New Basic Grey collections

Check out the newest Basic Grey papers! I'm not crazy about June Bug, but I'll be running to my LSS once they have the Lemonade collection available!

layout Kos: Asklepeieon

The first finished one of three layouts I'm working on right now. It's based on Creanijn's sketch 15. I used Basic Grey Sugared papers and I made the title with my brand new Cricut!

Ribbon storage

I have two different storage systems for my ribbon collection. I'll start with the ribbons

bought per meter, etc. I keep them sorted by colour in boxes from a Dutch budget store (1€/each). It's a bit messy but it works fine for me .

I have my ribbon on rolls seperatly in this box from Really Usefull Boxes (http://www.reallyusefulproducts.co.uk/). I must admit the bigger rolls don't fit in, but I don't have a lot of these so I keep them somewhere else.

Candy links!

I've been sick these last days and I'm still not feeling very well. So this will be a calm weekend with lots of time to finish some layouts (but I have to charge the batteries of my camera, so the pictures will be for later) and surfing the internet. I have a great non-crafting related link to follow the first birth of an elephant baby in Belgium: http://www.baby-olifant.be/. Definitely worth a visit! Here are some other links with blog candy:

The first layout on which I used my brand new Cricut! Papers are Marrakech from Basic Grey.

I've got a Cricut!

I wanted a Cricut for so long, but I waited so long because I didn't know I was gonna use it a lot and because of the price of course. When I saw my LSS had a promotion on the Cricut, I decided to buy a Cricut Create. I went to a demonstration yesterday and I came home with a Cricut Expression. I immediately experimented a whole afternoon and I'm so happy with it!
