Girly Name Album

This my favorite name album so far.  I made it for a client.  I just love the colors she chose!  Gray, aqua, pink, a little purple.  So bright and pretty.

Baby Girl Album - Artbooking

This is a mini album made from the Artbooking cartridge.  I love that all the measurements stay perfectly proportional as long as you keep the dial size on the one specified and don't change it.  Takes the guesswork out of it.  The butterfly on the front is from Art Philosophy.  I also added the baby's name in pink to the floral tag.

 

 The animals are so cute and the envelopes are fantastic for keepsakes from when baby was born...an umbilical cord clamp or hospital ID bracelets.

 Love the animal print overlay on this cartridge.

 This is a pocket that would be perfect for storing extra photos:

CTMH Artbooking Cartridge

Got my new Artbooking cartridge and finally had a chance to play!


















This was so much fun to make. It did take a little time...but not too much and it wasn't too difficult since the sizing is all preset.

















There are such cute titles and photo mats on this cartridge. I know I am going to love making layouts with it.

Marvelous Mini Books

So excited to share my latest Cricut find! Their new "Mini Books" cartridge takes all the guesswork out of creating these sweet little albums.


Here are the ones I've made so far:



This one has 2 inside!











Ok, they are tiny, but adorable, right?

The explosion box:








Lots of places for little pictures! And the layers are perfect with no measuring.





I love this little one. It has an adjustable band around it.





This one turns out to be fine for single-sided paper as it is glued in to the cover and you only see one side of the pages anyway. :)


I showed my hand do you could see the scale.

I'm sure I'll fancy thus one up with ribbons on the binder clips.


It has some great self-closing envelopes to choose from:


There ate different shapes of pages, but I thought this shape was really pretty.





I haven't added pics or embellishments yet, but I am happy with them even in this stage. I made all of these in a very short time. I love how fast they are. They would make terrific little brag books for grandparents or parents.

I even feel like I have a little head start on Christmas gifts for relatives. :)

Have a lovely, crafty weekend.

Ice Cream Cone Mini Album

I made this yummy mini album fir the challenge at BBTB2. I used the ice cream cone from Stretch Your Imagination.
First, I used the blackout feature and cut out the ice cream cone at 8". I don't have cereal boxes, so I used boxes from granola bars.









The boxes are rather small, so I used the "center point" feature to help me squeeze that shape on the box diagonally. You just put the blade in the center of where you want your image. This is also
how I did the tag. I stamped the sentiment on there and then used this feature to cut it out:






I cut out 6 cones from the boxes:



Then I cut out 6 cones from cardstock, then 6 more using the flip feature for the backs of the pages:









I embossed the cone with the cuttlebug:


Used some flowers from my stash and stickles on the cherry:



I also used Puffy Paint to embellish the tag:



I love that stamp from Scrappy Moms Stamps!

I think this will be a great excuse to host an ice cream social for the kids. I can see cutting their little faces into circles to use on each page...we better make invitations!
