Measure Me Organized!

I don't know about you, but one thing I greatly despise is searching for the right measurement tool when cooking/baking.  The one I need is always at the bottom of the pile!

If you share my pain, then this is the project for you!  I started with selecting the cabinet I was going to get crafty with.

 

I picked my spice cabinet because it made the most sense.  After reflection, I picked the right side of the cabinet since it opens up to my kitchen.

The top portion of the cabinet is a Kitchen Measurement Conversion Chart.  The template is made by Chalk Couture.  Basically, you stick the screen on, squeegee on the paste, and then remove the screen.  The paste dries in minutes!

For the bottom portion of the cabinet, I created my design using Cricut's Design Space being careful to note the size of the tools I was going to add.  Design Space makes this process easy using the measured grid lines.  I then selected my vinyl colors, cut using my Maker, and weeded and layered the images. 

I added Command hooks to the cabinet.  I used them vs. more permanent hooks in case I ever wanted to easily switch out the design or change out the tools. 

    

So far, I LOVE IT!  Not only am I more organized, but I saved space! Even better, I am including my Design Space for you.  Enjoy!

It’s been a while since I posted but I thought I would share some of what I have been doing during this unique time we are in.  Besides eLearning (remembered why I could never be a teacher) cooking (do the dishes ever stop?), and washing my hands (do I really touch my face that many times?) I found some time to craft!

I figured a great way to spread some cheer is through happy mail! I created a variety of cards highlighting the more humorous side of our current situation.

I used the draw function on this card and then flattened it to create the background.  I also layered the t-shirt with pop dots. 

I used the same technique on this card by flattening the background and pop dotted the sentiment for interest.

                            

On this card, I used Distress Inks in Walnut Stain and a coffee mug to create my faux coffeee stains.

         

Vellum added the perfect transparency for the bubbles on this card.

                                    

The texture on this cardstock was a perfect match to the texture of tp!

I pop dotted the face on the sasquatch for a little lift.

This card was all about color, so I added extra colored base layers.

If you have Cricut Access you are in luck!  All of these images are available to you at no additional cost!  If you don't have Cricut Acces (what, why not?) you can still design with many of the images.  I love Social Distancing, A World of Hearts, and A World of Hearts 2 are all free for use in Design Space.

And here is my Design Space file if you would like to make some of you own:
