Cards, Cards, Cards!

A card kit is included with your monthly crop fee.  Here are the cards for June, July, and August.  I'll also be offering a card class using more of these designs.  Keep an eye on this site or follow me on Facebook for the latest information and the schedule for that class (I'm looking at the end of July/first part of August).  

 This is the card we'll be making this coming Saturday.  There's still time to register for my crop!

 The card for July

And August. 

Aren't they fun?!  I'm sure having a good time designing them!  These cards will only be available at my crops, so stop by and have some crafting fun.  My crop schedule can be found on the Calendar tab.

*Please note that there may be slight variations in the cards*

CM Products Available to Order

There's a whole lot of legal mumbo-jumbo behind the reasons why, but there are a few CM products available again, at slightly below the former retail prices.  

There aren't any CCS blades or replacement blades for the old trimmers, nor will you find any white or spargo pages listed.  

There are, however, coversets available, and you can order white or spargo pages with protectors from Ahni & Zoe that will fit in the CM coversets just fine.  Those page/protector sets cost $29.50 for a set of 16, which is comparable to CM's pre-bankruptcy prices.  

If you are looking for Tape Runner or Refills, those are also available through Ahni & Zoe, at prices of $9.50 & $8.50 respectively.  The A&Z refills fit the most recent CM tape runner.  

I am still an Ahni & Zoe Consultant, though I don't plan to stay one much longer.  I will either deactivate by the end of this month, having not met my minimum purchase requirement, or, in the event that ya'll order lots and lots of stuff, I'll be resigning by July 31.  It is time for me to move on to other things, but fear not!  I'll still be offering classes and workshops, and working to build Erica's Memory Solutions.  

To view the Ahni & Zoe products, click here.  White/Spargo pages are found under "Other."

To view the CM Outlet products, click here.  Please note that all products are While Supplies Last.  

Please order directly through me, as I no longer show up in any kind of search on the website and would not get credit or commission from your order.  I'm happy to help you complete it, and I deliver!  I still accept Visa & Mastercard, personal checks, and cash.  

Drumroll please.........

My business has a name!

Erica's Memory Solutions
Offering creative and innovate answers for your photo crafting needs

The winner of the "Name My Business" Contest is.....

Susan Elder!

She provided me with a very long list of possibilities and it was from those ideas that the name was born.

Susan won an album from Ahni & Zoe, with a pack of refill pages, plus a slide-in pack, and a black pen!  Sh was so excited, and so am I to finally have a name for this creative adventure of mine.

Thanks Susan!

Two Sales You Want to Know About!

First, from Panstoria:

Spring Content Sale - 30% off

Spring seems like it has been a long time coming this year, but it's finally here. To celebrate, we have marked down all digital content in the Panstoria.com store by 30%! That's right, all content from Panstoria, Creative Memories, Cottage Arts, pixels2Pages, Kaisercraft, Little Feet Digital Designs, and Simply Kelly Designs is now available for 30% off the original price.

No coupons are necessary, as the prices in the store have already been reduced.

The sale runs only through the end of March so get your content now.

Be aware that most of the artwork will only work with Artisan (Panstoria's version of StoryBook) though the Creative Memories content should work just fine with StoryBook Creator Plus.
