<br />
I have been working on some pages from my son's baby album, in no particular order, but want to start assembling it. So I decided I would do my cover page before anything else.<br />

I popped up the squirrel sticker with some foam tape and added a little bling to the heart with a CTMH Bitty Sparkle. And yes, I am really far behind with my some of my albums! I thought that I had already finished a baby album but then my son mentioned it and when I checked my albums I didn't have one for him just his sister. </div>

My daughter got engaged this summer and was wanting to make Bridesmaid boxes. These glasses were really fun to make and inspired me to try something new with my diecutting machine.<br />
<br />
I love that I can design in Silhouette Studio Business Edition and save as an SVG file. I find that when you are working with fonts that Studio is much easier to work with than Cricut Design Space. I wasn't sure about how well the <a href="http://shrsl.com/16fd1" target="_blank">foil</a> would cut with the Silhouette Portrait though, so I uploaded the finished file to <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=604304&u=1074076&m=51766&urllink=&afftrack=" target="_blank">Cricut Design Space </a>and cut on a <a href="http://shrsl.com/16fcp" target="_blank">12x12 mat</a> with my <a href="http://shrsl.com/16fci" target="_blank">Cricut Explore</a>.<br />

The <a href="http://shrsl.com/16fd1" target="_blank">Cricut Metallic Adhesive Foil</a> can be tricky to work with. It does not like to stick to the transfer paper. I had to gently pull off the backing and push the letters onto the transfer paper to get it stuck down. The back of the <a href="http://shrsl.com/16fd1" target="_blank">foil</a> is really sticky, so you need to know exactly where you want it before letting it touch the surface or it may rip if you try and move it.</div>

I had watched a few videos before cutting it. I was much easier to get it around the glass with the slits cut into the paper. And the wings on the sides gave me something to hold onto without touching the sticky backing on the letters.</div>

Not quite finished here - we had ordered photo boxes from Amazon and cut out each person's name with the <a href="http://shrsl.com/16fd1" target="_blank">Rose Gold Foil </a>and attached to the box lid. My daughter wanted to make sure the boxes would be deep enough before adding in more tissue paper and gift items. I didn't get to see them when she was done but she said they turned out great and everybody loved them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had lots of foil left over and I'm looking forward to making more items for her wedding. </div>

I finally got to try out my new <a href="https://www.creativememories.ca/user/nancyhelmer" target="_blank">Creative Memories</a> Sunburst Recipe Template this weekend. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

I really like how this turned out even though I am not very good at freehand cutting when my hands are sore. Usually, I would try to cut something like this with my Cricut instead. </div>

The patterned cardstock is from an Amy Tangerine paper pad that I got at Michael's a few years ago.</div>

I am loving the soft colours in this collection. This collection includes new albums, Fast2Fab sets, paper, stickers and mat packs. Digital files are also available for use in your favourite digital scrapbooking or die-cutting software.<br />
<br />
There are also some new tools included in this launch. There is a new 4-way Hearts and Stars Corner and Hole punch along with a Double Heart Punch and a new Double Wave Tearing Tool. If you missed out last fall the Rolling Tote is now back in stock.<br />
<br />

I had finished this album over a year ago but then came across a few more prints a couple of weeks ago. Easy enough to add them into my album, that's what I like best about using side-loading pages. <br />
<br />
I'm still working on bashing my stash and was able to find two different lines that went nicely together. I really like the bright colours in the Bella Blvd Molly Collection with the CTMH Taste of Summer papers. Great for children's pictures.<br />
<br />
I found these rollerblade stickers in my stash and started pulling paper and embellishments that matched. I'm pretty sure that I've had these stickers since the early 2000's.<br />

