Punches, Pockets & More

Happy June, scrapbook friends! Hello again, and be prepared to hear from me again NEXT week, but I will try to keep these short. I never know what to do now that CM has increased the frequency of their new product releases. I don’t want you to miss anything but oh you know I try hard not to spam you. Hopefully we’ll get on a more regular release schedule soon!

So I will make this one quick and only include a quick summary of events instead of that full column.

New CM Website themed Punches (really!)

Hopefully by now you’ve all seen the updated CM website, where they’ve tried to bring in fresh new colors and shapes. And now you can do the same with your own layouts! Coming Monday we have the following, very versatile shapes available to add to your punch stash:

Accent Arrow
Banner Flag
Photo Corner
Rounded Tabs

These punches are $25.00 each OR if you buy the whole bundle you’ll save 20%, and get all four for $80.

Weathered Indigo

Many of you share my love for the Scrap Journal size albums (formerly known as Happy Albums) but don’t love having to crop down your papers to fit? We got the “Delight” collection a few weeks ago, and now we have the warm Weathered Indigo collection. This is a bundle which includes the 6.75 x 10” papers (12/pk) plus coordinating stickers (3/pk). There are also two new Scrap Journal Album Covers, both with a cute polka dot cover design in your choice of Navy or Caramel.

Envelopes, Pockets & Notebooks

Do you prefer to make your layouts interactive? Are there journaling tabs or photos you’d like to have on the layout but not visible at first glance? Or maybe you have a lot of story to tell or you’d love to just include your travel journal? These new products are for you!

Choose from six options of envelopes/pockets and two sizes of notebooks that work with them. If you love them all, there’s also a buy-it-all bundle for 10% off!

The envelope/pocket bundles come with three each of four sizes: 2 x 2, 3 x 3, 3 x 4 and 4 x 6 in both the envelopes and the pockets (total 24 pieces per color). Choose from Plaid, Gingham, Floral, White Speckle, Kraft or Black. Please note that the Kraft and Black sets are NOT considered to be photo safe because of the type of paper used to make them.

As part of this release there are also two sizes of notebooks, which would be great to take along with you on a trip or to keep notes during an event you want to remember. Then, you can tuck the finished notebook in one of the pockets OR one of our existing peekaboo pockets!

Choose from two 3-packs, either the Pocket Notebooks (3.5 x 5.5") or the Mini Notebooks (2.5 x 3. 75)

The buy-it-all bundle includes all six sets of pockets/envelopes and both sets of notebooks, or the options are available separately.

The Write Packs

At the beginning of the year, Creative Memories released special Advisor Exclusive “The Write Pack” bundles with a very nice notebook, pen, memo pad and sticky notes, all packages in a clear zippered pouch. Now that Advisors have had a chance to order the sets they want for events or for their own use, there are enough left over that CM can offer them to everyone!

Choose from Golden Orange, Grapevine Purple or Eternal Blue. (And did you notice that the contrasting spine on the notebooks match three of our newer BMCs?)

How to Order

For more info about this week’s launch (don’t forget that you can order on my website starting at 9 am!) check out the June 8th Launch Preview page (which has videos and more photos).

If you are local and would like me to order for you please fill out my June 8th Pre-order form.

If you are NOT local or you are local but prefer to order online, I am happy to offer you a $10 CM Credit to offset your shipping charges. This is a small way for me to thank you for choosing to use me as your CM Advisor. I truly appreciate your loyalty!

This offer is open to any of my customers, just email me and say “I am planning to order” and I will transfer the credit to your CM account. If you use a different email address to log in to CM than the one you write me from, let me know the correct address to be able to share the credit. PLEASE do this by email, that really helps me out!

Thank you!

Thanks for being an email subscriber! Every time I have someone unsubscribe from my list I think of all of you who have stuck around and it makes me appreciate you even more!!

During this month where we are focusing on our Memories Matter fundraiser, I hope you are appreciating how wonderful it is that we have all discovered this hobby that brings us joy while helping us to preserve our memories. I am glad we are on this journey together!

I’ll be back in your inbox next week, then you should get a break from me for a week or two. Unless you don’t want a break, then I hope you’ll follow me on Facebook and/or YouTube. :)

Happy Scrapbooking!
