Jubilee Workshop on the Go Scrapbooking Kit

I made cards and pages for a my workshop on   Friday.  The first 2 cards are Kits included in the cost of my workshop fee.  The Life is Sweet card & the Starburst pages are samples that can be made on the day.

             The pleated card inspired by CTMH consultant Bernadette Lewin



I had alot of fun getting inky around all the edges of these cards.  The flowers are cut on the Cricut machine and then rolled using the quilling tool.
The colouring and blending with the CTMH pens is very therapeutical I found.


Want to learn these techniques and more then contact me & come along to one of my workshops and I will show you how.

Artbooking Made Easy: Togetherness

If you love documenting your favorite family together time, then you’re going to love today’s episode of Artbooking Made Easy. We’re going to be looking at the together layout keys on pages 60 and 61 of the Artbooking booklet. Contact ME your Independent Consultant for more information!

       

      

So whether you’re scrapbooking memories with your sweetheart, your friends, or your family, these together layout keys are perfect!

 

 

 

I love this overlay! As Mimi pointed out, it’s been backed with papers from several different paper packets, but they all work together so well that you wouldn’t even guess they weren’t from the same packet! This overlay is nice because you can leave the cutouts backed simply with paper, photos, stamps, or embellishments.

 

Don’t you love this beautiful stamp? It’s nice with the two-colored effect too, created by simply stamping in two different inks and then cutting out the frame from one and paper piecing it atop the sentiment.

 

 

Again, this adorable overlay is perfect to be sized down and used for a card! I also love how the “I Adore You” sentiment was dovetailed and then popped up with a double layer of 3-D foam tape to give it a realistic ribbon-like look.

 

Notice how the artist had used a frame on top of the photo, without trimming off the edges. I love how the colors work together to frame the photo but it adds a certain amount of interest to keep the edges of the photo exposed.

 

 

Mimi showed us in the video how to back the border with colorful scraps, but you could also do the same thing with the “together” banner or other cutouts from these keys, as many of them have decorative edges.

 

These two heart pennants add such a nice touch to this page. You can use some re-inker and a spray pen to add some light sprinkles of color, as you can see here on the White Daisy cardstock that’s backing the pennants. I also love the machine stitching on top! That adds a fun and unexpected detail.

Artbooking Made Easy: Capturing Snapshots

Wondering what to do with all those snapshots you have lying around? Close To My Heart's Artbooking cartridge's snapshots keys are the perfect way to assemble those photos into one oh-so-memorable mini album. Contact ME your Independent Consultant for all the details!

 

One of the things I love about the circle overlay is all of the fun stamping you can do with it! Jill showed us how the overlay was used as a stencil all over in this album for this fun, shaded stamp pattern. Try this out with the other overlays to pattern your paper! The best part is that you can still use the cutout, even after you’ve used it as a stencil!

The My Acrylix™ Reel Life stamp set used here comes with three arrows, so you can achieve this fun pattern by just stamping it once in four different colors, cutting out all the pieces, and arranging them however you’d like.

 Of course, you can use the cutouts from these keys for other projects besides mini albums, too. On this adorable canvas, all of the shapes were cut using Real Dial Size to make them fit perfectly on the 6" x 6" canvas. The title and the circle half overlay were both cut at 2" RDS, and the photo mat cut at 4 1/2". The camera and the heart were both cut at 1 1/2" RDS. I like how the artist customized the title by leaving off the “photos” from the “My Favorite Photos” pennants on page 40 of the Artbooking booklet.

Artbooking Made Easy: Artbooking My Life

Take your no-hassle, ready-to-use Picture My Life™ scrapbooking to the next level by incorporating various cutouts from Close To My Heart's Artbooking cartridge! Check it out here, along with charming Mother's Day gift ideas. Contact ME your Independent Consultant for more information.

I know I would love to receive a pocket-scrapbook page filled with photos of my child and grandchildren—wouldn’t you? These scrapbooking programs are amazing by themselves, but combining them with elements from the Artbooking cartridge makes them even better! Let’s take a closer look at these wonderful projects.

I love this sweet Mother's Day Picture My Life page! Monica pointed out how the shapes from the Artbooking cartridge can be sized down using the Real Dial Size feature in order to fit these smaller cards perfectly. Real Dial Size is going to be the key to making the shapes, cutouts, and titles from Artbooking work perfectly on your Picture My Life layouts.

