<div style="text-align: center;">
As we start into August, I realized there is a lot to share with you this month. Grab your favorite beverage and settle in to a cozy spot. Ready? Ok, let's get started.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your current catalog says it ends July 31st, but it's not. It will still be good through August and end the same time as the Seasonal Expression 2 catalog. Why is this important? Starting in September, we will no longer have an Annual Catalog with additional Seasonal Expression. We will have now have the big catalog that comes out tri-annually! This means 3 times a year you will receive a new big catalog from me.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our current catalog and Season Expression 2 catalog are while supplies last, so if you want something... don't wait. It might sell out before the month is over and we won't be getting more in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can shop the current catalogs on my website at <a href="http://www.lisafaris.ctmh.com/">www.LisaFaris.CTMH.com</a>. There a so many great things available, you won't want to miss out.</div>

Have you seen the AMAZING Crepe Paper Flowers that you can make with your Cricut Maker? Lia Griffith can show you how.<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
First you need to have a <a href="http://shrsl.com/13czc" target="_blank">Cricut Maker</a>! The rotary blade will cut the crepe paper smoothly and will not rip it. <div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<P>
Born with a cleft lip or palate, there are billions of people worldwide who suffer from the inability to simply smile due to a lack of access to any surgical care. Every three minutes another child is born with this condition, resulting in malnourishment, speech impediments, and social stigma.<P>
<P>
For nearly a decade, Close To My Heart has partnered with Operation Smile™, a non-profit organization that provides safe surgeries repairing cleft lips and palates in children around the world. In an effort to collect funds for this charitable group, we annually dedicate the proceeds of one of our stamp sets to their efforts. This year is no different.<P>

<P>
Today’s post is going to teach you what we call the Split Stamping technique.<P>
<P>
This technique is exactly what it sounds like: You split your stamp image. There are a few different ways to do this.<P>
<P>
One of the easiest ways is to stamp an image onto a piece of cardstock and then cut it into pieces, like the elephant below.<P>
<P>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8SZ9c4tQTXRsVyu5yr5wl3f4phpkw5mm3TEdBG64azhYlh2l8Bzaryw_1GDpVs_Uxm1_HAWRkHR2U1IdZEq0ji9xmDdrTM6d9nClSeVAEHTWjjgbh43Xdxz4BV1Ir_NG6YTQV_SXIQlOP/s1600/Elephant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8SZ9c4tQTXRsVyu5yr5wl3f4phpkw5mm3TEdBG64azhYlh2l8Bzaryw_1GDpVs_Uxm1_HAWRkHR2U1IdZEq0ji9xmDdrTM6d9nClSeVAEHTWjjgbh43Xdxz4BV1Ir_NG6YTQV_SXIQlOP/s320/Elephant.jpg" width="261" height="320" data-original-width="633" data-original-height="777" /></a></div><P>
<P>
<P>
Cutting up an image and reassembling it on your artwork is a unique way to draw more attention to your stamping.<P>
<P>
Another way you can “split” your stamp is with masking. Not sure what we mean by “masking”? Masking is when you cover up part of your stamp or paper before stamping an image. <P>
<P>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcnOoDhieKqtSvw1rTONa4M5NVehjypi6aHO8tU5wLj2_3fDUDjycHNZGa5X4A8RB84lE6sfRXax_jwSezpUU8lFfdmDErl7XkiixDoMfXAb_6zpc0AbsK4FoAtr7oO20iBl1qysvnCykA/s1600/Best+Wishes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcnOoDhieKqtSvw1rTONa4M5NVehjypi6aHO8tU5wLj2_3fDUDjycHNZGa5X4A8RB84lE6sfRXax_jwSezpUU8lFfdmDErl7XkiixDoMfXAb_6zpc0AbsK4FoAtr7oO20iBl1qysvnCykA/s320/Best+Wishes.jpg" width="320" height="260" data-original-width="633" data-original-height="514" /></a></div><P>
<P>
<P>
Here, we attached a strip of cardstock across the center of our card with just a little bit of adhesive so it wouldn’t slide around. Next, we stamped our flowers along the top and bottom of the card, overlapping them slightly with the strip. We then carefully peeled off the cardstock strip, removed any leftover adhesive with our <a href="https://lisafaris.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=4696&ci=5944">Rub & Remove™ eraser</a>, painted our flowers, and then stamped our sentiment.<P>
<P>
For a more advanced spin on this technique, try incorporating the piece of cardstock you use for the masking!<P>

