Sweet, now I can scrap lift you! This turned out so good. I love that photo of you and Chelsey when you first met.

[@JaymaMalme]

Yay! Thank you! I wish we got one like that too! Cody was so on it!

[@JaniceGilhooley]

Such a fun layout - looooove the photos and can't wait to do this in real life too!

[@crchekouras]

So cool that you, Erin and Chelsey were able to meet in person and you be on the last catalog!

[@JaymaMalme]

I agree!! 💗💗💗

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

I definitely want to scraplift this one! What an awesome layout and such fun memories recorded!

[@SewCraftyNana]

Cute! Love the little bits of red like the matte.

[@JaymaMalme]

Thank you!?♥️

[@rhondapurton-coles6250]

I LOVE your Double Page Layout, this will be my design choice for this Paper Pack too. Thanks for sharing... ❤

[@JaymaMalme]

You are so welcome! I am glad it inspired your layout choice 😍

[@JudeCrafts]

Wow Jayma! This layout!! So iconic, in light of all that has happened! I think it is so fitting that you, a CTMH star, grace the final catalog they will produce!! Congrats to you on that happy event. And then for you 3 CDT leaders to meet in person on that Incentive trip - I can only imagine how very bittersweet that was, given the timing, but I'm so happy you had the opportunity to spend that time together and so very grateful that you have shared it with us so beautifully here! Adventure and travel together and friends and creative joy, that's what it's all about! Love the layout, thank you, and we'll see you on the next creative journey!

[@JaymaMalme]

Awwww, thank you. 💗💗💗

[@louisebrislane6607]

Red was my choice from the start before you even started, to put behind your photos on the left hand side as it was a contrast. Yes, it definitely makes your photos pop as well as bringing the page to life!! I like your finished pages as they look so bright & happy!! Also it is good that you were able to meet each other before the end of CTMH.

[@KimsaStamperSU]

I also had the same thoughts about needing to use that beautiful passport paper for travel outside of the country. Thank you for sharing all the ideas Jayma- for the layout choices as well as the trimmers.

[@JaymaMalme]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jessicamathis8803]

Jayma, I love your videos and your crafting style! So excited to have just joined the CDT membership so I can get even more inspiration from all you talented ladies😊

[@JaymaMalme]

Yay, welcome!! Well my video class for today just went up in the membership!

[@tinasaucke4238]

Oh my gosh... I'm so glad you commented on the time it takes to die cut... I thought I was a little inept at it. :)

[@JaymaMalme]

Hahahaha no girl, not just you! 😂 Especially since I have to see the colors before deciding, so I always cut extra.

[@tammyb6497]

Great layout! I’m getting so much inspiration for this travel line I feel like I might run out of the paper before I’m able to scrapbook all of my photos! I wish some of the other volumes of the inspiration books were still available. I really appreciate having the measurements as a guide for the layouts.

[@katistamps]

Nice job, Jayme!

[@JessicaDipzinskiThePaperHeart]

I love the way you were inspired by the catalog cover but made it your own for these pictures. 😃

[@JaymaMalme]

Thanks!! 😊

[@gerialder5265]

Love, love these layouts! Thanks for the great tips! 😊

[@JaymaMalme]

Thank you! I hope they help!!

[@papertherapywithamy4153]

Looks great. I couldn’t have scrapbooked those pics with passports either 😂

[@JaymaMalme]

😂😂😂 Lucky for you, you have lots of adventures that require a passport! 😍

[@trudyfrye7545]

I love the Dress my craft guillotine trimmer because it goes to 6 inches.

[@JaymaMalme]

Thanks so much for the recommendation!

[@teriwalker3185]

All of the creative design team seems so in sink with each other! I would have never guessed that you have never meet in person. I just assumed you had seen each other at different corporate events.

[@JaymaMalme]

Aw thanks! We all have such good synergy and it’s hard to believe we hadn’t hung out in person before! But now that we have it feels like we have been hanging out for years.

[@paulawillard9083]

It’s fun to see photos of you together! How sweet.

[@JaymaMalme]

Isn’t it?! It makes my heart happy!!!

[@dianebarnes484]

You might check out the Creative Memories trimmers. The personal trimmer is almost 5 inches in width and the large trimmer has various decorative blades available for purchase.

[@JaymaMalme]

Thank you, I will check them out! I actually wanted to try their 12” trimmer, I didn’t realize they have a smaller one. I need ALL the trimmers to do a comparison video 😂

[@JudeCrafts]

I wanted to say that but hesitated! The CM personal trimmer is really really good, I have been using it for over 20 years, can't beat it! I like their 12" for the scoring blade and other decorative blades, but find I just can't get accurate straight cuts at small dimensions like 1/4". I finally got myself a Fiskars and I'm so glad I di!

[@Melsstampingallery]

Love this! So fun! The pop of scarlet for the mats is perfect 👍🏻 Love the photos, they really capture all the feels! ❤❤

[@JaymaMalme]

Thanks so much! 😊 I want to go back to those moments! I guess this is the next best thing. I love that we get to relive them when we scrapbook!

[@schnauzermommy]

I agree with you about the passports. I can't use those on a layout that was taken in the US either.

[@JaymaMalme]

Hahaha I am ok with the general theme most of the time but this I couldn’t do 😂

[@scrapbookaholic]

Love this! Thank you! :)

[@JaymaMalme]

So glad! You are welcome!

[@ellaconner9452]

Very nice layout! Great explanation of tips/techniques 😊. So did you make the layout on the front cover? TFS

[@JaymaMalme]

Thank you! No I did not. I submitted my photos and the CTMH art department made the layout.

[@ellaconner9452]

@@JaymaMalme that’s cool! I didn’t know they did that. What an honor 😊
