Fabulous Find's Folders Cont...

I'm not done yet but here is a picture of what I've done so far. I have about 10 more to do, but these folders are great, I can get to the cartridge and overlay in one spot. I trimmed the solution cartridges so they would fit into the folders, as you can see I trimmed the mini's too. Oh and the cardstock I used is Martha Stewart's 120 pack from Michaels, I got this on clearance for $14.99 and a 20% off coupon, I love this cardstock it's very sturdy and it cuts out great.

Cricut Cartridge, Handbook and Overlay Folder

I received my rewards cartridge today, Fabulous Finds. I wanted to get this one for awhile but I kept putting it off. Well I think I'm really going to like it a lot. I have been keeping my cartridges in one box and my handbooks and overlays in another, the orginal boxes just take up to much space. While I was waiting for my cartridge I created this folder to hold the cartridge, handbook and overlays together this way I can keep them all in one box. I love it! I'm adding the file if anyone would like it. After it's cut out I folded the folder on it's score lines, I was going to add score lines 1/2 inch from the ones the folder had but it's just as easy to measure and score on my scoring board, plus I really don't like the score lines. So score 1/2 out from the ones that are on the cutout.

The little piece of cardstock is for the cricut cartridge so it doesn't slide down to the bottom of the folder. I want to be able to get it without digging down the folder. I scored that at 1 1/2", 2", 3 1/2" and 4", I glue the last 1/2".

Just tuck that down to the bottom right of the folder and the cricut cartridge sits on it nicely. Here is what it looks like...


Hoping to get a Gypsy, but this will do for the time being. Here is the file:

Christmas Came and Went

Well December was busy but wonderful like always. I can't believe Christmas is over, but it was a good day. Everyone liked their presents!!! I received 6 cartridges, lucky me, I have such a wonderful family, each of my boys gave me one and my husband gave me two. So my library of cartridges are really growing. One of the cartridge I received was Sweet Treats, after looking at it I wasn't sure it was for me, but I'm in this lollipop flower swap over at Two Peas and one of the flower cuts on the cartridge is great for this. So I think I will be using this cartridge a lot, I love making flowers. Here are pictures of the flowers I made with it.

Peachy Keen Challenge #17

For this weeks Peachy Keen Challenge, http://peachykeenstampschallenge.blogspot.com/2009/12/peachy-keen-stamps-challenge-17.html, you have to use the following:

polka dot(s)

a border

stripe(s)

stamped image(s)

I made another tri fold shutter card using PK-015 Hildebrandt Hearts, which I just received today in the mail. They are adorable, I also bought PK-229 Funny Flowers, I can't wait to use them. The only thing I used the cricut for was the frosty kisses from Winter Woodland and the ovals that the stamps are on from Plantin Schoolbook. I used my new prismacolor pencils, still trying to get the hang of them with the mineral spirits. I have to work on that.
