	August 2009 Edition CHA: Music to Our Ears A Pink Slice - PLUS so much more! A Designer's Dozen: New Slice Cards A Giveaway with Purpose

	CHA: Music to Our Ears We're still recovering from the Orlando Craft & Hobby Show, and the three-day LIVE online event where we gave away some huge prizes. More than that, we heard from so many of you and were delighted you were willing to share such great insight. In fact, when we asked what kind of music you played while crafting, you gave us the best iTunes playlist we've ever heard. So great that we uploaded it in an iMix under the search term: "Scraptastic iMix." So in addition to great musical artists, we had loads of talented scrapbooking artists showcase the ways you can use all the great new materials we launched at the show. Check out project slideshows for Vintage Findings, Design Shop, Spook Alley, Mistletoe, plus the new Slice Design Cards by visiting here. And thanks again to all of you who played our games; if you were listed as a winner and haven't emailed us yet, make sure to send us a message at MMInspires@yahoo.com. We want to get you your prizes! Make sure to check out makingmemories.com and whyslice.com to see the latest collections.
	A Pink Slice - PLUS so much more! If you had a chance to join us during our live online CHA event, then you discovered that one of our newest treats is the Pink Slice, and many new Design Cards, featuring MS+. What is MS+, you ask? It's a Mirroring, Shadowing PLUS Speed upgrade, all of which is automatically installed into your EXISTING Slice when you first use any one of these new Design Cards. Mirroring allows you to "flip" your design and cut a mirror image of your selection. Shadowing creates a slightly larger, slightly less detailed version of your design, allowing you to layer images to create a "Shadow" effect. And Speed Boost? Well, we think you understand how that's going to help! Best of all, it stays in your system even when you're not using the card, meaning even your existing card shapes will cut faster, and deliver more designs, than before. Check out just a few of the many new Design Cards coming your way this fall!
	A Designer's Dozen: New Slice Cards We just introduced the largest collection of Design Cards since the Slice was invented, and you don't even have to wait that long before you can start enjoying the endless creations that await inside each one.

Spook Alley (early August) Mix & Mingle (early August) Words & Expressions (late August) Vintage Findings (late August) Think Pink (late August)
	A Giveaway with Purpose Our new Think Pink Design Card inspires more than hope - though that means more to us than we can say. It also inspires endless creativity - the kind that just begs to be shared. With all these great flowers, flourishes, encouraging words, and feminine fonts, the Think Pink Design Card elevates projects to their most meaningful level. Check out these touching, thoughtful, and utterly unique cards and layouts, created using the Think Pink Design Card. And if it inspires you, remember that the card itself begins shipping to stores near you this month. So to celebrate this fast release, how about we do a quick contest? Please visit our blog today to tell us something that recently "tickled you pink," and we'll select two people at random at the end of the week to receive our exclusive Think Pink Design Card.
