2020 MembershipPacketMy Simple Scrapper is your online home for a hobby that fills you up and fits your life. It’s the best way to feel connected to a community of like minds and stay accountable as you tackle your creative goals.

I would love for you to join us as a paid member in the My Simple Scrapper community this year.

When you invest in a community that supports your scrapbooking, you will find more motivation to keep creating, use your supplies, and get projects com-pleted. Most importantly, you will truly treasure a genuine connection with fellow memory keepers who experience the same joys and struggles.

My Simple Scrapper helps scrapbookers grow their skills, take consistent action, and focus on what re-ally matters most. That will look different for every scrapbooker, so we emphasize gently nudging you along your own unique path.

Each month you will be invited to choose from our creative buffet, deciding what sounds fun and and aligns with the time you have. You’re never behind in our community and you’ll be able to easily check in from a web browser or our handy app.

All scrapbookers are welcome. Whether you love paper or digital approaches to memory keeping, you will feel at home at My Simple Scrapper.

For an annual fee of $150, membership in the My Simple Scrapper community provides you with a home base for scrapbooking.

My Simple Scrapper uses an ad-free, third party community platform designed for nurturing online relationships in private spaces. You will be able to access the community from a web browser on your computer or a mobile app on your tablet or phone.

Our members create layouts, pocket pages, mini albums, and more. We encourage community members to cultivate their own unique path in memory keeping, to scrapbook your way.

I am absolutely thrilled with my membership.

This year has been awesome and amazing at Simple Scrapper. That being said, let me reas-sure you that every year has been great.

I became a member because you spoke to me in every article or video. It was like you were getting into my head and designing Simple Scrapper around my needs and thinking.

I have evolved as a scrapbooker over the last three years by listening to what you say and knowing that I “played by the rules” in my scrapbooking, but not necessarily by what was comfortable and productive for me.

This year I feel I have come full circle. Add to that the events you have created this year and WOW, I have loved and been excited about scrapbooking, and I have been much more satis-fied with my end results.

What you teach resonates with me in all areas of my life. I started scrapbooking when we were showed how it should be done at a party. I fell into a rut. I loved scrapbooking, but I always felt something was missing and frequently com-mented that I wasn’t particularly crafty, artistic but that my hobby brought me joy.

This year I am doing it my way and that joy is greater than it has ever been.

Thank YOU! I am so glad I became a member.

+ C A T H E R I N E C .

Jennifer, I just wanted to send an email to thank you and also let you know how much I appreci-ate everything you do for your members.

This last couple of months since becoming a member I have been more productive than I have in the last few years creatively. Starting with Refresh my creative life changed.

I am focused and motivated and even when I don’t feel my mojo is there I can look at my list of goals and find some task I can do to help support achieving those goals. I can now go to sleep feeling accomplished and content.

I can’t thank you enough, I have at last found creative peace.

+ M A R I L Y N A .

I’ve been wanting to write to you for some time, but just haven’t taken the time to do it.

I wasn’t sure just what I wanted to say. I knew it was “thank you,” but I wanted it to be more than that.

When I first started following you, I had almost stopped scrapbooking. I just couldn’t give myself permission to take the time, and felt too overwhelmed by how many pictures I wanted to scrapbook.

Well, I’m happy to say you have helped me see it is an important priority that I have a right to make time for and helped me see how I can take this “elephant of a challenge one bite at a time”.

I just finished a 40-page book for my daughter of her childhood pictures, and I have finished a couple of other projects I wanted to do.

I feel like sometimes I allow my “too busy life” to sweep me along , like a swimmer in a flooded river, instead of swimming to the shore and taking some control back. You have helped me do that, by showing me how to take time to eval-uate what’s working and what’s not and how I can make some adjustments.

You’re also very good and teaching me to be kinder to myself.

I just about cancelled but now realize I can’t, you’ve helped me in too many areas.
