I'm following Karyn from <a href="https://karyncrops.com/2020/11/26/creative-life-scrapbooking-fall-blog-hop---hello-autumn-layout" target="_blank">Karyn Crops</a> today and Tessa from <a href="https://tessascrapbooks.com/?p=2430" target="_blank">Tessa Scrapbooks</a> will be your next stop.

You might also want to follow our Facebook Page at Creative Life Scrapbooking for even more inspiration and ideas for your scrapbook projects. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Today I'm sharing a 2-page layout created with Creative Memories' Hello Autumn Collection. Fall is my favorite time of the year and I try to take every opportunity I have to get outdoor pictures wherever there is even a hint of fall color. I took the pictures used in today's layout at an apple orchard on a cold day in late September of 2019. The leaves on the apple trees were just beginning to turn but no matter, it still looked like fall, and the colors from the Hello Autumn Collection complemented my photos perfectly. You'll find instructions for my layout below. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcnTq7mg6cMovIi3IKTHqjg4yoClmO40yynuy_36qSjsPyy_8RHvJD6lVfv1NjQyQxd6rp1T3aVwdyeYAH0vrXvQghXAY-MnyRL1bqnXTj8-J6mj6v7AUqz2gV2hYl8UX83qDniEcJxb8/s2048/2020-11-23_0001.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Have you seen Creative Memories' new Vitamin Sea Collection yet? Along with our new Seashells Decorative Border Punch and Kissing Fish Chain Border Maker Cartridge it's perfect for scrapbooking that tropical vacation you took last summer (before we were hit with the Covid 19 virus!). The photos used in two of today's layouts were taken on the Central California coast. Despite the fact that there are palm trees along the Central California coast, I wouldn't necessarily call it tropical. Never the less, I love how the patterns and colors complimented my photos! My third layout was created with photos I took while in Palm Springs last year. Again, not exactly tropical but the colors and patterns were perfect for my layout!<br />

As you can see, I tweaked Lisa's sketch a bit by rotating the left page a turn to the left, keeping the bottom border as is. Keep scrolling for directions for this and all three of today's scrapbook layouts. </div>

