In early 2021 Creative Memories debuted the Party Time* collection and I have scrapped the heck out of these adorable papers, stickers and embellishments.

Creative Memories Circle Cutter
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…
