TUTORIAL: Check out some tips on how to create the gridded background featured in this sketch with CM Advisor Jennifer Cabral.

Jennifer Cabral is from Seekonk, Mass., and is a mother of four children. She has been scrapbooking for 15 years and has been a Creative Memories Advisor for a year and a half. Nothing makes her happier than preserving memories for her children and family while sharing this amazing hobby with her friends and family.


Collection Used: Party Time!

Susan Brandes has been a CM Consultant/Advisor since 1997 and through three cross-country moves. She comes from a long line of scrapbookers and cherishes the baby album made for her by her dad and the scrapbooks her grandfather made as a young man (with its funny comments and captions!). She cherishes CM’s quality products and the friends she’s made along the way.

Great job with the tutorial Jennifer Cabral! So visual and thorough, I learned a lot about the scallop blade and the zero center ruler! Thanks
You are so very welcome! It’s amazing how much just changing your blade can make your page POP! The zeroing ruler is one of my favorite tools now. I use it all the time! Thanks for watching!