I love mixing patterns in my layouts but I don't love using up a lot of patterned papers to achieve the look I'm going for. My goal for the next two layouts was to use one sheet of patterned paper per two page layout in addition to my base (refill pages, cardstock or two sheets of pattern paper). My plan was to add variety and pattern with mats from the Vitamin Sea Variety Mat Pack, coordinating cardstock and paper scraps instead of cutting up more pattern paper. I used two sheets of patterned paper as my base for the next layout and white cardstock for the last (you could also use white refill pages). Except for the Spring Leaf Chain Border used on my Palm Springs layout I met my goal and saved myself a lot of patterned paper for more layouts! Woohoo!! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Layout 1: Lovin' Life</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Using your choice of cardstock as your base, cut one sheet of pattern paper into one 5"x12" piec and one 7"x12" piece. Cut each piece to 9 3/4 inches long, leaving you with one 5" x 9 3/4" piece and one 7" x 9 3/4" long. Set aside the two pieces you have left (you'll need them for layout #3). Adhere your 5" wide piece to the left page and the 7" wide piece to the right page as shown. </li>
<li>Using your 12-Inch Trimmer and the straight blade, cut two 2 1/4" x 12" pieces from the blue stripe pattern paper shown. Adhere to the bottom edge of both pages as shown. </li>
<li>Using your 12-Inch Trimmer and the Wave blade, cut two 1" x 12" strips from the dark blue pattern side of the blue stripe paper (see step 2 above). Using the same Wave blade, cut two 1 1/4" x 12" strips from light green pattern paper shown. Stack the dark blue strips and the light green strips and adhere to blue stripe border as shown. </li>
<li>Using the Border Maker with the Kissing Fish Chain Border Maker Cartridge, punch two borders from light blue cardstock (I used Light Blue Shimmer but Cloud would also work). Use a Repositionable Tape Runner to adhere to border as shown. </li>
<li>Using the 12-Inch Trimmer and the straight blade, cut four 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" photo mats from light blue cardstock and one 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" photo mat from light green pattern paper. Use the light blue to mat four 4x6"horizontal photos and the the light green to mat one 4x6" vertical photo. Use a tape runner to adhere matted photos to layout as shown. </li>
<li>Mat the 4 x 6" Lovin' Life mat from the Vitamin Sea Variety Mat Pack with the 4 1/2' x 6 1/2" dark green mat shown. Adhere to left page as shown. Cut one 1 1/2" x 4 1/2" journal mat from light blue cardstock and adhere to left page as shown. </li>
<li>Fussy cut around the 4th shell from Shell Laser Cut Border and use a Repositionable Tape Runner to adhere to the right page as shown - light tan side up. Adhere the light blue side to the left page as shown. Cover the wonky cut shell at the end of the border with the dark blue shell sticker shown. </li>
<li>Cut the green laser cut border shown into two 5" long borders as shown and use Repositionable tape runner to adhere to layout as shown. Continue to embellish as shown or as desired, journal your story and you're done. </li>
</ol>
<b>Layout 2: Make Your Own Sunshine</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Using two refill pages as your base and the 12-Inch Trimmer, cut one 1" x 12" strip and one 5" x 12" piece from dark blue pattern paper shown. Set aside the left over 6 x 12" piece (you'll need it for Layout 3). Adhere the 1 x 12" strip to the top and the 5 x 12" piece to the bottom of the left page as shown. Wallpaper the right page with another sheet of the same pattern paper. </li>
<li>Using the 12-Inch Trimmer and the straight blade, cut one 6 1/2" x 12" piece from the coral pattern paper shown. From the 5 1/2 x 12" piece that's left, use the Seashells Decorative Border Punch to punch one seashells border. Set border aside with the 6 1/2" x 12" piece. Using the 12-inch trimmer and the Wave Blade, cut one 1/2" x 12" strip from the remainder of the coral pattern paper and set aside with the rest of the pieces cut from the coral pattern paper. </li>
<li>Use the straight blade to cut the remaining pattern paper to 3 x 12 inches. With the leaf pattern side facing you, use your fingers to tear a narrow strip from the right edge. Hint: tear the strip towards you and at an angle to reveal the white core of the pattern paper. Set piece aside with the rest of your coral pattern pieces. </li>
<li>Using the 12-Inch Trimmer and the Straight Blade, cut one 3/4" x 12" strip and two 2 1/2" squares from white or white shimmer cardstock. Using the Wave Blade, cut two 1/2" x 12" strips from the same white cardstock. Use the 12-Inch Trimmer and the straight blade to cut a 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece from the <b>inside</b> <b>only</b> of one 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" striped mat from the Vitamin Sea Variety Mat Pack, leaving a border around the mat. Set aside the outside piece to mat a photo later and cut the inside piece into two 2 1/4" squares and one 1" x 3 1/2" rectangle. </li>
<li>To assemble the left page: use Repositionable tape runner to adhere the two white 1/2" x 12" Wave strips to the underside of the 6 1/2" x 12" coral pattern paper as shown, making sure the herringbone pattern side is up. Use a brown dual-tip pen and a ruler to add faux stitching as shown and adhere to the left page as shown. Adhere one 2 1/4" stripe square to the top of one 2 1/2" white square. Use a brown dual-tip pen and a ruler to add faux stitching to the edge of the stripe square. Adhere to page as shown. Using a repositionable tape runner, adhere the shell border shown to the page with the leaf pattern up as shown. Adhere three 3 3/4" x 5 3/4" vertical photos to the coral pattern paper as shown. Adhere the 4" x 6" journal mat shown to the page as shown. I used the discontinued 3 in 1 Tag Maker to punch both ends of the 1" x 3 1/4" rectangle but you can either cut a V into each end or leave as is. Adhere to top of page as shown. Embellish page as shown. </li>
<li>To assemble the right page: adhere the light coral side of the Laser Cut Border shown to the right side of the right page as shown. Adhere the 3" x 12" torn paper piece shown to the page, covering part of the Laser Cut Border as shown. Adhere the 1/2" x 12" strip to the white 3/4" x 12" strip as shown. Adhere to page as shown. Adhere the remaining 2 1/4" striped square to the white square, add faux stitching and adhere to the border as shown. Mat one 4" x 6" horizontal photo with empty center mat (see step 4) and one 4" x 6" vertical photo with another 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" striped mat from the variety mat pack. Adhere both to page as shown. </li>
<li>To finish layout, trim the Make Your Own Sunshine mat from the variety mat pack to 4 x 4 1/2 inches. To create the dotted edge, using the fine tip end of a black dual-tip pen or the Denim Dot Pen and a clear plastic ruler and starting 1/8th of an inch from the edge, space your dots every 1/16th of an inch around the the edge of the mat. Adhere mat to page as shown. Cut a 1 3/4" x 4" rectangle from another striped mat, edge with faux stitching and adhere to page as shown. Fussy cut the floral laser cut border shown to about 4 inches long and adhere to rectangle. Embellish layout as shown, journal your story and you're done! </li>
</ol>
<div>
<b>Layout 3: Sunsets & Palm Trees</b></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Using white cardstock as your base, adhere the 2 1/4" x 7" piece left over from Layout 1 to the bottom of the left page and the 2 1/4" x 5" piece to the right page as shown. Using the Border Maker and the Spring Leaf Border Maker Cartridge, punch a 12" long border from green pattern paper. Cut border to one 5" long piece and one 7" long piece. Use repositionable tape runner to adhere each piece to it's corresponding border as shown. </li>
<li>Using the 12-Inch Trimmer and the straight blade, cut one sheet of the green pattern paper shown into one 4 1/2" x 12" piece which will leave you with a 7 1/2 x 12" piece. Use the 12-Inch Trimmer and the Stamping Blade to cut three 1/2" x 12" strips from the dark blue pattern paper left over from Layout 2. Adhere two strips to the underside of the 4 1/2" x 12" piece and one strip the the underside of the left side of the 7 1/2" x 12" piece. Adhere the 4 1/2" x 12" piece to the left page as shown, making sure that the left end of your border is covered. Adhere to the 7 1/2" x 12" piece to the right page as shown. </li>
<li>Adhere a 3 7/8" x 5 3/4" vertical photo and two 4 x 6 inch horizontal photos to the left page as shown. Adhere three 4 x 6 inch horizontal photos to the right page, overlapping two of the photos as shown. Mat the Sunsets & Palm Trees mat with a 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" dark blue mat and adhere to right page as shown. </li>
<li>I used dark blue sticker letters from the old Creative Memories for my sub-title on the left page but you can also use black if you like. To create the flags on the left page, cut one 1 1/4 x 2" piece from dark blue pattern paper scrap and one 1 5/8 x 1 3/8" piece from light green pattern paper scrap. Cut a V into one end of each and adhere to top of left page as shown. </li>
<li>Embellish with palm trees from the Vitamin Sea Laser Cut Borders, add stickers and embellishment shown, journal your story and that's it! You're done! </li>

I'm your first stop today followed by Noreen from <a href="http://www.organizedandcreativemom.com/2020/05/cls-spring-blog-hop-love-each-other.html?fbclid=IwAR3xfeCMAnhw4dq_IahtGgca6EPRdheUDNaLBf3bqH__5hdOV-D5HxGZeag" target="_blank">Organized & Creative Mom</a>.

