The Layout I first shared this layout in the fall of 2020 when I was a member of the Creative Life Scrapbooking design team. I used the wood texture paper that was part of the Graceful Theme Pack. With the release of the new Wonderful Day collection that includes a Woodgrain Paper Pack, I thought…
Did you order 2024 Secret Box #3? I just ADORE the colors of the Retro Vibes decorative collection, but we all know that the Paisley Border Punch is the star of the show. One of the first questions I have when getting a new border punch is “Will it go in the round with the…
The Layout I have been waiting WEEKS for this layout to be shared on the Creative Memories blog so that I could do it as a demo for Scrapbook Live. The big blocks of colors just frame out the photos so nicely. I like that they are 3×4 photos in the sample as you can…

The Layout I am a sucker for rounded corners, so this layout from the CM blog has been on my to-do list since it came out as part of the Life at the Lake collection. I love how the smaller photos are worked into the design and with some creative placement (and some peekaboo pockets!)…
