Limited-Time-Only Mother’s Day Bundles

Advisors, this Mother’s Day season is a time to celebrate the women who make what we do so meaningful — in our families, our communities, and here within Creative Memories. A season of appreciation. For the stories you tell, the memories you preserve, and the care and creativity you share every day.

It’s also a reminder to make a little time for yourself. Maybe that looks like opening an Album Kit, spending time with your photos, or creating something just for you. Because what we do is more than scrapbooking — it’s connection, storytelling, and honoring the moments that matter most. And at the heart of it all are you. This season, we celebrate you — not just for what you do, but for who you are.

From all of us at Home Office, we wish you a Happy Mother’s Day — whether you’re celebrating as a mom yourself, cherishing memories of your mom, honoring the mothers and mother figures in your life, or simply taking time to reflect on someone special who has shaped your heart and memories.

To help you get started on your time of reflection, starting today, you and your customers can purchase limited-time-only Mother’s Day Bundles featuring an exclusive 12x12 and Scrap Journal Cover, plus a few bonus products that pair perfectly. We hope you enjoy these Mother’s Day Bundles — available until Friday, May 15, at noon CT or while supplies last.

Keep it Simple With 12x12 Album Kits

Album Kits are on the rise, and here’s what we’re hearing from Advisors: once we make one ourselves, it just clicks. And when we show them, they sell. And it isn’t just beginners buying them!

That “aha” moment makes it so much easier to confidently share Album Kits with customers, especially in Beginner Classes built around the Simple Page Kit to Album Kit system. It removes the overwhelm, builds confidence, and naturally leads to stronger sales and repeat engagement. 

If you haven’t made one, consider this your nudge. And if you’re looking for fresh ideas or a quick refresher, we’ve built out a blog section full of inspiration and practical tips to help you get started.

Sometimes the simplest approach really is the most effective.

100 Bold Moves May Week 1 Challenge

Happy May, Advisors! This month's theme is Mindset May!

If you've ever attended a Create the Best or coached with Amber, you know how strongly she feels about comparison. Comparison is the THIEF of JOY! When we compare our business to others, instead of focusing on all the things you are doing well, you dwell on the things others are doing well. No two businesses are alike and there is no one path to success. This week we are going to start by removing the comparison temptation and remind ourselves of what we do the best!

Week 1 Challenge: Comparison Detox

  • Mute or unfollow accounts that trigger comparison
  • Write down 3 things you're doing well

"Grow your belief, grow your business".

Not sure where to find Create the Best recordings? Here's a link to the last episode!