Fight! Win! Project RecipeI use a lot of sketches when scrapbooking and love that Creative Memories creates a Project Recipe to go with each new paper collection.<br />
<br />
For this layout, I took the Go! Fight! Win! Project Recipe but used the Adventure Collection to scrap my camping pictures.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SxEmx5nhjII/WoN_HimqCKI/AAAAAAAAIF0/VWEruZ4ENxcvbfC5jrD2bOXOmFg_Ms4dwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1707.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="823" data-original-width="1600" height="328" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SxEmx5nhjII/WoN_HimqCKI/AAAAAAAAIF0/VWEruZ4ENxcvbfC5jrD2bOXOmFg_Ms4dwCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_1707.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Project Recipe used the Border Maker System but since I don't have many cartridges yet I decided to create my own in Design Space using the campfire image from the CTMH <a href="http://shrsl.com/1sphr" target="_blank">Artistry Cricut</a> Cartridge.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Always have to have a bit of sparkle on my pages so I cut a strip of CTMH Bronze Shimmer trim in half lengthwise and used it as a border along the CM patterned paper.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My title is from <a href="https://www.misskatecuttables.com/" target="_blank">Miss Kate Cuttables</a>, cut mostly from Recollections cardstock. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was pretty easy to find colours that coordinated well with the CM Adventure patterned papers. </div>

I'm finishing up my holiday preparations and quickly put together a couple of the Christmas Tag Gift Card Holders by <a href="https://www.printablecuttablecreatables.com/" target="_blank">Printable Cuttable Creatables</a>.<br />

I imported the file into <a href="http://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=604304&u=1074076&m=51766&urllink=&afftrack=" target="_blank">Cricut Design Space</a> and resized it to make a large tag. I have a couple of certificates that aren't standard gift card size. The finished tag is approximately 6" tall by 3" wide. I added the rectangle so I would have a piece to stamp on since the Recollections patterned paper is very busy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Since I am still working on bashing my stash, I used an old stamp from SU All Year Cheer II and some stickers that I have had since the early 2000's. I also used up some old embossing powder that I've had for at least 15 years, not my favourite as far a quality goes but the colour was right for this project. The ribbon is SU Whisper White.<br />
<br />
These will hang from the tree until my kids get here to open gifts on Christmas Day.<br />
<br />
I might even make a couple more in a standard gift card size if I have time - they are perfect for gift card giving year round.<br />

<br />
For this set of pages, I wanted to highlight the heritage features of the buildings so I kept my layouts simple by matting my photos on black cardstock and using the same woodgrain chevron pattern cardstock on all three. My only embellishment is a strip of Shimmer Trim that I cut in half lengthwise and used as a border along the edge of the cardstock.<br />
<br />

I found a map online and printed it out and added to one of the layouts. So glad that everything is online to reference since these photos are from 2002 and I couldn't remember the names of all the buildings. </div>

These layouts were so easy to put together - unlike the rest of my album where I used sketches, for these layouts I was inspired by the Power Layouts method. I laid my pictures out on each sheet of cardstock and set aside. When it came time to adhere I just quickly matted all the pictures at once, cut the two sheets of wood grain cardstock and the embellishment strips, adhered everything, journaled and just like that I was done. </div>

So fast and easy! I love decorative scrapbooking but I have quite a few albums to do so I am trying to keep it as simple as possible. After I do the last three layouts from this trip I will have completed three albums this year. The first album took the longest (started a couple years ago) because it is all decorative layouts. The last two are fairly decorative but I planned differently and they went a little quicker - better use of my time and supplies. I will be ordering one (or two) of the re-released Power Layout kits from Creative Memories and pre-sorting my layouts so the box is ready to grab and go when I find I have an extra few minutes. I will still do some decorative layouts - I'll just add a post-it note to the guide to reference which sketch I want to use for that page. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you aren't familiar with this sorting method check out this YouTube video - it's from 2010 but</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
explains very well how this method works. </div>

I wish this method had been around back when I first started using CM products in the mid-90's. I probably would have completed more albums. I really like that you know what will be on the back of the right-hand page. I love the quality of the CM pages with the jeeping but was always concerned that I would mess up and put the wrong pictures on the back. By using the guide to represent the back of a page I can rearrange and have everything exactly as I want it before adhering. </div>

