About Melissa

Want to see the latest tools, learn new techniques or find your community? You have found the right place.

For me, scrapbooking has always been about more than photos and pages—it’s about the memories we preserve and the people we meet along the way.

I’m Melissa Vaccaro, a Creative Memories Independent Advisor and the owner of Glitzy Scrapbooking with Melissa in Bradenton, Florida. I have been a Creative Memories customer since the 1990s and fell in love with the quality, photo-safe products, beautifully coordinated collections and tools that make preserving memories easier and more enjoyable.

Today, I love helping other scrapbookers discover those same things while preserving their own meaningful stories. Whether you are looking for the newest Creative Memories products, searching for a retired favorite or trying to find the perfect tool for your project, I’m always happy to help.

Crop • Create • Shop • Learn

I’m proud to announce the September 2026 opening of our new scrapbooking crop space, the Glitzy Scrapbook Studio—a welcoming place in Bradenton, Florida, where scrapbookers can gather, create, shop and learn.

My events are a place where everyone is welcome. What began as a shared love of scrapbooking has grown into a community of like-minded scrapbookers who have become family. We share ideas, celebrate projects, inspire one another and always have a great time together.

I teach new techniques and make sure you can see the newest Creative Memories products and tools. My beginner workshops offer a friendly, encouraging place to learn the basics, ask questions and begin preserving your memories—no experience required.

Custom Tools Made for Scrapbookers

I also offer custom scrapbooking organizers designed specifically to fit Creative Memories tools and keep them within easy reach. Glitzy Scrapbooking’s Scrapbook Tape and Tool Organizer was designed to hold Creative Memories Original or Jumbo Tape Runners upright and ready to use. The Scrapbook Tool Station was designed to organize Creative Memories trimmers, border tools and other essential tools without taking over your workspace.

Choose from available colors and designs, or ask about custom logo personalization for qualifying bulk orders. Orders of 35 or more may also request a custom product color.

More Than a Store

Glitzy Scrapbooking is about more than selling scrapbook supplies. It is about helping people tell their stories, finish albums they are proud of and build friendships along the way. I carry current and retired Creative Memories products, Advisor Exclusives, promotional items, hard-to-find treasures and custom scrapbook organizers designed to keep the tools we use most within easy reach.

I also mentor others who are interested in becoming Creative Memories Advisors through my team, Melissa’s Glitzy Gals.

When I’m not working or scrapbooking, you may find me cheering for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—or enjoying a good espresso martini with friends.

Whether you are shopping for the newest Creative Memories release, searching for a retired favorite, attending your first crop or learning how to scrapbook, I would love to help you.

Happy Scrapbooking!
Melissa
