Resource Binder

  

I have been working on this resource binder for weeks, and it is finally finished!  The oval was modified from the Wild Card Cricut Cartridge, and the letters are from Simply Sweet.  This is an Avery binder with a built in pocket on the inside.  I used tab dividers with pockets on the front and back so I can store notes and projects in progress.

The binder is broken up into the following sections:

1.  Supplies

• Each Cricut cartridge has a different colored piece of card stock with a photo from the back of the box (green page above)
• Sample square of Cuttlebug embossing folders (black embossed squares on purple paper above)
• Yellow card stock with stamp images (above)
• Transparency with sample pieces of ribbon (above)
• List of each stamp, cartridge, and embossing folder and the amount paid

2. Card Ideas

• Card images and layouts from magazines and online
• Card wording and Bible verses

3.  Gift Ideas

• Ideas collected from magazines and online

4. Notes

• Photos of past projects and notes on recreating it.
• The tab divider folder has samples and other items to make future projects easier.

5. Lesson Plans

• I have not made any progress yet, but this section has intentions of lesson plans for crafts and cards that I can eventually teach to children or adults. 

Flowers Galore

My aunt continues to bravely battle cancer.  She said that she looks forward to getting the mail and looks for my cards.  After I heard this, I started sending an extra card a week for a total of 3 or more.  This is another card that I made for her.  The flowers are from the Simply Sweet Cricut cartridge.  It will be entered in the Cooking with Cricut challenge to use three Cricut flowers and the Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge to use metal (brads inside flowers).

Puppy Card and Notepad

Crafty Cardmakers is having a challenge to make a card and matching gift.  This pair was created for my co-worker so she can remember her "baby" Copper while at work.  The images are from the Paper Pups Cricut cartridge, and the letters are cut from pink heart paper using the Simply Sweet cartridge.  I LOVE how this notepad turned out, and I think I need to make one for myself! :)

Hello Card

I just made this hello card for my aunt that is battling cancer, and I am entering it in Momo's Tuesday Challenge to use embossing.  I hand embossed the paper with the carpet texture plate from Fiskars.  The letters are from the Simply Sweet Cricut cartridge using the shadow feature.  I was inspired by the sparkles in the ribbon, so I dressed the card up with glitter glue.