<P>
<P>
For this card, we cut both pieces of White Daisy cardstock, attached the smaller piece to the center of the larger piece with a little bit of adhesive, and then stamped our flowers over both pieces. Next, we carefully separated the smaller piece of cardstock from the larger one, painted our flowers, and popped the piece up on <a href="https://lisafaris.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10235&ci=8938">Bashful cardstock </a>with <a href="https://lisafaris.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8048&ci=6066">3-D foam tape</a>. To add even more dimension, we also stamped some of the blossoms on scrap paper, painted them, trimmed them out, and then attached them over the matching blossoms with <a href="https://lisafaris.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10306&ci=9389">3-D foam dots</a>.<P>

Can you believe summer is already coming to a close? Oh how time flies when you’re having fun! Though it may be hard to wave farewell to days lounging by the pool, visiting family, and traveling to beautiful destinations, you can keep those summertime memories alive and well by creating a mini album. Summertime doesn’t have to end!<P>
<P>
Close To My Heart created this camping-themed album with two of their exclusive Cricut® collections: <a href="https://lisafaris.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8547&ci=6310">Artbooking</a> and <a href="https://lisafaris.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8547&ci=6310">You Are Here</a>.<P>
<P>
The <a href="https://lisafaris.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8547&ci=6310">Artbooking collection </a>includes a variety of tabbed, hole-punched pages designed especially for creating mini albums like this one! To decorate those pages, they turned to the <a href="https://lisafaris.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=275">You Are Here collection</a>, which is the newest Cricut® collection. This collection includes designs to help you document your adventures both near and far away from home. Combine these two collections together, and you’ve got everything you need to create any number of mini summertime adventure albums!<P>
<P>
You’ll see lots of the <a href="https://lisafaris.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9964&ci=8434">Jack paper packet </a>in our mini album. With its tree, woodgrain, and flannel-inspired plaid patterns, these papers are perfect for documenting your outdoor adventures. Just remember, it’s only available until the end of the month while supplies last, so grab yours while you can!<P>
<P>
If these pages inspire you to make an album of your own, feel free to refer to the recipe at the bottom of this post to see which products we used, as well as more details about the Cricut® cuts.<>

I wanted to share this information with you as well, because it is SO important to get those photos out of boxes, off the computer, or even out of the camera, and into our lives to enjoy!<P>
<P>

