Laughing Lola Scrapbook Layouts!

"Laughing Lola" from Close To My Heart was such a fun Workshop On The Go kit to create with! I taught a class in August with it and wanted to share my designs on my blog so that they can be found by those who are browsing for ideas.

Artbooking in August! Project #3! Mini Book

Welcome to Week #3 of the Artbooking in August Blog Hop. Last week's artwork was so phenomenal and this week over 35 creative consultants are at it again!

Our challenge is to create 4 different projects using the Cricut Artbooking cartridge and any CTMH paper pack.  Our mission is to design each of the following. This week I chose a the Mini Book!

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

If you arrived here from Jan's Blog you are on the right track!

(Remember this is a circular blog hop and if you get lost or confused along the way, the list is posted on Adeline's blog here.)

Now let's take a look at that Mini-book I mentioned...

I used my Artbooking Cartridge to create a flower girl photo album! I made a horizontal and a vertical version. (The book is a small clear plastic album you can find at Michaels or Dollar Stores that holds 4 x6 photos. I decorated the front and back of the covers.)

I used Lucy bulk papers as my base. The flip side of the paper is used to cut the word "Girl".

The flower was cut from page 80 of the booklet. I layer a whisper grey cut onto the pink side of the Lucy paper and added glitter gel to the outermost edge. The petal cuts in the center I inked with pigment ink in cotton candy and left them raised. The pink button made the perfect center!

This is is the inside of the album. This cricut shape matches perfectly to the memo stamp included in the bundle. I had to set my machine on "8". I am going to use this accent to journal the Bride and Groom's name, Flower Girl name, Date, place, etc... This way my daughter will always remember when she got to be a flower girl!

This is a small accent I added to the back cover of the album. "Sweet Heart". This is what I keep saying in my head when I see the photos again. "awww, she was such a sweet heart!" hehehhe.

Hope you like my project!

Now hop over to Jane's Blog to see what she has created!

Artbooking in August! Project #1! Cricut Layout

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!

If you arrived here from Jan's Blog then you are on the right track!

Our challenge was to create 4 different projects using the Cricut Artbooking cartridge and any CTMH paper pack. For this week I chose the 2 page layout.

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

Artbooking was the perfect excuse to finally scrap this special topic- My sister in laws 30th Birthday party! This cartridge as awesome birthday items, for this layout I used the titles!

I hopped around in the cartridge and used bits and pieces from all over. What i was most excited about was I created the right hand page frame well panel with my Gypsy cardstock, then used the negative space as photo mats on the left side page! (Get some mileage out of my cardstock!)

The stamps I used here in the title are part of the Bundle that comes with the Artbooking cartridge.

Couldn't wait to try out the new Washi Tape!

Hope you like my 2 Page Layout example using Artbooking! Now hop on over to Jane's Blog and see what she has created! Don't forget to tune in again next Monday to see more ideas!

Surf's Up! Layout #4! Waterplay!

Surf's Up! Layout #4! The layout is my take on the sketch from "Let's Scrap". I love checking in on this blog to see the weekly sketch challenge! Below is the sketch I worked with.

I added a couple extra photos in place of some of the suggested embellishments. (I just can't edit myself to only 3 photos just yet!) I also moved my journaling from the top right corner to the base of the wave shapes I made instead. What do you think on my interpretation? If this looks like fun to you be sure to check in each week and play along!

I used my brand NEW "Artbooking Cricut Cartridge" on this layout. It is available for purchase starting August 1st. I could not resist using the wave shape on this layout! It was a great way to show waterplay! I am going to enter this layout in the "water, water, everywhere" challenge on the Heart 2 Heart Challenges blog!

Also on the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge was this cute title! "Fun and Sun" sums it up pretty well!

For the vertical element of the sketch I stamped a swirl flourish and repeated it so it looked as if it were one continuous shape.

Supplies:

• Surf's Up! Workshop On The Go Kit
• CTMH Love Life stamp set
• CTMH Artbooking Cricut Cartridge Bundle
• CTMH Creme Brulee Ink Pad
• CTMH Bitty Sparkles
• SUP Marker in "Not Quite Navy"
• CTMH Retired Mayberry Paper

Thank you for checking in!
