Cricut Artbooking Endless Summer Layout

Look at the super easy and fast layout quickly done with CTMH's Cricut Artbooking Key!  I love how easy everything is resized on Artbooking for you automatically.  No craft math!!!!!  All we had to do was cut everything to 11" (which is the size of the lace overlay) and everything is autosized for us.  Dana Simone-Kurtz made this cute page kit for me, and it was perfect for the picture of the kids in the pool (or the pool steps, that's as close as Kennedy gets)!  

Check out the TITLE.  That effect is done by cutting the title in one color cardstock then with two other colors sponge daubing straight sections one shade to the next, from darkest to lightest.  I recommend working actually from light to dark because you can always go darker, but you can't go back :)

For more Artbooking samples follow me on pinterest and watch for CTMH's video tutorial series Artbooking made easy.  And to get your OWN artbooking cartridge call me at 760-712-7033 or head to heatherplotzke.ctmh.com to order now!

Thursday Studio J Love from Guest Designer Rose

Guest Designer Rose is back to share some fun new layouts for your viewing pleasure today!

Surf's Up Paper is perfect for the beach

I love how Rose changed the base page color of this Wings paper from Black and Green to shades of Pink.  Its just a simple CLICK in Studio J.  Head over to Heatherplotzke.ctmh.com to start now!

This retired L8tr Skater paper pack was one of my favorites while we carried it in PAPER, but now that it lives on in Studio J I'm THRILLED!!! because I can use it over and over again for my daredevil shots. 

 Way to go Rose, Thanks for sharing your great layouts with us!!!!!!!!!!!

Artbooking Made Easy (S01E03): Summer Mini-Albums

Tube Wreaths

Tube Wreath Directions (September's Workshop)

 

(1) 10” circle chipboard covered w/cs (the reason for covering it is in case you see between the tubes)

Punch 2 holes for hanging ribbons ( I recommend doing this after you have hot glued your cones on chipboard)

3 patterns of paper – (4) 6" x 5"  

  * the paper that you want to be the outside needs to be the back when you     roll…roll like cone and glue (glue short side to long side)

Place cones around wreath to determine rough spacing; remember to leave room for play once gluing begins because there will be shifting. 

5 ½ “ circle to cover center (I skipped this step on wreath when filled with paper roses) / then layer & decorate.  When applying the center shape try foam tape to give a raise look, it also makes it easier to adhere to each of the tubes.

For additional fun try squishing/pinching the cones and tipping them all on their sides as you glue them for a different look OR making it oval shaped.

For other samples you can check my pinterest account http://pinterest.com/Heatherplotzke  for my samples, as well as others I’ve found – (under Fall fun is where the original inspiration came from (& once I got started I couldn’t stop myself lol).

 

Fun themes besides holidays:

·         Sports teams (We did Oregon Ducks)

·         School – pencils in between tubes were super cute

·         Kids character themes

·         Clubs/organizations
