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…

May 23, 2023 No Comments

Hey there! It’s Noreen Smith here to share a layout using one of the new U.S. Destinations Paper Packs and Stickers from Creative Memories with you! The four destinations featured – as voted on by Creative Memories Advisors! – are Florida, Great Lakes, New York City and Washington, D.C., and of course these new paper packs and stickers will be great for documenting your trips to those destinations. But you might be surprised at how well they will work with lots of other types of layouts too! For example, my family and I recently spent some Spring break on Vancouver Island where we enjoyed hiking the Wild Pacific Trail and visiting the historic Amphitrite Lighthouse near Ucluelet, British Columbia. I knew the U.S. Destinations Great Lakes Paper Pack and Stickers featured lighthouses, so I set out to see if I could make the fun Great Lakes papers work with my…

Slice of Summer with Creative Memories

July 20, 2017 No Comments

Hi everyone Noreen Smith once again playing with Creative Memories! Happy to be back on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine blog today sharing a couple of layouts made with Creative Memories’ new Slice of Summer seasonal products! As soon as I saw the papers, stickers and variety mat pack for this collection I knew it would work for lots of fun summer photos.For the first layout I chose several photos of my family at the beach last year in Osoyoos, British Columbia. The photos are not the best, as the sun was behind my sons as they stood in the lake, but I wanted to use them to remember the lovely, relaxing holiday that we had. I figured that cropping them down would help, so I chose the best photo to leave as the largest (4” x 4”), then trimmed down the supporting photos to 3” x 3”. I matted all…
