Cascading Spacer Set – the perfect tool for the perfect page!
You know that feeling when you finish a delightfully crafty single-page layout and then look at your stack of photos and think — okay, but where do the rest of these go? You aren’t the only one who has had that thought!
I’ve previously shared ways to work in a 6×12″ Peekaboo Pocket (or two) when you need to add just a few more photos to your layout. But what happens when that photo stack is a dozen deep? This is the perfect scenario to use several 6×12 pockets in a cascading arrangement. And the secret to making it look polished and intentional instead of just “pockets slapped on a page”? The Creative Memories Cascading Spacer Set. This tool makes aligning all of your Peekaboo Pockets so much easier — everything lines up, the spacing works, and the whole thing just COMES TOGETHER.
We are also going to talk about the Cascading Spacers Playbook — because yes, there is a playbook, and yes, it is helpful! I have some specific notes and tips I want to share that I think will make a real difference when you sit down to use it for your own projects. Warning: I am going to put on my math hat and talk numbers!
Here’s the big idea behind this session: you do not have to choose between a beautiful statement page and having room for ALL your photos. A cascading Peekaboo Pocket page is the PERFECT companion — it coordinates beautifully, holds plenty of photos, and when it is done, it looks like it was always meant to go together.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
- How the CM Cascading Spacer Set works and why it makes this project so much easier
- Tips for using the Cascading Spacers Playbook
- How to build a cascading waterfall-style layout using 6×12 Peekaboo Pockets
- How to design/decorate 6×12 pockets so they coordinate with your statement page
My demo layout created a cascading page to complement a layout I created in an earlier episode of Scrapbook Live. Here is the link to this previous demo.
I made the left page below as part of THIS EPISODE and created a cascading peekaboo page to complement. Note: This is not part of the demo video below.

Note: I’m sharing TWO resources for this session — a link to the digital version of the Creative Memories Cascading Spacers Playbook (you can order the printed version HERE) so you have the official reference, PLUS my own annotated, supplemental PDF with personal notes and tips added right into the pages. Use them together for the best experience!
Grab your Cascading Spacer Set and your Peekaboo Pockets and join me LIVE on Wednesday, May 20th at 3pm ET | 12pm PT on my Facebook page! You are going to LOVE the possibilities!
