I recently saw a post where someone was asking about being a consultant and the response was “they don’t have consultants anymore…” So, how does it work as far as purchasing products and having a consultant???Thanks,Gale Meyer
Hi Gale–We call them Advisors now. You can order via our main website http://www.creativememories.com. Let us know if you have any other questions!
Wow! I absolutely love these! Thanks so much!
These are soooooo cool and back to basic borders without clutter so you can add bling and still focus more on the pictures instead of the art work Thanks for the creativity!
These are Super Awesome, Krislyn!!! You are so creative. And, “What Fran said about no Clutter”.
Thank you!!
Love ALL of these! Thanx!
These ideas are great. Thank you.
Oh, these are just beautiful! I just got all caught up on my border maker punches this week! I took advantage of the free shipping for sure. I even had to buy another storage case for them. I’m just beyond thrilled that CM is back and better than ever!
You can make a lovely non-Christmas winter border using the directions for the Star-Topped Christmas Trees Border and substituting cloud cardstock for the red plaid paper and silver shimmer cardstock for the gold shimmer.
