Summer Mini Album

I finally got my Artbooking cartridge TODAY! I couldn't wait, so I went ahead and made one of the mini books for these challenges:

Rose Blossom Garden - summer theme and bonus "t" key from Artbooking
The Pink Elephant - Texture
Atlantic Hearts - Sketch
Heart 2 Heart - Bon Voyage
Colour Q - translated to Outdoor Denim, Grey Wool, Heavenly Blue, Sorbet, and White Daisy









My Cricut has been messing up, so along with the cartridge, I ordered a new blade and a new mat. That helped immensely! I couldn't believe how easy it was to make all these cuts! I was a little disappointed that they don't have all the completed pages shown for you, so you have to be creative. That's one thing that I'm not (so much), so it's not as pretty as it could be. I didn't use any stamping, just paper and a few embellishments. It will look much better once I get the pictures in it!

I made a summer theme, and I used the bonus key for Rose Blossom Garden. I will use this as a vacation/cruise album, which will count for the Bon Voyage challenge at Heart2Heart. Artbooking has really neat overlays, which are a new form of texture, which counts for the texture challenge at the Pink Elephant.


Materials used:
Cardstock: White Daisy, Grey Wool, Grey Flannel, Taffy, Sorbet Heavenly Blue, Outdoor Denim
Other: Clair Assortment, Outdoor Denim Mini Medleys, Wooden Trinkets, Silver Glitz Glitter Gel, Black & Grey Buttons assortment
