Scrapbook Live: Re-Imagining Classic Borders with the Angels Chain BMC

I will be going LIVE on my Facebook page at 9:00 am PT on Friday, November 28th, 2025. I will be sharing a layout from the CM Blog that features triangle stripes – so be sure to bring your trimmer! If you can’t join me for the FB Live, the recording will be available to watch later on Facebook, or you can find it on my YouTube Channel. I will also add it to this blog post along with a photo of my final project.

Magic of Christmas Collection + Angels Chain BMC

This week on Scrapbook Live, we’re breathing new life into a set of classic Creative Memories border ideas! We’ll be using the Angels Chain Border Maker Cartridge along with the Magic of Christmas collection to recreate a group of borders originally shared on the Creative Memories Blog a few years back when the Candy Cane Chain BMC and the Joy to the World collection were front and center.

Instead of the Candy Cane Chain BMC, I will be showcasing how the Angels Chain BMC can effortlessly step into the design and give it a whole new feel. You’ll see how the angelic silhouettes of the border design work as a standout element or as a delicate accent layered with decorative papers and cardstock.

These borders offer the perfect balance of detail and simplicity. They’re ideal for holiday pages, choir or concert photos, winter themes, and even heritage layouts thanks to the timeless feel of the Angels Chain design.

Why This Matters

One of my favorite parts of border building is discovering how adaptable CM’s tools truly are. You don’t need the exact punch used in the inspiration project—most borders can be re-imagined with what you already own. Simply match the structure of the border, choose colors that suit your current project, and plug in a newer cartridge or collection.

Not only does this give you a steady flow of layout ideas, it also helps you build confidence with your tools and try combinations you may not have considered before.
