  1. I love these pockets! They are great for adding a few forgotten photos or if you just have one more you’d like to fit in. I’m so glad you are now selling these!

  2. Great overview showing how to use all in 1 album. Makes me want to go scrap.
    I Liked how explained side vs top loading.; however, top loading not in final summary table.

  3. I love the 12 x 12 pocket pages as they allow me to use both sides of the paper. Will be excited to try the peek-a-boo pockets.

  4. These blogs with videos provide super helpful information about one subject at a time. Most people have time to digest one subject at a time with these bite-sized videos and as an added bonus, you are providing wonderful suggestions and ideas to inspire us. Very fun and doable! Thank you.

  5. I love all the information we are given as advisors so we can share with our friends (clients), as they are all friends to me. But I do have a question, will CM ever do black jipping as I only ever use black pages, and I feel I cant put black and white together.

  6. Pocket pages and peek-a-boo pockets are great! I would love for CM to offer a digital photo size as I print my photos in that size (4×5.3 in).