You'll find a list of stops at the end of this post. Be sure to visit all of the stops for some super fun ideas for your spring layouts from the scrapbookers at Creative Life Scrapbooking. You might also want to follow our Facebook Page at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CreativeLifeScrapbooking/" target="_blank">Creative Life Scrapbooking Facebook Page</a> for inspiration and ideas for your scrapbooking layouts. Today I'll be sharing a layout created with Creative Memories' new Little Dreamer Collection.<br />
<br />
I hear some are using CM's Little Dreamer Collection for non-baby layouts, but I'm going with the obvious. I'm super excited about this new baby collection and can't wait to complete layouts that feature my two youngest great-grandsons! The sweet little guy featured in today's layout is already a year old. Because of the stay at home orders in my state I haven't seen him since the beginning of the year and I miss him like crazy! Working on layouts that include my great-grandchildren's photos takes a bit of the sting out of not being able to be with them.<br />

<br />
My goal for this layout was to use cardstock as my base and no more than two sheets of pattern paper. I chose Candlelight cardstock from CM's recent Cardstock Buffet but you could also use white refill pages as your base or any cardstock color you like. You'll notice that the green mats are narrow. Because I didn't want to use a second sheet of green pattern paper, I cut photo mats from what paper was left after punching and trimming my cloud borders. I then trimmed my photos to fit my mats. The grey mat on the left was cut from a Variety Mat Pack photo mat. Finally the grey pattern paper and the plaid are two different sides of the same sheet of paper. Scroll down for a list of supplies needed and instructions.<br />

<b>Instructions:</b><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Using your choice of cardstock or refill pages as your base and the 12-Inch Trimmer, cut plaid pattern paper into two 3 3/4" x 12" pieces, which will leave you with one 4 1/2 x 12" piece. Set your two smaller pieces aside and adhere the 4 1/2" x 12" piece to the right page with the grey side up as shown.</li>
<li>Using the Border Maker, the Clouds Border Maker Cartridge, and the 12-Inch Trimmer, punch and trim four 3/4" x 12" strips from the green pattern paper shown. Note: you can cut 1/2" x 12" strips if desired but make sure that your cut is no wider than 3/4" at it's highest point. You'll be using what's left of the green pattern paper for photo mats and will need about 9" x 12" left for your photo mats. </li>
<li>With the plaid side up and using Repositionable Tape, adhere strips to the underside of both of your 3 3/4" x 12" pieces as shown. Use a Tape Runner to adhere both pieces to layout as shown. Adhere Baby Love border stickers. </li>
<li>Using the 12-Inch Trimmer, cut two 4" x 6 1/4" rectangles and two 4" x 4" squares from green pattern paper. Using the Personal Trimmer, trim two horizontal photos to 3 3/4" x 5 7/8" and two more photos to 3 3/4" square. Adhere photos with their mats to the layout as shown. Use the Personal Trimmer to trim the grey photo mat shown to 4 1/2" x 5" and a vertical photo to 4" x 4 1/2". Adhere photo mat and photo to right page as shown. </li>
<li>Adhere the 4" long grey stripe border sticker above grey photo mat as shown. Use foam squares to adhere the Adorable banner sticker. To create the embellishment grouping under the grey photo mat, cut the green mat shown to 2 3/4" x 4" as shown. Use a corner rounder on the corners if desire and adhere to page as shown. Adhere the sticker and embellishments shown, using foam squares to adhere the heart embellishment. </li>
<li>Use the journal mat shown to journal your story and create a title with the stickers and embellishments shown. Add the Love Bug sticker and you're done! </li>

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today is Border Maker Monday on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CreativeLifeScrapbooking/" target="_blank">Creative Life Scrapbooking Facebook Page </a>and I'm sharing a new layout featuring CM's Spring Leaf Chain Border Maker Cartridge and Spring Medley Collect<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">ion. The Spring Leaf Chain BMC is one of my favorites! It's great for creating a stand alone border or accent as well as borders created with a combination of border punches and border maker cartridges. For today's layout I used it to create stand alone borders that accent my title and sub-title. </span></div>

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">Here are directions for creating today's layout: </span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #666666; display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
1. Using 12 x 12 Refill Pages as your base and the 12-Inch Trimmer, cut two 3 1/4" x 12" pieces from the grey pattern paper. Adhere each to the bottom of your bases. Cut two 8 3/4" x 12" pieces from the grey gingham paper and set aside. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
2. Using the 12-Inch Trimmer and the Scallop Blade cut three 1/2" x 12" strips from Grey or Silver Shimmer cardstock. Adhere two of the strips to the top of the grey pattern paper so that they overlap that paper 1/4" as shown. Adhere the grey gingham pieces to your layout as shown. Adhere the third cardstock strip to the left page so that the top of the strip measures 6 1/4" from the bottom of the bottom strip. Note: one edge of your strips will be covered by either the grey gingham paper or your pictures/journal box.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
3. Using the 12-Inch Trimmer and Straight Blade, cut one 4 x 6" piece and one 4 1/2" x 11 1/2" piece from the dark blue pattern paper shown. Cut a V into one end of the 4 1/2" x 11 1/2" piece and adhere to the right page as shown. Adhere the 4 x 6" piece and two 4 x 6" vertical photos to the left page as shown. Cut one Variety Mat Journal Box in half and adhere to the 4 x 6" blue pattern paper as shown. Adhere two 4 x 6" horizontal photos and two 4" x 4" photos to the right page as shown. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
4. Using the Border Maker System and the Spring Leaf Chain BMC punch one border from Silver Shimmer cardstock and two borders from the dark blue pattern paper. Trim the Silver Shimmer border to 7 5/8" long and adhere to the left page using repositionable tape runner. Adhere the remainder to the right page as shown. Trim one blue border to 5 1/2" long and use repositionable tape runner to adhere to the left page as shown. Trim the remaining blue border to about 7" long and use repositionable tape runner to adhere to the right page, tucking one end under the dark blue paper if needed. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
5. I used dark blue ABC/123 stickers to create both my title and sub-title. I also cut the "arrow" off the dandelion speech bubble and used it to accent my title as shown. The floral stickers used on the right page were cut from one sticker and the cut ends were tucked under the embellishments shown. Finish by journaling your story and you're done!<br />

