Artbooking "FOLLOW YOUR HEART" Mini Album

Hi Friends,

We created a really fun and fabulous mini album at our CTMH Annual Convention in June.  We were the lucky consultants who got to create with the new CTMH Cricut Artbooking Collection before it's release.  This collection will be available here in just two days on August 1.  Here are the photos of the mini album - Enjoy!
