I've been awarded My Blog Has Attitude Award

Ms_Dee from dees-specialthings.blogspot.com awarded me My Blog Has Attitude Award.  Thank You Ms_Dee for chosing me.

Now to mention 3 things that make me totally different from anyone else.
Wow this is a tough one.

1. I have been a crafter all my life. In my younger days I was a wood crafter. I focused on home decor items. Some of the wood crafts I made were a wishing well, Goose pulling a wagon, a nativity barn. All were hand painted or stained.

2. When I was younger and raising my family money was tight. I made all the christmas ornaments for our christmas tree. I crocheted snowflakes,bells and wreaths. I also made my own plastic canvas ornaments. These ornaments still decorate my tree and I made so many there is enough to decorate my daughters tree as well.

3. I am a collector of angels. I love going to flee markets and antique shops looking for angels of all kinds.

Now to choose 5 other bloggers to award.

1.  Sandy - From Details by Sandy
2. Tracy - From Trace Elementz
3. Nadia - From With Glittering Eyes
4. Kristy - From Craftin On My Door
5. Eileen - From Dropped Stitches

I love visiting these blogs and being inspired by their creations.

Christmas Card For Craig

I made this Christmas Card for my son Craig in 2009. He Loved it and saved it.
He thought it was so cool. This is number 3 on the list of cards never posted before.

I used the negative from the deer I used to make Craig's Birthday Card for his Christmas Card.

I used the Martha Stewart Village punch for the border.

Birthday Card For Craig

I made this card for my son Craig's birthday when he turned 25. He Love it. He told me this one I'm saving. It made my heart smile when he said that.

New Cartridge Storage Idea

.

Well It's the New Year and I have been doing some organizing. I just finished organizing my cartridges.
I did a spin off of an idea from Okieladybug (a lady from the Cricut MB). Here's what I came up with.

                           

This is a 12.7 QT. / 12L Sterilite Container that I purchased from Walmart.

I love the closer on this lid. You just lift up and snap on the lid.

I made Cricut Cartridge accordian envelopes

This is the inside view. The Cartridge, Overlay and Book Fit inside.

I like the convience of having all my cartridges together with the books and overlays.

These are the directions for making the accordian envelope.

I didn't score the sides, I just found it easier to fold it after I put it together.

I have them all Indexed in Alpabetical order.

 I have all my seasonal cartridges in one container.

I have 27 cartridges per container.

I used George And Basic Shapes and From My Kitchen Cartridges.

I made up an MS Excel File to label the cartridge tabs.

I made that file into a pdf to share.

Happy Crafting!

Rockin Around The Christmas Tree Card

This was made with the Imagine Snow Angel Cartridge and Shall We Dance Cartridge.

The dress was designed on the Gypsy.

This is for a challenge of having 9 items on the project and 2 cricut cuts.

There are 9 branches on the tree. I hope that qualifies.

I used Pearl Winter WhiteTulip Paint to accent the dress.

The dress is from Forever Young Cartridge. 4 of them were welded together to create the fullness.
