Triangle Christmas Tree Scrapbook Layout

Posted in Christmas Layouts, Creative Memories Border Maker Ideas, Scrapbook Page Layouts, Technique Layout by

Oh, Christmas Tree, your branches green delight us! For my monthly Technique Layout & Challenge, I used triangle pieces and a variety of small punches and border maker cartridges from Creative Memories to create this beautifully adorned Christmas Tree. It will be great for photos of your family around your Christmas Tree.

I used a sheet of wood grained paper from the Wonderful Day Paper Pack and papers, stickers and a variety mat from the Christmas Charm Collection for my layout. I also used a sheet of Bright White Cardstock. For my tree ornaments, I used a variety of small punches and border maker cartridges and a few of these are currently available as BOGO items for CM’s Holi-Deals. You’ll find the Piece-by-Piece Mini Trio Punch Set and the Mirrored Scallops Border Maker Cartridge as BOGO items. The Ribbons and Bows Border Punch is not part of the BOGO sale, but it is in limited quantity in the Last Chance section. The Bears Chain Border Maker Cartridge is a current item. I also used the retired Ornaments Chain Border Maker Cartridge and the retired Christmas Quartet Mini Punch for the remaining ornaments. You can easily substitute other border maker cartridges for these pieces.

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!

Tiered Borders Scrapbooking Technique

Posted in Baby Scrapbook Layouts, Creative Memories Border Maker Ideas, Summer Scrapbook Layouts by

Instead of focusing on a specific collection, this post is about a specific technique that I’m calling “tiered borders”. This is a simple but effective technique to use with any of the chain style border maker cartridges from Creative Memories. Chain style cartridges punch a stand-alone border that falls off of the paper after being punched. Currently CM has 10 chain style border maker cartridges and any of them would work with this technique.

For my first layout, I used the Original Border Maker System with the Mirrored Scallops Chain Border Maker Cartridge. I also used the new Lullaby Lane Collection. The Lullaby Lane Collection features papers, stickers and embellishments that are great for baby boy or baby girl layouts and also extra gender specific papers.

For instructions on creating the tiered borders, please see my YouTube video. Before you watch, please make sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel.

I loved this technique so much that I created a second layout using a different border maker cartridge. This time I used the Original Border Maker System with the Rope Chain Border Maker Cartridge. I used the Seaside Collection for my boating photos. After punching the borders, I cut the rope paper to 11″ x 11″. The striped border piece at the top is 3-3/4″ x 1-3/4″.

If you would like to purchase any of these tools or materials, now is a great time! Creative Memories is offering FREE SHIPPING on orders of $80+ in the US. I also offer a Customer Rewards Program for those who purchase through me. Make a $150 purchase and receive a gift of exclusive paper and stickers from me! Hurry, FREE SHIPPING ends at noon CT on March 11th.
