Cross Canada Hop featuring Circus Alphabet & CTMH's Cricut Artbooking

Welcome to our July Blog Hop featuring creations.  To purchase any of the items seen in our blog hop today, contact your local consultant to place an order.

If you have just hopped onto my blog,welcome.  If you came from Deanne's Blog you're in the right place.

I showcased the cover of this mini on the  July SOTM Blog Hop, since then I have tweaked it a bit to make it easier to put together.  So some of my sneak peaks might not be exactly as shown below.

Basic supplies for this project
Skyark paper, Kraft Cardstock & CTMH's Artbooking Cricut Cartridge
and June Stamp of the Month and one stamp soon to be released.

Before I begin with page by page details, here is an overview of the base pages

 before I started adding stuff to them.

All of the pages were
cut at 5 1/2"  from the artbooking cartridge
except for
"A" is matted on 5 x 5  kraft cardstock ( I did this to give it a bit more stability as a cover and to make the covers a bit bigger than the pages of the album.)

"F"  (4 1/4"  x 5" sweet leaf cardstock with
      corners trimmed off)

"I" (6x6 kraft cardstock)

Note:I used the holes in the other pages as a guide

The beauty of the Artbooking cartridge is that you can

 pick an album,

 pick a size I chose 5 12"

 (the suggested cutting size for this was 7", I wanted something a bit smaller)

pick some paper and start cutting.

Then, when you have all the pieces cut out

 you can put them together anyway you like.

AND they will fit.

Below is a picture of the pages from the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge that I used to make this album

Pages & accents  cut @ 5 1/2" unless otherwise noted

that's the only way I could make the umbrella work

one last look at the completed album

Hope you enjoyed this little summer album.  Actually one of the first projects I have made using the Artbooking Cartridge that I made using ONLY two pages (well except for a couple extra's I threw in)

Now, on to Deanne Blog to see what she has created.

This album available as a kit,  pre-cut and ready to assemble $20 (S&H extra)
