We've been traveling across the U.S. since 2002, teaching exclusive business seminars to scrapbooking professionals at scrapbook consumer conventions and trade shows.

We have been thrilled to meet so many of you at the Memories Expo shows, ACCI, HIA, and MemoryTrends!

Unfortunately, we've put our seminar schedule on hold for the near future. If and when we re-launch them, we'll announce details on this web site and in our E-newsletter.

In the meantime, please take a look below at the seminars we have developed and taught in the past several years. If you're interested in having us speak/teach at your event, or if you'd like to facilitate a special seminar in your area, we would love to talk with you about it! Give us a call or send an email to Michael using this email address:

See you soon!
