My fabulous boxes and gift and bombonaire ideas

My fabulous boxes for gift and bombonaire ideas

I have used many materials as talked about in my previous posts.

C R E A T I N G - I've been very busy!!!!!!!! Photos to be published soon!!!!!!

So yeah, your probably been wondering what I have been creating! I have been working from a few cartridges of late ie. Doodlecharms, Sweet Treats, and a couple of others, I can't remember which ones! lol :P  But yes I <3 all my Cricut lovely Cartridges!!!!!!!!
********** Don't worry I haven't given up on this blog thing yet..... :) *lol*  I've been told it takes time to get followers, so yes i will keep going and try to post more often!

Purchases
I also purchased some new materials to use for my boxes!!!!!!  As I had seen some great YouTube videos of people using Acetate so yes went to OfficeWorks and purchased some Transparency Clear Sheets, found with the binding materials and machines, also got some frosted looking ones too!  Bargain as i bought 100 A4 Sheets of each for about $40 each or something, but yeah 200 sheets, these will last me a long time or make a lot of boxes! 
So yes of course i'm soooooooo happy!!!!!!

Creating and Making
I've had extra time to create and make as work is slow which is sad, so I keep myself occupied by crafting and making!!!!!!!!!  In the last week, I have made some Pillow Boxes, boxes which look great, I have not finished embellishing these yet, but once done i will post some photos!!!!!!!!  I have also made some Christmas cards, using one of the xmas Cricut cartridges!!!!!!! Bet your excited to see them!!!!!! I am!!!!!!!!!
I <3 my crafting!

About my Cutting Matts
Also I've had some problems with my cutting matts, as my first machine being an E-Craft, i used stabalisers but these were paper under the sheet.  Now using Cricut and my Zing with Cutting Matts i'm struggling figuring out what is the best product to use to make the matt sticky again.  At the moment, i'm using a couple of different adhesive craft sprays, which don't seem to be doing the job really well, as I have to keep re-doing it.  
Has anyone got any tips or ideas, as to the best products and ways to make it fabulous again and less annoying!!!!!!  I seem to be getting a lot of down time as i'm having to re-spray and clean my matts.

As I actually ruined my Zing Matt, and it is not usuable any more....I am trying the Fiskars Cutting Matts, they are much thicker than the other matts I have used, I have not had any problems yet, except they are 12x12 only so not as big as my Zing matt, will maybe re-order another Zing replacement matt soon!

Miss Pinky's Craft Room!!!!!!!!!! Yeah sooooooooooooooo exciting!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to my blogger friends!!!!!!!!  So yes, been a while since I have blogged.  

VERY EXCITING NEWS, I've been soooooooooooo lucky to dedicate a area in our house to my hobby, Crafting!!!!!!!!!!!! 
But yes I may add i've been busy setting up my craft area.  I will post pictures too very soon!!!!!!!

On this topic, I started to research ideas, for easy ideas of storing my cardstock/paper.  I did a lot of research on google for information on storage for 12x12 Card stock.  When I searched high and low, I found the Vertical 12x12 Paper Holders made by Cropper Hopper.    I was delighted when I found these at my local Craft store - Camelots Studio.  I got home and I started sorting out my cardstock into my storage holders.  I didn't even realise I had that much Cardstock and Paper, that I even had to go back to Camelots to get another few holders the next day!!!!!!!  His comment was weren't you here yesterday.  I said yes, didn't realise i had as much cardstock/paper as i actually did.  Funny when you don't have proper storage for something you seem to hoarde more, or buy more of what you originally had already, but because it was hidden, couldn't see it. Many of the things I had thought about when choosing this paper storage.  Also space, this seemed to be the most space efficient way for me.  The picture was stolen from Google, temporarily, i will post my picture of my crafting room with my 12x12 cropper hopper storage holders soon!  Please keep a look out for an update of this topic!!!!!

Cropper Hopper's are a great product, I read many reviews.  100% happy with the product so far. 

Also from Officeworks i purchased the perfect little tray holders for all my crafting tools and materials ie. Scissors, Adhesives and Glues, Ribbons, Stamps, and all my other bits n pieces.  

12 Drawer Chrome Trolley- Multi Colour Brights for a bargain price of 59.98!!!!! was good for me!

Got my table from my local Bunnings store, they had really good quality fold out tables, so yes got a 6ft table for a bargain too.

I also got a chair matt so the wooden floors and carpets wouldn't get damaged.  Also a bin, for my rubbish.  But no need for those pictures.....

So yes, when we got my my items home, we put these together and was VVVEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYY impressed of how my craft room was looking already!  So ready to craft, having my tools and materials right besides me was a bonus and proving to be the greatest area ever!!!!!!!!!! My little home away from home, I tried to set up my craft room in my room, but it didn't work out......... except that my room is on the small side!!!!!!

But yes i will post photos of Miss Pinky's craft area soon!!!!!!!!!  

Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog, till next time, bye for now!!!!!!!
