The June 2021 Creative Memories Virtual Crop was a WORLDWIDE event – meaning over the course of 48 hours twelve scrapbook layout sketches were shared on the CM Blog, one every 4 hours. The blog was full of inspiration from Australia, Canada, Japan and the United States. It’s a pretty awesome event! The next Creative…
The next Creative Memories Virtual Crop starts this Friday and includes the first SECRET BOX opening of 2022! The Secret Boxes have been a huge hit with CM fans, with each box being filled with various exclusive punches, papers and embellishments. The official box opening is on Friday just before the first sketch of the…
Way back in November 2020, I did a series of videos for the Creative Memories Virtual Crop. It was a bit of a whirlwind to keep up with the six sketches as they were released! Sketch #5, however, tried to get the best of me and I didn’t make a video for the final layout…
In early 2021 Creative Memories debuted the Party Time* collection and I have scrapped the heck out of these adorable papers, stickers and embellishments. I have YEARS of birthdays to create pages for, and I just love how versatile the collection is. Pulling in blues and reds, I was able to highlight the baseball cake…

Supplies Needed: Snowbound…
This is a bit of a throwback post sharing a layout I created as part of the Creative Memories February 2021 Virtual Crop. Sketch #2 is a two-page layout featuring circles and an array of photos in various sizes. I’ve taken the sketch featured in the CM Blog post and added measurements to help you…
Creative Memories introduced a new Circle Cutter tool in May 2021. I will admit I was a bit skeptical of the need for a new tool to make circles. The Custom Cutting System templates are pretty fantastic to use – why would we need anything else? Sure, there are some gaps in the sizing, notably…
