Scrapbooking Grandma Crafts

I bought this wreath at walmart. I decide to add my favorite bear cut to it to decorate it. It was a really super easy project to make.

I wrote a book!! It is in PDF format!!! In all of my organizing I wanted to organize my projects I put out on my blogs over the years. After I made this book I decided I wanted to share it with all of my viewers.
You all have been so wonderful to come here visit and all those wonderful comments you share.
I really appreciate all of my followers and viewers.

Here is my book cover!! I designed, wrote and illustrated everything in this book. I hope you all enjoy it.

I got a couple of digital downloads for Cricut Craftroom. I got 3D Valentine Boxes and Valentine Sweets.
I have been wanting to make mailboxes for so long. Every where I looked the tin mailboxes were sold out.
So I went ahead and tried the 3D Valentine Boxes from Cricut.com. The bear on Valentine Sweets is just so adorable. I really like the mailbox too.


Valentine Sweets - For the Bear: Cut at 4"

I have my Cartridges and handbooks organized. It has taken me a full week to do this whole operation. LOL. I modified the way I was storing the handbooks because I have lack of space to keep them in.
This is my solution for now. Until I change my mind again. LOL

On the Circle MB there are threads on getting organized. It's been a lot of fun working together with others organizing our craft rooms. Each week we are focusing on a section of our craft rooms and organizing them together. I'm not following that schedule exactly. We can mix it up however we want.
I started organizing before these threads popped up. This is my challenge to get my room organized.

My challenge to myself is to make my room look nice and at the same time having it functional.

This is my schedule so far.

Week 1  - I washed my craft room from top to bottom. Walls, Ceiling, Carpet and Furniture have all been cleaned. I made table skirts and shadowboxes to beautify the room.


Week 2 & 3 - I'm organizing my cartridges and handbooks. I bought extra bead boxes to store my cartridges in and I am in the process of making file folders for my handbooks and overlays.
I do plan on using my tablet to look at the digital handbooks for projects. But, I still need my overlays for my Cricut Expression Machines and Cricut Create Machine.

I'll keep updating this post and be posting pictures soon.

Imagine - Design - Create - Inspire Project . I am entering it in the Circle Magazine Contest.







I cut my letters using Tie The Knot and Blackletter cartridges.I designed my cuts in Cricut Craftroom and cut with my Cricut Mini. I cut my butterflies with the Sophie Cartridge. I modge podged my pattern paper to the back of the frame. I arranged my design and embellished with pearls and floral accents.
 
 

I made 2 craft table skirts today and it is very easy to do. I first picked up some Kitchen curtains, hooks and curtain rods. They were 36" long so I had to hem them up to fit my tables 30" high.  I'm not really a sewer but I can do some basics. This was just a straight stitch across. I folded the fabric from the top 2 times where the rod pockets are since I couldn't hem the from the bottom. I sewed at the edge of the fabric keeping the rod pockets in tack so I could still use them. I drilled holes in my table and screwed in the hooks. I attached the rods and slide on the curtains.  Easy, Easy! I was surprised it really didn't take all that long.