I wanted to save as much of the strawberry pattern paper as possible for my second layout so instead of using two sheets as the background for my layout, I trimmed one sheet to 6" x 12" and pieced everything together. I also blew it big time when I cut the Scarlet cardstock so I went to a softer red from our discontinued Shades of Red cardstock pack. This was one easy peasy layout and I love it! </span></div>

I created the strawberry shortcake layout with pieces left over from the first. Here are the instructions for my strawberry shortcake layout:</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 6px 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
1. Using the strawberry pattern paper as your background, cut one 3" x 9" piece from the green pattern paper and one 5 3/4" x 7" piece from the aqua pattern paper. Assemble layout and adhere pieces to your background as shown with the aqua pattern paper partially covering the green. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 6px 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
2. Using the Border Maker and the Spring Leaf Chain Border Maker Cartridge, punch a 9" long border from the grey dot pattern paper. Use repositionable tape to adhere to the green pattern paper as shown. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 6px 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
3. Cut two 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" photo mats from red cardstock (I used Cranberry Cardstock but Scarlet Cardstock would also look great). Mat two 4" x 6" photos and adhere to page as shown. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 6px 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
4. I used a postage stamp punch from the old CM for the small aqua rectangle above my title but you can also cut a 1 1/4" x 1 1/2" rectangle from aqua cardstock. To finish your layout, create a vertical title using the TODAY letter stickers, use the journal box shown to journal your story and embellish as shown. </div>

Today is Border Maker Monday on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CreativeLifeScrapbooking/" target="_blank">Creative Live Scrapbooking Facebook Page </a>and I'll be sharing three layout's created with Creative Memories' Daydreamer Collection as well as CM's great border maker tools.<br />
<br />
I know I already mentioned this in another post but it's worth repeating as a much needed reminder to myself!. Once I have my camera in hand I take way too many photos. I don't really know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It's probably a good idea to take lots of photos but it's also an even better idea to keep the best out of what you've taken and delete the rest. I have the hardest time deleting the rest …. I want to keep them all! And I usually end up printing a whole lot more pictures than I will actually use in an album.<br />
<br />
Case in point - the photos I used in today's scrapbook layouts. I took these photos while visiting my #2 daughter along with my grand-daughter and her family over an early spring weekend in 2018. Because the pool in their great aunt and uncle's new home hadn't yet been fenced off, the girls weren't allowed in the backyard without an adult. When they wanted to go out to play I willingly grabbed my camera and went with them. I probably took somewhere around 200 plus photos of my great-granddaughters that Saturday morning and managed to edit them down to 74 images. Of course, I sent all 74 images to the printers. If I averaged 5 photos for each two-page spread in an album, those 74 pictures would fill an entire 15 page album! Yikes! To combat that problem, I've set a goal for 2020 to ruthlessly limit the number of photos I keep on my computer and send to the printers. We'll see how that goes! In the meantime, I'll be struggling with all the photos I've already had printed trying to decide what will go into an album and what won't. Such is the case with the photos I chose for today's scrapbook layouts. Knowing that I wasn't going to create a 15 page album with these photos, I had the hardest time deciding which photos I would scrapbook!<br />
<br />
Although I had a hard time choosing which photos I would use, I didn't have a hard time choosing which Creative Memories Collection I would use! CM's new Daydreamer Collection is the perfect match for the pictures I took of my daydreaming great-granddaughters. You'll find instructions for each layout below.<br />

Instructions: </div>
<ol>
<li> Use 12 x 12 Refill Pages as your base. Using the 12-Inch Trimmer, cut two 7" x 12" pieces from the pink pattern paper shown and two 5" x 12" pieces from the floral pattern paper shown. Adhere to both pages as shown. </li>

Adhere two border stickers shown to the lower edge of the lattice border, overlapping the lattice border as needed. </li>
<li>Use the Decorative Lattice Border Punch to punch two more borders from the dark green pattern paper. Use the 12-Inch Trimmer or a pair of sharp scissors to cut the top part of the border from the "lattice" as shown. Use a repositionable tape runner to adhere to the top edge of your layout as shown.</li>
<li>Use a sharp pair of scissors to fussy cut the corner floral arrangements from two variety mats. Adhere to your lattice border as shown, tucking the "Dreamer" word sticker slightly underneath the arraignment on the right. </li>
<li>Use a personal trimmer to trim the vertical side of the Joy variety mat to 4" x 4 1/2" and adhere to the left page.

