The Layout The Genuine collection is one of my favorite collections from Creative Memories. It debuted in January 2020 and has been such a versatile staple in my stash that I am dreading using the final pieces of it! This layout really showcases why it was such a great collection! I love the torn look…
The Layout Who doesn’t love to play with their stash of punches when creating a page? I know I do! This layout is a great opportunity to mix and match border punches and elements. While the sample layout uses the same Border Maker Cartridge (the retired Spring Leaf Chain BMC) throughout the entire page, you…
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…
The Layout I’ve had several customers order the Jumbo Circle recently, so I thought we’d dive into another layout that uses the Jumbo Circle Pattern! This is another layout that is GREAT for using up scraps of paper and gives you a great opportunity to use border punches, decorative blades, laser cut borders and stickers!…
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…
