I made 18 cards today!
I figure hey,
1) I'm out of cards because I've been mailing more than I'm making lately
2) If I'm going to have my Cricut out and the paper loaded, I might as well use the "Auto Fill" option and have it cut as many as it can on that sheet of paper
3) It really doesn't take much more effort to make several cards that are just alike than it does to make 1 or 2 (assembly line style)
So.... there you have it.
I'll use word or phrase stickers in the small blocks beside each froggie on the cards.
And YES! I got to use my Googlie eyes again!! Man, those things last forever! I still have tons left after making 18 froggies with them. :)
Card base from Value pack pre-scored for easy folding!
Background papers from K & Company's Life's Tapestry cut @ 5" x 3 1/4"
Cricut Cartridge: New Arrival
Froggie page 116 cut @ 2 1/2"
Auto-Fill on 8 1/2" x 11" paper cut it 18 times (Yeeee-haaaa!)
Scotch Photo Splits and Zots used to adhere everything
Stampin Up chalks used to outline mouth and give rosy cheeks
I found a tupperware-type box at Fred Meyer a couple weekends ago (it was labeled "shoe box storage"). It's actually made by Sterilite.
My cards fit perfectly in there, and I can see through the box.
I was using a filing cabinet drawer to store my made cards into files like "New Baby", "Congratulations", "Summer", etc, but it was too tight to see what I had. I like this see through box MUCH better.
And since I like to organize so much (I know, it can be a problem), I'll probably make some tab dividers that say things like:
New Baby
Summer
Family
Animals
Friends
Happy Birthday
Get Well
Congratulations
Etc.
So what did YOU do today?
Hoppy Easter!
