Creative Memories Bankruptcy and you – Update!!



It’s official, Creative Memories announced that it will close its doors on August 31st and release all its consultants as of September 1st. Then on November 1st a new brand with new photo products will start.

Here is what YOU need to know for getting your current projects done with the CM products you want:

The Last Chance Orders

(http://www.creativememories.com/Content/Shop/Catalog.aspx?pr=BrowseCategory&s=%2FHierarchy%2FLast+Chance+Order+Products&dpr=Shop&ds)

for select albums, pages, page protectors and frosted tape runner refills ends Wednesday, July 31st! If you need any of these items, NOW is the time to order them as they will only make what is ordered. Contact me today if you need any of these items to finish a project or set of albums!

August 21, 2013

Last day to order online! Any While-Supplies-Last products can be ordered on my website up until August 21st. This is also the last day to use any Rewards Club Credits or other coupons you may have. After that you can contact me to order what is still available, or see what I have in stock.

For digital customers who want digital artwork

(http://www.creativememories.com/Content/Help/DigitalContent.aspx), this is the last day to purchase and download that artwork! This is also the last day to download any artwork you have previously purchased that is stored on your account. It is important that you have a copy of all your digital artwork, activation codes and program files backed up.

You will be able to order digital products at the Creative Memories Digital Center through the end of August. I will know more about digital printing moving forward shortly. It does look like Chris's Crafters Corner will have options for printing that may be fairly seamless, but more on that later.

This is the last day of Creative Memories. It will be just shy of 8 years since I started helping people preserve their photos and stories. I will be sad to say good bye to Creative Memories. There are tools that I love and will continue to use. I will miss my fellow CM consultants more than anything else. I look forward to continuing my relationship with all of my customers and clients through Chris's Crafters Corner!

November 1, 2013

A new brand with new photo products will begin. I will be looking at this new vendor to see if Chris's Crafters Corner will offer their products. I expect them to be the same high quality that made Creative Memories an industry leader in photo preservation. Technology has changed. How we use and view photos has changed. I am looking forward to see what innovations have been inspired by all this movement.

As CM departs, please know that Chris's Crafters Corner is here and will continue to help you tell your stories! As as Personal Photo Organizer, I have a number of vendor options open for you. I will be evaluating those to choose what we consider the best for you, my clients. In the meantime, I don’t want anyone to miss getting the retiring Creative Memories products that you may need or want, while you can get them. Check the dates above and contact me if you need help or have any questions. I am here for you.
