and the magic wand tool. Anyone wishing to know how it was done just send me an email and I will be happy to show you how or send you the information.

Here is a traditional page layout that I completed today. It is using the new Simply Beautiful Products. Enjoy!

Scrapbooking Today

( It is so crazy, I can't figure out why it keeps flipping this picture on me! Just turn your heard side ways to see this :) )

How my heart is singing today! I took out a project in progress last night while the boys were fishing and I am continuing it today. I am putting on page protectors on another album and how wonderful it feels to "wrap" things up! I hope that you all are getting things done today on this very rainy and gray day. Create your own sunshine. Put in a story tape and ignore the outdoors. Stay inside~ warm with your memories of beautiful springs, warm summers, cool falls and snowy winters! Enjoy your day!

Something to Consider!

Good Morning!

As I write this to you, I have no way of knowing what is happening in each of your lives. One of you maybe in jeopardy of losing your job, or one (or more) may have the desire to stay home with your children instead of sending them to daycare, or maybe one of you would like to get out of house more for sometime for your self.

What I DO know is that Creative Memories has helped to fill so many expected and UN- expected needs in my life. As you read this think of the needs in your life and how Creative Memories could help you achieve goals you have in your lives.

Do you love to scrapbook? Do you have friends and family who love to scrapbook? If so then you may want to become a Creative Memories Consultant. This is a great way to get your supplies and products at a discounted (30% less than retail) and sell the products to your friends and family (they want it anyway right?!) and keep yourself in business.

Right now it only takes only $50.00 to become a consultant.Really an excellent and minimal investment to start your own business! Where it goes from there is determined by you, your goals, and needs! But the more you put into it the more you will get out of it!

In addition to helping your self you can help me, I have the opportunity to win a family vacation this summer. I need three activated ( placed their qualifying order) by the end of April to earn this vacation. So even if you just try it out for a couple of months it would help me plus you can get products at cost. This is a win-win for both of us.

If you know of anyone who may be interested, please forward this email on to them.

Here are some details, but please let me know if you have any questions!

If you should decide to become a consultant, the $50 get you the Business Starter Kit that includes business building materials, such as, order forms, catalogs, tips on products and Get Togethers. When you sign your agreement you are agreeing to placing your qualifying order in your first 90 days. (I am hoping that you would agree to do it before April 30th as this will help me qualify for my family vacation.) This is a $500 order which cost to you would be $350.00. This doesn't have to be done in one order you can break it out in two or three orders.

Think about it and let me know what you decide.

To Get Started

If you should decide to become a consultant you can simply sign your consultant agreement online at my websitewww.mycmsite.com/colleenluginbuhl. Simply click on "Join My Team" in the options bar at the top portion of the main page.

Thanks for taking the time to read and consider this!
