Whole Lotta Changes Going On!

Not everyone likes change, but I LOVE it. Creative Memories is making TONS of changes this year and I am very excited about them. If you are interested in knowing what it going on, here is the email I sent my customers this morning:

1. Biggest change: TRUE 12 x 12 albums, pages, page protectors and papers! Yup, that's right...starting this month the albums, pages, page protectors and papers will be a true 12 x 12 size. The company made this change to keep with industry standard and make it easier for the customer. However, keep in mind that the new pages with still fit in the old albums and vice versa. I've seen the new items and visually you can not 'see' the difference. CM is not discontinuing the sale of the old pages or page protectors for 18 months. So there is time.

2. New Album size! There will be no more 7 x 7, and 8 x 8 will take it's place.

3. New Album colors! Starting in March, new colors will be added to the Ruby, Cobalt, Chocolate and Ebony shades already available. They are: tan, lavender, pine and blue. These new colors coordinate with the new Power Palette Systems.

4. New Power Palette Systems! The Power Palette Systems will be available in 12 x 12, 8 x 8 and Digital. You will be able to purchase the 'foundational' palette and add on additions and kits. The 12 x 12 pieces can be purchased as a system or a la carte. The additions are for minor themes (seasons, sports, etc) and the kits are for major themes (wedding, travel, etc.). Available in March will be Earthy, Jewel, Primary and Pastel systems. The 12 x 12 each include: 16 tone on tone papers, 16 print papers, 96 photo mats, 3 sticker sheets, 4 title sticker sheets and an idea book for $40.50. The 8 x 8 include: 24 printed papers, 24 photo mats, 2 title sticker sheets, 3 sticker sheets and an idea book for $17.50. The additions for $9 each will be: Primary Spring, Pastel Spring, Pastel Her, Primary Easter, Spring Jewel, Spring Earthy and Easter Jewel. They each include: 4 papers, 8 photo mats, 1 title sticker sheet and 1 sticker sheet.
**The digital pricing is different.

5. Additional Picfolio Max Albums & Milestones Kits! Perfect for those without a lot of time, the new 12 x 12 and 8 x8 red or black albums will be available in March as well as the Milestones kits with the same themes as the Power Palettes.

6. Album Identification Charm! I LOVE these. They are available in gold or silver for $10 each. It is an adorable way to identify who/what an album is about. You can choose to put a picture in the frame or write something on a piece of paper and frame it.

7. New Page Prints! Now you can create a 12 x 12 or 8 x 8 page digitally. Print it through CM photo center and put it in an album or one of the new frames!

8. New 16 x 16 or 11 x 11 Page Frames! I am VERY excited about these. Now when you create a page print that you LOVE you can frame it! Choose a 16 x 16 frame with a 12 x 12 opening or 8 x 8 opening mat or an 11 x 11 frame with an 8 x 8 mat opening. You can choose a black, white or mahogany frame and a black, white, cream, olive or chocolate mat to go with it. The quality of the frame is the same high standard as the Framing pieces CM offers. Your frame also comes with a Story Card to keep on the back on the frame so you can journal about your page print. The cost is $89 for the 16 x 16 and $69 for the 11 x 11.

9. New Tearing Tool! This looks so cool and Melissa got to use it and loved it. This item is double sided to give you 2 tearing options. Perfect for those that want to give their pages a cool new effect. The cost is $10.

10. New Vellum Expressions! In time for Mother's and Father's Day, CM has Expressions of Him or Her. Each contain 30 quotes. They are $7 each.

11. New Paper Albums! Adding to the Mom and Dad's Day theme, there are 2 new paper album kits. Him or Her. Each are $15 and come with an envelope - perfect gift idea.

12. Customer Appreciation! CM has added some new items to the Memory Keepers Club and Hostess Reward Program. Contact me to see what you can earn for free today.

13. 1/2 Price Consultant Kit! Want to earn some extra money? Want to scrap for free? Come join my team. You can purchase the consultant kit for 1/2 price this month. I'd love to have you on my team.

Sounds like some great stuff - don't you think?
