Feelin' the Love...Blog Giveaway!

Feelin' the Love...Blog Giveaway!

Valentine's Day may be over, but we've still got that loving feeling...and we're definitely feeling the love as hundreds of scrapbookers are confessing their adoration for our new Simple Stoires system. We LOVE hearing everyone's positive comments about our new system...and we'd love to hear what YOU think! We're giving away a FREE Simple Stories Life Documented kit ($16.99 value) to ony lucky winner who posts their comments on our Simple Stories blog.

All you need to do is post a comment of what you love about the Simple Stories system - maybe it's the pre-designed elements, the colors, the designs, how you can scrapbook easily without the stress and guilt, or how you only need to capture 8-10 photos per month to create a year-in-review album.

Either way we want to hear from YOU!
The contest starts today and comments will be open until Wednesday, March 3, 2010 at midnight MST.

Here's just a few comments from our customers and consultants:

"I hope your happy! I actually have 2009 scrapped thanks to Simple Stories!! BUT....now I am itching to do other years. When can we expect new Simple Stories kits??? I am HOOKED!!!! :)"
~Pamela Pastraint

"I love the Documented Life kit. I got it in the mail and did the whole month of January that night after ordering my photos online and picking them up the same day. What a relief to have the whole month of January done in one day and so much fun at the same time. I’m loving recording our “normal” life each month and documenting what makes us, “us”. Thanks for developing it and sharing!"
~Michelle Nolan

"I am drooling over my Simple Stories order that got here today. It's so beautiful & I really am impressed with the quality of the cardstock! I can't wait to dive in after the kids go to bed!!"
~Allison Heimer

"I ordered two kits because I'm having a giveaway on my blog and I recieved my kits the other day. OMG they're gorgeous and I love BOTH sides and am going to HAVE to get another kit to be able to use EVERY piece."
~Beth Archberger

hop on over to the Memory Works Simple Stories blog & let's hear your fav comments about the Simple Stories kits!!

Inspiration Wednesday....Avatar 3D

i must admit i'm a "little" behind on catching up on movies but i saw Avatar in 3D this week here in Europe and i'm seriously "jaw dropped to the floor + speechless" at this masterpiece!

James Cameron is SHEER GENIUS in his creation of this movie.
never have i been in an audience where people were silent with big smiles on their face after it was over.
this movie gave me the same chills as when i saw his masterpiece "Titanic" for the first time!
{i had tears and so full of emotions}

the soundtrack = epic in capturing the soul & feelings! (James Horner always gives me chills) this soundtrack is definitely on my next purchase with iTunes!
3D of realism + animation = OFF THE CHARTS as the real deal 3D, none of those paper plastic frames from the '80's but Dolby 3D {the detail & precision of not missing a beat with a fine tooth comb......}

wanting to jump into character on the screen = i had to remind myself i was on planet earth ;-))

a love story = made my heart skip many beats

inspiration = priceless!

a must see (in 3D + on the big screen) if you haven't already & it's available in your area!!

{note: before playing the video trailer below, mute the tunes on the iPhone at bottom of the blog page ;-)}

Memory Works Showcase {on a Wednesday} :-)

Out with the old...in with the new!

It's that time again... when over the next couple of weeks many of our vendors are shipping their new 2010 releases and we need to make room in our warehouse for all of the fun new goodies that are rolling in.

As in the past - now is the time to say good-bye to some of our favorites so we can say hello to our new inventory! All items that will not be carried over into the next catalog will be discounted an additional 10% - 20% off the retail price.

This is good news for you!
