Memories and More is pleased to offer you a quick and easy way to kick off your Christmas card-making season.

Join us in November as Gina, Maresa, Bonnie and Charmagne debut a series of three kits, totaling twelve beautiful cards, that we laughingly call Instructor in a Bag. Starting November 1st, continuing November 25th and finishing November 29th we will release three kits, each kit consisting of four cards.

Each kit features a different paper line, and we have coordinated stamps, Nesties and embellishments to match.

You will also receive a tutorial for each card, complete with photos, the "recipe" and a list of the supplies used in that particular card.