This card was fun to make - it was my first time using <a href="http://shrsl.com/jgke" target="_blank">Texture Paste</a> with one of my Tim Holtz stencils. My hubby is a car guy and I'm always looking for craft supplies that I can use on his birthday cards or scrapbook pages. This <a href="http://shrsl.com/jgkj" target="_blank">Tim Holtz Treads</a> stencil is perfect!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with a light gray cardstock and tinted the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jgke" target="_blank">Ranger Texture Paste</a> with <a href="http://shrsl.com/jgkc" target="_blank">Hickory Smoke Distress Ink</a>. I laid the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jgkj" target="_blank">stencil</a> on a diagonal across my cardstock then filled it in with <a href="http://shrsl.com/jgke" target="_blank">Texture Paste</a>. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once it was dry, I started distressing the cardstock with more <a href="http://shrsl.com/jgkc" target="_blank">Hickory Smoke Distress Ink</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went over it a few times so I could get a lot of colour in between the tire treads. </div>

I blended the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jgkc" target="_blank">Hickory Smoke Distress Ink</a> all around the edges of the cardstock. Then I added a bit of <a href="http://shrsl.com/jgkp" target="_blank">Stormy Sky Distress Ink</a> - the ink pad was really wet compared the rest that I bought (leaked in packaging), and it went on heavy so I blended it out as best as I could.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm not sure when I bought this scrapbook paper but the tear off strip has 1997© on it. Since my goal is to use up as much of my stash this year as possible I decided to use it for this layout of our front door renovation.<br />

Working my way through my pictures from 2002 and bashing as much of my paper stash as possible. I've been going to the paper holder with my old Recollections and Stampin Up papers before looking at anything newer. The Razzleberry Lemonade DSP has always been one of my favourite SU products. I love the vibrant colours.<br />

I love the Sketches by Scrapbook Generation. I found myself constantly pinning their layouts so I decided to buy a few of their e-books earlier this year and I find I am using them a lot.<br />
<br />
I'm working on older albums and my pictures are all printed in 4x6 format. I've been scanning the pictures with my <a href="https://www.photomyne.com/" target="_blank">Photomyne </a>app before scrapping so I have a digital copy in addition to the original negatives.<br />
<br />
I bought a couple of the 4x6 SG Sketch Books and recently added the 6x6 Paper Pad Class to my collection. I have a bunch of 6x6 samplers left over from when I was with CTMH and I figured the layouts would probably work with almost any paper that I have in my stash too.<br />

This layout uses one of the 6x6 paper pad sketches. I used up some of my 8-1/2 x 11 cardstock from Michaels (comes in those multi packs that always go on sale each month). <br />
<br />
My journaling circle was inspired by some layouts that I saw on YouTube by <a href="https://youtu.be/yuMnRLRHaSU" target="_blank">ohMamarazzi </a>Scrapbooking. I cut the circle and the mat on my <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=923343&U=1074076&M=51766&urllink=" target="_blank">Cricut</a>.<br />
<br />
The Holly was cut using the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1sphr" target="_blank">CTMH Artistry Cricut cartridge</a> - I backed it in white and brushed over it with my CTMH Clear Shimmer Brush for some sparkle - to go with the white accent on the Holly on the cardstock.<br />
The titles were cut with my Cricut using the <a href="https://fontbundles.net/etewut/4933-augenblick/rel=PT3SeD" target="_blank">Augenblick</a> font. <br />
<br />
I embellished with some CTMH White Shimmer Trim, Whisper Twine and Black Sparkle Flourishes.<br />
I'm trying to use up as much of my stash as possible before buying anything new. It's fun rediscovering things that I've bought over the past few years.

