The Layout I’ve had my eye on this layout for a while – I just adored the What A Zoo Theme Pack when it came out in 2019 and was VERY excited to see What A Zoo, Too when it was released in Summer 2022. I am not 100% sure which collection I will be…
When Secret Garden was released in 2018, it quickly became one of my favorite collections, despite the fact it’s a bit too soft and feminine for my typical photos. I still have the collection sitting in my stash, waiting for just the right moment to make those magical pages. BUT, that doesn’t mean I can’t…
The Borders The days are getting longer, and the sun is shining a bit more here in the PNW, so it’s time to start thinking about hiking again! I admit, I don’t get out on the trails quite as often as I’d like, but I do hear them calling to me on a regular basis…
The Layout I thought this week we’d explore a project from the Creative Memories Blog that is a little less intensive. This layout from August 2022 shows off the fun XL Layered Mats from the Back to School collection, but I I really like the simplicity of the design surrounding it. I also like that…
When this layout popped up in the marketing materials for the Painted Garden collection, I knew it would be a MUST DO for Scrapbook Live. I just love the 12-Inch Decorative Trimmer and any chance I get to play with it is a good day of scrapbooking! I had photos from Halloween 2006 (!) that…
The Polar Lights collection from Creative Memories is just adorable and you know how much I love triangles and clean lines, so this layout from the CM Blog is right up my alley! This is a trimmer-only layout, which makes it great for beginner scrapbookers or for those who want a quick, easy layout to…
I just love grid layouts – the clean, simple lines just speak to me (likely because nothing else in my life, including my house, seems to fall into the “clean” or “simple” category!) While the blog sample only shows three images, it is easy to add additional photos as needed! In the handout below I’ve…
February is one of those months that just flies by. I am sure it has something to do with it being a short month, but it’s hard to believe that we are at the final Wednesday of the month already! I always try to do a border project on the last Wednesday of the month,…
I am a bit of a sucker for what I call mod squares – the lovely, rounded corner squares that are a main feature of this layout. Creative Memories has two tools that make mod squares VERY easy to create – the 2-way Corner Rounder and the Square Punch. For my demo layout I chose…
I am a huge, HUGE fan of the Creative Memories Decorative Trimmer. This is a classic CM Tool and I rave about it to everyone I can and love to incorporate it into my projects. I just gasped when I saw this layout on the CM Blog and new it was a MUST DO for…
