Greetings croppers! It's hard to take a babymoon from blogging, so I thought I'd pop in and at least update you with the latest Creative Memories specials.

Finish It Up!

If you haven't finished some of those albums in the older sizes, right now is a great time to do it! The Finish It Up Bundles come with Original 12x12 refill pages, page protectors, and a tape runner for only $25.

The Make it for Dad featured project comes with everything you need to make the perfect Father's day gift: Ltd. Ed. All-Star Paper Album Kit and a Tape Runner. And you’ll get the Galaxy Micro Maker ($8.50 retail value) for free!

Upgrade to Memory Manager 3.0

It's Here! The newest version of Memory Manager is available for download or on CD. If you haven't seen this fabulous software for organizing and editing digital photos, you are missing out! Check out what Memory Manager 3.0 can do, check out the Help Zone.

Take a look at these and the rest of the new products on my personal website.

Custom party invitations

Sweet. I can make custom party invitations & announcements. They'd only cost about $0.79 each for a set of 20 (cost goes down if you order more).  I'd love to make some for someone at cost.  Since I'm just starting out and all.

Make a recipe book

Do you have a stash of secret family recipes sitting around?  Does your mom's group or church group want to create something truly unique?  Why not make a recipe book?

 

With the free StoryBook Creator 2.0 software and the Recipe Book Predesigned Pages, you can simply drag and drop your photos, type in your recipes, and have a one-of-a-kind recipe book!  The Predesigned Pages kits come with 30 templates in either 8x8, 11x8.5, and 12x12 so you can make the recipe as big or small as you want. 

The Recipe Predesigned Page kits are found as downloads under the "Digital Scrapbooking" section of my personal website for $7.95 each.  Completed StoryBooks are ordered through CMPhotocenter.com.  See more information about StoryBook pricing here.  Discounts are available when StoryBooks are purchased in quantities of 10 or more!

If you'd like help creating your recipe book or would like to comission me to do one for you, feel free to email me.

Featured Projects

I'm trying to decide which Featured Project to use in an upcoming workshop.  They are all just so neat that I'm having a hard time deciding.

Made With Love

Total Value (US) $29.50

Price (US) $22.00

It's probably a little late for this one if customers want to work on it for Valentine's Day, but say we have a workshop for this and it's geared more toward Mother's Day...

CM Description:

 Message Center

I love the Message Center idea a lot.  It's a nice way to display a calendar, plus little notes & messages throughout the year.  A lot of people, even non-scrapbooking people, would find this project to be fun and useful.

CM Description: 

This bundle includes the Mini Everyday Display, Calendar Mats and the Calendar Month and Week Title Stickers. And you’ll get the Celebrate Max Kit for free!

Click here to view and print this project’s Idea Sheet. By following these easy instructions, you can create a clever 2009 monthly calendar to keep you organized.

Our Heritage

Total Value (US) $84.50

Price (US) $65.00

I know a lot of people who are starting to ask about what they should do with their parents' or grandparents' photographs.  The photos are falling out of the old albums and they just don't know how they should go about putting them into new albums.  The Our Heritage project is perfect for people who don't have a lot of time to work on a new album because they really can finish this in one sitting.

CM Description:

This bundle includes a 12 x 12 PicFolio™ Max Album in chocolate and the 12 x 12 Heritage Power™ Palette Kit. Plus you’ll get the 12 x 12 Heritage Paper Pack and one box of Medium Photo Mounting Corners for free!

Following the easy instructions, you’ll decorate 32 paper pages featuring your family’s photos and stories and slide them into the album’s sleeves. Mount heritage photos permanently to the pages or use the complimentary photo mounting corners to float-mount at least 60 pictures (allowing you to remove them later, if needed). Take this opportunity to interview relatives and capture the stories of days gone by. Your family will treasure this keepsake for generations to come.

Visit the Project Center to view and print this project’s Idea Sheet.

So what do you think?  Which project would you want to work on most?

No More Excuses!

One of the most popular reasons people give me for not "getting into" scrapbooking is, "I don't have time!"

I understand.  Believe me!  I don't have time every day to pull out ALL of my tools, ALL of my photos, and ALL of my paper.  And don't get me started on the days when I don't even know what I want to work on!  (I won't tell you hwo many albums I have in progress...)

