Scrapbooking (Memory Keeping) Workshop Issues ...

The information posted here is rather lengthy and didn't want to post all of this on my Facebook page.

There are issues with 2 of the Workshops I have worked with and 1 was originally brought to my attention by a friend.  I want to always be completely transparent with you bringing information, ideas and knowledge here the best I can.  So, here goes.

Today I sent another email to Demonstrator Support concerning the matter of incorrect information on at least 2 of the Workshop Guides.

Memories In Bloom Scrapbooking Workshop has the following issues. 

Layout #1:

All of the pieces have been cut to the exact measurements noted in the cutting guide.  I asked my husband to go over the guide and my cut pieces to make sure I didn't make and cut errors.  The cuts were exact per the guide.  I placed the cut pieces on the main DSP base page according to the measurements for placement in the guide.  Yet, there is not enough left-over base DSP at the bottom after placing a photo mat where they want it placed.  This is the same for Layout #1 Right Page.  It seems either 1 or more of the cut measurements are wrong or placement per guide is wrong.  Also, there is a piece of DSP showing on the cover of the guide that does not have a cut measurement nor is there notation of placing this piece of DSP on the layout.  Strange.  I am attaching a photo to show this better keeping in mind I did not place the Petunia Pop photo mat on this photo as I don't cut the photo mats per guide.  My photos are always of different sizes.

Also, there is a piece of DSP (green with oval "dots") showing on Layout #1 Left and Right pages that does not have cutting measurements - it is not even showing on the guide.  And, there is not a notation for placement of this piece within the guide.  You can see this issue in the photo below with red arrows.


Wildflower Birthday Scrapbooking Workshop:

This one is pretty simple.  Apparently when the guide was generated the cut measurements were reversed.  Please see the photo below for corrections.


I have brought this to the attention of our Demonstrator Support Department and was asked to also send a detailed email which I have done on these issues.  I will keep this situation updated here and a notification on my Facebook page when I have an update.

If you have noticed any issues with other cutting guides, please let me know ASAP.  I hope to get into several more I have over this weekend to see if I spot any other issues.  My fingers are crossed that this is it but ...... I will let you know.

Questions?  Post them below for comment or reach out to me via the Contact Me option on the right or shoot me a DM or email.

Happy creating,
