Cheat Sheet for Earning the You-Pick-It Promo!


As you and your customers plan what you’re going to order to meet the qualifying spend amount, use the handy checklist of ALL that’s launched so far in 2026! There are two ways to use it: 

  1. Check off the boxes for what you want to purchase during the promo — ensures you don’t forget something on your list at checkout.

  2. Check off the boxes for what you know you’ve already purchased and see where there may be a gap you’re looking to fill!

100 Bold Moves: September Week 2 Challenge

This week we're staying focused on mentoring and helping our new Advisors to achieve Level 2 and beyond! Last week in Create the Best we talked about WISHing our way to Level 2 with a real plan and projects we want to achieve. Your Bold Moves challenge this week is to connect with your new Advisors and help them WISH!

W — What do you want to create?
Identify the albums, projects and memories that excite you.
I — Inventory what you already have.
What's already in your craft room—and what's missing?
S — Shop your projects.
Build wishlists around actual projects rather than buying randomly.
H — Have a plan. Map those projects across the next several months and see how your planned CM purchases could move you toward Level 2.

“You joined because you love to scrapbook. So let's make Level 2 about doing MORE of what you already love. Show me what's on your project wish list.”

Not sure where to find Create the Best recordings?
Here's a link to the playlist!

Tina Whatley and I held our annual Las Vegas Croptoberfest this past weekend with 52 attendees! We had so much fun with everyone!
Our Make & Take was a fun border, we had a paper buffet and sticker buffet, and we also demonstrated the new Creative Memories Die-Cutting & Embossing Machine. Everyone loved seeing it in action! It was a great weekend of scrapbooking, creativity, and fun with our CM friends!
I had 3 new attendees and 1 long time customer decided to join as an advisor!! Woohoo!
Thank you to my downline Deanna Shirk Shannon for helping me with setup, tear down and everything before, during and after.
Also, to Tina’s downlines Karla and Tammy for all their help."
