Artbooking Made Easy: Togetherness

Another set of beautiful projects from CTMH are on this video.  Also, there is a tutorial showing how to make the fun rolled flowers from the Artbooking Cricut cartridge.  This is the same technique that can be used with many different die cuts or punched strips using edge punches.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for visiting!

Artbooking Made Easy: Fun In The Sun Video

This is the last video in the series that CTMH produced for the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge.  Kristine shows a couple of layouts with some great techniques.  I especially like the use of reinkers for painting and the tiny hexagons to number the photographs.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for stopping by!
