I just love grid layouts – the clean, simple lines just speak to me (likely because nothing else in my life, including my house, seems to fall into the “clean” or “simple” category!) While the blog sample only shows three images, it is easy to add additional photos as needed! In the handout below I’ve…
February is one of those months that just flies by. I am sure it has something to do with it being a short month, but it’s hard to believe that we are at the final Wednesday of the month already! I always try to do a border project on the last Wednesday of the month,…
I am a bit of a sucker for what I call mod squares – the lovely, rounded corner squares that are a main feature of this layout. Creative Memories has two tools that make mod squares VERY easy to create – the 2-way Corner Rounder and the Square Punch. For my demo layout I chose…
I am a huge, HUGE fan of the Creative Memories Decorative Trimmer. This is a classic CM Tool and I rave about it to everyone I can and love to incorporate it into my projects. I just gasped when I saw this layout on the CM Blog and new it was a MUST DO for…

Peekaboo Pockets from Creative Memories truly are a scrapper’s best friend. We all love to get several photos on a page, but at the same time we want to showcase a bit of crafty design that conveys our love of what we do. Peekaboo Pockets are a GREAT way to accomplish both tasks in the…
Deep Blue Sea was one of my favorite nautical collections from Creative Memories. It debuted in 2019 and was an instant hit! This layout from the CM Blog features the Scallop Wave Border Maker Cartridge, which is also a favorite of mine. I love the overall effect mirroring the punch achieves and I am looking…
I’ve had my eye on this blog project for a while. It’s a striking layout that will definitely be a showstopper in your album. The original layout was created with the (now retired) Emerald Gemstone collection from Creative Memories and I will be using the Silver & Gold collection with a few photos from the…
I just love the red, white and blue of the North Pole Magic collection. This set of papers and embellishments was available as part of the 2019 Black Friday Promotion and this layout originally debuted on the CM Blog on November 19, 2019. For my demo layout I used the Party Time! collection along with…
