Baby Mini Book







March SPRING CLEANING CONTEST!

How do you store your Cuttlebug Folders, Cartridges, Paper and Ribbon… not to mention your favorite Cricut tools?? We want to see it… and so does everyone else that needs some inspiration!!

CONTEST RULES: This is easy… just submit your one of a kind storage idea and it must involve at least 4 Cricut items.


March SPRING CLEANING CONTEST!

This challenge is to show how I store Cricut cartridges, juke box, Solutions cartridges and handbooks. I like to store my carts by type. On the top self are the cake, MS, Lites, Disney and Solutions cartridges. Since the self is deep, I store supplies, I don't use often-large Xyron. The next two shelves, I store the Image cartridges and behind them are Xyron tape and the seasonal full content cartridges: Halloween and Christmas. The 3rd shelf are the Classmates and Font Cartridges. Behind them are the Juke Box, in the green box are the seasonal Solutions Cartridges and on top of the Juke Box are handbooks. Before I use to store the carts in drawers, but I like this shelf idea much better, because I can see all my carts and they are easy to access. Also, behind the carts is a lot of space for storage.

The Challenge: Create a layout featuring an everyday topic or create a “Just Because” card. Must include 2 Cricut Cuts.

For this challenge I used pictures of our pond lilies "just because" of their beauty. We enjoy sitting by the pond with our coffee during the warm mornings. Even during the cold mornings, we can still admire them through the slider. I used 3 Cricuts cuts: the flowers and title.

Loving these challenges to get these pictures scrapbooked. There are so many and I was so overwhelmed, but I'll get them finished one challenge at a time.

FEBRUARY MONTHLY CHALLENGE: CHILDREN AT PLAY!


Create a project (other than a layout or card) for a child using your Cricut machine. Project ideas include, but aren’t limited to: Gift item, toy, organizing solution, chore chart, item for schoo., stationery set, etc. Project must include atleast 2 different Cricut Image Cuts.

For this challenge I made a Tic Tac Toe board using a Easter theme. The title is from Doodletype and bunnies and chicks from Easter Solutions Cart. I used a 12X12 picture frame with a clear calendar sheet (to replace the glass) and a magetic sheet for the game board. The game pieces are magnetic so they stick to the board.
