Creative Memories 8x8 Albums for Summer 2016

These uber-giftable summery 8x8 Album Covers are only available one more week. After that, the only place you'll be able to get these colors is in 12x12's!

Orange

Sunshine

Spring Green

Teal

Ocean Blue

and Ebony

The Orange one would even make a cute album for this Fall...visits to the Pumpkin Patch or a record of your children's Halloween costumes. 

Scrapbook Pages sold separately and are available all year long. Just the 8x8 album covers are a limited edition item. 

The summery colors will also make a perfect mini album for you or your child to complete after a memorable vacation.  Just print 24-30 of your favorite vacation photos to put inside. Super special memories which will allow you to relieve your vacation over and over again.

And my personal favorite....fill with photos and send to the grandparents....they love printed photos and would appreciate a miniature album "brag book" if you will.

What are you using your 8x8's for??  Comment below or on my Facebook page: facebook.com/adashofscrapbooking

DIY Graduation Wreath

I took a beach themed wreath (from Target) and added some graduation themed die-cuts 

to create this festive welcome to my daughter's graduation party

This Creative Memories embellishments pack is called "Achievements" I believe it is available for a limited time only as one of the die-cuts specifically says "2016"

Here is a sample of what's included in the pack (over 80 shapes plus bling stickers):

To attach them to the wreath, I punched a small hole near the top of the die-cut and tied it to the wreath branches with some twine.  

Because they are tied on, I'll be able to easily remove them for use in her scrapbook or save them for some future card making projects.

As you can see, Creative Memories embellishments aren't just for scrapbooking!
