Hello everyone! I am very honored to be featured today on the Making Memories blog. This is my very first guest designer opportunity and I am very excited! Today I created this layout of my youngest son. I thought the Sarah Jane - Children At Play Collection would be perfect for a young boy or tween.
Here are the instructions:
Ink and distress edges of kraft cardstock.
Cut four squares of patterned paper 3 inches long by 3 inches wide. Ink edges. I used Tim Holtz “Rusty Hinge” Distress Ink
Place patterned paper squares as shown on layout and adhere to kraft cardstock.
Cut lilac colored paper to 3 ½ inches wide by 5 ½ inches long and ink edges with Tim Holtz “Milled Lavender” Distress Ink. Adhere 3X5 photo onto photo mat. Place photo and photo mat on layout using dimensional squares.
Cut three border stickers, layer and apply under photo as shown.
Apply Ranger Glossy Accents to all the diecuts, the striped area of tag, and orange letter stickers except for journal sticker and frame diecut. Let dry.
Place tags, sticker and diecuts as shown on layout and adhere. The rocket diecuts, striped tag, one number “6”, journaling sticker and bicycle diecut are all adhered with 3D dimensional squares. The stars, frame diecut and “6” on journaling sticker are simply adhered to the cardstock.
Attach small piece of orange ric rac to tag, tie and trim edges neatly.
Write journaling on journal sticker and orange sticker.
Apply mini stickers (things about you) and (you) inside of frame diecut.
I hope you liked this layout that I created. Please check out my blog at http://lee-annelovethejourney.blogspot.com/ for more scrappy goodness.
Have a wonderful day!
Hi there! My name is Stephanie Johnson & I'm so happy to be a guest here at Making Memories! My main paper crafting love is card making so I made a card to share using one my favorite collection kits that I've been hoarding for quite some time!
For this card, I wanted to incorporate a paper pieced star burst design- I love this trend! I'm sure there's many ways to make star burst designs, but here's how I made mine:
Wedding Bliss
The first thing I thought of when I saw the new Modern Millinery line was summer weddings. The Statement Floral double-sided paper is my favorite as I think you'll notice as you go through the three pages I created. It is bold, but soft & beautiful all at the same time. The dress mannequin die-cut was perfect for my wedding detail page.
15 Months
I chose a black & white photo for this page as I wanted it to stand out against all the wonderful patterns & colors of the Modern Millinery line. The Word Fetti quote sticker that reads "these eyes that will someday break hearts have captured ours forever" was perfect for this photo! They must have known I would need that. LOL!
Rustic Beauty
I wanted to stetch this line a bit and show that it can absolutely be used wiht something contrasting; like an old barn! This line is vintage and beaustiful, yet modern and classic.
Thank you for allowing me to share my creations with you!

Hi Everyone – Lowri McNabb from PaperVine here and I am thrilled to be sharing these projects on the Making Memories blog today.
We all have scraps of paper and embellishments left over from our Christmas projects, so I thought I would use some of the fabulous red and cream colored leftovers I had from the Twinkle Collection to create a couple of simple Valentines Favors.
I made these candy holders using some of the Words paper and then added some plain red organza ribbon along with the gorgeous spotted red and cream ribbon from the Trims and Brads embellishment pack.
One of the flowers from the Twinkle Baubles embellishment pack completes the simple but elegant decoration. These would be great as a little gift for a teacher, filled with some lovely pink candy hearts.
These flowers are a great way to decorate gifts and packages too. I used a rosette die to create the flower and one of the Twinkle Baubles in the centre. The over-size rhinestones in this pack are fabulous!
Instead of packing away all the other Christmas leftovers, I decided to get the jump on next year and create a quick December Daily album.
Using all the scraps of paper, stickers, journal pages and embellishments I was quickly able to put together this book. I used plain white cardstock as the base and punched holes in each page so I could use book rings for binding, therefore make it easy to add to next year.
I often find myself with tiny stickers left over on a sheet – and they are perfect for adding splashes of color to white-based pages. These stickers are so much fun and the baubles add some great dimension to the cover.
