Weekly Challenge #56: Teachers Rock Challenge!

The Challenge: Create a project of your choice using primary colors. Enhance your Cricut cuts using chalk.

I altered a notebook that I bought for 1.00 at Craft Warehouse for my grandson's teacher. Cartridges used: Simply Charmed, Locker Talk and Makin' the Grade. #1 Teacher is chalked with blue chalk.

Magazine Sketch Challenge!

I used the sketch by Susan Neal to make St. Patrick's Day Treat bags and filled them with See's Chocolate Coins and Lindor White Chocolate Truffles. The Pot of Gold is from Simply Charmed cut at 1" and Rainbow from Hello Kitty cut at 1 1/2". I need to buy more candy before I can stuff the rest of the treat bags.

Weekly Challenge #48: Creative Resolutions for 2012 Challenge!

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 was in Swag bags from the Utah Swarm.