So what if you have a project in mind but need a quick way to get it done?  There are definitely a few options for you.

Go Digital!


If most of your photographs are digital, they're most likely sitting on your hard drive, just waiting for you to print.  Am I right?  Here are some things to do with your digital pictures:

• Upload them to CMPhotocenter.com and get them printed for super cheap.
• Create a StoryBook!  You can still get StoryBook Creator 2.0 for free and download tons of cute (free) themes to make your own keepsake photo album.
• Create lots of unique photo gifts on CMPhotocenter.com like mugs and Personalized Poems

Use my CM ID 21652231 when you register for CMPhotocenter.com and get 20 free prints!
 
Paper Album Kits!

Paper Album Kits are a quick and easy way to complete a giftable album for someone special in your life.  Each kit comes with everything you need to create your album: photo mats, embellishments, and an envelope for mailing!  Everything is perfectly coordinated, so there's no need to hunt around for just the right stickers to match.

Psst!  There are three Paper Album Kits on sale in the While Supplies Last section of my website.

Quick Kits!

I love Quick Kits!  There was one day that I sat down with the 8 x 8 Pet Quick Kit and said, "I'm going to finish this today."  You know what?  I DID.  It was such a fun and satisfying way to put together an entire album in a short amount of time!

Like the Paper Album Kits, the PicFolio Quick Kits come with everything you need to create a perfectly coordinated album.  Seriously--just add pictures!

PicFolio Quick Kits come in 8 x 8 or 12 x 12 album sizes.  Visit my website for more details!


So what are you waiting for?  No more excuses!  You DO have time to put those pictures in albums, and if you ever need help, I'm always here.  :)

Baby Gift Guide

I know a few people who are expecting this year (myself included!) and a good friend of mine got me thinking about what a new mom might want to get to help her preserve all those precious memories.  With so many options in the keepsakes section of those big baby stores, moms might feel overwhelmed when looking for just the right baby book or keepsake box.  I hope this gift guide helps!

The Treasures Journal jar is a ceramic keepsake jar that comes with a 40-page pad of journaling boxes.  You can record all the little things that happened, milestomes, or funny things someone said.  Keep these moments in the jar or save them for future use in an album with pictures.

I love this Keepsake Display because it can be hung on the wall of your child's room, in the kitchen, or anywhere you want to display photos, calendars, or memos.  The front is magnetic and it can be opened up to reveal a French bulletin board and a compartment for storing papers.  Not only THAT, but it can be turned to open from the left or the right!

What's a mom to do with all those digital pictures?  Organizing photos can be a real pain and extremely time-consuming.  New moms don't have time to do it all, you know!  Memory Manager is a fabulous software that makes it SO easy to organize and sort all those digital pictures.  Combined with StoryBook Creator Plus in the Click It II Collection, they make a fantastic gift for moms who want to capture every moment and share with all their friends and family.  With the StoryBook software, not only can mom make a special keepsake book (and order several copies for her family and friends) she can also create custom birth announcements, party invitations, and holiday cards!

For a mom who has always been interested in scrapbooking but knows that she probably won't have the time, the Slide It Collection is just right.  The collection comes with Milestones albums in three different sizes, a set of pens, and a tape runner.  Combine this collection with a Pink and Blue Milestones Album Kit and you've given a new mom a great time-saving gift!

Gifts Under $25

 

Paper Album Kits come with everything you need to create a beautiful keepsake album.

 

The Once Upon a Baby Boy & Once Upon a Baby Girl Album Kits* make it easy to create a beautifully coordinated album.  The kits include chapter starters, Perfect Fit paper, stickers, and journaling boxes.

The Little Girl and Little Boy Album Kits* feature really cute artwork like flowers and ladybugs, or rocketships and caterpillars.

If mom is already into scrapbooking, there are also tons of stickers and embellishments (under $10!) available to add to her scrapbooking supplies.

If you'd like to create a gift registry with me, email me and I can set up a Virtual Baby Shower for you on my website.  Not only will you be able to let your family know that you'd like some great gifts, but you'll be eligible to earn Hostess Rewards!

*While supplies last.  These products are retiring!
