Just an FYI....
I'm not a big Creative Memories shopper anymore, but I did just purchase the All My Love and the Little Dreamer collections. They are perfect for my DS wedding from last summer and our new grandchild coming next fall. The CM Staycation collection is pretty cute too especially if you have a younger family. I think their website is worth taking a peek at.

I caved and ordered from them a couple of weeks ago. Love the colours of the Emerald Gemstone collection. Had hoped to have it in my hands today, but sadly UPS delivered it... somewhere... not to the address it was supposed to go. Tracking it now.
I was also tempted by a couple of their border punches: cutlery/dinnerplates and wine bottles/glasses. But didn't order this time. Last fall I bought their camera punch.
Their papers have nice saturated colours and a smooth surface. They are lighter weight than many of today's sb papers, but that is kind of nice for layering without as much thickness.

I am a fan of most of their collections but only buy when it’s on sale. I still use their albums exclusively.

I used to buy exclusively from CM and even sold it back in the day. I haven’t bought in years! Taking a peek there are a few things I liked but the prices! Knowing their paper is thinner and the embellishments were so expensive I couldn’t do it. Maybe if there was a good sale since some was appealing. Maybe I should use up all my really old CM stuff first before thinking if buying more 😂

I take a look at the CM site every year before my annual crop because one of the hosts is a CM rep & offers free shipping for orders placed a couple of weeks before the crop. Some years I see something interesting and get something, but most years I don't (however I might pick something up she has available at the retreat). I do like that they offer sports sets every couple of years because I'm always looking for new football and baseball items, but like others, I do think it's pricey for what you get.

In my area all LSS have closed and recently I have begun going to CM crops. I have been buying their paper and stickers because they are comparable to any other product I like. Now the CMers I crop with still tend to use CM exclusively especially their tools. But many of their paper collections are very versatile.
I just used paper from various collections this past weekend, and I also purchased Little Dreamer, which is adorable for a baby. I wish CM would stop making kits and bundles and let me purchase individual pieces of paper. I recently used 2 pieces from a Christmas collection and wanted two more pieces of one design. A consultant told me she could get it for me, ended up selling me an entire paper pack that I already had, so yes I got my 2 pieces of paper, along with all the other paper in the collection that I already had. So really, the paper I wanted was $6 a sheet.
But for many years I barely ever used anything CM, now I usually have something on order every month. And I won a scallop border punch at a NSD crop last week.
