Racetrack Scrapbook Layout

Posted in Creative Memories Border Maker Ideas, Masculine Layouts, Outdoor Scrapbook Layouts by

The Revved Up Collection is such a fantastic addition to the Creative Memories product line! It’s great for all who have photos of motorsports from car racing, car shows, classic cars and hot rods to motorcycles and dirt bikes! Without the stickers and embellishments, the papers are great for any kind of masculine layout.

I used the Revved Up Collection with the Gear Wheel Border Punch and Tire Tracks Border Maker Cartridge to create this layout for some of my husband’s late model race car photos. I used the border punch and border maker cartridge to punch around large circles that I cut using the Custom Cutting System with the Jumbo Circle Pattern. I also used CM’s White and Cranberry Cardstock.

Please see my YouTube video for a demonstration of how I punched these pieces.

Fancy Punched Corners

Posted in Beach Scrapbook Layouts, Creative Memories Border Maker Ideas, Masculine Layouts, Summer Scrapbook Layouts, Technique Layout, Travel Scrapbook Layouts by

Creative Memories is widely known for producing some of the best scrapbooking tools on the market, and I love to share techniques for using those tools! In addition to tools, CM also offers some of the freshest and on-trend scrapbooking papers, embellishments and stickers along with some great storage options. If you haven’t looked lately, now is a great time to browse all of the categories on the CM website!

For my June Monthly Technique Layout and Challenge, I shared a technique for punching paper corners with either Border Punches or the Original Border Maker System to create fancy patterns. This technique will work with edge or knockout style Border Punches and Border Maker Cartridges. For my first layout, I used the edge style Floral Peaks Border Punch with papers, embellishments and stickers from the Tropic Time Collection.

For my second layout, I used the Hand Tools Border Punch and also the Original Border Maker System with the Tire Tracks Border Maker Cartridge with paper, stickers and embellishments from the Revved Up Collection. The knockout style of this punch and cartridge creates a different type of pattern than the edge style punches and cartridges. I love the versatility of this technique and the different looks that you can punch!

For step-by-step directions and a demo, please view my instructional video on my YouTube channel. Make sure to watch to the end of the video to hear about my 2024 Summer Layout Challenge!

All of the tools and materials that I used for these two layouts are available for purchase through my CM website. With your purchase, you’ll be enrolled in my Customer Rewards Program to receive gifts and credits from me!

Genuine Outdoor Scrapbook Layout

Posted in Creative Memories Border Maker Ideas, Masculine Layouts, Outdoor Scrapbook Layouts by

Hello!  Today I’m sharing a double-page layout that I created with the Genuine Paper and Stickers from Creative Memories.  I originally shared this idea at our Creative Life Scrapbooking PJ Party (virtual crop) last week.  This new collection is great for your masculine and outdoor photos.  It features shades of green and blue but also has pops of ivory, burnt orange and poppy red.  The paper consists of small neutral prints along with plaid, stripes, houndstooth, and wood-grain prints.

The tools that I used mimic the forest background of my photos and really brought my layout to life.  CM’s new Timeless Tweed Border Maker Cartridge is obviously great for masculine layouts and coordinates nicely with the Genuine Collection, but I also envision using it for playful layouts featuring my grandchildren.  I also used my current favorite CM tool – the Pine Tree Punch. This punch sold out quickly when it was first introduced in October and is now back in stock. This is a must-have punch for outdoor and Christmas layouts. Please order it sooner than later as it will likely sell out again.

I designed my layout to conserve paper, so the backgrounds consist of strips of the green print paper and the wood-grained paper that have been taped together to create 12″ x 12″ sheets.

1. Cut 2 pieces of the light green paper to 12” x 9”.
2. Cut 2 pieces of the wood-grained paper to 12” x 3” and two more pieces to 12” x 1-1/5”.
3. Adhere the wood-grained pieces onto the light green pieces making two 12” x 12” pages for your backgrounds.  Use your cutting mat to help you line-up the strips making sure that they’re straight and also that your finished piece measures 12″ x 12″.  See photo below.
4. From brown cardstock, use the Original Border Maker with the Timeless Tweed Border Maker Cartridge to punch 4 borders and adhere as shown using the Repositional Tape Refill.

5. From the dark slate paper, use the Pine Tree Punch to punch 16 trees and adhere across the tops of your two pages.  Use CM’s Repositionable Tape to help you get your trees in a straight line.
6. Cut a piece of dark green paper to 8-1/2” x 6-1/2” and adhere to your first page.
7. Cut 2 pieces of dark green paper to 12” x ¾” and adhere behind the tops and bottoms of photos on your second page.
8. Add a journaling box, Pine Cone punch-outs, and stickers as desired.
