Challenge #4 - New Dehli, India

As well as doing my Sketches I have still been travelling around the world over at Artistic Document
Before arriving at our fourth destination, we had another mini challenge to complete - a tag. We had to doodle on a tag that must then be used on one of our journey LO's


Our 4th stop over was new Dehli India.
The inspiration for this one is BRIGHT COLOURS.
Technique: Doodling
Criteria:
1.. ON Black, White or Kraft CS + ONE PP only {if double sided you may use both sides}
2.. Tickets
3.. Bling of some description
4.. Group Photo 4 or more people/animals
5.. Don't forget your STAMP

I inked my PP to get the various colours. I used Marvy pens to colour my doodling that I copied from my PP. My stamp is just underneath the photo across the top of the 2 pieces of PP. I doodled on the white background before placing the main LO.

Got Sketch Express2 - Sketch #4

Slowly catching up with the sketches. The Got Sketch Express2 class has actually finished but I am only halfway with the LO's. This is my take on Sketch #4. When we visited Las Vegas it was great to see The Strip by day compared to all the flashy lights at night.

Got Sketch Express2 - Sketch #3

Here is my third sketch from Got Sketch Express2


It is so much fun to use a sketch to plan a LO. And these are great sketches.

Got Sketch Expres2 - Sketch #2

Finished this one last night. I am loving the sketches from Got Sketch Express2

This is Alistair feeding the goats at a petting farm in 2009.

Got Sketch Express2 - Sketch #1

I was lucky enough to win a place in the Got Sketch Express2 workshop hosted by Valerie Salmon over at Got Sketch. Here is my take on the first LO.

I am a bit behind but will try to catch up a few this weekend.

Cricut Cartridge Storage

I have been wanting to organise my Cricut Cartridges for some time now so they are easy to access without having to go through piles of boxes looking for the one I wanted. After searching the web & U-Tube I finally found a way to store them.
Previously they were stored one on top of each other in 2 piles in a very narrow place. I would have to pull out the front pile to access the back pile or to even read the side of the case.
So I have gone from this:


To this, a neat & compact way to store and carry:

I will arrange the books in alphabetical order with a small tag attached to the spine for ease of identification. The overlays are stored in the book.

The cartridges are held in place by velcro dots applied ot the back of the cartridge & the lid of the box.



The box measures approximately 13 1/2" x 9" x 6 1/2". There is room for more books and an extra layer of cartridges could easily be added.
