I'm playing catch up after playing for two months in Canada and Alaska....yes, it was amazing...but that's another blog on another day :)
I will be posting this week some CTMH produced pictures, articles, and videos describing the new Artbooking cartridge. I've consolidated these sources with help from my sister consultants and my CTMH website to provide my readers with samples until I'm able to create my own artwork. Enjoy....

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to introduce a series of posts about a new Close To My Heart product that has me elated! There’s so much goodness packed into one product that it’ll take me months to share what it has to offer—but that’s perfectly OK with me, because I know you’ll be falling in love as much as I have . . . if you haven’t already.
You’ve noticed that your Cricut® can do some amazing things, but when cutting multiple shapes for the same project you’ve also noticed that they aren’t always so easy to make proportionate—to each other, or to the page itself. The real dial size setting is wonderful, but adjusting it for each cut takes time. I have considered this dilemma over and over again, and have been on the hunt for a good solution. I haven’t found the solution anywhere, but I have created one!
That’s one of the reasons I love the Cricut® Artbooking cartridge! It is absolutely overflowing with images (700, to be exact) and they’re grouped into 15 fun themes for layouts, with 10 for mini books. Of course, the best part is that the images are specially “linked” together to solve the proportion problem. This cartridge is revolutionary! I want to share with you a first glimpse of what you can do with it:
Isn’t it amazing? Take a look at some of the elements of these projects up-close.
Notice
the similarities in the photo mats on this page. Both come from the same key,
and complement one another nicely. They can be mixed and matched with others,
of course, but they are a great set. 
The
photo mats on this page are also noteworthy. The same design, but with a
different orientation, can be found on the same key on this cartridge, and that
makes selecting a mat for various-sized photos easy.
The mini album
project is one of my favorites! The fun shapes of the pages give it such a
quirky flair. This photo is short in height, but long in width. This page was
cut to fit it just right, don’t you think?I hope you enjoyed your first glimpse into the cartridge! We’ll spend a lot of time over the next several months picking out the details and enjoying them together. I’m overjoyed at the thought of what imaginative creations you will come up with as you discover for yourself its almost endless options, and hope you’ll share your own Artbooking adventures along the way.