Another layout using up product from my paper stash. My goal this year is to keep up a steady pace so I can get my older albums completed and use up as much paper and embellishments that I already own instead of purchasing more. <br />
<br />
It's been easier than I thought and with my husband being on strike the past couple weeks I have been able to complete a bunch of layouts without spending a dime.<br />
<br />
I love using my <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=923343&U=1074076&M=51766&urllink=" target="_blank">Cricut </a>to create custom titles and embellishments instead of having to buy stickers for each layout.<br />
<br />
<br />
Today's layout is inspired by a sketch that I found on Pinterest by <a href="http://blog.basicgrey.com/?p=5390" target="_blank">Basic Grey.</a> I placed an extra photo on top of another before taking the picture of the layout. Once I slide the layout into a page protector I will be adding a 4x6 Flip Flap to it with the photo on the bottom left in it. <br />

I love working with sketches and after making the switch to Creative Memories, I was really happy to see that they provide Project Recipes with the release of each new paper pack.<br />
<br />
For today's layout, I used the Creative Memories Mi Amor Project Recipe with supplies from my stash. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TK8K70A3e5U/WXfe7fwYFZI/AAAAAAAAH3c/NDcY8YqQro0inCPvR1AdMJa30k-ba6XvQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0549.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="801" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TK8K70A3e5U/WXfe7fwYFZI/AAAAAAAAH3c/NDcY8YqQro0inCPvR1AdMJa30k-ba6XvQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0549.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I love how easy it was to pull everything together with this Recipe. I was able to use my <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=923343&U=1074076&M=51766&urllink=" target="_blank">Cricut</a>, my CM Border Maker System, and some CTMH Thin Cuts and they all went so well together. <br />

With my order last month I purchased the Paw Print Border Maker Cartridge. I had wanted this before I had even bought the Border Maker System and couldn't wait for it to arrive. I have so many pet layouts to do and I know that this will probably be the cartridge that I use the most. </div>

I grabbed my CM Fur Buddies Paper Pack and chose a few papers to go along with the Cat patterned background following the Fur Buddies Project Recipe. If you haven't tried a Project Recipe yet ask your CM Advisor for more information. New Recipes are released with each new paper collection and feature cutting guides and instructions to help you quickly put your layouts together. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my finished layout - I followed the Project Recipe to create the page then decided to re-arrange my photos in a different pattern than in the recipe. I matted them on solid yellow and gray cardstock and decided to put the White Patterned paper away and use it on another pet layout. Since I've been bashing my stash this year I'm trying to use up as much of my old cardstock as I can before digging into my new stuff. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I submitted this layout in the CM Canada Advisors FB Group for a challenge and I was so excited to learn that I had won! CM is sending me the new Adventure Collection! I have camping pictures printed and will be doing layouts as soon as it arrives! </div>

I love using sketches when I scrapbook but don't usually use the built-in templates in My Memories Suite software. I only had 4 pictures to add to this layout so I decided to see what kind of templates were in the software. I knew that I wanted to use a background paper this time instead of my usual white with the large pictures that go almost to the edge of the page. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found this template with 4 photos and was able to quickly add in my pictures, background, embellishments, and text. It was so much faster to just drag and drop without having to resize all the photo boxes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I still love the freedom of creating my own designs from scratch but will definitely be using this feature again since I have so many layouts I need to do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll be adding some tutorials to the blog in the near future using My Memories Suite software. Be sure to follow me on Google+ or follow my blog to receive updates if you would like to learn more. Links to follow me are in the right-hand column. </div>

<br />
I love using larger photos on my layouts when digital scrapbooking and it is so easy to use the digital paper as a background in the title and journaling boxes - just drag and drop and you can zoom in closer for more detail or adjust the opacity and make your journaling stand out. <br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All the background papers and embellishments are from the CM Gallivant Digital Kit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is such a great kit for scrapping road trips - I love the embellishments and as I was putting in the junkyard photos I noticed the outline of a VW Bug so I just had to use the matching embellishment from the kit. My husband is a car enthusiast so there are always pictures of old cars mixed in with our travel photos. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The pages are really easy to put together using My Memories Suite software - I don't use templates when making pages like this. I just add a bunch of photo boxes and resize them until I have all the pictures the way I want them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The second layout on this page is a duplicate of one of the camping pages that I made last month. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had already saved a copy to print onto my computer but had left the original album saved in the software. I just continued working in the same album and duplicated the older page and then replaced with the new photos and graphics. Even though the format is the same they look completely different. </div>
