CTMH Skylark Scrapbook Layout

This layout was inspired by a layout designed by Susan Williams.  I swapped the papers for Skylark, and used our Embossing Folders to give the card stock some extra texture and design instead of incorporating a 2nd patterned paper.


The Skylark Textiles were super easy to work with in creating these pinwheel flowers. 

The Skylark Assortment and Triangle Durables keep the layout simple but elegant, while the twine from the Mini-Medley's Wooden assortment gives a little rustic twist of texture!

CTMH Skylark Mini Album

Another Secret Sister gift…although it wasn't till I was done creating that I realized I was giving 2 - mini-albums, hopefully she liked them!  Either way, I know I had fun creating them!

This mini-album used our My Creations Flip Stand Album.  The pages and shapes were all cut from the Cricut Artbooking cartridge, although I didn't stay on 1 key, it was fun just grabbing shapes and seeing how they'd work!  I used the Skylark Textiles to add some texture to the project.

 
These are the pages of the album (I only decorated the front-side since it would flip over the back of the album stand).

 Don't forget, in April you can get the Artbooking Cricut Collection ($99 value) FREE when you purchase the CTMH consultant kit for only $99!  The kit includes this beautiful Skylark Paper plus over $300 in products/Supplies all for ONLY $99…that's over $400 in products for ONLY $99…seriously, you don't want to miss this deal!!  Join TODAY!!












The last page was actually inserted into the Flip Stand.  The hardware is easily unscrewed from the album stand, making it easier to insert a "backing" for the album and also allowing some flexibility in decorating!

CTMH Balloon Ride Mini Album

One of our CTMH traditions on our incentive trips is Secret Sisters!  Like Secret Santa, we each get another consultant that we deliver gifts to throughout our trip, revealing who we are at our closing reception!  Obviously our trips are a BLAST, but this just adds another fun element to the excitement!

I created this mini-album for my secret sister to capture her Costa Rica memories!  It was designed in Cricut Craftroom using the CTMH Artbooking cartridge, our new Balloon Ride papers and coordinating card stock colors.


The MyCreations Binder album is a new favorite for me…combined with the CTMH Cricut Artbooking collection, creating mini-albums is so quick and easy, and at only $5.95 for the binder album, it just can't be beat!


This first page really let me play in Cricut Craftroom.  The shape on Artbooking is actually Monday - Sunday.  So I used craft room to weld portions of 3 of these images together to put the days in the sequence of our Costa Rica adventure (arriving on Saturday and departing on Friday).














Don't forget, Artbooking is one of the CTMH Cricut Collections you can receive FREE in April when you join Close to My Heart!!!  For a $99 investment, you'll receive over $400 in products/supplies!!  As with all good things, like my fabulous Costa Rica trip, they must come to an end, so this special is only good through the end of the month…so don't delay and join today!!!  Not sure why you should join?  Check out all these fabulous reasons!!

Artiste is project based...lots of 3-D shapes, mini-albums and layered pieces!  Much more themed with shapes like Cupid, Eiffel Tower, Skeletons and words like Love, Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, etc.  With the projects, shapes that go together are color-coordinated so you know which shapes to cut/assemble.  Plus it comes with an assembly book to help you see where to score, glue and how to assemble the 3D items, mini-albums, etc

Artbooking is all about scrapbooking and mini-albums!!  It's our newest collection and is crazy awesome goodness!!  You set your cricut at 11" then cut everything for coordinating layouts with overlays, titles, photo mats, etc and it all cuts proportionally for a 12x12 page!!!  The mini-albums give you a "recommended" finished album size then tell you what size to set your dial, you cut all the pieces and have a complete mini-album to assemble.  Each of the themes (Freedom, Friends, Fall, etc) have 28 elements per theme, allowing you to have endless layout combinations!
