Newest CTMH Cricut Cartridge

You all know how much I love my two CTMH Cricut Cartridges - they are pretty much the only cartridges I ever use. Well, CTMH has done it again and given us ANOTHER fabulous cartridge called Artbooking and this one just blows me away!  Artbooking is packed with 700 different cuts:  - 30 Themed DOUBLE Page Layouts (total of 60 layouts) all size coordinated - 10 Themed Mini Albums (8x8, 6x6, 5x7) with minimum 8 pages each - Full page and partial page overlays (square and rectangles of each overlay) which can also be used as stencils for inking or misting - Loads of phrases - Themed accessory images - Themed and decorated photo mats - Font - So much you won't believe your eyes!  And if you say to yourself, well this one isn't for me because I mostly do cards, gifts or home decor then think again because ALL of it can be re-sized and used as pieces for any kind of papercrafting project!  Its got everything from a sweet little giraffe to a man and woman outline shape holding hands and the most adorable snowman I've ever seen!

I'll be posting a PRE-Order special tomorrow on my blog but for now I thought I'd give you the goods and show you just how AWESOME this cartridge is going to be!  Orders will be going in on August 1st release date.

Today I used a sketch from a new challenge site I found called 2 Broke Girls Challenges. The paper used was a combination of Echo Park Dots and Stripes and a little bit of CTMH Dream Pop. The "enjoy" title is Heidi Swapp purchased from Michaels.

Today I made the left side of a 2 page layout for Hilary's school album. To make the school albums easier to complete I make the exact same layout for every year only changing the paper. The left side is built on an upside down CTMH True Fit Folio so I can put a lot more pictures and interactive stuff on the inside. I was totally inspired by Heidi Swapp and her Memory Files. This gorgeous paper I used is CTMH Lucy. I cut the title out on my Cricut with the CTMH Artiste cartridge.

This is the right side of the layout I started yesterday. On this page I used a Heidi Swapp sticker word and a Project Life Childhood edition journaling card.

A very simple layout because I think the picture speaks volumes. CTMH Dream Pop paper used here along with an Ali Edwards stamp. The layout design is Shimelle Laine once again.

This layout was made to accompany a layout I made in February about the birth of my nephew in Vancouver. I used CTMH Chantilly paper, kraft borders, burlap ribbon, outdoor denium chevron ribbon and the title is an Ali Edwards digital printable from Designer Digitals.

 

Stay tuned for more!
