Alzheimer's Fundraising Event
Scrapbookers Fighting Alzheimer's Disease
I am grateful to be part of this year's Memories Matter fundraising event along with 14 other incredible designers!
A minimum donation of $35.00 (CAD or US) will get you an invite to the private FB Event on Saturday June 20, 2026 where all fifteen designers will be sharing exclusive double-page layout ideas, complete with printable handouts and tutorial videos. So much fun and inspiration in one event!
Most importantly, 100% of your donation will benefit either the Alzheimer's Society of Canada or the Alzheimer's Association in the United States.
Within 24 hours making your donation through one of the two links below, you will get an email with an invitation to the closed Facebook group where the supply list, event schedule and optional t-shirt ordering information will soon be posted. In the week of the event, the printable handouts will be shared, and then each video tutorial will be released according to the schedule on Saturday June 20th.
In addition to the FB Event, Canadian donors will receive an invitation to join myself and Maria Phillips (CM Advisor and Leader of the #1 CM Team in Canada!) for the "Longest Day Crop" - a 20 hour, and 44 minute virtual scrapbooking crop that will run from sunrise on the East Coast to sunset on the West Coast!
I hope you will join us for this fun and memorable event that supports a most worthy cause!
I believe that having some easy-to-follow systems can help scrapbookers be more efficient in getting their pages and albums done. The system I'm best known for and the one that has helped thousands of scrapbookers of all levels complete pages easily and quickly is my 1-2-3 scrapbook method!
At it's heart, a 1-2-3 layout uses 1 piece of double-sided patterned paper, 2 base pages and only requires 3 cuts. Gather your supplies, photos and handout, then follow the instructions to cut & assemble and you've got a finished layout in as little as 15 minutes.
Because you use minimal supplies and make only three cuts following the cutting guide included on every 1-2-3+ handout, these layouts are simple and straightforward - even a new beginner scrapbooker can complete these with ease!
In the latest update to my 1-2-3 method, I've introduced the option of following the "+" Cutting Guide. Using just one additional piece of paper or cardstock and the second cutting guide on the handout, you'll get photo mats & decorative borders or shapes. If you have the time, energy and supplies, the "+" option will create a stunning layout!
As I continue to rebrand and rebuild, I've been listening to your feedback about the type of content you want to see here. Now that I am in a rhythm of offering a free 1-2-3+ Sketch and multi-sized Sketch Packs each month, I am working on three exciting projects that you will hear more about soon!