These scrapbooking programs are so unique that no matter your scrapbooking style, you can adapt it to fit your preferences. For example, I love how the card on the bottom right acts as the journaling for the card to its left.  The cork shapes point to the picture and the kraft letters label it. And don’t you love how those little stitched hearts decorate the card? Such a nice touch. If you’re worried that the Picture My Life programs won’t give you enough room for journaling, think again! Each of the cards has journaling on one side, so there’s always plenty of room to label and write some details about your photos.

Because the Picture My Life cards are rather generic, they are also versatile enough to use for a variety of projects. But using cutouts from the Artbooking cartridge is the perfect way to add some specific details and titles to your pocket scrapbook pages and layouts, like how the artist has created this “Mothers day” title using the letters from Artbooking.

Like Monica said, one of the best parts about the Picture My Life programs is how they also coordinate perfectly with the My Reflections™ paper packets. This My Creations™ box is decorated so adorably using paper from the Skylark paper packet and a card from the Skylark Picture My Life program, but then just a few select cutouts from the Artbooking cartridge help dress it up: the arrow, pennant tab, and “cherish” title. And don’t you love that Base & Bling camera charm?

See how this box fits everything you need? And because it’s tiered, the cards are all readily accessible. Remember that you can decorate the inside of the lid, too!

Monica already pointed out the calendar on this layout and how it was sized down to fit perfectly on the card. But I like how the artist played up the calendar theme by using a card with the months of the year, and by journaling highlights from the 1^st year of marriage.

One idea from this page is to add a cutout from the Artbooking cartridge to a blank journaling card. If you don’t have anything specific to add journaling for on a page, an Artbooking title might be just enough to dress up the card.

Another smart idea: if you find that your pictures just don’t quite match your color scheme, you can always try printing them out in black and white or with a sepia finish.

So please enjoy getting those Mother’s Day gifts ready, and go ahead and try incorporating Artbooking into your own Picture My Life projects!

Artbooking Made Easy: All-Star Scrapbooking

No matter if you’re a baseball, football, basketball, or soccer fan, or just know someone who is, you’re going to want to cheer for today’s episode of Artbooking Made Easy! We’re going to be looking at the teamwork layout keys found on pages 82 and 83 of the Artbooking booklet.  The pennant banner, chevron overlays, star border, and teamwork sentiment cutouts will leave you wanting to do a victory dance! Contact ME your Close To My Heart Independent Consultant for more details.

  

Let’s take a closer look at the title here. The artist cut it out twice, once in Honey and once in Outdoor Denim, and then layered it to give it the shadow effect. She went one step further and added in that extra detail with a journaling pen, and the result is a home run in my book!

Also, look at how the artist has used the banner border—upside down! It blended in so well with the other elements on the page that I almost missed it, but it’s definitely a winning element on this page, especially since it’s used in a way that you wouldn’t expect.

One thing I want to point out with the baseball, as well as the other balls on the teamwork layout keys, is that there are two ways to cut out these shapes. For example, with the baseball, you can either cut out the shape in white and lay it on top of a red circle to have the stitches show through from underneath (the baseball shown here on the right), or you can cut out the shape in red and lay the cutouts of the red stitches on top of a white circle (the baseball on the left). Whichever look you prefer!

 Let’s take a time-out from layouts and move over to home décor. I love simple pieces of home décor, and it’s always a bonus when it’s something you get to decorate yourself!

For soccer balls, basketballs, and baseballs, the circle shape on page 83 is perfect for backing the cutout in a solid shape of a different color. To get that exact football shape, though, you can either just cut the solid shape out by hand, or use the “hide contour” button with Cricut Craft Room^® to hide the middle cutouts for a solid base shape.

One little tip as you’re using your Cricut^® machine for smaller, intricate cutouts: try using the “flip” function key to cut out your shapes in the mirror image. This will often give you cleaner cuts, especially on the front side of your shapes. Just make sure that if you’re using the double-sided B&T papers, you load the side you want to show face down on the cutting mat.

Artbooking Made Easy: Trailblazing Travel Albums

You can document that unforgettable vacation, getaway, or outing with the travel keys on Close To My Heart's Artbooking cartridge. From artsy airplanes to ticket-like tabs, there are cutouts to accompany any of your travel-themed crafts. Today's Artbooking Made Easy is all about the travel mini-album keys. These keys are found on pages 38 and 39 of the Artbooking booklet, so let’s take a look! Contact ME your Independent Consultant for all the details!

I love how versatile the Artbooking cartridge is—from just two pages of keys, we saw three totally different looks. Use your favorite colors, embellishments, and shapes to make your projects your own! Let me show you some of the details to inspire you.

