Three members, Denise Beckmann, Jarzelle McCollough, and Theresa Casad, of "Croppe-a-lotte Crew" (their chapters name) were selected to have their layouts in the idea book, scheduled for release sometime in September. In addition to the three members being featured in the idea book, both Jarzelle McCollough and Denise Beckmann were asked to be members of the Pine Cone Press Design Team, which means their names and layouts will be featured in other idea books to come by Pine Cone Press. The Memory Zone is very proud of all three of featured artists. If you know these individuals, be sure to congratulate them on a job well done. All are invited to stop in and see their layouts first hand on display.
