What’s new here at Craft Some Joy?

💙 Welcome — here are the details for a fresh new start of something special! So much has changed lately — and for me it is all part of something really exciting!

Over the past few years, Friday Night Scrapbooking has become such a special tradition. I’m beyond grateful for everyone who’s tuned in, crafted along, and shared in the joy with me.

As Craft Some Joy continues to grow, I’m making a few updates to how (and where) I share my Creative Memories projects.
Moving forward, all new Creative Memories livestreams, replays, and exclusive tutorials will be available inside my VIP Area — a dedicated space for my Creative Memories customers and Team Scrap Some Joy members (and my international friends if they choose).

The VIP Area is currently under construction and will officially launch in November, bringing you even more ways to connect, create, and be inspired!

If you have questions about how it all works, who qualifies, or how to join in, you’ll find all the answers right here on this page. 💙

  • A members-only space on my website for my Creative Memories customers and team members. It will be part of your account that you can access on my website.
    It will include new livestreams, project recipes, exclusive downloads, and more.

  • You’ll automatically qualify if you’re a loyal Creative Memories customer or part of my team.
    The list refreshes monthly to keep it current.

  • Yes! New projects, replays, and downloads will be added regularly, and all past content will stay available.

  • The new livestreams are a thank-you for my Creative Memories customers and team.
    If you are a loyal customer or are part of my advisor team, you’ll automatically receive access once the area is live.

  • There isn’t a strict “monthly minimum,” but the VIP Area is designed for my active Creative Memories customers and Team Scrap Some Joy members — the people who regularly support my business through their purchases or team connection.

    If you typically place orders through my CM link or are part of my team I will be able to tell and you’ll continue to have access automatically.

    I do monitor and evaluate VIP memberships on a monthly basis to ensure that access is granted to those who are actively connected as customers or team members. This helps keep the space fair and focused on the people who make it possible for me to keep creating.

    The goal isn’t to exclude anyone — it’s to make sure the Creative Memories content I create goes back to the people who support my CM business directly. 💙

  • You’ll still see tips and tricks for tools, die-cutting inspiration, and organization ideas — including my upcoming craft room tour! Plus how-to’s on using my exclusive products!

  • Although they will not be public on my channel, they will be available to watch and rewatch in my VIP area!

  • No password needed! Simply sign in to your account on my Craft Some Joy website to see the VIP Area when your access is active.

  • Absolutely! Simply contact Home Office (customerservice@creativememories.com) and let them know you would like to be part of my team, and then also let me know when the change is made so I can welcome you!

  • The VIP Area is a free thank-you perk for my Creative Memories customers and team members.
    I’m also adding a small monthly fee option for international friends.

  • You’ll receive an email invitation once your access is ready.
    If you think you should have access and haven’t received one, just reach out to me at lauren@craftsomejoy.com

  • Great question! POP and Monthly Meetup memberships are separate programs and don’t automatically include access to the new VIP Area. However, if you’re also a Creative Memories customer who shops through me or a member of my team, you’ll receive VIP access as part of those qualifications.

  • Purchases made directly through my Craft Some Joy shop are for my exclusive products and do not count toward Creative Memories customer qualifications.
    To receive VIP access and Creative Memories shopping credits, your qualifying orders need to be placed through my Creative Memories Advisor link.

  • Team Scrap Some Joy is filled with every kind of advisor from across the country, and EVERYONE is welcome, no matter where you are in your scrappy journey. I do hold monthly training and team crops, and it it up to you how much you would like to participate!

  • It’s under construction now and will launch in November.
    I’ll share full details and send invitations once it’s live.
