Get Organized Cricut Crawl

Pin It

First off let me start by apologizing for not getting this up on time. This is my first Cricut Crawl as a design team member and I got a bit confused. I love all the comments that were left for my address book (thank you!) but this is actually my get organized project!!

 

 

I usually host an annual swap with some of my online friends and fellow DT members over at ST. And this year was no exception. We each make up our months layouts and then they send them to me and I add a calendar grid and bind them all. This year I made 5 of the months using the help of my Cricut. So let's check them out below!!

 

 I used Designer's Calendar for the name of my Month. And various papers and supplies I had on hand.

 

 Here I used Nate's ABC for the month and George to cut my stars.

 

 September I used Locker Talk for my cute scissors and pencil!!

 

 For October I used Designer's Claendar again. Sorry but my friend cut out the spider and web from her Revolution for me.

 

And lastly November uses Designer's Calendar and Pooh and Friends for the leaves.

 

And here is a finished Calendar page!! Thanks so much for checking out my project!!

 

We'd love to have you join us in our get organized challenge this week, I'm so glad you stopped in today!! Now enough of my project, here's some more info on the hop!!!

 

Here's how the Crawl will work:

2. There will be prizes along the way at some of the Design Team blogs, so be sure to check out the goodies up for grabs! *You must meet the Design Team members' stated criteria to be eligible for the individual prizes. Please see each DT member's blog for details and directions.*

3. There will also be one GRAND PRIZE at FCCB!! That prize will be awarded to a participant that meets the challenge criteria and posts a link to their project on the FCCB Blog, drawn randomly by Random.org. Just like every other Challenge Me Monday.

Altered Address Book

I talked about this earlier and finally got a few photos to share. I ordered this address book from Oriental Trading Company and altered it using more pieces of this StorytellersClub Kit. I really love how it looks.

 

You know it is funny because my hubby said I am the only person in the world that uses a phone book! LOL! Whatever I think they are a treasure!!

Holiday Gifts

This year money has been really tight for my family so many of my gifts have been handmade by me. I have been busy creating things for the special people in my life for the past 3 weeks! And I can finally share them with you!

 

Most of the gals in the family are getting journals.

 

 

I used StorytellersClub kits to create these for each of their personalities. I hope they love them!

 

My parents are all getting Calendars (which will be a future post) and the guys are getting bags of their favorite candy (which will come in a future post as well). But our Mimi (Grandma) well I made her something extra special to put on her fridge.

 

 

I found this magnet frame a while ago at the 99cent store and turned it into this! Cool huh?

 

Well that is it for me tonight. Please come back to see the other gifts I have been busy creating. The Calendar is one you won't wanna miss!!

Jingle Bells

Last week over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog, the challenge was to use bells. So for my inspirational Design Team Member Project I created this simple yet stunning two page layout.

 

 

I decided to use the Tis the Season Cartridge from Creative Memories. I really love this cart!

Much of my supplies used were just items I have had laying around in my stash.

 



 

 You can visit the FCCB Blog and check out their weekly challenges on Mondays!! They are super fun and I love that it gets me using my Cricut! I had never cute either of these images out before and honestly don't know why!! Love them!

 

 

Also super excited that my layout was feaatured again on the FCCB for Scrappin Saturday!!
