FANTASTIC sales on the Scrap'n Easel. 

I have been eying this for some time now and just purchased one – such a great price it was hard to pass up!  The Scrap’n Easel is a foldable, portable, magnetic easel that allows you to work on your products at an angle.   The ergonomic design eliminates body aches associated with paper crafting.

(Shown below with the clip on light – can be purchased in a bundle or separately)

You might also be interested in the light that attaches to the Easel and extra panels that will allow you to rotate projects you’re working on easily.

Black Friday Special - The Scraprack

Miss the Black Friday Special?  You can get great deals on the ScrapRack at Amazon.com! 

Package specials and Free Shipping!

I LOVE my ScrapRack!  Using this system you’re able to organize your supplies the way that works for you! 

Previously I had my scrapbook supplies organized but they were all separate.  Stickers were in my CM sticker binder, premade borders were all stored together, same with other embellishments.  If I was working on a Christmas layout I’d have to look in multiple places for all my Christmas supplies.  It wasn’t really working for me.  Fast forward to a few months ago when I took the plunge and bought the ScrapRack.  I joined the 2011 Get Organized Challenge Group on Facebook which, despite it’s name, is a group where  ScrapRack users share ideas, challenges & support for others.  I read up on the ScrapRack system and took the plunge, ordering a base unit and some pages. 

***ScrapRack ideas on Pinterest***

I am about 1/2 way through organizing my scrapbook embellishments (I do not store my paper in the ScrapRack) and I was thrilled to find that the CM Accessory Binder pages fit in the ScrapRack!  Even with all those Accessory Binder pages (and other 12x12 pocket style pages) I’ve used I still need lots & lots of the ScrapRack pages.  I usually do not suggest buying more than you think you’ll need but I’m telling you - most ScrapRack users need way more pages than they think.  I know it’s an investment – these aren’t cheap but they’re fantastic!  Buy more than you think you’ll need, especially when they’re on sale.

ScrapRack sales aren’t that frequent – and when you combine these great prices with free shipping – it’s a great time to stock up!

(Please note:  the 9” Trimmer is recommended for use with photos only.)

I brought my Put Me In Coach Fast2Fabulous album to my crop this past weekend and the croppers really liked the design on the coverset – they didn’t mind the different material used for it and those that didn’t like the pre-printed pages were fine with the idea of covering them up. 

They were also so happy to see those bookcloth albums back! 

Happy Shopping! 

The Return of CM Coversets!

Received my first order from CM & I’m so happy to say that I can’t tell the difference between the old & new CM bookcloth coversets!

I ordered a ruby coverset from CM and it looks, feels & seems to be just like the old Creative Memories coversets!

 

I’ve missed you, old friend!

Other than the new coversets having the CM logo on the inside back cover they look the same.

Coverstraps from the new CM coverset

“Made in the USA”

Fast2Fab  Albums 

Similar versions of these were offered by Ahni & Zoe previously and while I did see them before I was not that familiar with them.

The F2F albums that CM is selling are a true 12’x12” size. (This is different from those sold by AZ – they were not true 12x12.)

This is the “Put Me In Coach” F2F album

The cover is not bookcloth.  It has a different feel to it...sort of rubbery.  I heard someone compare it to dolphin skin.  I’m not sure about that but it does have a sort of tacky feel and it’s a crumb magnet – fortunately it does wipe clean easily.  If you can, I advise seeing & touching it in person. I do love the look of the designs on the F2F albums.

You can easily cover up the pre-printed F2F pages if you like. (Sheet of paper covering up the left hand page.)

New Tape runner refill in an old CM Tape Runner.

I think these will be made with the familiar blue color after the current AZ stock is depleted.

Paper Packs – a nice heavier weight than the old CM printed paper.  Each pack has 12 sheets – 2 pieces each of 6 designs. 

CM is looking for a source for cardstock!

Bright Paper Pack

Neutral

Primary

A few notes about other products:

*The 9” Trimmer was designed to be used with photos, not paper.   I do think that there are plans to redesign this so it’s for use with photos & paper when the current AZ stock runs out.

* CM is working on getting the CCS blades back.  There is a fairly lengthy lead time to do this but it is in the works.

* Coming soon:  Side Loading Sleeves!  You can find these in the CM Section under the “Pocket Pages” category!

The products are broken down into 2 main categories – Creative Memories & Ahni & Zoe. Bookcloth Coversets, plain pages & protectors (pages are currently only available bundled with protectors but you can get protectors by themselves.) are found in the Creative Memories section.  F2F albums & refills (also bundled with Page Protectors) are in the Ahni & Zoe section.

