CTMH Artbooking: 10 Things I Love

I love the possibilities with the 10 Things layout in Artbooking!  This layout I focused on 10 Things I Love, but imagine all the possibilities of 10 Things you could scrapbook on a page!!

10 Things:

Children say
To avoid
To do in my city
We did over the summer
I want to do
People Don’t know
I loved when I was 10

(okay, getting corny, but you get the gist!  Any “list” of layout possibilities, these Artbooking cuts will work beautifully for!!)

Using some of the alphabet stickers found in the My Crush Best Day Ever Assortment makes finishing this title a breeze!! 

We used an overlay to spritz a pattern onto our background page!  I love this as it provides a subtle look without being overdone!!  Some additional “touches:  using a basic journaling pen to “doodle” around some of the cuts really helps them pop!  Sanding the edges of the photo mats to give the layout a little more texture, and of course my beloved shimmer trim!!

Stamp Set: C1561 One-Way Borders

Tips/Techniques:
- Use a Cricut® overlay as a mask and spritz with re-inker for
   a background that doesn't overpower the page
- Stay with a theme from two specified keys to create an easy
  and beautiful layout
- Use a Cricut® photo mat as accent piece
- Offset a layered border for added dimension
- Add freehand borders to add detail
- Back number shape with different cardstock to personalize
   Use letter stickers from the My Crush Best Day Ever
