Hope you are all having a GHOUL-ISH day! 🙂 Halloween is right around the corner, so I thought I would create some super cute and fun 2 page layouts using retired CTMH papers & embellishments and the FABULOUS CTMH Artbooking Cricut cartridge! How fun! All of these layouts can be purchased for $10 per kit at my Scraptabulous Crops. Once they are gone, they are gone – so get yours before they sell out! Continue reading
WOW!!!!! It was another SCRAPTABULOUS weekend with some my favorite Scrapping Chicks! 🙂 Lots of laughter, craziness, food, prizes, and craftiness – we had an AWESOME time! Thank you so much, my friends, for choosing to spend your weekend with me!
As with every one of my crops, I offer one of my six page workshop classes. October featured the Huntington Paper Pack, and I wanted to share some of the SCRAPTABULOUS creations with you all!! The layout contest winner was Roxanne Haller, but we had some serious challengers, too! 🙂
I love how Roxanne inked her edges and chose to accent this layout with Goldrush paper. She also used a 4×4 flip flap on the left page to include some extra pictures. Check out her photos – they are sepia in tone with the pumpkins being the only color in the photos. BRILLIANT!
Hi there, friend! 🙂 So I am totally geeked right now – I’m getting ready for my October SCRAPTABULOUS weekend crop that starts tomorrow. WOOOHOOOO!!! I truly LOVE spending time with my girls!
Here are some pix of my completed Tommy layouts from my WOTG. These pictures were taken over Labor Day in Port Clinton, OH. We were joined by some of my favoritest CTMH consultants – Rebecca Cross (hostess), Sarah Page-Gruber, and Briana Bostick. Way much FUN!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE how I was able to use the negative space triangles from the overlay on my next two layouts. CTMH ARTBOOKING CRICUT CARTRIDGE ROCKS!!

I have so been enjoying the warm autumn we are having here in Michigan! The days are warm and the nights/mornings are chilly enough to make you want to snuggle up with a warm cup of joe. Autumn is my favorite season – the beautiful colors, getting back into a school routine, my son playing football, and the return to scrapbooking season! Continue reading
Happy Thursday to you all!! I was so stinking excited to be able to scrap my photos from boating over Labor Day weekend. It was super easy and fast to complete the 6 pages – because I used the layouts I had already finished from my Scrapbooking Workshop! All I had to do was add titles and journaling – and in a few places I need flip flaps and some extra mats. Seriously, am I the only one who takes 568 photos of everything??
What what??? It’s SEPTEMBER!! Where did summer go??? Well – I know one thing for certain, I sure don’t wash white football pants in summer and I sure don’t smell SCRAPTABULOUS in August, so I guess it’s true… Back to school and scrapbooking we go!! It’s *so* my favorite time of the year!

Hi there! Wanna see some more work with Artbooking?? Well, here ya go….
First, a card featuring one of the super cute new owls. I made this for a special little girl who was turning double digits.
The overlay, branch, leaves, title, numbers, and shapes ALL cut from Artbooking. LOVE that the title is one piece! I just cut off the word “here” that was part of the Look Who’s Here title and added the number 10 to make it more of a birthday title instead of baby.
Isn’t it cute?? Simply cut the owl out in multiple colors and then you can cut and paper piece it together to create something that is ALL YOU! Don’t forget to add some tone on tone stamping to plain cardstock to give it some P-O-P! I LOVE all of our background stamps for adding just a little bit of texture.
Here are both the Owls from the Artbooking cartridge with our new Babycakes paper. I am in LOVE! Page kit available for only $8!
Banner and frame were also cut using the Artbooking cartridge.
Can. Not. Get. Enough!!!!
Enjoy your weekend, my friends and Make Something Scraptabulous – because CUTE matters!
Hugs,
Dana