<P>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVtrv8PD0GdsMQ1ku4qaChDy002mgTvvRf6U3K0GHTsVSPZAnyojhEuvv_oz5d4wcbxAHjs4a6LqyHS1-aCd27wAzkGsXdqZgEx-_1t3V5afgS16dF6wlWXbfkN4B-K-ZB2iMCjHHw0j1y/s1600/how-to-organize-years-of-photos-without-getting-overwhelmed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVtrv8PD0GdsMQ1ku4qaChDy002mgTvvRf6U3K0GHTsVSPZAnyojhEuvv_oz5d4wcbxAHjs4a6LqyHS1-aCd27wAzkGsXdqZgEx-_1t3V5afgS16dF6wlWXbfkN4B-K-ZB2iMCjHHw0j1y/s320/how-to-organize-years-of-photos-without-getting-overwhelmed.jpg" width="320" height="250" data-original-width="633" data-original-height="495" /></a></div><P>
<P>
When it comes to scrapbooking, one of the biggest hold-ups for people is feeling overwhelmed with organizing their photos. If you have years of photos piled up on your computer or photos spread between multiple devices, it can be easy to put off preserving your memories. The longer you wait to organize your photos, the more overwhelming it will become—so now is the time to start!<P>
<P>
Because we believe in the importance of memory keeping, we want to help make the task easier, so today we’re going to walk you step-by-step through how to efficiently organize your digital photos for scrapbooking. It’s a process that may take some time, but which will be well worth it when your memories are all in order!<P>
<P>
<b>Step One: Consolidate Your Digital Photos</b><P>
<P>
Upload all of your digital photos to one location on your computer. We recommend using a photo managing system, like Google Photos or iPhotos, to easily transfer photos from your phone onto your computer. If you haven’t transferred them already, go through the photos on your phone, your camera, and upload them all to this one location.<P>
<P>
<b>Step Two: Eliminate Unwanted Photos</b><P>
<P>
Once you have all of your photos in one place, go through and eliminate any that aren’t worth keeping: repeats, photos with a blurry finger covering half the lens, photos of your to-do lists, etc.<P>
<P>
<i>Tip:</i> Moving forward, make it a habit to do a Daily Delete—every day, go through the photos on your phone (or camera if you took pictures on it that day) and delete any of these types of photos. It will take you two seconds and save you tons of time down the road. You’ll be able to skip step two entirely in the future!<P>
<P>
<i>Another tip:</i> Use the time traveling home from a vacation to do your deleting. That way when you get home, you’ll have already eliminated all the photos from your trip you don’t want to keep. Plus, it’s a fun way to relive those memories again while you’re heading home.<P>
<P>
<b>Step Three: Organize Your Digital Photos</b><P>
<P>
In your photo managing system, create folders for each month and year. Then place the corresponding photos in these folders.<P>
<P>
<b>Step Four: Back-Up Your Digital Photos</b><P>
<P>
Back up all the photos in your photo managing system onto a CD or external hard drive. You can also look into online options, such as iCloud, Dropbox, or Google Drive.<P>
<P>
<b>Step Five: Create To-Print Folders</b><P>
<P>
Once you have organized your photos in your photo managing system, you’re ready to start thinking about scrapbooking them—woohoo! Even though all the photos you have left are photos you have deemed worth keeping, you may not want to scrapbook all of them. A great way to figure out which photos you want to scrapbook is to copy and paste a given folder onto your desktop. Then go through and delete any photos you don’t want to print. You can also edit any of the photos you’re going to print if you want to take that extra step.<P>
<P>
<b>Step Six: Upload & Print Photos</b><P>

Once you’ve gone through all the photos on your desktop folder, you’re ready to print! We recommend creating a table, like the one below, to track each folder’s progress. When you have printed your photos, you can delete the desktop folder you created (remember, you’ve already saved these photos elsewhere!)<P>

<i>Tip:</i> Choose one day every month to do a print run. Some months you may be able to afford printing more photos than other months, but get in the habit of printing your photos on the same day each month.<P>

Happy Friday everyone!<P>
<P>
I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July and was able to spend some time with family and friends enjoying the fireworks. Living in a state where fireworks are illegal, we get to enjoy the show put on by the city that evening. We don't have to listen to them for a month before and a month after. <P>
<P>
We still had some fires started by the use of illegal fireworks and from dry lightening. I can't express how much I appreciate all the fire crews out keeping us safe during this fire seasons. Thank you!!<P>
<P>
As we roll-on into summer I just have a few items I wanted to share with everyone.<P>

