Order Secret Box #1
10% off until 17 Feb. at midnight AEDT or while supplies last
Advisors, 2026 Secret Box #1 is here — and it’s a very smart “yes.” This is the kind of product your customers will love to say yes to — and you will too! It’s packed with exclusive, can’t-get-it-anywhere-else items (including a brand-new Border & Frame Punch — one tool makes both borders and frames!), offers 10% off the total value inside, and gives your customers a fun, shared moment to look forward to during the Virtual Crop. Plus, it’s part of a collectible series — getting Box #1 helps unlock access to Box #5 later in the year!
As an Advisor, this is a breeze to share. Curiosity creates the buzz, and you’re just inviting customers to be part of the fun. Order yours now and encourage your customers to grab theirs before it’s gone!
Note: Some of the Secret Boxes are incorrectly labeled “Do Not Open Until the January Virtual Crop” instead of “February.” The boxes with the incorrect label are shrink-wrapped, so we will not be relabeling them. We’re notifying you now for your awareness, and those who purchase directly from the website will receive an email with the correct “Do Not Open Until February” messaging.
Natural Beginnings Album Kit & Collection
The Natural Beginnings Album Kit and coordinating collection and Buy-It-All Bundle that's 10% off are available NOW, and this is one you’ll want in your toolkit right away. Designed with simplicity and approachability in mind, it’s perfect for beginners or anyone craving a low-stress way to tell their stories. Plus, the Album Kit offers a guided, no-guesswork approach that makes finishing a full 12x12 album feel doable — and truly rewarding.
The soft, neutral palette and subtle patterns in the collection work beautifully for a wide range of themes — baby, pets, travel, remembrance or everyday life — making it easy to recommend to all kinds of customers!

Introducing the CM Collective:
Your NEW Online Advisor Community!
The CM Collective — your brand-new online Advisor hub — is HERE! Made exclusively for Creative Memories Advisors, it’s going to be your new favourite place to connect, learn and grow.
We created this space to:
- Strengthen our Advisor community
- Give you direct access to Home Office
- Make it easier to find the tools, resources and inspiration you need
- And most of all, help you feel more supported and connected than ever before
What Advisors think of this new space:
“I have never been so excited lately to have something that is making my life easier with CM.”
- Gina Embry
“I LOVE having all of the topics right at my fingertips in this app!”
- Cassie Oelberg
What you DO in the CM Collective:
- Download marketing graphics
- Watch training videos
- Download handout and printables
- Chat with your peers — eventually, this will replace the Advisor-Only Facebook communities.
What you do ELSEWHERE:
- My Reports stays where it is
- You will still order Advisor Exclusives on the website
- You will still register upcoming Events on the website
Whether you’re just starting out or leading a large team, this is your space — and we’re so excited to see you in it. Your community is waiting… and we can't wait to welcome you to it!
The CM Collective will eventually replace some of our other communication channels, but we will give advanced notice along with a transition period.

Beginner Class “Win” Spotlight
We want to celebrate with you! To partake in the Beginner Class “Win” Challenge, post a photo of your Beginner Class, and let us know what your “win” was for that event, including the hashtag #BeginnerClassWin in the CM Achievements Planning Group on Facebook. We will pick 3 winners each month who will receive that quarter's Simple Page Kit Bundle.
“My first Beginner Class! Held at a local smoothie shop. Four had registered/paid but two canceled and I offered to roll their fee toward a future class. Had one new to scrapbooking and one experienced scrapbooker. Both LOVED the kits!
Even though I had a reminder at the bottom of my notes to take a picture, I still forgot and had to run after them in the parking lot.”
