Must-Have Tools

The Creative Memories 12 inch trimmer is an absolute must have for all the scrappers and crafters out there. This is not the scary, heavy, I'm afraid I'm going to cut my finger off paper cutter of the past. It is lightweight, has an arm that fold out to make it easy to store and transport, and has slots on the underside to store extra blades that make special decorative cuts. Use your 12 inch trimmer just for paper and cardstock to keep it working best. Use the CM personal trimmer for cropping your photos! Purchase on my CM website here.

The CM personal trimmer is a great little trimmer for cropping your photos. it can also be used for paper and cardstock of smaller sizes. Use the CM 12 inch trimmer for all your other cutting needs. Purchase on my CM website here.

The CM Bookcloth album covers are great. I have many that I have had for nearly 30 years and they still look great. Check out the video to learn more about our quality album covers. We have a variety of album sizes, colors and styles. Purchase on my CM website here.

Creative Memories has great traditional scrapbook pages which I have used for years. They have also added 12 x 12 top loading pages and multi-pocket pages which are other excellent options. You can use a mix of various page types in one album. The top loading pages are great if you like to build your pages out of order as you can rearrange them by simply sliding them out of the protective sleeve and slipping them into another sleeve. Check out the video to find out more. Purchase on my CM website here.

CM traditional 12 x 12 pages come with page protectors and are available in white, spargo, black and natural. I often mix pages types and colors in my albums. I use traditional pages, top loading pages (you can slip completed 12x12 cardstock or paper pages into these), multi-pocket pages, and fast2fab pages. Purchase on my CM website here.

CM tape runner is the best! I've tried cheaper brands but always go back to the Creative Memories tape runner. You can purchase refills for the plastic storage case. Purchase on my CM website here.
