Time to get organized! Quick Tip Tuesday!

As part of the Creative Cutter Room design team I would like to share this quick tip with you!

I don't have a lot of time to craft between work, family and household chores, so to make my crafting time more productive I first spent my time getting organized!

I decided it would be easier to sort my supplies by theme and holiday!

Here are some examples of how I sorted:

These three drawers hold:

baby, school and travel

This larger bin holds Halloween and Fall

This 12X12 Sleeve holds Memorial Day and the 4th of July

Now when I craft I can easily pull out the bin I need and have all the supplies right on hand! This has been saving me so much time! Instead of looking for the stickers, and stamps I know I have some where I can get right to creating!

I also decided to tackle my dreaded ribbon! It took about 2 hours but it is done and now the ribbon is usable! and all this ribbon...

Fit into this!

 

Check out my super quick tip video!

I hope you enjoyed my quick tips!

Happy Father's Day!

We do not live anywhere near the beach but I could not resist making this super embossed crab! I will be sending it out to Great-Grandpa for Father's Day. He is now living in a VA Home and I've been told by his nurse that he loves to receive the handmade cards I send him so I am sure this will make him smile!

Gnome Challenge over at the BBTB2!!

It is time for another great challenge over at the BBTB2!

This week Theresa from Binky Blossoms has selected ANY of  the Gnomes on the Freshly Picked Cartridge. Pages. 35-37! . But you can use any Gnome from any cartridge, or  you are free to use a Birdbath as a Garden Decoration.

SO I don't have Freshly Picked and none of my cartridges had any gnomes so using the witch hat from Mini Monsters I created my own Gnome!

This is the second time I have created this little guy and I love how cute and simple he is! You can check out my first attempt here!

Here is my project:

Gnome from Mini Monsters:

I used the hat in Mini Monsters, cut it three times once in red, blue and cream and cut the pieces to fit. I used sharpie for the eyes and Deco-Art for the beard.

Grass from Create a Critter
Wild Card for the Scallop Card shape
Simply Charmed for the mushroom
Diamond Stickles
Misc cloud pattern paper
Craft String
Sticker Ladybug

I hope you will join us in the super fun challenge!