<P>
I have had my Cricut Explore Air II for about 9 months now, and I haven't even begun to scratch the surface on all the fun things I can do with it. So Far, I have cut out some cute cards and die cuts from paper, and a few vinyl wall decals. But what all could I be doing?<P>
<P>
First thing to note: <i>Cricut Explore machines are not food safe, and cannot cut fondant or similar materials.</i> <P>
<P>
<b>PAPER</b><P>
<P>
The first thing I did with my Cricut Explore, was cut Paper. You can cut all kinds of paper... Standard, Cardstock, Vellum and Poster Board. This makes creating very easy. You can cut paper for cards, pendants, signs, school projects, planner pages, home décor... almost any project you can think of that uses paper.<P>
<P>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUe8KQNAboSN9tdv5uZH2fauAwIps-j9ukIplkhtj9yS31yMPHdkBFe5CF6ISqAmsD9ecJP55Na8NDmZAqK4azzJCuBfLMzyHGY_pmrd7likI3kB6dQlq-k0EyhTgW_ltrjYtC3qFJKF3Y/s1600/169595-party_time-020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUe8KQNAboSN9tdv5uZH2fauAwIps-j9ukIplkhtj9yS31yMPHdkBFe5CF6ISqAmsD9ecJP55Na8NDmZAqK4azzJCuBfLMzyHGY_pmrd7likI3kB6dQlq-k0EyhTgW_ltrjYtC3qFJKF3Y/s400/169595-party_time-020.jpg" width="400" height="400" data-original-width="350" data-original-height="350" /></a></div><P>
<P>
<b>VINYL</b><P>
<P>
You can easily cut Vinyl - Standard, Premium, Dry Erase, and Chalkboard. Much like paper, you can create a never-ending supply of projects using vinyl, such as wall art, decals for windows, doors, mugs, lunchboxes, etc. Plus it comes in so many great colors. There are even three shades of Holographic vinyl too.<P>
<P>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJbSOC2G5IQisR_-3AgH5wG97U_7CQvc5kkn_3Iq1PrA9VKlBCbePqeg6uzl3KJu8CyZoIfbvHuwSbiIlFdfETbsq_kbzAaaLgQYrkcQqG9S65cgvIIby0ahb1ItDXr6pQn9tGjs-hHQWf/s1600/124285-vinyl-on_starter_kit-012_smaller.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJbSOC2G5IQisR_-3AgH5wG97U_7CQvc5kkn_3Iq1PrA9VKlBCbePqeg6uzl3KJu8CyZoIfbvHuwSbiIlFdfETbsq_kbzAaaLgQYrkcQqG9S65cgvIIby0ahb1ItDXr6pQn9tGjs-hHQWf/s400/124285-vinyl-on_starter_kit-012_smaller.jpg" width="400" height="400" data-original-width="350" data-original-height="350" /></a></div><P>
<P>
One other thing you can use vinyl for is cutting out stencils to use for etching. I have made a few items by cutting out the words or design in vinyl and using the negative portion of the vinyl images to place on my item as a stencil. Then I use the etching cream to etch the design on my item. We made some really cute beer steins for the High School Band Oktoberfest fundraiser. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of any of the steins before they were gone.<P>
<P>
<b>IRON-ON (HEAT TRANSFER VINYL)</b><P>
<P>
One of my new favorite things to use my Cricut Explore for is cutting out Iron-on's for sweatshirts. You can create and design your own logo's and images to use on cloths or bags. I even put my intial on my new Cricut Bags (so I don't lose them when I'm at events with other crafters.) Using the Cricut Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) is so simple and the finished product looks amazing. <P>
<P>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSPDVAxqGZKDD1v3IFUDWjqO0FYpqaOdZa9aMakJ0hLFia9vufTW6lMmwOSzoDiic6ahT3wiNwthnYDWo6zrMxL5ibLKighOzI4R-tRnqCc7mhiTw1hKnblfyhv_refVzCXbCdZKdhqwEa/s1600/whole+bag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSPDVAxqGZKDD1v3IFUDWjqO0FYpqaOdZa9aMakJ0hLFia9vufTW6lMmwOSzoDiic6ahT3wiNwthnYDWo6zrMxL5ibLKighOzI4R-tRnqCc7mhiTw1hKnblfyhv_refVzCXbCdZKdhqwEa/s400/whole+bag.jpg" width="304" height="400" data-original-width="1215" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div><P>
<P>
The HTV comes in a rainbow of colors. It also comes in foil and glitter too!<P>
<P>
<b>CRAFT MATERIALS</b><P>
<P>
You can also use Craft Materials, such as Washi Tape, Craft Foam, and Glitter Paper. This adds amazing detail and depth to all your crafting projects. Upcycled Materials such as Chipboard, Cereal Boxes and even Aluminum Cans. How many cute uses can you come up with for these items? Cricut makes Washi Sheets so you can cut out whatever shape or size you want, not just strips anymore. Plus a ton of cute colors. My mind is spinning now..... <P>
<P>