I really love the simplicity of this page. Using kraft cardstock, the artist cut out the little geolocation icon and the airplane, and then, using the scallop border punch, created a simple border with the White Daisy and Goldrush cardstock. I love how the look of the scalloped borders matches the shape of the clouds on the next page. Sometimes using simple shapes ties things together nicely. If you have a favorite shape or cutout you’re using, experiment to see what other shapes or borders might coordinate with it.

This overlay from page 39 of the booklet looks great sized down for this card, but I especially love how the artist has decorated it with a unique twist on baker’s twine! These little wheels are easy to create, and I love the way they match the circles on the overlay, the border, and the center of the flowers. And of course, baker’s twine is typically used for tying bows or wrapping around paper, so I love seeing embellishments used in a way you don’t see very often! All you need to create these wheels is some Liquid Glass (or Glue Dots). Apply a circle of Liquid Glass to your paper, and then take your baker’s twine, adhering the end to the center of the circle, and just wrap your way around. Because the baker’s twine already has a twisted design, wrapping it into wheels creates a great multi-dimensional look.

From the "Our Vacation" album, these washi tape ruffles are just too adorable! They add such a fun element to these pages, and they’re so simple to make. Just put two pieces of washi tape together (so that the adhesive sides stick together), fold to create the pleat, and staple one side down along the edge. You can hide the stapled side behind another piece of paper, or just leave it exposed—however you’d like.

If you love the colors of your plain cardstock but want to give it more visual interest, you can always use the same color of ink to stamp backgrounds onto your solid-colored cardstock. The good thing about creating your own patterned paper using stamps is that you control how it looks—you can stamp several times to create a lot of contrast, or you can stamp it lightly to just give a hint of a pattern.

Another thing I love about this page is how the artist used the "Just Be" title in her own way to create a new title! Use your imagination to see what new titles you can come up with. 

What inspiring artwork! Feel free to adapt and adjust some of these techniques to work for your own projects.

Artbooking Made Easy: Top Secret

I have always loved any way of preserving memories, and keeping a journal is certainly one of the best ways to make precious memories last. But for many of us, journaling began back in the days of diaries that had a lock and a key in order to protect the secrets hidden within. Keeping secrets seemed so important as a child! But the secret is out on this episode of Artbooking Made Easy, which features the top secret mini album keys on pages 42 and 43 of the Artbooking booklet. 

The secret is out! We love the Cricut® Artbooking cartridge from Close To My Heart. The shapes on the top-secret--themed mini album keys are perfect for scrapbooking your big ideas and big adventures! Contact ME, your Independent Consultant to learn more.

Artbooking Made Easy: Fab Frames

Decorate picture-perfect pennant frames using Close To My Heart's Cricut® Artbooking cartridge. From flowers to snowflakes to titles, you will love the versatility, ease, and look of these artistic embellishments. This Artbooking Made Easy offers some wonderful ideas about giving your walls a face-lift, too! Take a look.  Contact ME your Independent Consultant for more information.

The base pennant-shaped cutout is found on page 76 (Photo Mat 2), cut at 9.5" Real Dial Size to fit the frame perfectly. 

  This sweet frame just melts my heart. I love how the border from page 40 of the Artbooking booklet matches the pink herringbone-patterned paper.

  What I love about the Artbooking cartridge is that the elements are so adaptable. You can mix and match sentiments and shapes from different keys—for example, the “sweet” and the “girl” titles together—to create a seamlessly harmonious piece of art.

  Inside the frame, you can see some great elements also.   With Circuit Craft Room^®, you can use the “hide contour” button to hide the sentiments on the pennants from page 40, leaving you these little pennants that you can label yourself. I also love that adorable paper clip found on page 47 of the Artbooking booklet. Paired with an acrylic flower from the Ivy Lane assortment, it’s the perfect accent to that precious photo. 

   If your sweet girl isn’t quite so girly, this kind of color palette is the perfect solution. With more of an outdoorsy feel, these colors and elements are still elegant and feminine with the shapes from the Artbooking cartridge. With the lacy, doily-like stamps and prints, and the paper rosette, it’s just enough to offset the masculine feel of the woodgrain base color.

  I love this border! Using the border on page 47 of the Artbooking cartridge, the artist first used just a plain border straight across the frame. For the top lace border, she used two border cutouts attached together and pleated with a bone folder to make it really stand out. So lovely!

  The great thing about the snowflake overlay on page 76 is that the negative space is lots of little snowflakes, all in various sizes. Or you can choose to cut out the individual snowflakes to get the exact size you need.  

  I love how the artist has layered these two snowflakes to give it more dimension. And you can see how she used just a few drops of white re-inker to add some fun snow detail. The silver and pink sparkles throughout the frame really help tie those little elements all together.
