What did the Holidays bring for me and my crafting?


This Holiday Season I received an Original Chic Pink Flirty Apron (no more glitter all over my shirt), the Paisley Cricut Cartridge, a 18x24 Fiskars Self-Healing Cutting Mat (no more combining mats to make sure I don't cut off the mat), a Zutter Bind-It-All V2.0 and Zutter DreamKuts, Sixxix Texture Boutique, and a Xyron 250.

What did the Holidays bring for you and your crafting?


Until next time!

2010 Calendar COMING SOON


To create this I used a set of Bo Bunny Binder Chipboard Refill Pages, a variety of paper lines including Bo Bunny, AC, Bazzill, and generic cardstock for the background and page pieces. On one side of the Calendar are the months January-June, the other side shows July-December. For the actual calendar cutouts I used my Cricut Expression and the Designer Calendar Cartridge. It is my first attempt at a Calendar and I'm satisfied with it. My parents were already putting in their orders when I was on February. It was a bit crazy trying to finish it before January 1, 2010.

A little teasers for now:

More photos to come once the project is complete...

Maybe next year I will get more adventurous and open up the project to more than just 1 Cricut Cartridge.

I will say that using my Gypsy helped this project move along quicker. I started by making the individual cuts straight from my Cricut Expression to make sure I was getting what I wanted. Then after making the January page I turned to the Gypsy to make the Templates for the rest of the Calendar. I just needed to change the month and then cut!


Until next time!

Recipe Book


This project was created with a Bo Bunny Class Kit.

Included with the kit was:
* 1 set of Bo Bunny Binder Chipboard Refill Pages
* A set of the Kitchen Spice Paper Collection

I also purchased coordinating stickers and embelishments.

This was actually my 2nd project I began working on but it took a bit longer than some of the others because I needed to have my boyfriend out of our shared office so I could complete it (it was a gift for him).

Now he just needs to add in his favorite recipes!

UPDATED: My Scraproom


During my Holiday Break I decided to update my Scap-area. Since Santa brought my daughter a new desk that I was able to move into her room, I was able to grow a bit more in my shared Scraproom without having to nicely kick out my boyfriend!

After much work and frustration (on my boyfriends part) this is how my Scraproom ended up:

To acomplish this new look I picked up a few more of the Simply Built Scrapbook Storate Cubes from Michael's for 55% off on Thanksgiving. I was able to make a 2nd desk space for myself and declutter my previous working space (my lovely desk setup from IKEA). Now I have a section to work on plus it houses my Cricut Expression (I seem to use this with every project so I needed it close) and YourStory (I still haven't put this to use but plan to in the near future), both by Provo Craft. My 2nd desk space now holds some more papers, YourStory books and lamination sheets, Zutter Bind-It-All, Zutter DreamKuts, Sizzix Texture Boutique, and a miniature sewing machine that I have yet to use on my pages. I am very delighted with my new space.

Please feel free to share your comments!
