The Borders For this month’s borders, I am sharing a set that I created three years ago for the Beneath the Pines (2020) collection. The set features the (retired) Basketweave Border Punch as well as the 12-inch Decorative Trimmer. They are relatively simple borders using various techniques, but I think that makes the formulas for…
The Layout We are contemplating a new pet in our household. No firm decisions have been made, but it does have me thinking about all the fun pet layouts I would be able to make! This layout from 2019 made with the now retired Puppy Love Theme Pack is adorable. The 3-in-1 Scallop Tag Punch…
Jumbo Circle Layout Tutorial If you’ve been looking for a fun way to use the Creative Memories Jumbo Circle Custom Cutting System Pattern, this project is perfect! I’ve had several customers order the Jumbo Circle recently, so I thought it was the right time to share another layout that puts this tool to work. This…
I just LOVE the Jumbo Circle and thought it would be fun to do a layout with this popular Custom Cutting System pattern. There are actually three layouts shown on the original Creative Memories Blog post, but I really like the look of the one shown above so it’s where we will start! You can…
It’s the last Wednesday of April, so I will be demonstrating three borders from the Creative Memories Blog. I opted to go with the Polar Lights borders from February 1st as they are just adorable, and I am also hoping that I can go with opposite day and beg Mother Nature to deliver some WARM…
I love the fresh, bright feel of this CM Blog layout – granted, I am dreaming of warm, sunny days where sitting poolside doesn’t involve a blanket and umbrella. 🙂 This layout uses the Fresh Fusion Fast 2 Fab Inspired Papers which were part of the Summer 2020 promotion. The diagonal design of the background…
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…
