Living The Creative Scrapbooking Life

You heard me right. I usually think in song lyrics. Someone will say a word and song lyrics pop into my head. Creative Memories shares these new items with me and I instantly think of Tatu's All The Things She Said . I just had to share this EXCLUSIVE preview of what is coming at 1 PM ET today on my website:   SusanCM's Creative Memories Site    There is the Tool Time Buffet punches with a FREE Exclusive gift, as well as, our Vivid Melodies Collections.  If you love all four collections (and I know you will), you can get the Decorative Bundle that will give you the freedom to just sit down and create. Here is a short video on the Collection for your viewing pleasure. https://youtu.be/MbbdyTluozc

What a Fantastic Crop yesterday!! We had those connected by Zoom, Facebook Live and in person. Here is the layout I taught using the 12" trimmer and the Deckle blade.  Papers were from last quarter's Secret box and Goldenrod cardstock for the photo mats. You don't ever want to miss out on those :)  You can find these products on my website here: Creative Memories Website
