Spring 2008
| I know, it's been an eternity since you've seen one of these from me, but 2006 and 2007 were crazy years! I got married in the fall of 2006 and in 2007, I spent most of my time training for a Half Ironman triathlon. Of course, I have wonderful pictures to commemorate both events and have been busy trying to get them into albums. But enough about me....There is some wonderful news in the Creative Memories world -- which is that CM is moving to a true 12x12 and 8x8 album/page sizes! That's right! So why the change? Now you can flip a piece of paper, and because the page and the paper are truly square, it will fit in any direction on your page! And, with this sizing change, you can now fit two 4 x 6 photos horizontally on your page - no cropping needed. And the first new products to take advantage of this are our Power Palette offerings with four brand new palette options - all available with true 12 x 12 or 8 x 8 sizing! Pick from Primary, Jewel, Earthy or Pastel. Each palette is versatile enough to fit almost any project (see below for more details) We've introduced quite a few products in the last few months - of course I'm especially excited about the new wedding products, so without further ado, here they all are! If you would like to place an order, please feel free to contact me by phone or email. Kimberly Lau If you have problems reading this email, please let me know and I can send this to you in a plain text format. NEWSLETTER CONTENTS: |
New Album Options
The first of our new 12x12 and 8x8 true sizing albums are here! Blue, Chocolate, Green, Ebony, Cobalt & Ruby! Those of you who have used CM products know that this is a change for us so there may be some questions about this new sizing change, so I'm here to help give you some answers! Q: Can you explain the move to the 12x12 size? Q: How long will I be able to purchase previously sized refills, papers and albums? Q: Will the previous size pages fit in the new albums? Q: What other album colors will be available? |

Top row: Designer Prints Paper ($11), Tone-on-Tone paper ($11), Storybox Journaling Boxes ($10.50)

Paper Album Kits for Her and Him ($15 each)
These Paper Album Kits are easy to use and even quicker to finish! And the final product will be a lavish mini photo album with NO cutting required!

Expressions of Her and Expressions of Him Vellum Accents ($7 each)
Accent your pages with black-text quotes, poems and titles on clear vellum. Ideal for journaling prompts and decorative enhancements. They work well with the Paper Album Kits above as well! Both sets features 30 quotes and sayings in multiple sizes. (Tip: Frosted splits are perfect for adding vellum to your pages because they don't show through.)
Top Row: Earthly Milestones Album Kit, Jewel Milestones Album Kit
Bottom Row: Pastel Milestons Album Kit, Primary Milestones Album Kit ($12 each)
I absolutely love the PicFolio Albums when I need a quick and easy way to create albums without worrying about placement and page designs -- and these Milestone Album Kits are one of the best ways you can spruce up your PicFolio pages! A PicFolio Album and a coordinating album kit also make great gifts for friends or family who always say "I love your albums but I just don't have the time/energy/creativity to do this" or the perennial "I'm just not craftsy like you" :-)
In addition to these Milestone Album Kits, there are also other great kits like the Pink & Blue Milestones Kit (perfect for Easter picts as well as the obvious baby boy and baby girl albums), the Celebration Milestones Kit (for anything you want to celebrate, including completing an album!), and the Everyday Milestones Kit (for your every day memories) and more!
Tearing Tool $10
You can now add texture to your projects with the Tearing Tool!
This easy-to-use tool provides you with two different edge patterns
and produces tears that look natural.
Album Identification Charm in Gold & Silver ($10 each)
An Album Identification Charm is a beautiful way to identify or distinguish between albums of the same color or size on your bookshelf. While they were specifically created for PicFolio Albums, these charms can be used with any type of album. Simply cut a picture or title a piece of paper and slide it in the charm. Tip: Use our Square Maker to cut a 1-inch square to slide in the charm!
