Scroll to the right ➡️ for a look at some of the previous Secret Box artwork I’ve created with some of the first 3 Secret Boxes so far!

I must admit when I first joined Creative Memories, I wasn’t sure about the Secret Box thing 🤣 BUT I have to say, I haven’t been disappointed in a box yet!

I also suffer from FOMO on occasion 🤣

MONDAY we are dropping Box #4 so if you’re like me and gotta collect’em all…this is you’re heads up!

📚 School Years | A New Creative Workshop Kit!

I’ve been busy creating something special with Creative Memories’ School Years collection!

I’ve designed three double-page layouts…that’s six scrapbook pages…along with three exclusive coordinating Print & Cut sheets to make this beautiful collection work for school memories from preschool right through the older grades.

And because not everyone wants or needs a complete product bundle, I’ll be offering a few different ways to create with me!

✂️ Complete School Years Kit — $75 CAD

Includes the Creative Memories School Years Decorative Bundle, coordinating cardstock, my exclusive pre-cut embellishments and a full-colour instructional guide with cutting measurements and step-by-step assembly instructions.

I’ll also have guide-only and embellishment options available for those who already have their supplies.

I’m preparing a limited number of complete kits for my upcoming fall events, and I’m happy to reserve one for you!

Interested in a complete kit? Send me a message so I can include yours in my upcoming order. ❤️

My answer is a definite NO 😂

Let’s get organized!!!

My efficiency is completely reliant on how organized I am.

If you survived my recent video posted on getting ready for events and retreats 😂 you’ve seen how I tackle the overwhelming task of getting ‘homework’ done BEFORE I get to a retreat.

This video from Allison at Home Office, shows us how the tools you use to organize your stash is so important and useful.

The Sort and Stash model has been around a very long time with CM and maybe it’s a system that can work for you too. Having your embellishments in a visual and easily findable location is a start.

This system can also be a great addition to your toolbox for having those ‘grab and go’ items ready for your next creative project💛

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Preparing for events, my process and tackling a sketch 💛

Excuse my extremely tired looking face 😂 and hopefully get some strategies for preparing for scrapbooking events ahead of time!

Productivity often requires a ‘plan’ and these steps have helped me to focus in on how to be more productive and efficient with the time I spend at crops, weekend retreats and also longer retreats PLUS I’m helping myself not to scrapbook the same photos multiple times (have you done that?)

A little something new for our creative toolboxes! 🍂

Creative Memories has introduced seven new decorative die-cutting and embossing bundles, and there are some lovely designs to play with!

The new bundles include Autumn, Winter, Christmas, Spring, Summer, Hanukkah and General Celebrations.

I love how these tools give us another way to add texture, detail and dimension to our scrapbook pages. Sometimes it’s those little finishing touches that make a layout feel complete.

A little launch special: All seven bundles are 10% off through Friday, October 16 at 10 AM Pacific.

I’m especially drawn to the seasonal designs, and I’m already thinking about ways to incorporate them into future layouts and classes.

Have you had a chance to look at the new designs? I’d love to hear which ones catch your eye!

🐈‍⬛ A Little Midnight Magic with Fluffy! 🎃

There’s never a dull moment with this curious boy around!

Fluffy loves to keep me company while I’m working in the garden, and apparently an empty wheelbarrow is the perfect place to supervise my gardening adventures! 🤣

I couldn’t resist scrapbooking these photos of him investigating everything, including the fish in our pond!

I had so much fun playing with the new Midnight Magic collection from Creative Memories. The rich oranges, moody purples and whimsical Halloween details were perfect for capturing Fluffy’s mischievous personality.

Who says Halloween collections have to be just for Halloween? Sometimes they’re perfect for a curious cat and his everyday adventures! 🧡

Oh, how I love this boy! 💙

Shopping with Myles is always an adventure, and being his Grammie makes it even more fun!

Honestly, I could spend the entire day just playing with him, watching him explore and seeing the excitement in his little face. And yes, every once in a while, Grammie might just spoil him with a new toy! 😉

This big car carrier was one of those special finds, and months later, it’s still one of his favourite trucks to pull out when he comes to Grammie and Papa’s house.

It’s funny how the simplest little outings turn into some of the sweetest memories.

And that’s exactly why I scrapbook. 💙
