Creative Memories Scrapbooking Items

Scrapbooking is making a huge comeback! Many people enjoy taking pictures and preserving their memories in a scrapbook. Scrapbooking can be relaxing and fun for some, and it can be a source of stress and frustration for others. If you are new to scrapbooking or have given up on the idea because of previous experiences, you need to read on! Even if you are an experienced scrapbooker, but have not used the Creative Memories products you should read on!

Creative Memories products allow you to tell your story, your way! The products that Creative Memories carries are all lab tested and among the best you can buy. When I first started scrapbooking, I was shocked to find out how easy it can actually be to put together a page. One page does not have to become stressful and take hours to complete. No longer am I searching the house for that perfect size cup to trace on my picture so that I can cut a perfect circle. Gone are the days of finding the ruler to trace a straight line. Very rarely do I even pick up a pair of scissors anymore when I am scrapbooking. Creative Memories has products to do this for us!

Perhaps the most popular items that Creative Memories sells is the cutting systems and tools. The cutting system is a self-healing mat that you use cutting blades on. There are different shapes-circles, ovals, wavy and gemstone patterned shapes available. If you want your picture of paper to be a large oval, you simply put the circle on the cutting mat and use the cutting blade to cut around the circle. In no time at all, you have a perfectly cut photo or circle. Because there are three different sizes of blades, you can cut different sizes depending on your needs. Corner rounders are fun to use to round the corners on photos and papers. The straight edge trimmer has a flap to lift up and slide a photograph or sheet of paper in and once you place it inside, you simply slide the blade downwards to cut. There is a grid on the trimmer so that you can measure your paper or pictures if needed. Making squares and rectangles is very easy. Cropping pictures is simple. There are a variety of punches and shape makers that are very easy to use. If you can press a button down, you can use the shape maker. Hearts, stars, circles, squares, hexagons, swirls, bubbles, and other designs are available for perfect punches time after time. The tape runner is always a favorite. Rather than using glue, glue sticks or tape in your albums-use a tape runner. Tape runners are easy to use adhesives that glide on the back of your photos and papers for mounting. Creative Memories also offers album completion kits, stickers and colored papers to fit in the albums.

The albums that Creative Memories have are strap bound and very nice. They are guaranteed for life and Creative Memories will replace them with no questions asked if needed. They come in a variety of sizes and colors and imprinting on the cover is now available. Pages and pae protectors are sold seprarately and can be reordered to expand the album.

Not only does Creative Memories have traditional scrapbooking supplies, they also have digital software available. You can actually go online and download their software for free! Yes, for free! You can drag and dtop your photos to make online story books that can be printed and shipped right to your door. I am a Creative Memories consultant and many people that I speak with like the new digital software.
