Festive New Products

I hope you had a lovely and blessed Thanksgiving Weekend.

I’d like to share with you today some new products that were recently released. You may have already seen snippets of them on FaceBook, Instagram and your email inbox. I’m finally getting around to composing this newsletter; sorry it’s so late! Where is the time going???

Let’s start off with the BIG NEW COLLECTION for CHRISTMAS! Lots of red and green to follow!!!

Merry Little Christmas

Rose Red Merry Little Christmas Coverset $39.50

Is this the year you start a new Christmas Album, or have you been thinking of scrapbooking cards and pictures that friends send you? This might be the coverset for you!

This doesn’t come with refill pages. It’s just the album coverset, so be sure to order in your white, black, spargo or natural pages (which come with protectors!)

Merry Little Christmas Paper Pack (12/pk) $11

Use the arrows to click through images below to get a closer look at these festive designs.

Festive Paper Pack (12/pk) $11

A second paper pack with this collection! What do you think about that???

Merry Little Christmas Variety Mat Pack (24/pk) $11

These mat packs are perfect for matting photos, adding a title to a page, or for use as a journal box, as many are lined.

Merry Little Christmas Stickers (3/pk) $9.50

Merry Little Christmas Embellishments (45/pk) $10

These guys sell out fast and won’t return until late December. Make sure to get your order in ASAP!

Merry Little Christmas Laser Cut Embellishments $10

Another fast seller that won’t return until late December! The repositionable tape is the perfect adhesive for adhering them.

Merry Little Christmas Gift Box Bundle $95

Looking for a gift under $100 for someone this Christmas?

Merry Little Christmas Fast2Fab Bundle $89

Makes for a great gift or a quick way to scrapbook your holiday memories.

Red Rose Merry Little Christmas Fast2Fab Album $70

If starting an album for cards or random, friends’ pictures, you might want to consider predesigned pages. Very little “scrapbooking” required; you just put in your cards and photos, and move on to the next page. The layouts are already done for you. And yes, this IS still considered scrapbooking 🙂 Also consider this for a child’s first Christmas – with a Mom who is too busy to “scrapbook”.

Merry Little Christmas Fast2Fab Page Refills $35

In case you just want to add a couple of Christmas layouts to your family album, then these predesigned pages will offer you the ease of putting some layouts together. Page protectors included. You can see all the pages here.

TOOLS!

Ornament Chain Border Maker Cartridge $19.50

Keep in mind that this is a cartridge for use with the Border Maker System. You can buy the whole system for just $39 and you get FOUR cartridges with it. Imagine! That’s a great deal. Once you own the system, then you can just pick up any of the cartridges that you like. For example, this one…

I think the Ornament Chain Border cartridge is a must have, if you celebrate Christmas. It will NEVER go out of style!!!

Have you ever wondered about how to use this system? Want to see some cute embellishments you can make with this cartridge? Check out this short video for some ideas.

Pine Tree Punch $25.50

These are going to be a hot product and won’t be restocked until February! Email me your order ASAP!

Petal Frame Punch $31.50

This punch does not require the border maker system. It is a stand alone. You can punch just one set of birds, or line up your previous cut and punch out an entire row of them.

This is a new style of punch for Creative Memories. Watch this video to get a feel for it’s versatility.

12-inch Trimmer Victorian Blade $10.00

Have you purchased your new 12-inch trimmer yet? They are back in stock, so please let me know if you want one. You’ll be amazed at all the features! We have added another blade, check out the Victorian one (other blades can be found here)

What Else … ?

Wooden Fram Hanger $24

Now for something completely different (and entirely new)….

To see exactly how it works, watch this.

So, let me know what you think of these wooden hangers. I’m interested to see what people think. If you let me know, I’ll put your name in a draw to win a free one. I’ll pick a winner at random on November 1st.

Moving on to another old, but now returning, concept… do you remember Additions? We used to sell four pieces of designer print paper, and some stickers, in themes. They were called Additions. Creative Memories is re-introducing a similar concept called Theme Packs (but also referred to Kits – so, hey, maybe we aren’t quite sure what to call them yet!). Regardless, we have two this month. Here we go!

’Tis the Sea-Sun Theme Pack $12

This is for the Snow Birds and those who are lucky enough to spend Christmas in the tropics. You get one piece of cardstock, four pieces of designer print paper, and TWO sticker sheets, all for $12.00

ThankFULL Theme Pack $12

If you took pictures over the weekend, you might have a need for a little Thanksgiving kit 🙂 I’m loving the stickers!

For my digital scrapbookers, you’ll be happy to know that all of ThankFULL, Merry Little Christmas, and ‘Tis the Sea-Sun comes in digital format. For help purchasing and installing these, please send me an email!

Global Glow Recipe Template $14.50

If this is your first template (we have others to see, just click here), then you’ll want to buy the bundle to get the clips and pencil.

But if you are a seasoned Recipe Template user, then all you need is the template alone! And, with either of them, you can make a beautiful layout like this – of use any combination of your own papers to make your own creation.

What this YouTube video to see how this layout was made.

Happy Album Planner Bundle $109

Maybe the item above looks so perfect, you’d like to check out the bundle. You’ll save $13.50 buy purchasing the bundle rather than each piece individually!

If you already have a Happy Album and need some more pages, look no further. These pages add ombre elements to all your moments with fluid mineral ripples, along with graph and notebook paper, wild palm leaves and dots and diamonds. See them all here.

Happy Album Planner Kit (26/pk) $18

Here’s another one for those that already have a Happy Album. These planner pages are perfect for putting in important dates and helps you plan your happy moments all year long.

Happy Album Kit #22 $14

Last but not least is this kit of designer paper radiating patterns infused with wide stripes, dots or X’s of all sizes, and notebook paper lines in a pleasing palette of dark and light blue, teal, and golden and soft yellow. Also included is one sheet of White Cardstock and six laser die-cut embellishments. You can either follow the instructions provided to you to make the kit’s pre-designed layout or create whatever your heart desires!

Thanks For Reading!

Well, folks, that pretty much wraps up all our new products this month. I hope you like everything as much as I do! This might be a good time to let you know that I do gift cards for Christmas presents. And, you can ask your partner or family member to contact me about buying scrapbooking supplies for you this Christmas (I also gift wrap [wink]). If you are still reading, let me know and I’ll put your name in a draw to win a five dollar gift certificate towards your next purchase. You deserve to be rewarded. This was a big product launch and you stuck with me to the very end. Thank you.
