Hello Kitty Friends Scrapbook Album

A few weeks ago I came across a scrapbooking blog that I instantly fell in love with, bugjunkie.blogspot.com. Bug Junkie does some beautiful work and creations using the Cricut. Next thing I knew I was on YouTube watching all of her videos.

I found myself on the treadmill watching the videos and losing track of time. She has a series of videos that shows how to use The Design Studio with your Cricut. I was hooked and knew I needed this. I first tried the demo version to see if it was user friendly...and yes, it was! I made a shaped book using the trial version, but I was limited. So, I bought the full version of The Design Studio and I've been locked in my scrap house since.

Using The Design Studio, the Cricut, and my computer I was able to design the cutest Hello Kitty shaped scrapbook album. All I needed was lots of chipboard, tons of card stock and patterned paper, ribbon, rhinestones, a whole lot of adhesive, plenty of time, and an abundance of patience. I love, love, love the finished product.




It's this just adorable? Lots of texture and 3 dimensional stuff going on here.



There are 22 pages of cuteness and approximately 66 places for pictures from 3x3 to 5x7.






The zebra printed paper is velvety in texture. The cool combination of pink, red, black, and white is so trendy and fun.






There is a combination of slider cards, trifolds, pockets, tags, books, and photo mats.






It was a blast putting this together. I love my Cricut even more now and The Design Studio...I don't know how I lived without it all this time.














Now to move on to some other shaped books that I've designed. My next one is a Mickey Mouse album.

Thanks for looking!
Happy scrapping,
Marlo
