The Sunburst Effect

Let the Sunshine on your pages! 
Here is an easy way to use your scraps in a sunray effect. 
 
 
 
 
 
Do you have a ton of border stickers you don't know what to do with.  Use them behind your featured picture to create the same sunray effect. 

Staple Styles

One of my favorite new tools is a mini stapler.  I love the little extra touch it gives my ribbons and tabs on my pages.  This is "MUST HAVE" tool. 
 
 
Shooting star effect...

Back to Nature


I was so excited when my daughter went to Wolf Ridge this last winter with her 6th grade class.  Not only was I excited for her, since this is known from past 6th graders as the highlight of her school years, I was also extremely excited for the Scrapper in me.  This is the perfect subject to finally use all my "Rustic" paper on.  As a mother of three girls the rustic look isn't a standard.  I embellished the pages with wooden buttons, twine, punched out flowers with chalk edges, and washi tape.  This layout has become one of my favorite layouts I have done, EVER!

Candy Shop Creations

If you LOVE bright colors and fun textures on your pages than Creative Memories "Candy Shop" Palette is created just for you.   I purchased the whole power palette on my last retreat and found myself using every single piece.  Below are just a few.  I have to admit my favorite pieces to the palette are the embossed pages, a little hard to see in my pages, but in person they really make the pages "POP" with style.