<P>
<b>PLASTIC AND THICK MATERIALS</b><P>
<P>
Explore can cut Plastic such as Stencils, Window Acetate and Silicone. It can even handle Thick Materials such as Leather, Balsa Wood, Magnet Materials.
I haven't tried this yet, but sounds promising. <P>
<P>
<b>FABRIC</b><P>
<P>

One day it’s all about brads and buttons and the next it’s all about sparkles and shimmer!<P>
<P>
Just because an artistic technique or aesthetic may no longer be “on trend” doesn’t mean that you can’t still use it. You just need to freshen it up!<P>
<P>
To show you what we mean, we dug through our archives to find artwork created with some old-school techniques. We then asked our artists to create new artwork using these same techniques…with a modern-day spin!<P>
<P>
They’ve come up with some amazing alterations to these techniques that will make your artwork amazing!<P>
<P>
<b>Old Technique:</b> <P>
<P>
Distressing the edges of your titles with ink. Remember when we did this for everything? Distress all the things! <P>
<P>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX8e_O5AUDA4mabpkwA2LV4Z3XSDQcgQklHAbZG8g7_bEyfGigAyitGT6-QV5UDAqab_S8tSi2t5Fj-Bvyut2QTzHGXKxjXanc9q8gFm5JAYV2LrgGphYIFSQiWV_cDuLEJKrE0C8VZLa6/s1600/wishes.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX8e_O5AUDA4mabpkwA2LV4Z3XSDQcgQklHAbZG8g7_bEyfGigAyitGT6-QV5UDAqab_S8tSi2t5Fj-Bvyut2QTzHGXKxjXanc9q8gFm5JAYV2LrgGphYIFSQiWV_cDuLEJKrE0C8VZLa6/s320/wishes.png" width="319" height="320" data-original-width="633" data-original-height="634" /></a></div><P>
<P>
<b>New Spin:</b><P>
<P>
Instead of distressing your titles, try stamping them using the rock n’ roll technique. It keeps your edges clean, which is the new trend, but just like distressing, it gives your titles dimension and color variation.<P>
<P>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLud_6T1iff2n7duT003NvR5JK8hNqZR5ZcFBhvbQ7uIcLsZe9KjEaV6PZaIdc1-caQPD3MfZuwwHehM9635KR7gfRxWCMAo-1obPf9uAm7ke7t1skB8XmqMHfYphfhcdEZjuwrI4GqfEz/s1600/welcome+baby.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLud_6T1iff2n7duT003NvR5JK8hNqZR5ZcFBhvbQ7uIcLsZe9KjEaV6PZaIdc1-caQPD3MfZuwwHehM9635KR7gfRxWCMAo-1obPf9uAm7ke7t1skB8XmqMHfYphfhcdEZjuwrI4GqfEz/s320/welcome+baby.png" width="320" height="247" data-original-width="633" data-original-height="488" /></a></div><P>
<P>
<b>
Old Technique:</b> <P>
<P>
Ripping and inking your edges, aka, making your artwork look like it’s 100 years old. And remember how burned edges were such a thing? Ripping and inking your edges with black ink mimicked that trend, which you can see on the card below.<P>
<P>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoAw4eatSltX2-tID1XfW0AGuT2QROL70JZACWNrH3vaHUnyYNCmeLWALSTw4997jvMM-K_YEPLga1CUKNndwEU33s5iOHCtfmkTG_Me28Ef-XBzkRnfGBrpYhwIafClAI6pVK52RqMQqf/s1600/FLORISH.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoAw4eatSltX2-tID1XfW0AGuT2QROL70JZACWNrH3vaHUnyYNCmeLWALSTw4997jvMM-K_YEPLga1CUKNndwEU33s5iOHCtfmkTG_Me28Ef-XBzkRnfGBrpYhwIafClAI6pVK52RqMQqf/s320/FLORISH.png" width="252" height="320" data-original-width="633" data-original-height="805" /></a></div><P>
<P>
<b>New Spin:</b><P>
<P>
Instead of inking your ripped edges, try leaving your ripped edges un-inked and inking your clean edges instead, using a color other than black or brown! The key is subtlety! You can see we added some faint pink inking to the edges of the pink paper here. It helps to add some depth to the paper without screaming “I’m distressed!”<P>
<P>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUZbrbbaNp0UotGBaSWEPJ-VTj5VC-gu-s_9VwfcwlBGQQbYEkSZDuTK266fCuYn9SXRTFuM1gylYKxbWrMoZB4yHWKH4J4RlO3EdCZHbKdt4FMH75yvzeTJGq9rQo5ihA9dMG79LNrx65/s1600/Happy.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUZbrbbaNp0UotGBaSWEPJ-VTj5VC-gu-s_9VwfcwlBGQQbYEkSZDuTK266fCuYn9SXRTFuM1gylYKxbWrMoZB4yHWKH4J4RlO3EdCZHbKdt4FMH75yvzeTJGq9rQo5ihA9dMG79LNrx65/s320/Happy.png" width="251" height="320" data-original-width="633" data-original-height="806" /></a></div><P>
<P>
<b>Old Technique:</b> <P>
<P>
Stippled titles. Remember this one? You’d spell out your title with stickers, make a million little dots over the stickers with a marker, and then peel off your stickers to reveal your finished title.<P>
<P>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBL_611EmA2pg2H4ge5hfUzDW4YeaJKRm9q7xt6wkE-PxqUkz-s-cP2wRKLu1GlNRvB06Z4riR_hKNjRj9LQs9d30DW2qgGJk2PfTeTis5gf6dEpDLXMYbIaqZf1Ytty8g8Tz87RbObbnm/s1600/EASTER.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBL_611EmA2pg2H4ge5hfUzDW4YeaJKRm9q7xt6wkE-PxqUkz-s-cP2wRKLu1GlNRvB06Z4riR_hKNjRj9LQs9d30DW2qgGJk2PfTeTis5gf6dEpDLXMYbIaqZf1Ytty8g8Tz87RbObbnm/s320/EASTER.png" width="318" height="320" data-original-width="633" data-original-height="637" /></a></div><P>
<P>
<b>New Spin:</b><P>
<P>
Watercolored titles. Instead of stippling over your stickers with a marker, paint over them with a wide paintbrush and some watercolor paint. We used this technique with a “hello” sticker from our <a href="https://lisafaris.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9804&ci=7907">Springtime Complements</a> to create the title below.<P>

