Weed it Wednesday - Scrapbook Layout

-
It's Lorrie here, and I'm back for another Weed It Wednesday. Today, I'm sharing a scrapbook layout I made.  Weeding isn't just about vinyl.  Sometimes, you weed backgrounds cut out of cardstock.

I love to use a background lattice type of cardstock for the base of my scrapbook pages.  Using the Cricut Explore and/or Cricut Maker makes weeding a cinch.


 It cuts cardstock like Butter!
and... btw... who says you can't use all of those pretty pink Heidi Swapp "Favorite Things" leftovers on a boy layout?  This was one of my all time favorite collections and I still can't bring myself to get rid of the bits and pieces I have left.

so.... what are you weeding today?

Hey everyone!  It's Lorrie here.  Welcome to our very first Make it Monday!   We are super excited to share with you fun ideas throughout the week, but specifically on Mondays, we will be focusing on quick "Make It Monday" ideas that everyone can do. Today, let's talk SUCKERS! You heard me right.  Suckers! I can't tell you how excited I was to give this super, easy project a try.  All you need is some Starlight mints (you know the ones you always grab at restaurants, but rarely eat), some sucker sticks (I used Wilton Cake Pop Sticks), a cookie cutter and some cooking spray. Popsicle sticks will work, too!

Hello everyone!  It's another Weed It Wednesday!  Today, I wanted to feature weeding with cardstock!  When we talk "weeding" our minds automatically go to vinyl or iron on. But, check out the weeding on this Mother's Day Card I created in Design Space.  Using the correct Cricut mat and settings really help cut down on the weeding.  I prefer to use the Blue Medium Grip mat for cardstock and the cardstock setting for my favorite Cricut Cardstock. If you'd like to make to make this card, I"ve got a step by step tutorial for you:

Thrive in your Hive Thursday!

Hello everyone!  It's another Thrive in your Hive Thursday.  Today, we are talking about craftroom organization.  We all create more efficiently when our craft rooms are organized.  However, organization is a very personal perference and depends on how your crafty mind thinks. Do you organize by color?  When you're crafting do you think... "I need something blue"?  You might be a color organizer.  This photo is from a Cricut event I went to.  It's organized by color.  Color is how I think and how I organize. Maybe you're a organizer by product?  Perhaps you keep all of your acrylic paints in one bin, and all of your stickers in another, and all of your embellishments in another, etc.?  Organization for you may look something like this: Perhaps you are inspired by themes such as Halloween, Christmas, Summer, Floral, Stripes, Polka Dots, etc.  You might organize like this: There are so many ways to organize...
