Is this collection “On the Bright Side” double sided? Suitable to use in Top loading sleeves. I just discovered the Monthly Page Kit Bundles are NOT double sided.
Leslie, the Monthly Kits which are known as the Simple Page Kits have 3 sheets of papers – 2 of the papers ARE printed on both sides and can be used as base pages for the suggested layout on the packaging as well as the instruction guide insert sheet. OR you can use them like any other double sided papers – as a base for a layout you insert into top-loading sleeves, as a base you adhere to refill pages or to cut up as you wish.
The design on Side A of the 2 double-sided papers correspond to the suggested layout so often there is additional design printed on it while Side B is a simple design. Again, you can choose how to use them.
The 3rd piece of paper has design(s) ONLY on 1 side for a reason as the 2nd side which I’ll call the B side is labeled for trimming into pieces for use as mats, border strips, and design elements for a layout. You can recreate the layout depicted on the packaging/instruction guide or arrange the pieces as you desire. You can even use the cut up pieces on some other base papers. You can cut up the paper differently if you want something else than the cut design. You will notice that the designs on Side A corresponds to the cut lines on Side B.
With all the new On The Bright Side products released just this month, it can be confusing a little as to what is the difference between all the items and the difference in the 12 x 12 papers in Intro Page Kits or Simple Page Kits, Designer Paper Packs with 6 or 12 sheets that can be purchased as part of a Bundle with other items from Collection or as a Paper Pack, and the Papers included in the new Album Kits. I hope this all helps!!
There is a On The Bright Side Page Kit which is the ‘Intro Page Kit -On The Bright Side’. It is available at CM Advisor Events especially at events featuring Beginner Classes for new to scrapbooking or new to CM, or new-to-current CM. It’s one of 3 new “test drive in a bag” kits to explore, try out and have fun doing something with your photos other than scrolling on a screen :) And making what could be the next layout in your first album of ’26!
The 12 sheets of papers in the On The Bright Side Collection (#664964) Paper Pack are all double-sided. Available in the Buy it All Bundle/Decorative Bundle.
The 48 papers in the On The Bright Side Album Kit (#665176) are similar to the printing of papers in the Simple Page Kits. Papers for bases and papers with trim lines on the B side for mats and decorative elements. The main image on the website for the Album Kit shows in the upper left side an example of the papers. If you look at the images on the Issuu website that show finished suggested layouts for the Album Kit when set up using the Album Kit Guidebook (https://issuu.com/cmemories/docs/on_the_bright_side_album_kit), on images for pages #2 – 3 which is the first 2 page spread.
This 2-page spread uses the same papers in the upper left of main image I mentioned above. So the those 2 base papers with printed rainbow design and a printed green design on top of a printed grid. The paper for cutting (labeled w/#1-6) which you can’t see Side A(the design side), those cut up pieces end up being the yellow/orange photo mats, the pinkish mat for words “More Please”, red with dots mat for the journaling spot on Right page, as well as the border strips that have a black/white floral design. The green torn edge strips on both L & R are Border Stickers. The Album Kit contains 48 papers. And are only available in the Album Kit.
I hope this helps. If you have more questions, you can send to CM customer service or visit the CM Facebook page or the Virtual Crop Facebook. If you don’t have an advisor, you can search for one using the Search button on the CM website. If you want to attend an Event to just try-on that new On The Bright Side collection which is SO FUN looking, search for that under the Events tab on the website. Those bright colors, motifs, and sayings are happy-contagious in my opinion. I can’t wait to play with one myself!