Thank you to those of you that have shopped via my Advisor Link! I appreciate it!

Thinking of Signing Up as A CM Advisor?

Update:  It’s official!  I’m a CM Advisor!  Here is my link if you would like to shop my site or join my team! http://www.creativememories.com/user/lisagraham 
This blog post by CM about signing up as an Advisor was very helpful - I'd also suggest to print out a copy of your order confirmation page for your records (and CM Advisor scrapbook if you will be making one of those.)

Those of us signing up as CM Advisors have the choice of signing up directly with the Home Office (HO) or with another Advisor.  While it’s true that the HO will provide all Advisors with facts & information I think it’s advantageous to sign up with an Advisor vs. the HO.
Ideas for marketing products (and yourself,) providing customer care, ways to use product, etc. that come from people that actually have (or have had) their  “boots on the ground” almost always trump those provided by the Home Office.  I think teaming up with someone that is familiar with the direct sales model and also scrapbooking and above all – someone that will respect the type of business YOU want to have is ideal.  Bonus if this person can help you wade through the technology & various aspects of social media available to help you promote and run your business.  Even if you’re planning on signing up only for the discount, or if you’re not planning on having a “big” business it’s still a business.  Might as well get all the help you can.
Your relationship with the Advisor you sign up with should be a 2 way street – after all, the person you sign up with will earn a % of your sales.  What are you going to get out of this relationship?
Your upline will be the person who will (hopefully) share their tips based on experience for providing great customer care, encouragement and recognition when it’s due, and other more personal aspects of running a business and helping others preserve their memories.  Choose someone that will support the business side of your business and someone that communicates well and often.  
Personally,  I'm hoping to help those Advisors that join my team use the internet & social media to maximize their CM sales and also help them with other affiliate programs if that's something they're interested in.  Setting up and maintaining a blog is the easiest way to support your existing customer base while reaching out to new customers. This is something I’m familiar with and will help those on my team that want to learn more about blogging.  I will have a Facebook group for our team and also will have weekly emails to share ideas, tips & information.  I’ll help keep you on track (if that’s what you want) and cheer you on!
I will continue sharing tips, info & facts to help you make the most of your time.  I pride myself on being able to increase sales without being obnoxious.  I’ve been stalked in the aisles of a grocery store by someone trying to push their products, spammed by uninformed advisors/reps for other DS companies and pushed way to hard to increase sales and recruit, recruit, RECRUIT!!  even when I had no interest in that part of the business.  Sometimes it’s important to know what not to do as much as it is to know what to do.
I will respect you and the way you want to run your business. 
I’ve always been a huge fan of providing the facts so informed decisions can be made – especially when it comes to running a business.  I will continue to share facts (& sometimes opinions) and while, undoubtedly, this might be construed as less than 100% positive by some (realistically, what isn’t?) it will always be honest. 
One thing that I love about the New CM is that you can change who your upline is when you renew your Advisor status annually.  If the fit between you and your upline isn’t what you had hoped it would be you can switch.  You will not need the permission of your current upline to do this. 
Congratulations to all those signing up as CM Advisors!  Looking forward to working with you and exchanging ideas!

Sign-ups for CM Advisors have begun!

The New CM website is live! 

Not only can you see all the new products that are available but you can also sign up to be an Advisor!

I’m spending some time going over the Policy & Procedures associated with becoming an Advisor and hopefully tomorrow I’ll be signing up!

The latest from the New CM:

The New CM is ready for you!  Before you go...there are a few very important things to note:

Signing up under someone: if you're planning to sign under someone, you MUST wait for them to sign up first and send you their link. If you go straight to the site and do not follow someone's link, you will be signing directly with Home Office. You can do either; it is your choice. But please choose carefully, as the next opportunity to change your upline will be at your renewal in 12 months.

Step-by-step signup: Please take a quick look at this Blog Post with the (visual) steps to sign up as an Advisor and set up your link. It will save you time, we promise.

Sign up as an Advisor FIRST and complete that order. Then go back and order product. You cannot order product with an Advisor membership. And of course you'll want your first order to count toward your Advisor Account Balance.

Montana: our legal team has come across a surprise, which is that the state of Montana does not allow direct sales businesses to operate without going through an approval process. So if you're a Montanan, sadly you will not yet be able to sign up or order. Please know we're working on getting those approvals as quickly as we can.

Site "Propagation:" With any brand-new website, it takes time to make its way around the internet. So if you get an error message, it means it hasn't made its way to your locality yet. Hit refresh now and then.
That's it! Follow your upline Advisor's link or visit www.creativememories.com

We hope you enjoy it!!

Your CM Home Office Team
