Sheri Says Just Scrap It: Cross Canada Hop: Celebrating Cousins with an Artbooking Bracket Frame

Welcome to our April Cross Canada Blog Hop, featuring a revolutionary product from the CTMH-Cricut partnership: the amazing and exclusive Artbooking cartridge! When it was introduced at Convention last year, I knew it was different and it was awesome. And then I got my hands on it! It has really changed the way I scrapbook and create.

So join us as my fellow Canadian CTMH consultants show you some fantastic creations using Artbooking that you can make too!

HERE'S MY PROJECT: Artbooking Bracket Frame

This year, we got an amazing shot of all of the Ballantyne cousins, from oldest to youngest. It's a very special memory and I wanted to create something very special to showcase it. This bracket frame was the perfect solution.

I used the Art Philosophy cartridge to cut the striped paper (from the Ariana paper pack) and the Outdoor Denim frame.

Then I got out my Artbooking cartridge and started to play. The hearts overlay cut from Ariana paper, was the perfect accent for the picture. And I embellished with some Ariana Coral hearts. The sentiment is from the Ariana Workshop on the Go stamp set.

Then I added an XOXO cut out in Ariana Coral cardstock using Artbooking. I love how you get all of the elements you need that work so well together, all from one cartridge! The triangle studs help to draw attention where I want it to go, and add some shine.

Lastly, I matted my photo with more B&T paper from Ariana to add some depth. And I stamped the date and title using the Sans Serif alphabet -- love those alpha stamps!!

So, what do you think? I think I'm going to send this to Grandma and Grandpa Ballantyne, so they can enjoy, celebrate and show off ALL of their wonderful grandchildren.
