It’s been a while since I had a chance to make a scrapbook layout, which is sad because scrapbooking is my passion for paper crafting. I really should scrapbook more! For this layout, I used the New Bits and Pieces Cricut cartridge. This cartridge has a lot of great, simple images, making it ideal for layouts. Especially when you think about how much time goes into a layout. I have spent 3+ hours on one layout, so the ability to make something this adorable this quickly is great for me. Check out our latest prices on the Cricut Explore Air.

• The filmstrip banner is patterned cardstock cut 4” wide, and I made it about 11.5” tall.
• The hot air balloons are 3.50” and 4.75”.
• The clouds at 1.25”, 1.5”, 1.75”, and 2”
• The banner is 1.70”.
• Each of the picture spots is for a 4” x 6” photo, and the large one on the first page is for a 5” x 7” photo.

The Hot Air Balloon Text is from Nifty Fifties Cricut cartridge.

This layout was pretty simple, but I think it turned out super cute, I can’t wait to get my picture in place. Of course, the Explore electronic cutter made it all so easy.

Have you had a chance to make anything with this cartridge yet? If so, I would love to see your Cricut cartridge ideas, so please share them with me on the Paper Crafting Fanatics Google+ Page or on our Facebook page. If you haven’t had a chance to use this cartridge yet, share another scrapbook layout with me. I would love to see what you are all making. Save on this and other Cricut supplies online.

Happy creating!