I used the left over pages from the journaling book as inserts into the album. They will be great for writing all my Christmas lists next year!
The wonderful combination of fresh red and green colors in this collection makes for a really clean look on the white background - perfect for the Summer Christmas time here in New Zealand.
I hope this has given you a few ideas on how you can use up those Christmas bits and pieces you have left over. I would love for you to follow my blog at PaperVine or just drop in and say Hi :-)
How about trying this little twist when using Making Memories' Slice cordless digital design cutter. Keisha has created a gorgeous project using the "negative space" after cutting a shape from the Paper Reverie design card.
Home decor project: mat the negative cut leaf, place paper reverie pattern paper behind it. Also add a word cut-out and some gold sequins!
There possibilities are endless, explore your creativity using both the cut shape and negative space from the shape!
The base of my layout is Making Memories Dilly Dally line. I love it! I started off with using Donna Salazar's Diztrezz-It-All tool & made the rosette with Tim Holtz's die. Using my heat gun on the tulle flower helped it shrink down bit. I used UTEE on the chipboard heart with patterned paper & did two layers. (I forgot how much I love to emboss!)
Tip 1: I only used half of the bracket paper and will save the rest for a card or another layout. Tip 2: Coloring the tile stickers with ink, before they were a light pear color but I wanted to use them because they were the perfect size. It's all about the punches!
I used a bracket punch on the two layers beneath the ribbon. I'm quickly becoming an edge punch hoarder! Is there such a thing?! Lastly, I love to add a touch of vintage here or there. {the 'gift' card} **my photo is 4x4 from PostalPix. If you haven't ordered prints before, be sure to try! They work perfect for all those Instagram photos we take!
PS - I do love my Whirley-Pop! Before we had an air popper & it kept burning the popcorn! My husband went online & found me this gem. The popcorn tastes so much better too!

Hi, my name is AnnaMarie Mondro, and I am so honored to be featured as a Guest Designer on the Making Memories blog!
Christmas is truly my *favorite* holiday, so when I was asked to showcase a layout featuring the new Twinkle line, I was in LOVE and knew exactly what photos I was going to use! I’ve been saving these photos for awhile now, waiting on the perfect line and feel of colors. These photos of my son’s first Christmas were just perfect for the range of beautiful reds and greens offered within this festive line. And one of the things I love most about Making Memories products are the double-sided papers which offer such a range in gorgeous patterns and colors, and for a scrapper like me, who loves to play with layers and bits and pieces of patterned paper, it is a perfect combination!
Another thing that I love about Making Memories is the choice of embellishments that color-coordinate so nicely with the papers, and which offer such nice options in terms of texture, dimensionality, and details. Not to mention the bling factor – oh MY! And yes, even though it is a *boy* layout, I still love to add some bling and shimmer to my pages. J Between the sparkly baubles and glittery buttons, shimmer die-cuts, and bling alpha, there are so many options for really enhancing the beautiful colors in this line and making my page POP!
And cannot forget to point out the *awesome* glitter boarder tape! The tape is so versatile, allowing you to trim it to a variety of desired sizes, or you can simply trim out the “pieces” you want for your layout!
Thank you Making Memories for allowing me this opportunity!
Today we are excited to have Michelle La Grue as Making Memories’ guest designer. Michelle created TWO holiday projects that you will love. Both of these project use Making Memories' new Twinkle collection.
These Christmas Lanterns were created using 3oz Dixie cups!
This star garland will take pride of place on my door this year. I cut a circle template using a cardboard box that some scrapbooking papers arrived in, and I used some batting (padding) to wrap around the cardboard to provide a nice base for the garland. The circle was then wrapped in red satin ribbon, to give it a bit of a luxurious texture and look.
I used my star shaped Nestabilities to cut 4 different size stars. Each star was scored lightly from tip to base and then folded into the 3D star shape. I adhered them to the circle garland with my glue gun and topped some of them with some lovely festive red matt gems. A bow was all that was needed to finish the project.
