\"Rainbow
Layout by Noreen S. <\/mark>\u2013<\/em> Creative Memories Home Office<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Collection Used: This Life<\/a> or (Shop Canada<\/a> | Shop Australia<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noreen\u2019s Tip:<\/strong> \u201cI traced one edge of the wavy Titletopia template onto the orange paper and then cut out the wavy strip with Micro-Tip Scissors for a fun border. Then I used the same wavy edge to evenly space the Mini ABC\/123 Classy White Stickers before adding them along the edge of the paper strip.” <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loving the fun wavy borders and sticker title you see on Noreen’s layout? She used the Titletopia and Mini ABC\/123 Bundle<\/a>\u00a0or (Shop Canada<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Shop Australia<\/a>) to add these fun features to her page, AND it’s available to purchase right now in celebration of National Sticker Day! You’ll want to act fast to secure your bundle though \u2014 they’re only available while supplies last<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Valentine's
Layout by Nicole Z. \u2013<\/em> Creative Memories Home Office<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Collection Used: Sweet On You<\/a> or (Shop Canada<\/a> | Shop Australia<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicole\u2019s Tip:<\/strong> “Highly recommend using an XL Layered Frame Embellishment if you’re looking to create a page with a bit of pizazz! The frame takes all of the guesswork of where to cluster your stickers\/embellishments out of question \u2014 it comes ready to simply add a photo and adhere to the page!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collection Used: Adventure Parks<\/a> or (Shop Canada<\/a> | Shop Australia<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noreen\u2019s Tip:<\/strong> \u201cI used the White Classy Mini ABC\/123 Letter Stickers along the edges of this frame style layout to add extra captions and journaling. I also traced the inner swirl of the larger Titletopia template onto a circle to use for handwritten journaling too!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loving the fun swirly journaling and sticker titles you see on Noreen’s layout?

Collection Used: SNEAK PEEK<\/em><\/strong> (launching Jan. 15) Riveting Collection<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicole\u2019s Tip:<\/strong> \u201cWhen creating a two-page spread using papers with a diagonal pattern as the base, you can be intentional with the way you rotate the pages so that the diagonal lines match up \u2014 this helps give the feeling of a continuation of one pattern instead of two separate pages.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