<P>
Attach a large shape to the center of your base page. Then position your title and photos over this shape. Even if you have multiple photos (there are have five here!), your page will still feel like a cover page because the large shape in the background creates a central focus. Pretty neat trick, right? <P>
<P>
<b>Easy As 1-2-3!</b><P>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid3KgW1aIMUWCy_8JIOpTWyrUOe8dLuIvj40JXDp38WWq7qpWUL7X8O7SHFxVjfgOOhJNMuapY4ckKLx3goWHa1esWpxC4XU6M4ncgthz_DjyJ10CornJgnqV8gxC_2RUlqJ6ReO3A7a9B/s1600/6-14-17+Let%2527s+Go.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid3KgW1aIMUWCy_8JIOpTWyrUOe8dLuIvj40JXDp38WWq7qpWUL7X8O7SHFxVjfgOOhJNMuapY4ckKLx3goWHa1esWpxC4XU6M4ncgthz_DjyJ10CornJgnqV8gxC_2RUlqJ6ReO3A7a9B/s400/6-14-17+Let%2527s+Go.png" width="400" height="400" data-original-width="633" data-original-height="633" /></a></div><P>
<P>
Simply attach three photos horizontally across the center of your page. Then add your title directly above or below these photos. Three is the key here! It’s a balanced number that draws the eye in.<P>
<P>

