Courtney Lane Designs: Cricut Artbooking make a wish scrapbooking layout!

Hello, friends!

Today I have a birthday layout I made using the NEW Artbooking cartridge. Now this is one of the 'stock' layouts with a little bit extra added. You know I had to make it my own *wink*. You will notice in the pics of the handbook below that the colors I used are the ones that they used in the handbook. I typically do not do this as I think you guys deserve better from me than that. However, I thought they did such a great job with the colors I went ahead and used them. These are not colors I would have thought to use for a birthday layout! Sometimes you just have to go with it.

Betsy said...: Thank you for illustrating the methodology behind this new cartridge. I'm wondering how one could adapt this cartridge to use for 8.5" x 11" pages. That is the size I mostly use for my scrapbook pages. Any ideas?!; August 9, 2013 at 5:50 AM
