Artbooking in August- 2-page Layouts

Are you ready to get creative?? Let 40 talented CTMH consultants inspire you with their creativity this month. Each Monday in August, these ladies will be posting artwork to their blogs and you can follow their blogs or set your alarm to make sure you do not miss a post!

Their challenge was to create 4 different projects using the Cricut Artbooking cartridge and any CTMH paper pack. ( yes - we all have retired paper packs in our 'stuff' and this cartridge is perfect for using up paper!!) Their mission was to design each of the following:

1. 2 page layout
2. Card
3. Mini Book
4. Home decor or giftable item

I have two layouts created with Artbooking to share with you today!

4th of July- For this layout, I used Cranberry & Black Cardstock and a patterned paper from Pro Player. I added some of my favorite Silver Shimmer Trim.

This layout features an overlay found on the "J" key. I cut it at 10.5 inches and then cut it in half to span both pages. I also cut the rocket shape from the "K" key. This is a layout from the new Make it From Your Heart Vol. 2 book.

Here's some detail of the overlay. You can see that I added some silver Glitz Glitter Glue in some of the circles, and outlined the stars with my black pen.

First Day- This next layout is one my ladies created at my All Day Crop yesterday. It features Kraft paper, Cranberry Cardstock and patterned paper from Sarita and (retired) Cruisin. I also added some of my favorite Silver Shimmer Trim and Red Shimmer Trim. I used another pattern from Make it From Your Heart Vol. 2.
This layout features a couple of accent pieces found in Artbooking! The First Day Title is from the "Z" key. The Arrows are on the "6" key. I cut some filmstrip looking photo mats at 10.5", to make 2x2 photo openings. I then cut the filmstrips down from 4 photo slots to 2 slots on the left side and 3 on the right side.
The journal card, stamped with School Years is cut with Artiste and the scalloped circle is cut from Art Philosophy.

My cricut sure was chirping away cutting these page kits for 16 people :)

The next hopper on our list is Linda's Blog. I know you'll be inspired by her and the rest of the hoppers! HAVE FUN!!!

~~ Holiday Blog Hop ~~

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop. I made a couple of things to share with you today. I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone. As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape. At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone. Supplies: Styrofoam cone Pearl Floral Pins CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper D1320 Shining Star Stamps I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason . I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one. Supplies: Styrofoam Cone CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers K& Co paper D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel! The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25 ....

April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks for joining me for another weekend of Blog Hoppin Fun! If you have come here from Tina's Blog , you are on the right path! Keep on hoppin until the end :) April Showers is our theme, and I went with the "shower" theme and made baby cards for baby showers! I am addicted to making these stacked present cards lately! I first saw one that my friend Jayma made, who found it on Vicki's blog. Recently, I saw a couple cute ones on Haley's blog too. I cut my paper strips at 1.25 tall x 3, 2.25 and 1.5 long. Add a ribbon down the center, or just a bow on top and you're set! I used the Sweet Baby stamp set and Polka Dot Alphabet for my sentiments. Now I'm all set for the next baby shower..... (though I don't know any preggos right now). This design is also great for Birthday Cards too!!!! I made two each of these cards and stamped Birthday sentiments on them :) Supplies: BOY: Miracle Level 2 Sweet Baby...
