Cricut Book Organization

Hi there, I wanted to share a organization project that I found on Pinterest. You can find the tutorial here , I just used Photo boxes from Michael's Instead. The plastic boxes in the tutorial are from Staples and are too expensive for me at $11.99 each. The boxes at M's were $1.84 after tax and my moms teacher discount. What a deal. I had to use 6 boxes to accommodate the 231 cartridges I own.
  I also used plain card stock to make the file folders and the tabs. In the process of organizing my Cricut Booklets in alphabetical order, I found that I am missing 18 cartridges. This sickens me but, It's my own fault for not writing down who I lent them too. I call it a hard and expensive lesson learned.
 Here is a close up of 1 box (below)

  I hope you like my post today. It took me about 2 weeks  to complete this project and well worth the work. I am now using more carts than before. I would have to sneak in my daughters room at night and get my totes out from under her bed while she is asleep. Now I have the books in my craft room and the carts in my Gypsy. Much easier for me.

      Thank you for stopping by and visiting me. I would really love to hear your comments and suggestions.

Cricut Challenge 21

Happy Sunday to you all, I hope your enjoying this crazy weather we are having. Yesterday I had a little time to craft, in between laundry and taking care of my kids. This week I made a layout , that I have been meaning to do for a long time. In January of 2010 we went to Bartstow California to visit my husbands Uncle Rex and Aunt Alice. Well they have lots of boy toys and my son was in heaven. So we took him out to the back yard to let him try out all the tractors. Well Corrina had to get in the action too. So I got some great pics of both of them playing with the tractors.
  This first L/O above is of Corrina.

This L/O above is of Anthony and Uncle Rex. I really like how this second L/O came out. I might just have to redo Corrina's a bit. 

The cart I used is Boys Will Be Boys

I also Used Tim Holtz Gear die

 I recently got a new machine called Pazzles. Which I absolutely LOVE. So I will be posting projects from both my Cricut and Pazzles. This decal above I cut using the Pazzles. A few of my fellow Jeepers went to MOAB for the annual Easter Jeep Safari. We could not go :(.  But they took lots of pictures and share it with our R-Jeeps Facebook page. So it was like we were there with them.
 Well They couldn't find a decal in MOAB that they liked, so they asked me if I could make one for them. Well this is what I made and they liked it.  I just love working with Vinyl, I especially love seeing my work on several Jeeps around the Las Vegas Valley. I am hoping that some day I will have a small Vinyl Decal business going. I know I am on the right track.



  Thank you for stopping by, see you next week.

P.S. I love you Rex My wonderful Husband, without your support I would not be here posting my crafts. You're the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Decal for Eddie O.

 A good friend of ours, asked me if I could make him a specific decal. I told him I could try and to send me a picture of what he wanted. So he sent me a picture ( the first one on this post). Wow, I thought, I don't have that image on a cartridge. But I tried to make it anyway. So I used several images and welded them together and this is what  I made. I think its very close. The long teeth believe it or not is the number 1 from Happy Hauntings Cricut Cartridge, The skull is from Indie Art Cartridge,The crack in the skull on top is the lightning bolt from the Cars Cartridge, The Horns are from the Old West Cartridge. I welded all the images together, except for the lightning bolt. It amazes me what you can do with the Gypsy, if you just put you mind to it. Thanks Eddie for challenging me on this decal. I hope you like it.