<P>
When all else fails, find a photo that sums up your album, and center it on your page along with a prominent title.<P>
<P>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGDweOLIKNuil-IQxqxzp4hQlJcS7hWQq6u_bUs2LcvT9xfvRHXfVa8f-UbqoxzcgnyF9XEJpPiwOpUHMYWTUzo74cTmPO3BAibA-KNH0hKI4J0Xb0Mn5kS_ssi4IGnsmeUcvzdmeEHdc-/s1600/6-14-17+Graduate.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGDweOLIKNuil-IQxqxzp4hQlJcS7hWQq6u_bUs2LcvT9xfvRHXfVa8f-UbqoxzcgnyF9XEJpPiwOpUHMYWTUzo74cTmPO3BAibA-KNH0hKI4J0Xb0Mn5kS_ssi4IGnsmeUcvzdmeEHdc-/s400/6-14-17+Graduate.png" width="400" height="400" data-original-width="633" data-original-height="633" /></a></div><P>
<P>
One fun spin on this approach is to center your photo but then place the title on the left side of your page, either vertically or horizontally!<P>
<P>
Overall, the secret to creating a strong cover page is to draw the eye in to a central point with your pictures and title. If you keep that in mind, then you’re off to a great start!<P>
<P>
And while you’re working on your cover pages, be sure to grab some albums because they’re on a great sale! <a href="https://lisafaris.closetomyheart.com/">For the month of June, you can buy one album and then get a second one at half price!</a><P>

<P>
The weather was a little bit cooler this past weekend, and I was fortunate that I was able to spend some time with my Cricut Explore Air 2, and work on a project. I had been wanting to use the vinyl and make a sign for our front door, but just hadn't had the time.<P>
<P>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5LRc4K5G4XMQXiCZWbzNxH99NY0MeazscTIvBI1VW6XLMek07W_9CEHsp7wyEsJ3CoAA599RfYNYe0Apkt8lBug7qzAbB7jsxdrH9SVu-EP4c1hWk698s1UNafO6e0bHv8u438myUR9Cy/s1600/Full+door.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5LRc4K5G4XMQXiCZWbzNxH99NY0MeazscTIvBI1VW6XLMek07W_9CEHsp7wyEsJ3CoAA599RfYNYe0Apkt8lBug7qzAbB7jsxdrH9SVu-EP4c1hWk698s1UNafO6e0bHv8u438myUR9Cy/s400/Full+door.jpg" width="300" height="400" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div><P>
<P>
I started out by deciding on what my sign would say. Since it was going to be on the front door, I was deciding between "Welcome" or "Hello". I decided to go with Hello because it sounded friendlier to me.<P>
<P>
That was the easy part... deciding on a color was a much bigger challenge. I held all the vinyl colors up to the door and didn't really care for any of them against the wood grain color of the door. I finally just chose the light blue because it matched the house (light blue with white trim.)<p>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI1Op5rX0RB9LwXiQlm3UJaNzE8cahLImv3GSHfsL42jyUeW-0PK6QXQfUU1xSMic15NiR-XwblxUp_3EvqfGMS1g4XMh5DW6aoos5YQzAqNgM-4ctBpfH1xOp7diq4pubHZQ_umO39xGm/s1600/Close+up.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI1Op5rX0RB9LwXiQlm3UJaNzE8cahLImv3GSHfsL42jyUeW-0PK6QXQfUU1xSMic15NiR-XwblxUp_3EvqfGMS1g4XMh5DW6aoos5YQzAqNgM-4ctBpfH1xOp7diq4pubHZQ_umO39xGm/s400/Close+up.JPG" width="300" height="400" data-original-width="1200" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div><P>
<P>
It was so easy to play with different fonts and sized to get just the right look for my door. Design space lets you see exactly what it looks like on the screen and easily change it to try different things. Design Space works on a computer or tablet, so I used my Ipad to create this project. Design space is a free download from Cricut, that allows you to link your physical cartridges to your account and use them to design your projects. <a href="http://shrsl.com/?ig6a">Cricut Access</a> is a membership (starting at $4.99 a month) that is used in Design Space to access additional Cricut fonts and images to use for your projects. Check out all the Cricut Access Memberships and Features <a href="http://shrsl.com/?ig6a">HERE!</a><P>
<P>
I really love being able to log into Design Space and create my projects anytime or place I feel like it (as long as you have wifi or internet access.) I can save the projects and then cut them when I get home to my Cricut Machine.<p>

