The Layout The new Poolside Paradise collection from Creative Memories is absolutely adorable! The soft colors and playful patterns are perfect for documenting warm weather memories, and I especially love how this layout uses the tile-patterned paper as a bold design element. It really pops on the page and provides a great foundation to mix…
The Layout Don’t be fooled by first impressions! At first glance, this layout looks like it’s made from four large triangles framing a big central mat. Naturally, I was reaching for my 18″ ruler and rotary trimmer, ready to measure and slice some serious angles. But then I actually read the instructions—what a concept! ?…
