Star Double page layout CM

Double page layout, made with Creative memories products during this months local crop.
This idea was a simple one following some cutting instructions.
Of course I changed it up, but the design is suppose to have different size circles where I have put the stars.
The circles are mats for photos or journaling.
I choose to add the stars to the design element as I know I wouldn’t be adding photos to this one.

Thanks for your time, Happy Scrapping..

Tropical Vibes CM

 Creative Memories layout using one pattern paper to create an outside grid.

As you can see from the backside of the page, there are 1.5” strips that have been flipped over to make the design on the outside on three sides. Finished it off with a fun and bright sticker cluster.

CM tilted mat layout

 I loved putting this layout today during this months local Creative Memories crop. This layout is based on an idea to tip the photo mats on a slant. I used stickers up the top and bottom of the photo mat tilt to boarder it.

Every crop we are shown 3 new techniques or ideas and I am so incredibly grateful for the spark these create and allow me bases to grow on.

CM autum layout

 During the local Creative Memories crop, the coordinators share 3 technique or idea layouts with us, which are great to base designs on, and as you know, I love to expand with my own style.

This year they now give out a monthly challenge as well, it's been great to see so many of the crafters embrace this every month. This month it was to use Stickers, however we had to mat them and layer them. Of course, this was right up my design style (except for the fussy cutting this then creates.. lol)
I used up these super cute old Autumn / Fall themed stickers to feature on this layout. I have no idea where I came up with the uneven grid idea, it just kinda popped in my head and thought it would be fun to give it a go. It didn't quite turn out how I had imagined, instead it altered to something different and I'm actually really loving it!






This months local Creative Memories crop was a couple weeks ago. 
It is an event that I look forward to every month now and am so grateful to be able to surround myself with local crafters, all encouraging each other and sharing ideas.

Loving the Vibe layout

Loving the Vibe


The third and final layout to share from last weekends local crop is this super fun & bright layout.
The feature design element was to use the 2” strips on the background.
This can be great when using one pattern paper piece, bur still keeping the design in line while adding a different eye catching intrigue with it being spread out.
Of course, I topped it off with layers & clustered embellishments

Invisible punch feature

 Invisible punch feature layout


The next layout I HALF put together at the local crop last weekend was using this featured design - hidden punches.
This really fun idea is based around blending a punch into the pattern paper used on the side.
Of course, I did my own little twist and truly love it.
I have not finished it yet, as there is a chance this one will make it’s way into an album with photos on it at some point in the future

Love shades of Pink layout CM

Love shades of Pink layout


On the weekend I attended a local crop.
It was so lovely to be in the room with like minded lady, all encouraging & supporting each other. With everyone being a varying positions in their creative journeys, it was fun to share some tips & tricks and learn some myself too!
I threw this layout together as part of the crop challenge. Use 3 shades of one colour.
So obviously I choose Pink (with Red included) and just put together a basic & simple layout design that anyone no matter of experience level can follow along with.

CM crop layouts April 2026

 March saw me back at the local Creative Memories group crop here in Yeppoon.

I had limited time and supplies, but it was fun to get another two more layouts completed. 

The first is a recipe challenge layout. I actually did this one second after lunch and had only 60min to get it thrown together as I had to leave early for sporting commitment. 



I didn't get time to add the embellishments. And definitely making this just for fun, so no photos.. 





Parade

This second layout was so much fun to put together. 

It is based on an inspiration layout using the flag banner on the side as the focus. 

Of course you know that I added my own spin by layering several times, adding in embellishments






Unfortunately, due to Easter and school holidays, there won't be a crop during April, but I very much look forward to the May crop session.

focus on Borders CM crop layout

 Life hasn't been kind lately and the last few months especially I've realised just how broken and unrecognisable I have become to myself. 

So from the end of February I decided that getting back into some crafting is exactly what I need to get some creativity flowing and get the dopamine hit again.. lol 
(lately the accomplishments have come from decluttering and culling my house, but there is only so much of that I can do before there is nothing left.) 

So I finally joined a local cropping group right here in Yeppoon.
I've wanted to join this group for YEARS! However, since they meet up on a Saturday, I've always been at sports or working. This was my opportunity to connect with new people while reconnecting with scrapping. 


Tanya is a Creative Memories demonstrator. Although, there is no pressure within the group to only use CM products while attending the crop, I believe it's only the right thing to do to support the incredible host. 

I was able to put together 2 layouts during the crop, inbetween the food and the banter chats.

Summer layouts using CM

 During September I attended a local Creative Memories crop session. 
Although I don't have a huge range of Creative Memories products, I do choose to be very selective and only create with CM items when I'm at the crop out of respect (there are no rules in place for this and many people do use other brands, I just choose not to)


I made a few single layouts and even a swap card.
