DIY Kit Challenge

Hello!

I went to a get together with some of my CTMH Besties last night. Okay, it was a business meeting but we also had some fun. 

The challenge was to come up with a project and bring it in the form of a kit for each of the other demonstrators.  There were some great ideas! The one I created was a tiny milk carton.

I was happy that everyone liked it.  It was created from the "2-4-6-8" box that's been around for many years.  You will all learn that I am obsessed with boxes.  Following is a diagram of how to make one, sort of, I learned that I need to be more explicit in my instructions.  Since this was a learning experience, then it was a success.

The dark lines are score lines and I noted where they should be cut, and I should have noted that the 'skinny' section on the right end is where you would put the adhesive.  I would recommend the red sticky tape for boxes.

The products I used were from Close to My Heart.  White Daisy cardstock (#1385), stamp set used was My Life, included in the Artbooking Cricut Collection (#Z1906), stamped with Cranberry ink (#Z2116), the flower and hearts were cut using the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge (#Z1686) from Cranberry cardstock (#1272), and the 'leaves' Topiary cardstock (#X5635).  Also used a binder clip and some bling.

Have a great day, go get creative!

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone!  I've been away far too long!  I hope all the holidays were great for you, I know mine were great.  I was spoiled by Santa and I got to spend lots of time with my family.  That's all I need.

I have rescheduled the Cricut Class.  Get more from your Cricut!  I'll help you out on Wednesday, February 12 @ 6:30 or Saturday February 15 @ 10AM. Sign up early there's only room for 4 in each class.  Bring your own Cricut and accessories.

I've had the bug.  The crafting bug, so I covered a box.  The My Creations Card Box (Z1647) and I used a retired paper pack.  But I did have fun creating.
Here's the box...

  I'll hold a class on March 6th and but sign up by February 24.

I'm planning more classes.  Please stay tuned and I'll figure out how to do all this.  In the meantime get out there and create, and if you need any help... let me show you how!
