Making Memories :: Winter 2010 CHA report

scrapbook supplies by Making Memories

Making Memories is one of those companies that are looked to for innovation at each and every show. This show they definitely went in a new direction — and I’m interested to hear what you think about their choices!

My favourite part of their new release is the Panorama collection, with a travel theme. I’m a sucker for anything travel themed!

This is my must-have from MM: the felt portfolio album. They have done these in a few collections, and I used one for this album and would love to use this one for something exciting too. (I have the Christmas portfolio album set aside for something special next December too.) I just love the 8×8 size and the mix of pages, pockets and other bits and pieces. Happy to see a new one!

I never tire of MM word stickers, so these are a lovely addition. I love that this collection will mix and match with last year’s Great Escape collection, with similar tones in darker colours.
This collection ships in May, but you’ll find other collections earlier.

Design Shop is a collection of dimensional stickers in different themes, including London landmarks. These are shipping in April.

This year’s baby collection, Pitter Patter, hits stores in February. There’s a pink line and a blue line and then some items that work for both. The albums are cute! Love that die-cut felt.

There are new Slice cards each month too — baby themes in February, Parties in March, Pets and Summer in April and Travel in May.

An innovation in gadgetry for this show: a hands-free kit for the Slice die cutter. A special magnetic mat and base attach the cutter without the need to hold it in place. And you don’t have to buy a new machine – it’s an optional add-on to the existing cutter. Very cool!

Something entirely different from Making Memories: a make-your-own jewelry line. It’s called Vintage Groove and it’s sold by the piece and only requires a few basic tools, so you don’t have to buy tons of stuff to get started. I do wonder if we will see scrapbookers putting these pretty pieces to use on paper projects as well as fashion accessories, since they will be a great addition to minibook bindings and tactile projects like that. What do you think about this shift? Something you think you’ll find at a scrapbooking store? This collection hits stores in March, so we’ll see then!
