The Borders WAAAAY back in spring of 2020 I created a set of four scrapbook borders using Creative Memories National Scrapbook Day Project Recipe Kit. The directions for these borders can be found in THIS blog post. They were so stinkin’ cute, and I have been looking for a good reason to revisit/revamp them and…
The Layout I spent several days in Indiana this weekend at Tessa’s crop which was a TON of fun. The downside is I am a bit jet lagged coming home and it definitely takes me a couple of days to adjust back to the Pacific Time Zone. So, with that in mind, this week’s Scrapbook…
The Layout One of my all-time favorite tools is the (now retired) Creative Memories Decorative Trimmer—it’s truly a classic! This trusty trimmer has been around for years, and I firmly believe it deserves a spot in every scrapbooker’s toolbox. Its gentle wave cut adds just the right touch of personality to borders, photo mats, and…
The Layout This layout is deceptively complex, which is sometimes the allure of the design. It does require a LOT of paper, so during my live demo I will be demonstrating how to complete it without using quite as much paper. You will definitely need a ruler or the Creative Memories 13×13 Cutting Mat. https://youtu.be/svrbwOw5b6o…
The Borders It’s the last Wednesday of August, so that means it’s time for BORDERS! It’s also back-to-school time in my household, so I think we will make some BTS borders based on the Love Each Other 2 Theme Pack borders. I selected these as I just love the various elements used in the borders…
The Layout Normally, single photo layouts aren’t quite my thing. I have too many photos to do just one per page! However, sometimes you have that one purr-fect photo that just needs to be showcased all on its own. I love that this layout design lets us play with the Creative Memories Square Punch and…
The Layout If you haven’t figured it out by now, I love all things on an angle. Give me slants, diagonals, triangles — I’m all in! In fact, I enjoy working with angled designs so much that I sometimes have to intentionally tell myself to go straight and square things up, just to change it…
The Layout This is a super sweet summer layout featuring the Sweet Summer collection from Creative Memories. I have been all about angles and diagonal cut papers recently and I just love how the squares cascade down the diagonal seam. While I am not sure of the paper or the photos I will be using…
The Layout This scrapbook page from the Creative Memories blog is designed to show off the laser cut mats that are part of the Sparks of Magic collection. They are definitely adorable! I wanted to show how you can make this layout with other tools, notably the Frame Punches and the BMCs. For my live…
The Layout I love the effect of the torn edges in the layered background of this layout. The August 2021 Creative Memories Blog example uses the Denim Texture Paper Pack and You Got This Borders, which are both now retired. I will be using the new Fur Baby collection for my demo as I have…
