I love the high quality of Creative memories Products, let me say that right up front. I wish they would come out with some new tools though, I have every one they have out and after you do as many albums as me, you get tired of the slim selection. The one I would really like to see is more 12" border designs. I also wish they would bring back the old stickers, I'm not really into the funky new stuff they have out. I really liked the older selection. What do you think.
I too am a Creative Memories junkie - only buy and use CM scrapbooking products - unless it's a specific vacation spot that CM doesn't make stickers for.
As far as the new stuff, I like the new primary colors & the travel pack specifically. What I don't like is how generic the stickers are. I'm sure CM is going to get back into specific themes, as they brought in Disney products, but right now it seems more of their style are those funky & various colored squares, circles, squiggles, etc., not without their use, but not what true scrapbookers are looking for either. (Or is it?)
What I do love is the picfolio. I know that seems odd, but because I am now a digital convert, I can mix my traditional scrapbooking of my saved paper stuff from a trip or event, and put the original copy in a picfolio book, side-by-side with a digitally printed 12x12 page.
Curious if anybody has any other opinions about that.
I'm going to vent for a second while I have everyone's attention: I've thrown myself into digital scrapbooking - truly can answer almost any question now about the CM Plus program - and tried to get rid of my (personal, opened up) traditional scrapbooking stuff on eBay. As an active consultant, I got caught! I know many of you can relate, and I thought I had it under control, but WOW! Do they have alot of time on their hands.... I literally am going to end up giving it to my friends & family who still traditionally scrapbook.

I used to be a CM consultant, but in this world of technology I quit doing it because there are so many wonderful products out there and CM is not flexible. Getting some of the refill tapes when you are down to your last and you live in a remote location is difficult. I wish they would allow stores and Ebay because many people have stopped using thier products due to the availability and constraints placed on the consultants. Just my two cents for what it is worth.
I too was a CM consultant for a lot of years. I love the products and mainly use CM (definitely the albums and pages!).
But I'm also disappointed in the new stickers. I agree they are "funky" and not as specific as they used to be. So, sadly, I've had to turn else where for my sticker needs.
Hopefully in time, CM will return some of the "old" style sticker and papers!
