Artbooking in August Blog Hop Week One - Two Page Layout

  

 Welcome to the Artbooking in August Blog Hop! I'm so glad you decided to join us.  If you arrived from Polly's Blog, then you are on the right track.  With over 700 images on this cartridge you may find it hard to choose where to start!  This layout utilizes the Chantilly paper pack and uses the overlay and photo mat 1 on page 85 of the Artbooking Booklet.  They were cut two times - once in buttercup at the recommended 11" and then again in white daisy at 11.5".  The edges of the buttercup frames were sponged using Buttercup Ink.  The buttercup frames were stamped using images from "A Garden" A1119 in Buttercup Ink.  It does not show well in the photo, but it is very subtle and looks similar to a watermark.  The buttercup and white frames were layered using mounting tape.  Again, it is difficult to see in the photo, however the mounted frames have more depth in person.

 Page one uses the alphabet on the cartridge. The letters M and y were cut in Cotton Candy at 1.75" with the machine set at real dial size.  All of the elements on each page are linked - that means you set the machine at the recommended size and cut all the elements from the same page at that size.   The banner "sweet" is a title on page 49 and was cut in Cotton Candy at 11".

 Page 2 utilizes the title "XOXO" from page 48 in Cotton Candy, but I don't remember the size.  The "baby girl" was cut at 11" in Chantilly texture paper.  It is also a "title" and it is found on page 84 of the booklet.  I sponged the edges with Cotton Candy Ink.  I embellished the letter i using our bitty sparkles.  Additional embellishments include Creme Brulee Baker's Twine, Small Sparkle Flourishes and the metal heart that says love from the Base and Bling Word Accents.  For more depth and dimension, all the cut elements were mounted to the layout using mounting tape.  You may leave a comment if you have any questions and I will get right back to you.

This layout was very easy to put together using the Artbooking Cartridge!   Now hop on over to check out Jean's creation.
