DECEMBER CRICUT CRAFT ROOM CONTEST!

2012-01-09T08:55:00.001-08:00

Weekly Challenge #48: Creative Resolutions for 2012 Challenge!

2012-01-02T20:40:00.000-08:00

The Challenge: Whenever the New Year rolls around, we tend to do a little self-evaluation and decide what we want to do differently in the year to come. For the challenge this week, we want you to think about your CREATIVE resolutions and record them in some way. Do you want to stretch your creativity in new ways? Maybe you want to try a new hobby or learn something new. Maybe you want to simplify. Whatever it is, get those goals down on paper!

The Cricut cartridges have so many cuts and it always amazes me there are so many I didn't know existed. I'll see a project on the MB and when the person lists the carts used, I usually have them and was clueless. I decided to make a notebook to keep on my craft table to refer to when I am searching for a new idea. I know I could use the computer, but this will be tailored to my needs and I can quickly flip through it. January is a quiet craft month for me, so my goal is to collect all my notes, and to go through the handbooks, to list cartridges in different categories. There is plenty of room in my notebook to add more categories. Also, I have made a pocket to keep notes until I can categorize them. Cartridges: Simply Charmed (Notes), Sophie, (butterfly), From My Kitchen, (tabs). The Cuttlebug folder has given in Swap bags from the Utah Swarm.

Our cats as kittens loved the box that I received my Cricut Expression. They would have the paper all over the floor for me to pick up, but it was fun to watch them having a good time. (I kept telling myself that as I was constantly picking it up.)For the bug, I included a butterfly and of course the Cricut bug and other Cricut cuts are the heart, tag with cat's name, cat face, and the title. These challenges are really helping me get pictures scrapped that have been sitting in a box.