I took pictures but I'm not ready to scrapbook them and I've been wanting to get the winter pictures I took of my great-granddaughters in 2018 (yes, I am behind!) scrapbooked. I love the way CM's Winterberry Collection complements my photos so today I'm sharing a layout that proves there doesn't have to be snow in your pictures to use this collection. You'll find instructions for my layout below. </span></span><span style="font-family: "quot";"><span style="background-color: #fbfefa; color: #333333; display: inline; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.4; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

I also dusted off my retired (old Creative Memories) heart punches for this layout.<br />
<br />
<b>Instructions: </b><br />
<ol>
<li>Using <a href="https://www.creativememories.com/shop-all/pages-protectors/plain-pages.html" target="_blank">Plain 12x12 Refill Pages</a> as your background and the 12-Inch Trimmer with the Straight Blade, cut four 2" x 12" strips from the purple printed paper shown. Adhere to both pages at the top and bottom as shown. </li>
<li>Using the 12-Inch Trimmer and the Scallop Blade, cut two 8 3/4" x 12" pieces from the white dotted paper shown. Adhere to both pages as shown, making sure to cover the edges of your purple strips. </li>
<li>Mat two 4" x 6" photos with the large dark purple and large light purple variety mats. You'll also need two 4" x 5 1/2" photos and two 3 3/4" x 4 3/4" photos. Adhere photos as shown.</li>
<li>To create the decorative edge on each of the two bottom photos, use the 12-Inch Trimmer and the Scallop Blade trim one short end of a 4" x 6" dark purple variety mat and cut to about 3/16 inches wide with the straight blade. Use the Scallop Blade to trim the edge of the same mat a second time and, again, cut to about 3/16 inches with the straight blade. Set aside the remainder of the variety mat to be used later. Use a Repositional Tape Runner to adhere strips to edge of the two bottom photos as shown.</li>
<li>Using a pair of sharp scissors, cut the Laser Cut Border shown into two 5 1/4" long pieces, carefully cutting around the design as shown. Use a Repositional Tape Runner to adhere to layout as shown. </li>
<li>To create a journal box, use a personal trimmer or 12-Inch Trimmer to cut a 3" x 4" journal box from a 4" x 6" variety mat. Adhere to left page as shown. </li>
<li>Using the 12-Inch Trimmer and the Deckle Blade, cut a 2 1/4" square from the remainder of the dark purple variety mat used in step 4. Add faux stitching with a black dual-tip pen if desired. The white square with the dotted trim shown was cut from a variety mat to 2 1/8" square. The square has a small heart in the center that you can leave as is if desired. I covered mine with one 1" and one 1 1/4" heart cut from variety mats using CM's retired heart punches. Mat your white square with a 2 1/4" square cut from purple cardstock. Adhere both squares to right page as shown. Adhere stickers shown, using foam squares where desired to add dimension.</li>
<li>To create the flags used on the left page, cut one sticker flag to 1 3/8 inches and adhere to page as shown. Use the Scallop Tag Punch to punch a tag from a 1" wide piece of scrap paper. Cut to 1" long and adhere to page as shown. Adhere stickers shown, using foam squares to add dimension where desired. </li>
<li>To finish, create a title with your choice of black ABC/123 stickers and adhere to page with stickers shown. Journal your story and you're done. </li>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Fall is my favorite time of the year and when my family decided to take a trip to a local apple orchard, I jumped at the chance to take pictures of our adventure. I think I came home with about 200 to 300 pictures. I've been challenging myself to edit down to no more than 50 pictures of one event (scrapbooking 200 pictures would take an entire 45 page album ...at least!) but I found it very difficult to choose only 50 of the pictures I took. I ended up with about 70 printed photos and I can't wait to get them into a scrapbook album. CM's Harvest Delight Collection is the perfect enhancement to my apple orchard photos. You'll find specific directions for today's project below as well as a sketch and a sketch guide with general directions for creating your own version of my layout. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's what you'll need to complete this layout:</div>
<div>
Creative Memories Harvest Delight Paper, Stickers and Variety Mat Pack</div>
<div>
Songbirds Border Punch</div>
<div>
Flag Punch</div>
<div>
Tearing Tool</div>
<div>
12-Inch Trimmer and straight blade</div>
<div>
Adhesives</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To create, follow the general instructions found with the Sketch Guide below. To save the Sketch Guide for your personal use, simply right click on the guide and choose "Save as."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For my layout, I punched the Songbirds Border and two flags from mats from the Harvest Delight Variety Mat Pack. My journal box, title box and the torn paper rectangle under the Songbirds border were also cut from mats from the variety mat pack. The flag under the title is a sticker. The leaves underneath my half flowers were cut from one sticker. Use foam squares under a few of your enhancements to create dimension, journal your story and your done.</div>

<ol>
<li>Trim three vertical & three horizontal 4x6 photos to 4x5 and three 4x6 photos to 4x4. </li>
<li>From cardstock cut two 5 1/4" by 12" pieces and one 3" x 4" rectangle to use as your journal box.</li>
<li>Using the wave blade, cut four 3/4" x 12" strips from light pink patterned paper and four 3/4" x 12" strips from dark pink pattern paper. Using your tape runner, adhere strips to the underside of cardstock so that the first layer shows about a quarter of an inch from the edge and the second layer shows another quarter of an inch from the edge of the first as shown. Adhere cardstock to pink gingham pages as shown. Adhere your 4 x 5 photos to cardstock as shown. </li>
<li>Using the wave blade, cut three 4 1/2" square photo mats from dark pink pattern paper and three 4 1/4" square photo mats from light pink pattern paper. Layer and adhere with 4" square photos as shown. Adhere photos to layout as shown. </li>
<li>To create a title box, use the wave blade to cut one 2" x 4 1/2" rectangle from dark pink pattern paper and one 1 3/8" x 3 5/8" rectangle from light pink pattern paper. Layer and adhere to page as shown and use a silver pen to create faux stitching as shown. Use foam squares to adhere embellishments shown. </li>
<li> To create a journal box, use the wave blade to cut one 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" rectangle from dark pink pattern paper and one 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" rectangle from light pink pattern paper. Layer and adhere to page as shown. </li>
<li>To finish, use the wave blade to cut small squares from scrapes to anchor your butterfly embellishments. Adhere to page and use foam squares to adhere butterflies as shown. Adhere bling and an epoxy dragon fly as shown and you're done. </li>

