New Organization for the Cricut

Posted on February 9th, 2010

Have you seen what Scrapcessories showed at CHA?

ScrapCessories introduces the most innovative storage system for scrapbook accessories. The modular system combines the unique clear plastic Caddy Case with inserts designed to hold your most popular accessories. The cartridge tray holds 8 Cricut brand cartridges along with room for 8 books and overlays behind. The patent pending tray allows for easy viewing of the cartridges through the front of the box making storage and retrieval fast and easy. Caddy cases are stackable and with the use of the “Stack-n-Strap” accessory, 3 caddy cases can be securely strapped together for convenient transport to your next crop. Additional inserts coming soon: the Ribbon Rack holds and organizes spools of ribbons. All inserts fit into the Caddy Case. The Caddy Case features:

  • Holds 8 Cartridges with books and overlays.
  • Easily view cartridges.
  • Space Saving - 9.5″w x 5″h x 5″d
  • Stackable using the Stack-n-Strap!
  • NEW!! Innovative tray guides allows you to position the tray anywhere in the box or even add multiple trays in one box!
  • Another 25% off Make The Cut

    Bee Happy Kit by Monique Griffith

    Posted on February 3rd, 2010

    If you haven’t seen Monique Griffith’s page kits, you are in for a treat!

    Click on her logo to visit her blog and see all of her kits. One thing to note is that her kits come with the details of what to cut, but not the actual diecuts-so you will need to own or have access to the carts.

    Here is a pic of her latest kit called BeeHappy. If you are interested grab it quick because this is a limited edition kit and she won’t be making any more once they are sold out.

    Dolls from a Kid’s Perspective

    Posted on January 25th, 2010

    I have been busy, busy today with the Cricut. What have I been making you ask? Not anything for me (sniffle sniffle), but my step daughter Cali and her half sister Gabi begged for some Cricut time. So, I took over the kitchen table for two days. They love cutting animals, but then they decided on some dolls. Here are the pics of the dolls we made. They are 11″ tall. You wouldn’t think it would take that long to cut the pieces, but it felt like forever today! Each one told me what colors and exactly how they wanted it cut. I was just the cutter lady today:) They are now proudly hanging on the outside of the closet door. Introducing our beautiful dolls designed by a 7 and 8 year old.

If you have not updated to this version, you’ll need to go ahead and download the update. Everyone else will only need to download the “font pack” which will add the new Cake Basics cartridge and the Once Upon a Princess cartridge.

    Making Cakes with the Cricut

    Posted on January 23rd, 2010

    cake decorating with cricut

    Sometime back I saw a video on how to decorate cakes with your Cricut. (You can check out the video by clicking HERE) Well, I guess Provocraft liked the idea too because they have just announced a cake decorating cartridge bundled with an expression. If you are interested, go to the Cricut website. When you see the banner above, click on it. It will have a place for you to enter your email to be notified when it is ready.

    I don’t decorate cakes, but know several people who do. I can’t wait to see the neat things people come up with. The only problem would be actually eating it once you spent all of that time on it!
