Heritage Makers Box Opening - Primary Paper

As I have mentioned in my "About Me" page, I am a new Our Memories for Life/Heritage Makers distributor. Heritage Makers primarily provides online album making solutions, but now with the addition of Rhonda Anderson, founder of Creative Memories, they have created Our Memories for Life and are tackling supplies for paper crafters.

Years ago, I was a Creative Memories (CM) consultant. What I loved about CM was the quality of the products. After using products bought at the craft store and having them rip immediately or being just substandard quality, I was converted. For years, I have primarily used their products. I haven't been a consultant for a while, but have stayed with CM products. With all the changes to the CM company in the past year, many of us paper crafters have been forced to find other options. I once again was shopping in the craft stores. I found some products I loved,  but there were others I just didn't love. I was excited to see what Our Memories for Life had in store, and when they had a special promotion to become a distributor for $10 for 30% off your purchases, I signed up. Don't worry, I won't just be highlighting Our Memories for Life products here, but will include many other fabulous products you can find from stores or online.

Being new to Our Memories for Life, I wanted to try out their paper. I was excited to see their Primary paper pack and because I have a toddler, decided that the paper would be my first order. When it arrived, for some reason, my box looked like it was sat on...

I only ordered some paper, so I knew nothing was squished, but it was nice to see the paper on top protecting my products.

The paper survived shipping!

Let's open the paper pack & borders, shall we?

This is the array of paper. The front has a small polka dot pattern on each of the papers.

There are only 10 pieces of paper in the pack and are a nice cardstock quality. These papers would work well for scrapbooking and card making. If you want to do some serious scrapbooking with the primary paper, I'd recommend ordering 2 packs. I am going to have to go back and order another.

Here is the back of the papers. Each of the colors have a different, subtle pattern.

Here is some of the pattern detail:

Stripes on the green

For chevron fans, the pattern on the orange.

Moving on to the coordinating borders. 

(There are also coordinating journaling boxes available.)

These are 2 sided as well. If you love the patterns, I recommend ordering 2 packs.

The 2nd side - don't you love these prints! Great for celebrations and kids!

Details of some of my favorite borders.

Now that I have the paper, I need to carve out some Mommy time and put together some pages to show you!
