Art Impressions Christmas Slimline Stamp Set and Cathie Allan

September 14, 2023 No Comments

Cathie Allan was very busy designing projects using this Art Impressions Christmas Slimline Stamp Set. Here is a look at one of the layouts she designed. And here is a fabulous coordinating card. That snowman from the Art Impressions Christmas Slimline stamp set is absolutely delicious. WOWZA! Stunning creations Cathie! I love that Cathie used the stamp on BOTH a card and a layout. We often purchase supplies with one thing in mind and forget that there are so many possibilities and projects that it could apply to! Cathie’s projects both have a really unique aspect to them – they both include REMOVABLE tags that you can take off and hang on the Christmas tree. How stinkin’ cool is that! Both of these projects were featured in the Fall issue of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine in Cathie’s regular column – Cathie’s Choice.Do you have your copy yet? CLICK HERE to order…

April 21, 2022 No Comments

Howdy! Noreen from OrganizedandCreativeMom.com here to share four ideas and tips for making up the fantastic paper Mini Photo Albums from Creative Memories! I love this new Cherish, Treasure and Appreciate You Bundle and with Mother’s and Father’s Day coming up, these make the perfect little gift albums to celebrate Mom and Dad – or any other special people in your life! The bundle features two 8” x 8” paper Mini Photo Albums – one with a soft, more feminine palette and the other with bolder, masculine colors – and a coordinating sticker sheet with sayings like “Best Mom Ever” and “My Hero”. The bundle components are also sold individually so if you need three masculine albums and only one feminine album, CM has got you covered! I thought it would be fun to share a few ideas on how you can approach making these albums to really customize them…

Looking for a fabulous Halloween collection for this year’s or last year’s or …. well any time frame photo 🙂 – Echo Park Paper Co. has created a line that will be sure to GET YOUR HALLOWEEN ON! The Halloween Party Collection! Classic ghosts and candy and colours! LOVE IT! My favourite part of this collection is that line of dancing skeletons with those JAZZ hands. (I was a dance mom for 15 years!) And who doesn’t need a classic Spider Web die with a little spider? Here is an example of this fabulous collection in action. Add this collection to your Halloween shopping list cause scrapbooking those little moments is more important than the candy. Okay – well if it is blue whales or gourmet jelly beans or crispy crunch minis… okay forget it…. candy is important! Happy Friday Friends!

I Want To Tell You A Secret…

February 13, 2021 1 Comment

Hey you!!! Come closer…. I want to tell you a secret! GREAT sketches, make GREAT layouts! I have pretty much religiously kept up with almost ALL of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine’s Sketchy Challenges since the beginning! I LOVE sketches and I LOVE putting my own twist to them. If you have never let a sketch work as a starting point for your creativity, try it out! Here is the February Sketchy Challenge, designed by Kerry Engel.Here is my take on the sketch. I pulled out an older Carta Bella collection that I had in my stash. It is the ‘Hello Fall’ collection from 2017, and YES, it is still available to buy! It was perfect for the autumn vibe I was going for. I did not stress that my title didn’t go all the way around like the sketch, I adapted with the use of the Enamel Shapes from the collection.…

Hi friends! Noreen here from OrganizedandCreativeMom.com here, sharing a layout based on the March 2020 Sketchy Challenge sketch! Each month I look forward to seeing and using Kerry Engelle’s FREE sketch, and this month I’m using the new Spring Medley Collection from Creative Memories to create my layout based on it. It is a beautiful collection with soft blue, aqua and green accented with navy, gray and beige, and I love that there is a Designer Paper Pack with beautiful patterns AND a Tone-on-Tone Paper Pack that are so versatile! The collection also features sweet stickers, beautiful mat cards, fun paper pockets & embellishments, and a beautiful new Spring Leaf Border Maker Cartridge – all of which work together to document so many different occasions and themes! Take a look: And here is Kerry’s March Sketch from the Sketchy Gallery that I’ll be basing my own layout on: To start…
