CTMH Artbooking: The Sweet Life

This layout is mostly cardstock with just one 2x6 piece of B&T (patterned paper).  So this layout can be easily recreated with any color scheme and for any theme!!




I used this layout to capture a fun piece of our 4th of July celebration!  Watching the cousins playing in the pool and around the water “bounce” area was so fun!  They had a blast together!! 





  
 Stamp Set:  E1027 Framework Alphabet
Cardstock colors:  White Daisy, Whisper, Lagoon, Ruby
                                        and Honey
B&T Patterned Papers:  ProPlayer (Hexagons)

Tips/Techniques:
-  Mix cuts from multiple keys to create a unique layout
-  Use the ruler border true to size, or as an accent to
    highlight a number or list
-  Use an overlay or border from a mini album and size it to
    fit a 12" x 12" page
-  Cut a Cricut® pocket to hold journaling
-  Shrink title to create a page accent
-  Use Crciut® Craft Room to create layered pieces by making
    a piece 1/4" bigger and using the "Hide Contour" feature
-  Cut "Life" title out of two different colors and adhere so
    that both colors show
-  Use Cricut® Craft Room to connect letters together to
    create one cut instead of individual letters
-  Use the blending pen to highlight stamped letters
