All About Memories
All About Memories is locally owned and opened its doors in October 2003. We moved into our
current location in April 2005. As it was then, AAM is still committed to bringing new and
trendy scrapbooking products to our brick and mortar store. Patterned paper is still the largest
percentage of the product inventory, and the majority of this is offered in individual sheets rather
than the usual packages offered by larger companies. This is what we do best. I have been heard
saying many times “we have the largest selection of paper”. Though this is not true with the
arrival and success of Digital Scrapbooking, paper still is very important to the All About
Memories store Mission.
The retail store is a 6000 square foot scrapbooking warehouse stocked FULL of the best papers,
ribbons, stickers, embellishments, and chipboard. We carry all the major brands as well as the
entire lines…so you don’t have to choose from a limited selection. We have a large classroom
that is open to all customers during business hours for NO CHARGE. Some Saturdays we are
open until midnight hosting our FREE FRENZY. Another service we offer is custom invitation
design for all your events. We have several samples of our work at the store for viewing and
we’ll do a free 1 hour consultation.
You can also view more information at www.priceless-scrapbooks.com and if you have any
questions please feel free to contact us at (406) 892-1999 or email scrapbookstoremt@gmail.com

Priceless Scrapbooks
Priceless Scrapbooks was launched in 2010 to be the name and brand of the paper line Kathy
Price is currently working on. By releasing the logo in the retail store she hopes to have All
About Memories customer recognition of the two companies working together. With the
economic conditions and a recent injury the release has been delayed. Stayed informed on the
web site www.priceless-scrapbooks.com

Weekend Host
Kathy Price is an avid scrapbooker that loves to get together with the ‘girls’ for a weekend away
scrapbooking, talking, laughing, and sometimes crying…don’t worry all good things! Her
workshops offer an opportunity to meet new friends, try new things and most of all have FUN!!!
Kathy is always on a mission to learn something new and then find a way to share it! That is
where teaching comes in! She has taught workshops in the store and loves to approach art in a
fun, fresh and accessible way. “The most important thing about scrapbooking is the
journaling…if you lose the story than you lose a part of your history!” She loves to compare
techniques with the crafters she meets, and believes you always have something to learn from
each other. “You don’t know if it’s your style until you try it, so go for it! It’s only a piece of
paper!” Kathy loves to host the events and get to know the customers on a more personal level.
She will always make you feel welcome and at home.
Kathy’s biggest fans of her work are her husband, Darin and four children, Tori, K.D., Jack and
Joshuah. Her favorite activities outside of scrapbooking are campfires with family and friends,
boating on the pristine waters of Montana, and playing and watching sports of any kind!
