Jewelry Crafting

I also dabble in crafting my own jewelry. Here I made some earrings to match a lovely piece (necklace on the left) which I bought from my personal Jewels by Park Lane rep, who happens to be my cousin. There weren't any matching earrings available (yet), so I made my own as seen here on the right.






For the earrings, I used two charms from the Pearls & Pumps line available at Michaels craft stores; some jump rings to connect them together and attached them to a "fish hook with tiny ball-style" earring wire.

I used a Jewelry 5-Piece Beading Pliers set of tools from Westrim Crafts I got from JoAnn's craft store to complete my project.

Crafting Jewelry isn't as hard as you think. With the correct pair of pliers and some findings, charms, etc., you can make yourself a personalized set of items to your taste.

I won the Cricut Construction Cone Award!

Thanks to Michelle of Scrappingwithmybug.com for picking me as the winner for the messiest craft space.

I guess that's a good thing if it wins you an award (lol)!












I also received an extra bonus prize from Michelle.

Thank you, Michelle, I love them both!









I've since cleaned up my craft area a bit.









This is a "before" picture...
shocking, isn't it?!?!

Cricut Construction Cone Award

...and the award goes to...ME!


I never thought I'd win, but I did!
Now everyone knows my secret to successful crafting...lots of clutter. After all, you know what they say "a cluttered desk is the sign of genius." I like to pattern myself after Albert Einstein who always had a messy working area as well.
See for yourself: http://i33.tinypic.com/14avkw2.jpg


Thank you, Michelle for this fun challenge, and for picking me as the winner. So, now ladies, tell your hubbies/family there is someone out there whose space is way messier than yours (lol)!

Cricut Cartridge Binder

I made myself a cricut binder to keep track of all my cartridges for easy reference.

It really helps when I'm crafting a card and deciding what to use without dragging out each cartridge to look at them. I used the cover of the Cricut Manual for my binder cover to distinguish from my other binders on my craft bookshelf.






For each cart that I own, I have printed out the image page as seen here:



Easter 2010 Cartridge


Mother's Day 2010 Cartridge



You can find any printable image for each cartridge on the internet by searching for images by cartridge title.




I also have a sheet showing the different sizes of shapes for fitting reference. I used my cricut marker to draw shapes in various sizes from each cart.




Easter 2010 cartridge cut sizes





Mother's Day 2010 cartridge cut sizes





Home Accent cartridge cut sizes







Haunted Halloween cartridge sizes for the Coffin





I also printed out a cartridge list from my cricut account page. I copied and pasted the list into a Word document and sorted it alphabetically for faster and easier reference of my cartridge inventory.
