Cricut Cartridge List by Joy’s Life

Posted on February 27th, 2010

joys life

Just wanted to share a blog with you. Joy from Joy’s Life has a complete list of Cricut Cartridges that are available or have been announced. It has a neat selection feature where you can print out what you check-like what you have or want, etc.  I’m sure you will enjoy browsing the rest of her blog as well.

I have preordered the Princess Cart and should be getting it soon. So excited! Check in with me on Facebook and let me know what projects you are working on. I have decided to skip St. Patrick’s day and work on Easter instead. Maybe I’ll actually have something to show you if I start now, lol.

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

    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.
