If you\u2019re a current or former Close To My Heart Maker looking for scrapbooking products, you may have some questions about the similarities and differences between CTMH and the new Creative Memories (\u201cCM\u201d). We\u2019re here to help answer them in this three-article series with a former CTMH Maker, Brenda Rose, who is now a CM Advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This is the second article in the series, picking up the conversation between Alison Dutton (CEO) and Brenda as they begin to talk about Creative Memories tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll want to catch up with the first article in the series: From CTMH to CM: A Maker\u2019s Honest Review of Creative Memories Collections<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recap reflects the conversation; it has been condensed for readability.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alison:<\/strong> So now let\u2019s talk about what\u2019s newer to you, including the fact that I can tell you used the new Tire Tracks Border Maker Cartridge (“BMC”) on your Revved Up! layouts. What do you and your customers think about the Border Maker System<\/a> now that you\u2019ve tried it out?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brenda: <\/strong>I\u2019m glad that we\u2019re talking about tools because they are new to me! At first, it might seem intimidating to learn a new tool system, but I recently introduced the Border Maker System at my National Scrapbook Day event here in Minnesota. I had many customers learning how to use the Border Maker System for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My croppers could not believe how easy it was to use! With the ease of changing punches and the built-in notches and guides, it is foolproof! What really impressed them was the Border Maker Organizer. It holds the system and so many punches in such a small space. Good organization is huge for most people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
