I am so grateful for all the wonderful things I’ve experienced through Creative Memories including meeting lots of wonderful people, fun times and lots of beautiful albums filled with photos and memories.
I would not have the business that I do today if it weren’t for many people that have helped. Perhaps you came to a class or workshop, shared my business card with a friend or purchased products from me. Thank you for helping me do what I love!
Maybe you’re waiting to get started with your photos – know that I’m here to help and will be when you’re ready!
I think a celebration is in order!

Using either Storybook Creator - a free program) or Storybook Creator Plus (SBC+ not free but worth every penny!) you can create really really great gifts very quickly! Below are the templates that are available to download for free! If you are using SBC you can insert pictures into the grey frames and add text to the calendar grid. With SBC+ you can edit the page layout, add or delete frames, add text, embellishments, etc as well as change the format & layout of the calendar. You can also start with a blank template. Lots of options with SBC/+!
The calendars are available in 2 sizes – 8x8 ($19.99) and 12x12 ($25.99) When the year is over you can detach the calendar portion and you’ll have either an 8x8 or 12x12 page that can be put into an album and enjoyed throughout the years!
Be sure to order by December 13th so you’ll have them in time for Christmas gift giving! last year I gave these and they were a huge hit!
You can get more details about the calendars and SBC & SBC+ software here on my CM website!
Nancy O’Dell teamed up with Creative Memories to design a new line of scrapbooking items including an album, paper, stickers, paper embellishments, Page Planner templates a fantastic organizer/bag (my favorite part of the Hummingbird Series so far) & more! Her book was released on October 15th and is now available to order.
Nancy O’Dell puts into words one of the main reasons so many scrapbookers make the effort to preserve their memories.
"Full of Love" explores the power of family photo albums. Drawing upon her own experiences and the advice of renowned child psychologist Dr. Kenneth Condrell, O'Dell shows how photos and albums reinforce family values and traditions, strengthen family bonds, build self-esteem and show children how much they are loved.
"Full of Love" also features simple shortcuts to creating great albums, including time-saving tips on how to tell better stories, shoot better photos, and take advantage of clever tools and techniques. Dozens of sample album pages are included to inspire readers to get started on albums for their children and for themselves.
Nancy O’Dell was on the CBS Early show this morning and talked about these very important reasons to make scrapbooks and showed off a few of her layouts. You can view her interview here.
I wish that Nancy O’Dell would have mentioned that you can only purchase this book and the Hummingbird Series (designed by Nancy O’Dell) from a Creative Memories Consultant. To view all CM products or to place an order please visit my CM website!
I also saw some blue cups that I think I’ll have to get and use with the Winter Cheerful Additions!
I had a little time to play work with the newest CM products and LOVE the new CM – Cricut cartridges! Most of the cuts on these have just a few layers and only a couple have teeny weeny pieces! I am so glad for that! Here are a few cuts I made with CM cardstock and the Reminisce Cricut cartridge.
When Provo Craft updates their website I’ll be able to link these cartridges to my Gypsy or use Design Studio to weld multiples of the same border together to make a larger, continuous one (vs. putting separate identical cuts together to make a border.)
I did a quick layout with each of the new Power Palettes. I’m a pretty simple scrapbooker and love using the Designer Print papers from the Power Palettes –I they are very nice on their own and most need very little (sometimes nothing at all) added to them.
Layout below uses elements from the Reminisce Power Palette and “Cherish” cut with the Reminisce Cricut Cartridge.
Elements used on this page include Designer Print paper, paper flowers, paper frame, paper ribbon, Medium Photo Corners and Foam Squares.
Just a few cuts made with the Cheerful Seasons Cricut cartridge. The little bluebird has a bit of detail added from the new limited edition CM Chalking Inks.
Thank goodness for the Precision Point Adhesive Pen and Pick Up Square…those things are perfect to use with the thin/tiny die cut pieces.
Another simple layout below featuring the Cheerful Power Palette. I used Cheerful Tone-on-Tone Paper, paper ribbon and a paper tag. The page was laid out using the new Page Planner Templates. “Snow”, the snowflake and “2004” were cut from CM cardstock using the Cheerful Seasons Cricut cartridge!

I will be working more with the Cricut Cartridges but will have to wait a bit to work again with the new Power Palettes. I packed them up & sent them with Michelle P. who is having a “Party on the Go” – it’s like a catalog party but with lots of products to see, feel & try out instead of just looking at the catalog! Contact me if you’re interested in hosting an event & earn DOUBLE hostess rewards in August.
