FCCB - "Get Organized" Cricut Crawl

 Hello and Happy New Year!

I simply cannot believe we going to begin 
2013 tomorrow.  I remember in 1999 all of the hoopla about what would happen when it turned to 2000.  Well folks, we are still here and still crafting!  WooHoo

One very popular resolutions is to get organized.  We have already started over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.  

That is your challenge this week.  To create an organizational project using your cricut to make it or decorate it.  Not only is it our challenge we want you to crawl through our blogs and see all of our inspiration.  

This was the most difficult project I have ever experienced to photograph.  Sorry! Of course, if I didn't always wait until the dead of night that might help...LOL


 I altered a bright pink train case to hold my embossing folders.
 
 On the top I used Basic Grey Soleil collection.
Modge podged a collage of several of the papers I liked.  I also wanted a little unexpected so I used the leopard print ribbon. 


 The inside of the lid also has the same papers.
 
 Here is where my cricut came in.  I used the Fabulous Finds cartridge and cut file folders out of white card stock.  Embossed them with a folder and then used my distress ink to highlight the embossed area.  Then I store that embossing folder in that file folder.  So I can easily flip through them to see what I have and what I want to use for my projects.  As you can see I have a few more folders to make.  34 to be exact...LOL

We have so many prizes for you this week...
Many of the DT is offering blog candy so make sure you crawl through to everyone.
