Challenge #1<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
Layout by Noreen S.<\/strong> \u2014 Creative Memories Home Office<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Collection Used: Fair Life \u2014<\/em><\/strong> SNEAK PEEK!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noreen’s Tip:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThis was a super-simple layout to put together, as the pre-designed Fair Life Fast2Fab-Inspired paper already had a border along the left edge. I trimmed down three mats from the coordinating Artsy Add-On Kit, then fussy cut and colored one for an additional embellishment. And after choosing one of the six titles included in the Artsy Add-On Kit, putting it together was as easy as 1, 2, 3!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Challenge #2<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
Layout by Noreen S.<\/strong> \u2014 Creative Memories Home Office<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Collection Used: <\/a><\/mark>Noteworthy Days<\/a> (Shop Canada<\/a> | Shop Australia<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noreen’s Tip:<\/strong> \u201cThe Noteworthy collection strikes again, this time as a soft spring-themed page! This layout is perfect to use up some of the many scraps I had from this collection and I added \u00bc<\/em>“ mats to my photo spots to give just a touch of contrast to the light colored paper I used for the 10″ x 8″ piece. To make the \u2018Spring\u2019 clear title sticker stand out, I adhered it to a scrap of Bright White Solid Cardstock and fussy cut around the edges before adding it to my layout with Foam Squares.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Challenge #3<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
Layout by Noreen S.<\/strong> \u2014 Creative Memories Home Office<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Collection Used:\u00a0On the Mend<\/a> (Shop Canada<\/a>) (Shop Australia<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noreen’s Tip: <\/strong>\u201cI love cutting up the cards with the fun designs in the mat packs. Here I used one \u00bd size card for the title and fussy cut the clipboard from another. Make sure to check the patterns on the opposite side of the papers you use for this layout \u2014 you\u2019ll definitely have enough for your 1<\/em>“ x 12″ strips. And I recommend using cardstock for your mats as you\u2019ll need more than one 12″ x 12″ piece.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge #4<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n

Layout by Noreen S.<\/strong> \u2014 Creative Memories Home Office<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Collection Used: Springtime Soiree<\/a> (Shop Canada<\/a> | Shop Australia<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noreen’s Tip:<\/strong> \u201cAlthough I\u2019m not much of a pastel girly, the gorgeous colors and patterns of Springtime Soiree have me swooning! Once again, I fussy cut one of the mat cards and added the sweet sticker embellishments to create a custom title. To cut the banner, mark the center of the 4<\/em>“ edge about 1″ up, then cut on a diagonal from the outside corners up to the mark. Repeat on the opposite end of the banner.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
