Car Show Layout Using CTMH Urban

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking through my links. 


Here's another masculine layout using the CTMH Urban paper packet from the current CTMH Annual Inspirations Idea Book.

 I went with a very simple layout and only used a bit of Shimmer Trim for embellishment.  I choose to highlight a few pictures taken at a local car show that is held here every Spring.



I used Whisper cardstock as my base with patterned cardstock from the Urban paper packet with a little bit of Bronze Shimmer Trim as a border.  I sponged the edges of the Saffron photo mats with Desert Sand Ink.


I created my page title using a cut from the Nifty Fifties Cricut cartridge using Saffron and Slate cardstock.  I used a pen in my Cricut Explore to write the title with the Everyday Fonts - Big Day font in my Cricut Access subscription.  I was originally going to cut out the title and have black cardstock show through but the letters were tiny so I switched to the writing feature instead.

Thirteen exclusive new fonts were added with the introduction of Cricut Accesslast week, along with new images also exclusive to Cricut Access.  

I love the writing feature in Cricut Design Space and that I can use pens with my Cricut Explore
I can't wait to use some these new fonts with my pens to journal on my scrapbook pages.   

Great new images were also added to Cricut Access™ - I noticed right away that some of these will go perfectly with some pages that I am working on. 



Items included in the Cricut Access™ subscription are now marked with an icon to make them easy to find in Design Space.

Look for the green Access™ icon to find projects and images included in Cricut Access™.

Design Space Images - images included have the green icon to the left of the image. 



Make It Now Section: Cricut Access™ images are highlighted with green Accessicon.


  I love that I can now see what is included with the Cricut Access™ subscription.  I was able to quickly choose a font for this tag by looking for fonts that had the Access™ icon.
