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.

Let me know what you think!

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.

Let me know what you think!

Summer Nautical layout

catching up on updating blog posts that were not shared from my facebook page.

This layout was made in OCTOBER 2024 as part of the DESIGN TEAM projects for the NAUTICAL DREAMS collection from Scrapbook Fantasies .

Summer

I'm so thankful that Alicia, Quentin and the Redshaw family saw the spark in me back in 2024 to get back into crafting. Unfortunately it fell flat pretty quickly afterwards, but I'm not back at it. April 2026.. I am trying to catch up on posting / uploading projects and working on plenty of new one's as well.

Wanting something a little less Nautical but still have a fun beach vibe?!

The Sandcastle picture cut was perfect for this!

Available in store now.

I started off with the weatherboard strip from #5

Then cut the anchor #4 pattern paper 11.5”x8”

Red glitter strip to layer between pattern papers and to back the picture cut.

The hessian pattern on #2 for the rest of the picture cut too.

Summer title cut

Colour words sheet 342434

Waxed thread, Gauze, Blue ink for title and Pinecone ink for edges.

Let me know what you think!

Classic non-Nautical layout

catching up on updating blog posts that were not shared from my facebook page.

This layout was made in OCTOBER 2024 as part of the DESIGN TEAM projects for the NAUTICAL DREAMS collection from Scrapbook Fantasies .

Classic Non-Nautical layout

I wanted something classical and non-themed.

This Nautical collection can be used for so much more than beach or sea layouts.

I loved working with the fussy cut flowers and again, used a Mushroom coloured cardstock to soften the base and then added Blue & White misting spraying.

This layout is all about keeping it basic with plenty of layering. Essentially, it can be done within a hour (with pre-cut fussy cutting). So it’s a quick layout that can hopefully inspire even the most time poor crafters.

I don’t have a name for it or photo yet.

I do believe it will fit a wide range of photos and add the title to match afterwards.

This time I wanted something non-nautical.

It’s fun being able to share with you an off themed layout like this with such a deep themed collection.

I started with a Mushroom cardstock base and sprayed Blue & White misting sprays on and drew around the edge to create a boarder with black pen for a fun background.

Using paper #2 I cut several 2.5“ pieces of paper into 4.5 / 4.5 / 4.5 / 3 / 6 / off cut

Then a few 3” pieces into 5 / 4 / 3

The blue & red were both 2.5” wide.

Red 3 / 3 - Blue 4.25 / 1.75

INK & BOARDER all pieces with black.

Plenty of black mats just .25” wider than the pattern paper.

There really is no rhyme or reason for the placements of the paper pieces, just still them down on a diagonal angle and then use foam tape to layer.

Cut off the excess that hangs over the edge and use those to layer some more!

The flowers are fussy cut from the Blue & Red paper #6

Photo mat to fit 5”x7”, however you can adjust it to fit your own needs and add a title to finish it off!
