My Artbooking Favorites… So far!

If you have not yet heard, Close To My Heart has a New, Exclusive Cricut Collection that will be available to order on 8/01/13! It’s called Artbooking and it’s full of mini albums, themed layouts, an upper and lower case font, and much much more!

You can order this collection and get this fabulous Cricut cartridge, three Exclusive stamp sets, and three coordinating Dimensional Elements sheets that coordinate with the Artbooking Cricut cartridge and the three exclusive stamp sets for $99 on August 1, 2013. It’s a great deal and I promise you, it will be one of your “go to” cartridges for all your crafting needs.

Today I want to share with you two more of my Artbooking Favorites so far!

This Love Mini Album is adorable! Making a mini album has never been easier than it is now with the Artbooking Cricut Collection. All you do is set your height to 8 inches, and use each the feature key with and without the shift key and you will have all the pieces. The part that will take you the most time is choosing some papers, but don’t worry about that we have that covered too!

Imagine the possibilities for this one project using key #11 and #12!

My 2nd favorite is this themed layout! This is a 12×12 layout, but if you scrapbook in a different size you can adjust how large or small you want it.

All of this on just ONE key (#47)! So what I really appreciate about this cartridge are these overlays! I can tell you from using the Art Philosophy and Artise Cricut cartridges these cuts are designed with great detail and cut very well! Today I saw some of these overlays cut at the Scrapbook Expo and I was in awe of how precise they cut!

Close To My Heart has made Scrapbooking so very easy and efficient! All the guess work is gone. You simply decide the heights of your layout and every feature on the page will cut at the correct size based on the original design. You can also use the Real Dial Size key to make sure you get the exact size you want as well.

This post has gotten a little long, so I will post close up photos of the three step sets and Dimensional Elements that come with this awesome Cricut Collection early this week.

Raising The Level Of Positivity ~ Day 7

#1 – He is risen! The grave could not hold Him! Death has lost its sting! My Savior Lives! What an awesome day we celebrate today and everyday. We have nothing to fear in death because Jesus has resurrection power and so do we. We have everything to live for in Christ.

#2 – Abundant Life! While we live life on this planet it can be the abundant life that Christ came to give to us. We get to choose this life or to do it our own way. I am so thankful for the choice and reality of that abundant life. I am not rich by worldly measures, but I am beyond wealthy in God’s blessings of healthy children, healthy and gorgeous grand children, wonderful and loving siblings, friends that I consider my family, both of my parents and step mom are all still on this earth with me, and I was blessed with most loving and humble grand parents that have ever lived. I have a husband that loves my Lord and me! All of my children are close to me and that is pure joy to me. I have many nieces and a nephews whom I treasure. How much more could I desire? Just some more grand babies is all I can think of, but no rush Boys! Seriously no rush…

#3 – the freedom to choose! I choose to give thanks, be thankful, say thank you and be happy with where I am, what I am, and how I am. All while I am moving forward to be better where improvement is still needed.

Exercise was jogging for 75 minutes! Made up for yesterday.

Happy Easter to all! Sleep tight and make Easter Monday your best one ever!!
