Chantilly Workshop

As you know I love the Chantilly paper. So I made 4 more layouts. To make these 4 layouts it uses 1 complete pack of the Chantilly paper and a few cuts from some other CS papers. It is a good way to see how much can be done with just 1 pack of paper. The Cricut cuts for one of the layouts are using the Cricut Craft Room and the CTMH Artiste and Art Philosophy cartridges.  This was a project that Paige Dolecki put together and she offers a kit for sale . You can go to see her layouts HERE. Thank you Paige for all your directions and CCR file. I added just a few changes to each of the layouts. Three of the layouts I placed pictures from a number of years ago. lol  It was a trip to Brainerd Minnesota showing my daughter an attraction there called "Paul Bunyan Land". It felt good to get some of my older pictures on layouts and out of the box. I am going to try doing that a bit more in between the current photos. The fourth layout goes with the other Chantilly Layouts I made previously with more current pictures.

Layout #1
Layout #2
Layout #3                                                                                                                                      
 
 Layout #4

I hope you enjoy these layouts. Thanks for stopping by.

See you next time.

Better Blending

Since CTMH started selling our new Alcohol markers you may wonder on just how to use them. This video gives you some tips on using and storing these new markers. Along with using the Alcohol lending pen. This video will help you get started or if you have already used them you may get a tip to add to your knowledge in working with these markers.

Personally I like using the Pigment Ink pads to stamp my images the best. Using the Pigment Ink pads also gives you a variety of colors so you don't always have to have black ink for your images. The Pigment Ink pads are 1" cubes in stacks of 10 colors in 4 different color groups. Give them a try and see what you think along with the Alcohol Markers.

Have fun playing with the Alcohol Markers and Alcohol Blending Pen.

Are you a Cricut Craft Room Beginner?

Here is a video by CTMH on using the Cricut Craft Room. CTMH has two currently  great Cricut cartridges. One is Art Philosophy and the other is Artiste. On August 1st they will offer a third cartridge called Artbooking.  All 3 of these cartridges are jammed packed with images!!! They each have 700 different images. They are fantastic. To have even more fun use the Free Cricut Craft Room program to manipulate the images and add images together.

The video below is from CTMH and will give you an example of using the images in the Craft Room. Give it a try. It is fun to experiment and see what you can put together to cut out.

Have Fun.
