Why We Made This

If you’ve ever struggled with sharing upcoming launches with your customers, this is for YOU! Let’s dive into WHY you and your customers are going to want (and maybe need!) the next round of products.

Cascade Spacers Set Bundle
“Cascading Pockets made easy — with everything you need in one bundle.”

Why your customers will want it:

  • Cascade Spacers are a NEW innovation for CM, designed with Advisor Lanita Medina. These 8 color-coded spacers are designed to make perfectly aligned cascading Peekaboo Pockets on your pages fast, easy and repeatable.
  • Enhanced Playbook includes how-to-use instructions for the Cascade Spacers (hint: it’s easier than you’d think!), as well as guided projects to complete two pages with Cascading Pockets and a BONUS year-in-review layout.
  • Includes 3 packs of Peekaboo Pockets for creating the project layouts.
  • Cascade Spacers are also available in a set of 8 spacers outside of the bundle.

As an Advisor, your “why”:

  • Gives you a fresh, easy-to-teach technique to share with existing customers.
  • Perfect for crops and classes — designed to make Cascading Pockets simple and repeatable.
  • The Playbook is like a co-teacher, guiding you through using the spacers, and creating two layouts and a BONUS year-in-review project.
  • Gives your customers a start-to-finish experience that builds confidence.
  • No more guessing or rework — the color-coded spacers and step-by-step instructions take out the trial-and-error.

Global Getaway Album Kit
“An easy, complete way to finish a travel album — no confusion, no design skills required.”

Why your customers will want it:

  • It’s the simplest way to start and finish an album. No experience needed — just add photos.
  • Everything is coordinated and guided. There’s no guesswork.
  • Classic travel style. Designed to work across any kind of trip or destination.

As an Advisor, your “why”:

  • It’s beginner-friendly in a real way. It helps people realize, “I can actually do this.”
  • It’s straightforward to teach. You’re guiding the process, not making design decisions.
  • It reduces overwhelm. Customers feel supported right from the start.
  • It fits any travel story. One kit works for travels of all kinds, so it’s easy to recommend naturally.

Photo Sleeves
“More photos. Less work. Add them in seconds with Photo Sleeves.”

Why your customers will want them:

  • They’re the fastest way to add more photos to an album — no need to create extra layouts.
  • Perfect for “overflow” moments when they just can’t narrow down which photos to include.
  • The new sizes let them create a beautiful Cascading Page effect that feels polished but takes minutes.
  • Customers get the satisfaction of telling more of their story without the pressure of “keeping up.”

As an Advisor, your “why”:

  • They’re the perfect next step after an Album Kit — a natural way to keep customers moving forward.
  • No new technique to teach, but lots of added value to share.
  • The Variety Pack is a great visual tool — it helps you show how the sizes stack to create that eye-catching Cascading Page effect.
  • Solves a real issue: “too many photos, not enough time or space.”
  • They’re great for crops, Open Houses and Beginner Classes — especially when you want to demo quick, polished ways to complete an album.
  • They’ll keep customers engaged, excited and coming back for more.

Please include #MyEvent or #BegClass in your description when posting your photo(s) to be considered for inclusion in the weekly collage. Not a member? Join today!

  • First Row Left: Advisor Tammy McEwen kicked off the new year by hosting a small home crop with five guests for a full day of scrapbooking, good food and meaningful connection. During lunch, she received her incentive trip qualification email, earning the trip for two, and was able to celebrate the moment with the group. Advisor Debbie Johns-Machan was present as her chosen plus-one, recognized for her ongoing support with events, projects and personal help. The crop served as a reminder that while large events are exciting, small home gatherings remain deeply connected to her roots and love of scrapbooking.
  • First Row Right: Advisor Susan St. Croix hosted a Beginner Fold-Over Page Class with one attendee. Despite the small turnout, the class was fun and enjoyable.
  • Second Row Left: Advisor Chantal Labrosse co-hosted an event with Advisor Maria Phillips welcoming 41 attendees. The day included Beginner Classes and a showcase of the On the Bright Side Album Kit, with attendees looking forward to the additional kits. The group also celebrated receiving their incentive trip qualification emails during the event.
