Custom Album Covers

ALL-NEW to Creative Memories and we are PUMPED about them!!

You Create It Custom Albums allows you to personalize the cover of a favorite traditional scrapbook-style album. Use your favorite photos and designs to make your album cover stand out with a You Create It Custom Album.

You Create It Custom Albums feature a pebble textured laminate material, similar to the material used on our StoryBooks, and have the same high quality and features as our other 12x12 scrapbook albums. Custom albums are available with your choice of black or white material for the album’s spine and back cover.

You Create It Custom Albums will be available Sept. 1, 2011 and will retail for $49.00.

There will be three ways to create a custom album:

1) Full Photo Template:
Want to use a photo to fill the entire album cover? Go to the Digital Center, select the full-photo template, upload a photo, add any desired text, preview your coverset and you’re ready to order.

2) Predesigned Templates:
Our ready-made templates are a quick and easy way to complete your coverset. Go to the Digital Center and select one of the template choices. Then simply drag and drop your uploaded photo(s) into the photo openings and add any desired text. Preview your coverset and you’re ready to order.

3) Design it yourself:
If you’d like to create a cover that’s all your own, you can do so using StoryBook Creator Software (for PC) or sbcStudio Software (for Mac). Once you’ve purchased and installed the software, look for the “You Create It Custom Album” project option. When you’re finished creating your custom coverset, order via the Digital Center.

Includes:

• Coverset
• 2 Straps
• 2 Cover holders
• Limited lifetime guarantee

Features:

• 12x12 size
• Photo-safe
• Custom design
• Pebble texture laminate material (similar to StoryBooks)
• Expandable
• Packaging insert with assembly instructions
• Lies flat
• Not compatible with Persona® Imprinting

I am glad to help you if you have more questions - I LOVE this whole idea and I think you will too!

Ordering information

Once you’ve created and previewed your album cover, select white or black for the spine and back cover. Then, you can complete your purchase by choosing a Coverset only (pages not included), a Coverset plus one pack each of Scrapbook Pages and Page Protectors, or a Coverset plus one pack of Side-Loading Sleeves. Scrapbook Pages, Page Protectors and Side-Loading Sleeves are available in one pack of each when purchased with a custom album, if you need additional refills - I can help you with that!

Due to the custom nature of this product, orders for Custom Albums need to be placed via the Digital Center and will ship separately after they’re ready.

Shipping & Handling
Shipping and handling for You Create It Custom Albums is similar to the shipping charges for our Digital Center products, such as StoryBooks. Custom albums will ship separately from other Creative Memories products. Please see the shipping information on the Digital Center for details.

Support Your Habit

Why did I get started in Creative Memories? Well, it was 15 years ago - our little Micah had just been born and I KNEW that scrap booking was going to be dangerous to us!! SO, Joe encouraged me to become a consultant and get others excited about scrap booking too. I am so very glad that I made that decision - I have brought others on board with me AND shown so many more how to get their photos in albums so they are accessible to tell their family story.

That is why I want to share that NOW is an excellent time to sign up with Creative Memories - whether you want to sell and make money to have a part time job from home OR just to support your habit. I would LOVE to help you hop on board! This flyer will walk you through what you can expect to receive when you purchase your consultant kit and what happens after that! The possibilities are endless - and I can help you whether you live faraway or right close to me.

Email or go to my website to sign up today!!! I would love to work with you to share our mission!

How Can I Take Better Pictures?

Probably my most-asked question is, "How can I take better pictures?" That is something I am still learning as well, but one thing that has helped me take better photos is watching some of the great videos that Nick Kelsh has put together. Here is his website and a great video he put together for CreativeMemories. To watch his video on taking better photos Click Here. It is worth your time.

Just so you know how credible Nick and his work are: Nick is the author/photographer of nine books including Naked Babies with Anna Quindlen, How to Photograph Your Baby, How to Photograph Your Life, and The Sense of Wonder by Rachel Carson. He has appeared on Oprah! and The Today Show multiple times. His photographs have appeared on several of the covers of the prestigious Day in the Life series and in dozens of major magazines.

Removing Color

I thought this was a great tutorial by Jan McCallum - another CM consultant - AND another great use for Storybook Creator!!
