Fall Blog Hop!

Hello & Welcome to the Creative Life Scrapbooking Fall 2019 Blog Hop!

If you’re hopping in order, you came from Diana's Blog.  At the end of my post I’ll send you on your way to Noreen’s blog. Be sure to visit each stop – there are lots of wonderful ideas being shared!  (More info, including the complete list of Blog Hop stops, is at the bottom of this post.)

Fall is the perfect time of year to count your blessings and when I do, I include you!

Thank you for helping me do what I love! I'm thankful to be able to help others preserve their memories and share inspiration & favorite products. A big "Thank you" goes out to Creative Memories for making not only wonderful products but also making it super easy to be an Advisor. When I joined CM (almost 19 years ago!) I did it for the discount and exclusive products. So very happy to say that since then, I've enjoyed immeasurable benefits and never, ever thought I'd be so blessed to earn money while doing something I love so much! Today I'm sharing a layout using a CM tool that is not available for purchase - something I usually don't do. The tool is only available to current CM Advisors and those that join CM before the end of 2019. I'm hoping that if you love CM products you'll entertain the idea of becoming an Advisor. There are so many people "out there" that don't know that CM is back - and that they are better than ever! If you have any questions about joining CM, please contact your CM Advisor. If you don't have an Advisor - I'm happy to help & would welcome you to join our team! Click here for more info about becoming a CM Advisor. Today I'm sharing a layout featuring the ThankFULL Theme kit by CM.

ThankFULL for YOU! Thanks for helping me do what I love!

The ThankFULL Theme Kit by Creative Memories comes with 4 sheets of patterned paper, 2 sheets of stickers and 1 sheet of Ivory Cardstock.

That wishbone paper <3

Cut 2 circles using the Ornate Arches Circle Punch from the Cream Cardstock in the ThankFULL Kit

Layer the 2 circles on top of each other, ofsetting so the scalloped edges alternate.

Use the 12" Rotary Trimmer and the Scoring Blade to make even marks for your pie slice(s).

You can easily cut this with the 12" Rotary Trimmer from CM!

Pumpkin Pie! You could use the whole pie, one slice or many - it's up to you!

This gift is yours when you become a CM Advisor. I'd love to have you join my team!

To make the slice of pumpkin pie I used the Ornate Arches Circle Punch and the Custom Cutting System with the Circle Patterns. The Arches Punch is part of the current bundle new Advisors get when they join CM. (Click here to see the whole bundle and learn how easy it is to join CM!) I punched 2 of the Ornate Arch Circles and stacked one on top of the other, rotating them slightly so they don't match up. I then added a circle on top and adhered them all together. Flipping them over I scored the back of my pie using the new 12" Rotary Trimmer and the scoring blade to make cutting just one slice out pretty painless! I also used the CCS to cut out a circle for the plate the slice of pie is on. The dollops of whipped cream were made using the Dazzle Border Punch, cutting out the border with my CM scissors.

That cute pumpkin pie border is made using a border sticker from the CM ThankFULL kit. Behind the sticker I placed a border I punched out using the CM Border Maker System and the (retired) Circle Weave Cartridge. I needed to trim one of the pies from the sticker but other than that, they seem meant for each other!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope these ideas have inspired you and I can't wait to see your take on them!  Please feel free to share what you've created in my Lisa's Workshop Facebook Group
