— Why Choose Creative Memories’ Pens? —

Do you ever worry about your journaling fading or smudging over time? You’re not alone! That’s why we’ve taken steps to ensure our pens are as long-lasting as your memories. Here’s what sets Creative Memories pens apart:

Archival Quality: We understand the importance of preserving your photos and journaling, and we ensure that every element of your scrapbook contributes to that preservation by testing for archival safety. The premium inks we select are permanent and do not smear or transfer after 20 seconds. We prioritize photo-safe inks, which means if the ink comes in contact with photos, it will not cause any damage to your photos. We offer pens with inks that are acid-free and won’t harm your layouts over time.

Superior Materials: We carefully select the materials for our pens, ensuring they meet our high standards for quality and performance. From the smooth-flowing ink to the durable pen barrels, we choose components designed to last. We use water-based ink, which utilizes water as its main solvent acting as a carrier for pigments. Unlike conventional inks that rely on plastic or PVC, these inks incorporate organic co-solvents, making them significantly more environmentally friendly. You won’t find pens that skip, bleed or dry out quickly here!

Variety of Styles: We know that everyone has their own unique style, which is why we offer a variety of pen types. From micro-tip for detailed journaling to thicker diameters for bold captions, you’re sure to find the perfect writing tool to express your creativity. 

Premium Feel: We believe that quality you can feel makes a difference. Our pens are designed for comfortable writing and a smooth ink flow, making journaling a joy. The rich, vibrant colors and consistent lines will make your memories truly shine.

With Creative Memories pens, you can add those special finishing touches to your scrapbook layouts with confidence, knowing your words will last a lifetime.
