Children love Albums!

This is one of the reasons why I scrapbook.   I walked into the living room the other day to find both of my kids sprawled on the couch looking at their scrapbooks.  I believe kids having their own ablums is important.  As a child, my aunt made me a scrapbook with my name sewn on the cover.  Nothing like we have today...I think it was the old magnitic kind where the page is sticky and the pictures stick to the page. (gasp!) Often as a kid I would go through the album and rearrange the pictures and play with it.   Looking through the album gave me a sense of belonging, an identity.  As a mom, I want to pass that along to my children.  And I hope they enjoy their albums as much as I did mine...but please don't rearrange the pictures! :)

Fun New Products

As promised in my newsletter, I'm posting some links (and a few pics of my own) for the new products... they officially lauched today so here they are!  New traditional products are, the Reflections Power Palette and coordinating photo album, the new Gratitude line (from the Nancy O'Dell series) which includes papers, title stickers, embellishments, and an album!  (pictured below)
Big changes have come in the Picfolio line of albums, the 12x12 Max Album is now expandable!  Covered in black exquisite leather, a "window" on the front provides a place for your photo.  You must see this album!  To go along with the new Reflections and Gratitude lines are two 11x14 Picfolio's, both feature the new window on the front as well.  Numerous new Photo Accents kits are out as well to help you complete your Picfolio albums quickly and beautifully.  (cause that's the point right?  We don't have all day to work on our albums!)

My favorite new thing...you can now design your own cover for a traditional album!  So your picture, or your design will be on the front of your album!!  How awesome is that!  You can either, upload a picture, use one of their design templates, or design something in Storybook software and upload it, it's that easy!
For you decorators out there, we have a new sleek, modern version of the Everyday Display in white and black!  And if you just need to organize your photos, check out the beautiful new power sort box, it matches the Reflections line!  There's more products I didn't mention for the sake of space, (and your attention span) :) if you want to check them all out, just click here. 

                                                           Gratitude Album

                                            11x14 Picfolio Reflection Album 


The SPECIALS for the month of September, any of the new albums when purchased with a set of pages (bundled) are 25% off!  For example, the new traditional albums when you purchase the album bundle (albums + set of white pages and protectors) is $43, purchased separately it would have been $57.50.   Picfolio bundles, you get an album plus a set of mulit-pocket pages for $43.50-$45 (original $58-$60) depending on  the album.  If you are interested in one of the albums, September would be a great month to buy one!

Double Dip Rewards

Double most things is usually pretty good right?  Well in July when you host a party you receive double rewards!  With a party sales of $250 instead of the 15% percent hostess credit you'd receive 30%!  That's $75 in FREE product!  If you had $400 in sales you'd receive $120 in free product!  And if that's not enough, if your sales reach $400 or more you can purchase the hostess bundle (an $84 value) for only $44.95!  There's also great customer specials as well...$10 off the travel album bundle and 12x12 hardcover storybook.  Not to mention the 25% off Maker/punches special!  So July is a great time to host a party!  If you don't think you could get enough friends together on the same night we could always do a catalog/online party, and you would receive the same hostess credit.  

Also, I'm having my July crop this Thursday 10am-5pm and in the evening 6-10pm.  So if you need a break from this heat come on over! ;)

Maker Mania + new products!

If you like to use Makers (punches) when scrapbooking, raise your hand. :)  If you raised your hand this sale is for you!!  All Creative Memories Makers are 25% off for the month of July!  Now that's a sale to celebrate about.   If you are going on vacation this summer you will need to check out the new Travel Makers. 
Also we have new travel and sport products this month.  (Just in time for all those baseball games and vacations you will be taking pictures at.)  I absolutely love the new travel album and additions!  Too bad I'm not going on any fun vacations this summer...
And last but not least...we have a new border maker!  With this nifty new tool you can really add some pizazz to your pages. 
So make sure to check out all the New Products, (there's more than I mentioned here)!

Album Bundles

We have an album bundle special running through the end of May.  Bundle includes one of the four new albums ( Baby Boy, Baby Girl, Fun & Fab and Wish), 2 packs of white pages and 2 packs of page protectors, all for $62 (valued at $82).  That's like buying the pages and protectors and getting the album for $11!  I bought the Fun and Fab album for June and I LOVE it!

The Fun and Fab Album...it's so fun!