I forgot to show you the simple project I did about a week ago using the Cricit Iron-on Glitter. I purchased the new Cricut Shoulder Tote bag... which I absolutely LOVE! I know several people who already have these bags, and thought perhaps it needed a little personalizing, so I wouldn't lose it at a crop or event. A capital letter L should do the trick!<P>

We have two different styles of My Legacy™ albums. The photos above show our post-bound style. This style minimizes the gap in between your pages, so your scrapbook album looks professionally bound. The ends of the posts are hidden by the binding, and they feature easy-to-use handles for twisting open the posts and adding pages.<P>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvQ7UEg4qESIPKtea5FoG1MrAvjh8vDlGdEoSJ_wE4LMHDx2kdnpgHmMMeHBVgvDXx9HISVffK7CtN_wAbvOOfla74M3J4W-SEVDHHqx_Mk3YzGcktdoGA0MIzOFlLX5cif3rzvU8UlrTt/s1600/d-ring-binding-ctmh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvQ7UEg4qESIPKtea5FoG1MrAvjh8vDlGdEoSJ_wE4LMHDx2kdnpgHmMMeHBVgvDXx9HISVffK7CtN_wAbvOOfla74M3J4W-SEVDHHqx_Mk3YzGcktdoGA0MIzOFlLX5cif3rzvU8UlrTt/s400/d-ring-binding-ctmh.jpg" width="400" height="400" data-original-width="313" data-original-height="313" /></a></div><P>

Here’s our other style: D-ring! These albums are a great fit for those who want to be able to add pages quickly and easily. Some people like to use D-ring albums for storing their pages until they finish an album’s worth, and then they move all the pages into a post-bound album for permanent storage—and with our buy-one-get-one-half-off sale, it’s a great time to try this approach!<P>

While we’re on the topic of divided Memory Protectors, we have to mention <a href="https://lisafaris.closetomyheart.com/retail/search.aspx?searchvalue=pocket+plus">our Pocket Plus™ Memory Protectors</a>.

A few other noteworthy accessories….<a href="https://lisafaris.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8689&ci=6330">These are our spine expanders</a>. When you have layouts with lots of dimension in a post-bound album, you can get an album that looks like this: <. That’s because the part of your protector that holds your page onto the post is thinner than your dimensional page. Placing spine expanders between the pages of your album helps to even out the space so that your album will look more like this: =. It’s a quick fix that makes a world of a difference!<P>

<P>
For post-bound albums with fewer pages, we recommend <a href="https://lisafaris.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8689&ci=6330">these 1″ posts</a>. These posts will slim down the spine and allow your pages to be held more snugly between the covers of your album.<P>
<P>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT1tBFisZpjlkVhuxk__4qIj-j7uJELFAkyDWvNjKt2t2_GAq2tua4EyXmWMh7IN71_B9J36RdmqyOAGaTzbIGQWpMuLwk8eBG80GCmesBoA4lLrcyw5IzwHdeeJosXkBRBgWdQ4VHxtis/s1600/spine+tab.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT1tBFisZpjlkVhuxk__4qIj-j7uJELFAkyDWvNjKt2t2_GAq2tua4EyXmWMh7IN71_B9J36RdmqyOAGaTzbIGQWpMuLwk8eBG80GCmesBoA4lLrcyw5IzwHdeeJosXkBRBgWdQ4VHxtis/s400/spine+tab.png" width="300" height="400" data-original-width="633" data-original-height="844" /></a></div><P>
<P>
Finally, add an identifier to the spine of your album with one of our <a href="https://lisafaris.closetomyheart.com/retail/search.aspx?searchvalue=label+holder">label holders</a>. These fit both album styles and are a great way to distinguish your albums from one another—especially if you have a lot together on a shelf!<P>
