a little more about Simple Stories....

We are BEYOND excited to launch our first-ever exclusive product line - this will take MemoryWorks to a whole new level. By now I'm sure most of you have seen our new Simple Stories sneak peeks and reveals that we've been announcing on our Simple Stories website (and that I've shared here on my blog). This is huge for MemoryWorks and for you!!


We have seen a large number of scrapbookers outside the MemoryWorks community interested in our new Simple Stories products- there are scrapbookers everywhere looking to find where they can buy their own Simple Stories kits and products. With the focus on "simple scrapbooking", Project 365, and Project Life this is the PERFECT time to know about Simple Stories. There has been the buzz, but I want to share the official word with you ;-)

We’ve released product reveals everyday this week with a big giveaway on Ali Ewards blog going on now with the big draw on Sunday, so, don't miss your chance ;-)

Further, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support and enthusiasm for MemoryWorks – can you believe we’ve made it to our 7th year mark! We have BIG plans for MemoryWorks and Simple Stories as well as more new developments in 2010!!
Remember that we’re out and about scouring the outside boards looking those spreading the word about MemoryWorks Simple Stories product line….if we spot your thread or response you will be entered in our drawing for a FREE Simple Stories Life Documented kit.

How can you purchase Simple Stories products?
We have easy & convenient online shopping with our consultant websites.  You can check out mine here. No waiting for me to ship the order to you because Memory Works can ship directly to your doorstep ;-)  We’ll be improving our consultant locator listing so scrapbookers can easily find a consultant website and shop with a consultant with just a click of a button…just like you would a regular online store! ;-)  Simple Stories should be available around January 8, 2010.

Unfortunately, international orders & shipment not available at this time.
I'm crossing fingers in the future... ;-)

What makes Simple Stories set apart from Project Life, 365, etc (similar programs)?
Simple Stories is an easy turn key system that you can use to scrapbook a photo a day or just a minimum of 10 photos a day…it’s a flexible system that you can adapt your album your way….one of my favs are these monthly journaling cards….
