Cricut Cartridge Storage

2008-12-31T23:45:00.004-06:00

I received this wonderful snapware container as a White Elephant gift at the IA Swarm. I finally have had time to cut down my plastic canvas and make the dividers for the container. It was tedious but I did get it done! This is certainly going to help me simplify my life in 2009! I do need to add onto this container so I have more room for books and overlays. I do however have plenty of room for more cartriges! HINT HINT! I will be labeling the tops of my cartridges too!

If you would like instructions on this check out the cricut forum here: http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.aspx?m=3433071&mpage=1

New Years Resolution

2008-12-31T23:33:00.003-06:00

In 2009 I resolve to be more organized! This cart my Mil and Fil gave me for Christmas will be a great start!

Also I plan to follow Ali Edwards suggestion. On Ali's blog she talked about choosing a word that you would like to focus on for the year 2009 .

http://aliedwards.typepad.com/_a_/2008/12/one-little-wo-1.html

I chose simplify.

sim⋅pli⋅fy [sim-pluh-fahy]
verb (used with object), -fied, -fy⋅ing.
to make less complex or complicated; make plainer or easier: to simplify a problem.

Twas the night before Christmas (for Scrappers)

2008-12-23T12:55:00.000-06:00

Twas the night before Christmas, I'm glued to the tree. I'm wondering what Santa brought just for me. Could it be cardstock or chipboard or lace? Or a Cricut, I said, with a smile on my face. And that's when I heard him, "Hi Santa, " I said "You know....good little girls should be in their beds." "I know I should Santa, and now I've got caught. But I was just so excited To see what you brought." "Well, let's take a look in this room where you work. He shook his head quickly, And left with a jerk. I heard him exclaim as he put it in gear. "You've got enough crap, I'll see you next year!"

A New Hobby

2008-12-20T23:08:00.004-06:00

I saw on an online friend's (Robyn) blog http://thepinkstamper.blogspot.com/ that she sometimes made her own bracelets. She inspired not only me but my daughter to learn how to make bracelets. Today I made one for my 95 yr old Grandma upon her request for a bracelet with blue beads. I also made one for my daughter's stocking even though she has not believed for yrs! As she saw me making it she said "OHHHHHHH I want that!" I said it is "Mine!" She begged and pleaded and even counted out $10.00 worth of money from her piggy bank!! I finally caved and said it is yours I was going to put it in your stocking! So now she has a new bracelet! Hers has shades of blue, pink and purple. (the top picture) Thanks to Robyn for inspiring us!

Angel's among us?

2008-12-01T23:12:00.002-06:00

This is my second Christmas without my Aunt Sharon. As I decorate our home for Christmas I am reminded of her over and over. So many things I decorate with were gifts from her. Tonight as I opened yet another box of Christmas decorations I saw it. The Angel tree topper my Aunt had given me years ago. I always thought it looked a little like her.

As I began to clean up from my night of decorating I saw the plastic container that my husband had found downstairs. A container I had not laid eyes on for some time. As I opened this container I saw it! The wicker mini picnic basket that she had given me filled with recipe cards for our wedding. I had kept the cards in the kitchen with her recipes but had lost track of this recipe box. I was sooooo happy to have found it! Over the next few days I will post my Aunt's recipes.

Giving Tree

2008-11-12T22:47:00.003-06:00

My son's school is putting up a "Giving Tree" the idea is if you would like to buy a gift for a classroom then you can take a tag from the tree. The tag will have the teacher's name and one item from his/her wishlist. For example: Puzzles

I volunteered to help with this and to make the tags. Here are 13 of my 16 prototypes. I need to make 160 of these!! I used my cricut and design studio (for ease) and the Christmas Cheer catridge.

Scraplifted from Monique Griffith

2008-07-06T23:59:00.003-05:00

I saw this post on the cricut forum and just knew I had to scraplift this layout! I spent a good portion of my day on this. Monique is going to email the instructions but I got started and could not stop to wait. LOL! http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.aspx?m=2493069&mpage=1&key=�

Working ahead

2008-07-06T23:52:00.003-05:00

My friend Kristi commented that she was going to work ahead on some pages so she can just put the pictures in when ready. Well that was all the motivation I needed! I made up these on Saturday. I am not 100% sure I care for them. I need to embellish them and hopefully after adding pictures I will like them better? I got all of my layout ideas from www.pagemaps.com Most of the paper I used was from the new Martha Stewart line at Walmart and some of it was from Archivers or Creative Memories.

2008-07-02T21:03:00.002-05:00

I saw the directions for this at Splitcoast Stampers. I have been wanting to try one and finally got around to doing so today. I used my 12 in. straight cutter, my scorer, scrapbook paper, ribbon, scrapbook adhesive and my bags tags boxes and more cartridge with my cricut to make the tag. I then stamped the tag with the word "celebrate"

My wish list...

2008-06-28T15:22:00.004-05:00

What shoes are you?

2008-05-28T10:09:00.002-05:00

You Are Flip Flops

You are laid back and very friendly.

Cheery and sunny in disposition, you usually have something to smile about.

Style is important to you, as long as you can stay casual.

It takes a lot to get you to dress up!

You are a loyal and true person, though you can be a bit of a flake.

You tend to "play hooky" and blow off responsibilities a lot more than most people.

You should live: By the beach

You should work: At a casual up and coming company

What Kind of Shoe Are You?

I just read my friend Kristi's blog and had to do the what shoes are you quiz too! I think it pretty much sums me up!

Graduation Card

2008-05-22T21:50:00.002-05:00

This is the card I made for our neighbor girl who also use to babysit for us.
Our school colors are black and silver. I used The new arrival cricut cartridge to cut the "congratulations" out. I used my crop a dile to make punch holes in the bottoom of the card and then threaded a ribbon through. And last but not least I topped it off with a clear skittle.

Revenge of some sort

2008-04-18T09:17:00.002-05:00

The "magazine cover" below is my nephew who I am trying to get some sort of revenge on. For April Fools this year he had my sister text me and my other sister telling us we are going to be Great Aunts. Mike is freshly out of college and not in a relationship. I called him to offer congratulations and a shoulder if he needed it. Mike played along with his joke and went on that he did not know what he was going to do etc and sounded sooo depressed! For that I give him "Player" of the year. LOL! If there were such a magazine he would most definetly be on the cover. Cograts Mike! I am not done with you yet!
