Tutorial for Baby Layout & Card using Arbooking

I love to scrapbook and I love my Cricut machine so marrying the two off with Close to My Heart cartridge called Artbooking you are bound to produce a lovely Baby Layout. So less than a year after launching this Cricut Cartridge CTMH corporate office made this informative video on how to create a baby layout and greeting card. It is a short video worth watching.

Enjoy!

If you would like to order this cartridge featured here feel free to do so at my online store.

Cricut used in Crush Books what a Smashing Idea!

I know the latest trend of Smash books or CTMH version Crush Books is for quick and easy way to document your life as it is happening.

If you are like me a more traditional scrapbooker that's okay. The video below is a great example of how you can elevate your memory books using the Cricut Cartridge Artbooking.

 

I hope this elevates your Crush for scrapbooking and Cricut Artbooking.

 

Keep on scrappin'!

Challenge Entry

As part of my New Year's resolution is to participate in the online community more through card or scrapbooking challenges at least once a month. Below I've created a card that meets two challenges

MOJO MONDAY- Sketch Mojo238

HEART2HEARTCHALLENGES-Create something that uses the letters CTMH.
C= Cardstock, Chipboard, Chevron washi tape
T=Texture, Textile-Sparkle & Shine
M=Milepost Chipboard, Mojo Monday sketch, Metallic cardstock
H=Hearts, Hot Air Balloon

I think I've also read another challenge that I believe was on Splitcoaststampers where you try to combine patterns but having trouble finding it again. Combine two patterns for easy and five for difficulty. In this card, I've meet the difficulty level. Look closely there are in fact 5 patterns. The one that's least obvious is the Silver Geometric washi tape (Z1932) below the textile.

 

Most of the supplies used are from Close to My Heart:
