Thanksgiving Turkey Scrapbook Layout

Posted in Autumn Scrapbook Layouts, Fall Scrapbook Layouts, Family Scrapbook Layouts by

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends and followers in the USA! I hope that you enjoy a memory-making day filled with your loved ones. Thank you so much for following my blog and for your support of my small business. I am grateful for you. To celebrate the holiday, I created a fun Thanksgiving layout with some funky turkeys and a free downloadable handout.

For my layout, I used the Autumn Cottage Paper, and Stickers, Variety Mats, Vellum Paper, and Layered Border Embellishments from Creative Memories. This collection is now sold out, but you may still find some pieces from your favorite CM advisor or substitute with other materials. To create the turkeys, I used the Custom Cutting System with Circle Patterns, Festive Light Bulb Punch and the Flames and Drops Punch all from Creative Memories. The Festive Light Bulb Punch is also sold out with the company, but please reach out to your CM advisor. The Flames and Drops Punch was an exclusive punch that had been available through a past promotion.

I so appreciate your purchases through my Creative Memories website link, and I offer a generous Customer Rewards Program. I’ll be mailing my 4th Quarter Customer Rewards Gifts at the end of December. You’ll receive a gift from me for your $150 in purchases for the 4th Quarter.

As a little Thanksgiving gift for you, I created a free printable handout with my layout instructions. I hope that you enjoy creating my funky turkeys!

Log Cabin Hearts Layout & Black Friday Promo

Posted in Autumn Scrapbook Layouts, Black Friday, Christmas Layouts, Technique Layout by

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.

Happy Scrapping!

Embossed Vellum Leaves Scrapbook Layout

Posted in Autumn Scrapbook Layouts, Fall Scrapbook Layouts, Outdoor Scrapbook Layouts by

One of my favorite parts of autumn is when the leaves start to turn color, and my yard turns into a kaleidoscope of orange, yellow, green, red and brown. I love taking photos of the pretty fall colors and taking hikes in the changing forest. I created the layout below for some of my fall hiking photos using the Autumn Cottage Collection and Autumn Cottage Vellum Papers from Creative Memories.

I used the old Maple Leaf, Simple Leaf, and Five Leaf Punches from Creative Memories to punch leaves of different shades of Autumn Cottage Vellum. I used the Multi-Purpose Tool to add embossed details to the leaves and layered the leaves to create my symphony of fall colors. You can recreate this layout using any leaf punches.

Please see my YouTube video for measurements and a demonstration on creating this layout. Please click here to view my instructions.

You may purchase the Autumn Cottage Collection and more through my Creative Memories website link.

I’ll be sharing some of my own exclusive layouts during my Virtual Croptoberfest Workshop on September 27th and 28th. There will be recorded video instructions, printable handouts and Zoom sessions.

Vellum Circles Scrapbook Layout

Posted in Autumn Scrapbook Layouts, Croptoberfest Layouts, Fall Scrapbook Layouts, Scrapbook Page Layouts, Technique Layout by

Lately we’ve been seeing more vellum from Creative Memories. Currently CM offers the Autumn Cottage Vellum Paper Pack, Something Blue Vellum Paper Pack, Serene Waters Vellum Paper Pack and the Cue the Blue Vellum Paper Pack. Each pack contains 5 sheets of different colors and some have designs.

As I’m often asked for ideas on using vellum, I decided to play with the new Autumn Cottage Collection and created the layout below that features the vellum from the collection.

I used the Circle Punch from Creative Memories to punch 1-3/4″ circles from a sheet of the Autumn Cottage Designer Paper and the Autumn Cottage Vellum Paper. I adhered the circles in rows and used the Vellum Tape Runner Refill to adhere the vellum circles. My photo mats are 3-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. I used the new Garland Banner Border Punch layered with Autumn Cottage Stickers to create some decorative pieces for the layout.

Please view my demonstration video for tips on assembling the layout, using the Vellum Tape Runner Refill and tips for the Garland Banner Border Punch.

All of the tools and materials that I used can be purchased using my Creative Memories website link. With your purchase, you’ll be enrolled in my Customer Rewards Program to receive gifts, freebies and product credits from me.

Currently Creative Memories is offering FREE SHIPPING on purchases of $80+ in the U.S. The FREE SHIPPING PROMO ends at noon CT on Friday, September 6th.
