If you are looking for Creative Memories then you are in the right place. Check out this review:
In this review of Creative Memories, I’m going to show you both the good and the bad. After all, what’s a review without some honesty, right? First, I have to tell you upfront that Creative Memories is my favorite choice. Sure, there’s other products in the same class, but frankly, none of them as good (in terms of quality). I do have to say this though. some other products may be better, but based on quality and price, Creative Memories is the clear winner.
Who has worked with creative memories and what was your experience?
I love scrapbooking Creative Memories and am thinking of selling, but I would like to know what others have experienced. Please feel free to give me the good and the bad. Thanks for your help.

I’m not familiar with that program, but it probably works just like all the others:Software like that has you work on a project which uses its own file format, no other program knows how to read it. You work on that project, save it, close it, re open it, edit it, etc until you’re happy with it.At this point, you need to either “render” it or just “save as” something common like a jpg. You will still have the original project to go back to, but you use that second file to send out/upload/print etc.Your program has help files and possibly even tutorials that explain such questions.
I am currently a CMC. You have to sell $500 retain in a 3 month period ($350 at cost), plus you pay sales tax on the retail amount and have an $18 S/H charge. What does this amount to? Approximately $125 per month (to spend). If you don’t meet your sales minimum you will just deactivate, and if you want to reactivate within 6 months of deactivation you will only have to pay a $50 reactivation fee. If you wait past the 6 months you will need to buy a whole new kit.I have not been a huge success at this, but I have been a consultant for 4 years. I mostly do it for my own supplies plus a few others. I don’t sell enough to earn any money, but I do get my supplies “at cost”, which is 70% of retail (or 30% off).If you were to sign an agreement today, you would need to place your first order by Sept 30th (I believe). Your signing consultant will most likely lead you to believe you have to do it in 30 days, but you actually have 90. The calendar is a rolling quarter system, and each month starts on the 1st and ends on the last day of the month, but usually moves to Friday if the last day falls on a weekend.If you are serious about becoming a CMC for a business, I would suggest you schedule your first class or two prior to signing your agreement, and plan to have your kit right before your class, this way you are not wasting your first month waiting for your kit, waiting for your class, etc. Your signing CMC can probably loan you some catalogs and other business materials until your kit arrives.Does all of this help?

I would either contact my consultant and let her start talking with the company for you. We spend a lot of money with them, and they are usually glad to help. Or try the website and see if there is a form for emailing them questions. Hope this helps.
arts cow .comi love the site! cheap and you might even get a free or discount book if you sign up ! plus you get over 1000 free prints and I use this site for my art!
When I went to a show, the consultant said depending on how thick your pages are… two or three packs of pages. So, there are 15 pages/pack. That would mean anywhere from 30-45.Hope this helps.
Hello, my name is Melanie and I am a creative memories consultant. If you could email me and give me a more descriptive idea of what it looks like I could probably tell you what the name of it is, or find out from my sister in law who is also a creative memories consultant and has been for 10 years. My email address is melaniehessecm@sbcglobal.net
Definitely buy your stickers and paper elsewhere. Check Wal-Mart and Target for this, or for specialized paper, try Michael’s or JoAnn Fabrics. I like CM books and refills, and their little cropping system, but just about everything else I have found much cheaper elsewhere. Have fun!
I have been a consultant for about a year and a half and have LOVED every minute of it. If you love to scrapbook and are thinking of becoming a consultant, you need to look at how this business can work for you. There are a bunch of different ways for you to run your business. Do you have a consultant that you can talk to about your interest and better understand the ins and outs? If you would like, I would be happy to help you answer some more specific questions. I know that I had a bunch and it helps if someone is able to answer them for you before you sign up. I can tell you that by thinking and doing some leg work before signing on I was able to get a really great start to my business.
I buy thru my local consultant- that way there are no postage fees. However, try their contact page on the website, and email them about details…don’t feorget to add your postcode/ zip code. I contacted them thru their website, then they had their consultant call me back…as it turns out, she lives less than 3 km from me and we’re in a rural area. She doesn’t add money onto the price (as they shouldn’t), orders products in for me (it takes 3 days max)…goood luck! It’s a great hobb y!!
If she didn’t receive a W2, she’s self employed.File Schedule C or C-EZ to account for the income and business expenses.File Schedule SE to calculate the Self-Empoyment tax — 15.3% of the net profit from the business activity if it’s over $400 for the tax year.
I Do!!!!! And they are FANTASTIC! I am hosting a New Product Reveal tomorrow evening in Central NJ. If you can make it email me and I will show you all the great things and More!
You would want to use the paper to set off your pictures. I just use paper with a pretty design, or plain, if it would take attention away from my pictures. Cut mats for your photos. I arrange things and plan them out well in advance of taping anything down, mostly so I don’t have the page done, and then think of a better way to enhance it. Just start, and stay simple, not overdoing the embellishments.
Go to their web site and request a consultant contact you
I know that around a year ago it was £95 which included the kit (2 trimmers, cutting mat, pens, scrapbook and pages, corner punch and a few other bits and pieces and all paperwork). I made enquires and had a home visit. They pestered me after that which put me off. They like you to attend lots of meetings which were far away for me and they ‘touch base’ a lot by phone! I didn’t go ahead with it as its not the sort of scrapbooking I do. Its more of a simple journal.Hope this helps.
I suggest you make digital scrapbook pages online at CropMom at http://www.cropmom.com. It is an online scrapbooking site developed by a long-time digital scrapbook kit designer, so CropMom has designer scrapbook graphics.It costs nothing to use CropMom. Just register and upload your photos. It has drag and drop software so you can drag your photos onto the canvas size of your choice. You can choose from thousands of digital scrapbook graphics. You can add your own text. If you like what you’ve created and want to print it, you can purchase the print-quality, high-resolution JPEG files of your layouts for a small fee. Then, you can print out your layouts at home or have them printed by a photo service. I like to get about 20 layouts and have them printed and bound in a photo book by Shutterfly at http://www.shutterfly.com or Snapfish at http://www.snapfish.com.Why spend money on scrapbooking software if you’re not sure if it’s worth the money? With CropMom, you purchase your layouts ONLY if you like them and want to print them.
