I've been asked to create some summery themed cards to sell at a local stationary store for the tourists, and these are 2 cards that I've completed for them.  Unfortunately, I had to use these cards which are using retired stamps and paper, as my order did not arrive in time for me to complete my layout that I've been working on.  

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Nicky.

Endless Summer 3-Ring Artbooking Album

So about 3 days ago I decided that I needed to make an album for my families summer pictures.  I rummaged through my craft room and found the new 3-Ring Kraft Binder, and so my creation became inspired.  I chose a selection of cardstock colours and started cutting pages to put in the album.

So in the above photo you will see that I'm cutting multiple images at the same time.  One of the features of the new Artbooking Cartridge is that once you choose your page size everything you select will cut to coordinate to fit that page.  Carly explains in much better detail in this video.

So here is the cover to my Endless Summer Album.  Once I complete my album, I will share my pages with you.  

Stay tuned in for more of my artbooking projects, cards and so much much more.
