Spring Scrapbook Layouts

So often I hear my customers comment that they have no idea how to use double-sided printed papers with large designs. They hate the idea of covering the beautiful prints with photos. I also wanted to showcase a few of the great new tools that Creative Memories is now offering! So, today I would like to share with you some cute layouts that I created using one of the Creative Memories 12x12 Spring Additions paper packs and some of the fabulous Creative Memories tools. This particular paper pack comes with 4 sheets of 2-sided paper and 2 sets of stickers. This is a hot item that is currently being offered "while supplies last" at a 40% discount! You can visit my website to take advantage of this great sale!!

The following Creative Memories tools and products were used in my layouts:

Rotary Trimmer
Personal Trimmer
Large Wavy Square
Large Wavy Circle
Paper Edger
"New" Shape Maker
Border Maker System
Foam Squares
Tape Runner adhesive
Cricut Cartridge ("NEW" Tiny Treasures)


Now for the layouts.....

This 2 page layout will hold 1-4x6 photo and 2-3.5x4.75 photos. I love the idea of having a shape that can be shared on 2 pages. The layout flows so nicely from one page into the next! And banners are so popular right now! I just love them!! You can use so many different patterned papers together creating interesting textures and layers!
Here are a couple close ups of this layout:





This next layout uses the Border Maker System. The greatest feature of this system is that you can cut a 12" border with ease! The system comes with one cartridge and currently there are 5 additional cartridges that can be purchased separately. There are additional cartridges that are released in Limited quantities. Once the promo is over..they are gone! I also used the Large Wavy Circle and trimmed it down to layer over my banners. Love, love, love layers!!!

And finally, the last layout using the scraps from the first 2 layouts. I used the Tiny Treasures Cricut cartridge to cut the SPRING banner and the scalloped border.

   All these layouts were created with one Additions paper pack (4 double sided print papers, 2 sticker sheets, 8 photo mats) and a few sheets of co-ordinating card stock.