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I'm sharing the layout I created for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CreativeLifeScrapbooking/" target="_blank">Creative Life Scrapbooking </a>Explorer PJ Party. This is my take on the Explorer Collection.<br />

I've been waiting for an opportunity to create a layout using the
Majestic Mountains Decorative Border Punch. The punch and the retired
zig-zag border maker cartridge was just what I needed to enhance
tonight's layout. Add stickers from the Explorer Sticker Pack and that's
all that was needed to finish this quick and easy layout. By the way, I
overlapped the cut wood sticker at the bottom of the page then used
sharp scissors to trim it flush with the bottom of the page.<br />

Today I'm sharing my newest post from our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CreativeLifeScrapbooking/" target="_blank">Creative Life Scrapbooking Facebook Page. </a><br />
<br />
The past 4 to 5
weeks have been super busy for me. With birthdays to celebrate and
photograph, two baby showers, two weekends away with family, two
maternity photo shoots, and great-grandchildren to photograph I've had a
massive amount of digital images to process, edit, and prepare for
printing. When I'm not out taking pictures, I'm at my computer editing
pictures (my house is a <span class="text_exposed_show">mess & my
poor husband has been eating fast food for weeks). Add Easter to all of
this and I really needed to create something super quick and easy for
today's post. The new CM 12-inch Rotary Trimmer to the rescue!! </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I used CM's HAPPY BIRTHYAY collection for my layout and used the rotary
trimmer and the wave blade to create one 1 1/2 x 12 inch border strip,
two 1 x 12 inch border strips and one 3/4" border strip. To create the
borders, simply layer the border strips as shown, adhere the stickers
and embellishments shown and walla! Two easy, peasy scrapbook borders
for your page. I also used the wave blade to create the second layer for
my journaling box. I started late in the afternoon and finished my
layout in time to catch enough late afternoon light on my kitchen table
to photograph my layout.<br />

Today I'm sharing a new Featured Project Friday Post from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CreativeLifeScrapbooking/" target="_blank">Creative Life Scrapbooking Facebook Page.</a> I created
today's scrapbook layout with the Creative Memories new Simply Sunshine
Collection. I love the way the yellow printed paper enhances the photos I
took of my great-granddaughter and her dad at Disneyland. So who says
we need Disney inspired papers and embellishments to enhance photos
taken at Disney theme parks? Here's at least one example to prove that
we don't! <span class="_47e3 _5mfr" title="smile emoticon"></span><br />

<br />
Here's what you'll need to create today's scrapbook layout:<br />
<br />
Simply Sunshine Designer Paper Pack<br />
Simply Sunshine Variety Mat Pack<br />
Simply Sunshine Embellishments<br />
Simply Sunshine Designer Stickers<br />
Sticker Letters of your choice <br />
12-Inch Trimmer<br />
Tape Runner<br />
Precision Point Adhesive Pen<br />
Foam Squares<br />
Brown Dual Point Pen<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
<ul>
<li>
Use your 12-Trimmer to cut one sheet of yellow printed paper into one 3
1/4" x 12" piece and one 8 3/4" x 12" piece and one sheet of floral
printed paper into one 8 3/4" x 12" piece and two 1 5/8" x 12" strips.
From a second sheet of the same yellow printed paper cut one 1 1/2" x 8
1/4" title box, one 1 1/2" square and two 1/4" x 12" strips. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
Using white 12 x 12 pages as your base, adhere the pieces cut from the
first two sheets of decorative paper to your base as shown (the 8 3/4" x
12" yellow plaid and two 1 5/8" x 12" floral strips on the right page
and the remaining 8 3/4" x 12" floral piece and 3 1/4" x 12" yellow
plaid piece on the left page). </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Using a Precision Point Adhesive
Pen, adhere the 1/4" x 12" strips to the right page as shown with the
reverse yellow floral side up. Adhere one 4" square photo and two 4" x
6" photos to the right page as shown. Trim a journal mat from the
variety mat pack to 4" square and adhere to the right page as shown.
Adhere four 4" square photos to the left page as shown. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Use a
Brown Dual Point Pen to create faux stitching on the reverse yellow
floral side of the title box and 1 1/2" square. Adhere the 1 1/2" square
to the left page and the title box to the right page as shown. Add a
title, use your 4" square mat to journal and add stickers and
embellishments using your Adhesive Pen where needed and foam squares
for dimension. </li>
</ul>
<br />
By the way, I used the little heart stickers to
cover the little bird on this particular mat. I had originally journaled
on the reverse side of this mat and later noticed that I had failed to
complete an entire sentence. Bleh!! My mind works faster than my writing
hand does!!!<br />

