Week 20 - Diecuts

Another quick one for me...now that I have a cricut, I only cut what I need rather than having stashes of die cuts.  I do, however, have a 12x12 paper mailing box (aka, pizza box) full of some that I purchased long before I got a cricut.  There are several duplicates because I bought them from a company that was going bankrupt and thought...heh, if we have a 2nd child, I'd want to have these cute things in both scrapbooks...so, we only have 1 kid, so now I have duplicates - I also have 2 Santa stockings...so they would coordinate if we had the 2nd kid...sigh.  Anyhow, back to the real discussion....the original post about organizing die cuts is here.

Oh, I actually do have a few more die cuts - ones that I made with my cricut.  Last year when we renewed our membership in the circle, they gave you access to ALL of their digital cuts for free for a certain amount of time.  While a nice gesture, it was odd for me because how do I know what color (or size) to cut things out as when I'm not at the point of scrapbooking those particular photos.  I did cut a few more generic things and and I have all of them saved in plastic baggies.

She talks about how you will organize them...which might be the same way as you organize other embellishments...theme, type, color...whatever.    I think I'd put them by theme...unless they weren't theme related, then probably by color.  She, as always, has links to various ideas for storage.

SO...go at them...dig them out, organize them...and if there are some old and nasty ones - get rid of them!!

have a great week!
