Artbooking in August #4

Well, it's been a fun filled August.  I hope you are itching to try out the NEW ARTBOOKING cricut cartridge (available from your local CTMH consultant).  This is the final week of the hop, and you should have arrived here from  Adeline's  , but if you have just joined the hop, don't worry it will go in a circle and you will end up at Adeline's
The week I am showcasing something other than a card, layout or mini book.
I had a few ideas kicking around in my head but this is what I settled on.  I used an old "Whoo's your Valentine" treat tube & box as the base for this little Christmas gift.

I used the tree off of p. 66

I used the oval off of p. 74

 and the reindeer off of p. 57

The stamp set is an old CTMH one.

Your next stop is  over at PAIGE'S

If you enjoyed this hop stop back in September for three more
 on Sept 1st--for the stamp of the month

Artbooking in August #2

Wow, does time fly when you are pushed to create every week.  You should have arrived here from
Adeline's Blog
This week I have chosen to tackle a bitter sweet memory...my wedding day.
For years, I said to myself "soon, soon I will find the right paper, the right embellishments to do this album up right" then Brian died.
Now I am faced with the dilemma of scrapbooking one of the happiest days of my life, without infusing it with bitter sweet memories.
Then this Artbooking cartridge came along.
Perfectly beautifully designed layouts, that do justice to the memory.

This is the layout I chose, with a few alterations.

First, I added a pocket behind the main picture.

I also added a bit of bling to the layout 

One of the neatest things about this Artbooking cartridge is the "background" paper.

You can make stunning layouts using only cardstock.

Now let see what   Paige  has created.