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today is<a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/bordermakermonday?source=feed_text&epa=HASHTAG&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARAYhoIdOn62ZqXhwpmGnOJxvLNVnZeEaxDyEbswC99InLRtaRA7lljbuUvCr1Vo8V2cab1t8EcMdtr6c4ieVhe-5ba4KB0PRy_xxd9tCOeLJq5Fpx-rbv1rxe4AfUdIUmcUh4hYA68I-Me7lUwPu5zMRmo6CBcmIYXyVepc-nMUrDNZ4ecWZEa5U5ZIy0bnN_FLSMJVjPujbtPEznRAFjE2cfthP-8Stq9oKHJTue_-Tl3XzaeyMwzhZ8q2fwwFGbfLfnJBM8CHeO6CUe3c32-v1vfnvudrlHh8840w9kTzDopbKlMCirBktWE4ng8tisvlKd6YcPb0mj6cSJMcPWj9jA&__tn__=%2ANK-R" target="_blank"> #BorderMakerMonday</a> on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CreativeLifeScrapbooking/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1d7e94;">Creative Life Facebook Page</span></a> and I have a new scrapbook layout to share. If you're not following us on Facebook yet be sure to check us out. You'll find lots of ideas for your album pages. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: #1d2129; display: block; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px 0px 6px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Today I'm sharing a border maker project created with CM's new Blend & Bloom collection. For today's layout idea I choose papers from the Blend & Bloom Blue and Blend & Bloom Green Designer Paper Packs and used the Blend & Boom Designer Stickers, Embellishments, and Greenery Laser Cut Embellishments. I also used the retired Grass Border Maker Cartridge to creat<span class="text_exposed_show" face=""helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="display: inline;">e the border on the bottom of the page.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 6px;">
To create today's layout, use the Grass Border Maker Cartridge to punch a grass border from green patterned paper, then the 12-Inch Trimmer to trim the border to 2 x 12 inches. Using blue checked designer paper as your base, adhere the grass border to the bottom the page as shown and add a yellow checked sticker border. Use scissors to cut the Laser Cut Embellishment shown into two embellishments as shown below and adhere to the page with Precision Point Adhesive Pen. Use foam squares to adhere a title, butterflies and flowers from the Blend & Bloom Embellishments. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 6px 0px;">
To create the upper border simply cut a 5/8th x 12 inch strip from the blue pattern paper shown. Adhere to the page and add another yellow checked sticker border as shown. Use a tape runner to adhere a sun embellishment and foam squares to adhere a cloud. I also added a 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" photo mat, a <br />
4 1/4" square photo mat and a 1 3/4" x 4 1/4" journal box to my layout. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 6px 0px;">
There you have it. An easy peasy spring layout for those of you who can't wait for spring to arrive and for those of you who are already experiencing spring! </div>

Today I'm sharing the Super Duper Boy Fast2Fabulous album I just finished to showcase the photos I took at my great-grandson's 1st birthday party. Fast2Fabulous predesigned albums are great for getting a special event scrapbooked quickly and easily! Originally, I choose the 8x8 Super Duper Boy Fast2Fabulous album because my granddaughter and her husband used a dinosaur theme <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">for the party and the Super Duper Boy stickers included a cute dinosaur. Yay! I wasn't even paying any attention to the colors. But I was pleasantly surprised that the colors also coordinated with the birthday party colors. </span></div>

Here's what you'll need to create a Super Duper Boy Fast2Fabulous album similar to what you see in this post: </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 6px;">
8x8 Super Duper Boy Fast2Fabulous pre-designed album<br style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 0px;" /> 8x8 Super Duper Boy Tone-on-Tone Paper Pack <br style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 0px;" /> Super Duper Boy Sticker Pack <br style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 0px;" /> Navy or Black Sticker Letters<br style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 0px;" /> 12-Inch Straight Trimmer <br style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 0px;" /> Star Banner Chain Border Maker Cartridge<br style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 0px;" /> Zig Zag Border Maker Cartridge<br style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 0px;" /> Tape Runner<br style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 0px;" /> Precision Point Adhesive Pen<br style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 0px;" /> Foam Squares<br style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 0px;" /> Pinking Sheers or, if you have them, an old pair of Zig Zag decorative scrapbooking scissors (Mine are in a box that I kept for the grandchildren to use …. the great-grandchildren will be using them soon!). </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 6px;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 6px 0px;">
Here are a few tips for creating your own Fast2Fabulous Album:</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 6px 0px;">
<br style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 0px;" /> * Plan your album in advance. I usually stack the photos I will be using for each album on the right side of a 2 page layout then stack the album pages together. If I don't plan the entire album first I end up with either not enough pages for the photos I want to use or not enough photos for the album.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin: 6px 0px;">
* You'll notice that not all of the pages in this album have been journaled. In the interest of time, I left space for journaling later on some pages but other's were left un-journaled. Although I normally journal on all my album pages I don't always journal on every page when I'm creating an 8x8 one event album. A page or two of journaling that tells the whole story is all that's needed in a one event album like this one. </div>

Fall is my favorite season to photograph as well as my favorite season to scrapbook. I love the beautiful colors of fall and I love autumn inspired scrapbooking papers and enhancements. Creative Memories Gather Together Collection is no exception! As you can see, the Gather Together Collection is perfect for the photos my husband & I took while traveling through Colorado a few years ago … in the fall! <br />

To create this layout, you'll only need one sheet of double-sided designer paper and 2 sheets of cardstock or your choice of 12 x 12 pages. <br />

