The Good Life Scrapbook Layout

October 12, 2025 2 Comments

Welcome to The Good Life, where naps are an art form and texture steals the show! Designer Desiree Saskiw captured her pampered feline’s best “I run this house” poses in a warm, layered layout that’s equal parts cozy and cool. Desiree reached for her Ranger Distress Grit Paste – Crypt and the Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Honeycomb Stencil to create that perfectly imperfect background texture. The subtle raised hexagons add just enough grunge to balance out the soft, snuggly photos — proving that even the fluffiest cat deserves a little edge. The layout’s fiery oranges and vintage neutrals come together with Simple Stories and DCWV patterned papers, plus a sprinkle of Tim Holtz Idea-ology stickers and dimension from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. The result? A purr-fectly balanced mix of grit, warmth, and feline fabulousness. So grab your stencils, your pastes, and maybe your favorite nap buddy — because The Good…

Elegant Feathers Stamp Set by Impression Obsession

July 16, 2019 5 Comments

Hello Creative Scrapbookers! Jayme Loge here with a little glance at what is on my scrap table this week! I’ve not spent a lot of creative time making cards or scrapbooking lately; I’ve been creating in other ways, exploring poured acrylic painting, working in different kinds of planners, creating messy art lessons for second graders and playing with the Impression Obsession Elegant Feathers stamp set. My oldest niece graduated in June, so I took that as an opportunity to get back to my first love and create a grad card for her. I love how it turned out- it is not at all traditional but I think it is encouraging for a lovely young woman about to head out into the adult world. With everything laying out on my scrapbook table, I just kept going and created this layout using an old photo. I stamped out a bunch of feathers…

Tuesday With The Team ~ A Colourful Layout From Kim Gowdy

May 7, 2019 7 Comments

Hello and happy May! Kim here with a colourful layout share today using products a from Simple Stories, Impression Obsession, Clearsnap and Glue Dots! I have been emptying my craft room as we are doing some renovations once again on our home. During the tedious job of moving all my craft supplies I came across two photos from our Crop & Cruise vacation from over 10 years ago. This was actually the first time I met team Creative Scrapbooker and have grown some wonderful friendships from this holiday. I wanted my layout to be happy and summery, but needed a simple background as the pictures themselves were “busy”! I opted to build my layout on a piece of Creative Scrapbooker Superstock. I pulled out my Simple Stories’ Hello Summer collection. The colours worked perfectly and the embellishments fit the theme of my photos. I first stamped the background with a…

April 9, 2019 2 Comments

Hello everyone, Cathie Allan here today on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine blog playing with Dare 2B Artzy! While demoing and doing make’n takes in the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine booth in Dallas at the Stamp & Scrap Expo I had the absolute pleasure to meet Cindy Sartain, owner of Dare 2B Artzy, stamps, dies & stencils. Their booth was directly across from ours & oh, my goodness …. I fell in love at first sight with her products. Of course, I had to bring some home to introduce her stamps to my ink 🙂 I have created 2 awesome quick & easy cards using two of her sets and one of her stencils. I kept the techniques so simple & fun that if you follow my articles in the fabulous, quarterly book, “Creative Scrapbooker Magazine” (you know it is “way” past “just” a magazine) you will probably know how I achieved…

They are perfect for photos from the Pumpkin Patch, corn maze, bobbing for apples, Jack-O-Lantern Carving, Halloween costumes and parties, and of course, all things Pumpkin Spice! You might remember that last May I designed a Sunburst cut file to share with you, and I decided to take a spooky spin on it and turn it into a spider web! The rays of the sun became the radials of the web and I added the curved spirals in between to create a web that can be cut on any electronic cutting device! And what’s a web without a spider? Inspired by…
