Join
Bonnie Cuddihy for a new Foto Fix series
starting Monday, May 24th, 6:30 to 8:30pm at Memories Galore in
Brandermill. This is a 4-week series with all classes held
on Monday evenings, and the dates are May 24th, June 7th,
June 14th and June 21st.

In Foto Fix,
there's lots to learn to improve your photos. Sometimes it's
the simple correction. Sometimes it's that photo that would be
a treasure if only it could be lightened or darkened
or that piece of trash wasn't there. Learn how to make these
image adjustments and much more in Foto Fix.
Let your photos shine!

Those of us who are scrapbookers
understand the real star of any scrapbooking page is the photo.
Foto Fix is the perfect opportunity to learn
new ways of enhancing our digital photos–turning them into Black
& White photos or Sepias. Your layouts will thank you. And we've
had a number of people take Foto Fix that are
not scrapbookers. They just wanted to learn how to fix various
photo problems and be able to use and enjoy important images
that before were less than perfect.

We invite you
to join Bonnie for this highly-rated series. Anyone with
a digital camera that could benefit from the Foto Fix
series–give them a call and encourage them to register by calling Memories
Galore in Brandermill at 804-744-6500 ext. 1#. 
The entire series is only $80–a tremendous value!

Students
need to bring their laptop with Adobe Photoshop Elements
installed to get started. We'll show you step-by-step instructions.
You don't need to know the program–you'll learn it as we go.

The challenge for the month of April
is to make any card design you like using your favorite papers
and Stickles!  Show me your creativity with a little, or
a lot, of sparkle!  Pick your favorite Stickles color, and
get cardmaking!  Haven't used Stickles before?  Ask
a Creative Sales Associate at Memories Galore about
how easy and fun they are to use!

Return your cards
to either Memories Galore location by Monday, May 2nd
in an envelope marked “April Card Challenge: Melissa Samuels.”
Your card will be judged on creativity, design,
technique,
and use of Stickles. A winner will be announced in the May 9th
newsletter. This month’s prize is a $10 gift card to Memories
Galore. The winning card will be displayed in our store.
Good luck and happy cardmaking! Card entries cannot be returned,
but will be donated to a local charity. Thank you for your support!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Monthly
Charity Card Challenge.  The winner of the March challenge
is Lois Kennedy.  Her beautiful card in the shape of an
Easter egg with layered flowers was simply gorgeous. Congratulations,
Lois!