<strong>Instructions: </strong><br />
<ol>
<li>From one sheet of doubled-sided, printed paper and starting with the 1/2 " x 12" pieces, cut the following strips with the 12 Inch Straight Trimmer: two 1/2" x 12" strips, two 1" x 12" strips, two 1 1/2" x 12" strips and two 3" x 12" strips. </li>
<li>Use your thumb and forefinger (having a bit of a nail helps) to tear about 1/8" to 1/4" off the top edge of both of the 3" x 12" strips and both the top and bottom edges of the 1 1/2" x 12" strips. Optional: I used a copper pen and a ruler to draw lines on the edges of the 1" x 12" strip but gold would also work well with this color scheme. </li>
<li>Using grey cardstock as your base, adhere the 3" x 12" strips to the bottom edge; reverse the 1" x 12" strips and adhere to the top of the 3" x 12" strips as shown; adhere the 1 1/2" x 12" strips to the top of the pages as shown; reverse the 1/2" x 12" strips and adhere to the top of the 1 1/2" x 12" strips as shown. </li>
<li>Adhere one vertical 4 x 6" photo, three horizontal 4 x 6" photos and four 2" x 2" photos to the page as shown, overlapping two horizontal photos on the right page as shown. </li>
<li>Adhere stickers and enhancements as shown. Use the Black dual-tip pen to add a title and journal your story and walla! Your done! </li>
</ol>

I'm the last stop in today's blog hop following Lisa at <a href="http://lisasworkshop.blogspot.com/2017/04/spring-blog-hop.html" target="_blank">Lisa's Workshop</a>. You'll find a list of each of the stops at the end of today's post. Be sure to visit all of the stops on the list for some great ideas from the scrapbookers and crafters at Creative Life Scrapbookers. You might also want to follow our Facebook page at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CreativeLifeScrapbooking/" target="_blank">Creative Life Scrapbooking</a> for even more inspiration and ideas for your scrapbook layouts!<br />
<br />
It's been awhile since I've done anything digital and I've been looking forward to trying out Creative Memories new digital content. Even though I love working on my traditional scrapbook albums, I love the fact that all of my digital papers, embellishments, and tools can be stored right on my laptop!! I can take it anywhere to work on my digital books. On the other hand, my traditional stuff takes up an entire room! Anyway ..... I thought it would be fun to create a digital version of a traditional scrapbook layout I created for our<a href="https://www.facebook.com/CreativeLifeScrapbooking/" target="_blank"> Creative Life Scrapbooking Facebook Page</a> with Creative Memories' Cake My Day products a few weeks ago. <br />
<br />
Here is what I created and posted using the traditional <a href="https://www.creativememories.com/shop-all/collections/cake-my-day.html" target="_blank">Cake My Day</a> collection: <br />

As you can see, I used my digital tools to create an almost exact replica of my original traditional layout. The only difference is that I gave each of my embellishments a bit of a 3-D edge and matted my photos with white. </div>

So ..... have you seen Creative Memories' new 13x9 <a href="https://www.creativememories.com/shop-all/fast2fab/11x14-pocket-albums.html" target="_blank">Pocket Album</a> yet? I love pocket albums for quick and easy scrapbooking and the 13x9 is my all time favorite. All you need to complete an album in no time are your photos, a <a href="https://www.creativememories.com/shop-all/decorative/slide-in-packs.html" target="_blank">Slide-In Pack</a>, and a <a href="https://www.creativememories.com/shop-all/accessories/pens.html" target="_blank">Dual-Tip Pen</a>. If you're feeling a bit more creative you can add <a href="https://www.creativememories.com/shop-all/decorative/stickers.html" target="_blank">stickers and/or embellishments.</a> <br />
<br />
Here are a few layouts I created using my granddaughter's engagement photos, the 13x9 Pocket Pages, Natural Elegance Slide-In Pack, Natural Elegance Embellishments and Natural Elegance Stickers. I hope these layouts inspire you to create a Pocket Page Album for yourself or even as a gift for someone else. <br />

As you can see there is a 2 x 4 inch pocket included on each page to slip a journal or title card into. I used my personal trimmer to trim 4 x 6 slide-in cards into three 2" x 4" cards. You can then use them as is for journaling or enhance them with stickers and embellishments. It's just that easy! <br />

Before my dad passed away in 2010 his favorite Father's Day gifts from me were the photo albums I created for him. Sometimes I would create a digital scrapbook album and at other times I would use a small pocket page album. I don't think he really cared what type of album I created, what was most important to him were the pictures in the album. I think he would have liked the mini scrapbook album I've created for today's blog hop - filled with pictures of course!<br />

Here are the general instructions for creating my mini scrapbook album:</div>
<ol>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using the 12-Inch Trimmer cut twelve 4 1/2" x 7" rectangles from brown cardstock. </div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using the 2-Way Corner Rounder, round all 4 corners of each rectangle. </div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cut one 4 1/2" x 7" rectangle from a contrasting color to use as a template for your hole punch. Round the corners of your template and punch a hole in one corner. </div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Use your template to punch a hole in each rectangle. </div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To create cover, cut one 4 1/2" x 7" rectangle from wood look pattern paper. Round corners and use your template to punch a hole in the upper left corner. Adhere to one brown rectangle as shown.</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have a growing collection of my grandchildren's engagement photos that I absolutely love. Some will be framed and displayed in my home and the rest will go into an album. After seeing this collection it occurred to me that I should use it to create an album just for engagement photos. Today's layout will help get me started on that album. I love the way the Watercolor Love line complements my photos! Here's my layout for today and, as always, it comes with instructions.</span> <br />

So today I'm going to share 3 borders created with the Year to Remember collection. Then I'll also share some ideas for using borders with the calendar grid pages. <br />
