Black Friday | Karyn Crops

Ho, ho , ho! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! December has started with a bang over at Creative Memories with a year-end sale of over 175 different items! You’ll be able to find some bargains marked at 60% off!

Also, the Creative Life Scrapbooking Team launched its annual Holly Days feature yesterday. The CLS team is sharing a new holiday layout each day from December 1st – 10th on its Facebook page. Plus, there’s a Holly Days Sketch Book with measurements available on the CLS website.

For my December Technique Layout & Challenge, I’m sharing a super quick and easy layout today. You only need 2 sheets of paper and some cardstock and a few cuts and folds to make this beautiful layout to highlight 2 special photographs.

To create my layout, I used the Star of Wonder (Black Friday Promo) Collection, but you can substitute with any materials.

When I first created this layout, I saw a Christmas Tree in my folded piece. But after looking at it longer, I also see a house. Will you create yours as a tree or a house? Make sure to share a photo of your completed version in my private Facebook group for an entry into my December Door Prize Drawing!

Ho, ho, ho! Black Friday has come early to Creative Memories! CM’s annual Black Friday Promo began yesterday on Monday, November 11th. It’s scheduled to end on November 22 at noon CT, but the promo bundles are likely to run out before the end date. To get your choice of a freebie bundle, don’t delay!

With a $150 purchase, you can select from one of three FREE promo bundles. The bundles are full of exclusive items that won’t be available for purchase otherwise. And all three are great choices! With larger purchases, you can select more than one bundle. Will you select the Enchanted Snow Globe, Cookie Exchange or Christmas on the Coast Bundle? Please click here to place your purchase.

For my monthly Technique Layout & Challenge, I’m sharing two versions with a quilted log cabin heart design. l love this design for both Thanksgiving and Christmas layouts, but it will be great with any type of layout and collection. Just follow my cutting guide to cut strips and adhere them in a heart pattern.

For my first layout, I used the 12-Inch Trimmer and Autumn Cottage Collection from Creative Memories. This collection is sold out with Creative Memories, but many advisors have some in their inventories. I started by cutting a 1″ hollow frame from the brown/teal plaid paper and adhering a 11-1/2″ x 11-1/2″ piece of Bright White Cardstock. The center strip is 12″ x 4″, and the wood paper squares are 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″. My photos mats are 4″ x 4-1/2″ and 3″ x 3″. I used a Brown Dual-Tip Pen to add faux stitching to my hearts and layout as shown. The small plaid prints on the Autumn Cottage Variety mats were the perfect scale for my hearts. Please see the diagram below for the sizes of the strips for the hearts.

I used the same measurements and technique for my second layout. For this page, I used the Christmas Charm Collection, Bright White Cardstock, and a Black Dual-Tip Pen all from Creative Memories. The Christmas Charm Paper is momentarily sold out but will be back in stock soon.

Please view my YouTube video for a demonstration on how to create my layout.

With your $150 purchase for Black Friday, you will also receive a free 4th Quarter Customer Rewards Gift from me. Don’t delay in ordering for Black Friday! The promo bundles won’t last long.

Happy Scrapping!
