I have been scrapbooking with Creative Memories for at least 15 years, so it is with a heavy heart that I, and all the other loyal customers, must say goodbye to the company as we know it.  Creative Memories’ parent company is undergoing restructuring following Chapter 11; CM will re-launch as a new company on November 1st.

I just received my scrapbook of my European cruise, and while it came out great, it’s a little sad knowing that this was my last order from Creative Memories.  They will no longer be doing digital scrapbooking with their current programs, and will pare down their “traditional” line to mostly pre-designed albums.  Here are more details if you’re interested.

I have done scrapbooks for many of the important events in my life, including school years, my wedding, and college trips to Spain and the Galapagos.  It’s been such to fun relive the memories as I scrap them, and I’d like to share some here.

We’ll start with some of the albums of vacations my husband and I have taken.  These were done digitally with Storybook Creator.

Disney album; CM used to have Disney products. This page is from EPCOT, an original design by me.

Another original design, using Cheerful elements. I took a picture of our tickets to include in the digital album; scanning also works well.

I added a few 3D stickers to the book after it was printed for a “hybrid” feel.

The “Traveler” cover has textured “stamps” on the cover–beautiful!

This album is from our time in Barcelona, Spain.

Photos from Sagrada Familia; the photos are so detailed, and I wanted them to be the focus, so I didn’t add many other elements on the page.
