I love this Family Vacation layout, not only because it features beach
scenes and embellishments (because who doesn’t love the beach?) but
because it incorporates the journaling so creatively. The hexagon
numbers are a fun way to match up each adorable photo with a caption,
don’t you think?
There is also some fantastic layering used here. A square of B&T, a
journal spot, and some cardstock turn this combo of a photo mat into
much more than a photo mat—it’s a scene to behold. With the photo atop
that, held in place by washi tape and stitching, and a few
embellishments more, the entire piece is a little work of art all on its
own.
When you work with a busy layout like this one but have details you
still want to add, make use of your photo space. Crop a photo so that
the focal person isn’t precisely in the center, leaving room for a
stamped sentiment or extra accessory over the open space.
Move to the next layout and you’ll notice that though a lot of the same
shapes were used, yet the layouts look totally different.
A change in size, paper, placement, and embellishment give every single shape on the Artbooking cartridge multiple looks. With 700 images on the cartridge, that means the possibilities are as high as the sky—a big, blue, open summer sky.
From one artist to another, keep dreaming! You’re as free as you let yourself be in your creativity. It’s my hope that the Cricut® Artbooking cartridge gives you all the right ingredients you need for expanding your artistic world and capturing the moments that matter most.
