Cricut Cartridge Organization by Beth

Something I LOVE is organizing, and finding pieces that are fashionable + timeless, efficient and portable, especially for my craft supplies.

I found a cosemetics valet at Target for $17.00, and thought the 3 zippered pockets with the clear were spacious enough for several cartridges, and they can also fit upwards to 10 keypads, too. The bottom, cubed pocket is holding 7 or 8 of my booklets and 13-14 of the keypads, and there is still extra space.

Can't wait to get all of those Cricut boxes out of my home-hooray for space saving!

Organized Diva!

A Doodlebug Christmas

Here are my Doodlebug Christmas Cards--I got the paper at Scrapfest this past fall, and used basic design elements of some of the coordinating papers, some glittery foam trees from the craft store and cardstock.







As you can tell...I didn't make enough to send to my whole card list...but I am all ready for Christmas 2011! Just wait :)

Photo Tray

The "hot gift" to make from Archivers this past year has been a printer's tray, designed by 7 Gypsies. Erik's grandpa worked for the Burlington Northern, and during the summers, he would visit and stay in his boxcar. I used Picasa to work with the photos, went to thrift stores to aquire Scrabble tiles + adhered them with E500 glue + photos are adhered with adhesive squares.

Full tray, with 6-4x6's:

Easy Projects

Some of the projects I have been working on lately! Grand Finale project coming soon....

Customizable Christmas Gift Tags

This is fun-and I saw it in someone else's blog-I used my Cricut and the George Cartridge to cut some tag shapes, but you could design your own shape or trace. Then, I went to the garage to spray paint with Chalkboard Paint, let it dry, and then drew designs with chalk. The recipient could erase and use it again!





Every kitchen needs a kitty to watch over it...



Super Easy
Went to Marshall's for a $5.00 frame, and glued tiles on to customize!





Fun with Scrabble Tiles

Just a simple wooden dollar frame modge podged on, embellished with butterflies and Scrabble tiles. More ribbon and embellishments to come!



Merry Christmas from the cats :)
