Silhouette Cameo File Folder Box

I'm not trying to make this a Project Life and nothing else kind of blog, so I though we'd switch gears today and look at something else. :) I'll probably be right back to PL tomorrow. I'm so excited about it!

Mom needed some numbers cut out so she could number the days each month in her gratitude journal. I searched the Silhouette Online store but only found a couple that went up to 31 days. If you know of any others, please tell me or link them in the comments! I cut out Everyday Numbers and the December Daily numbers. I cut several months and separated them into little baggies so she could use them for each month.

Of course she needed somewhere to keep the numbers... so I made a file folder box on the Cameo.

And then she had to have some file folders to put in the box to hold the baggies full of alphabets.

I cut the folders out on the Cameo too. I opened both the file folder box and the file folders on the same cutting mat. I moved the folder on top of the folder box. That way I could size the folders down to where they would fit inside the box once it was assembled. I decorated the folders with border stickers from the paper collection.

And there you go, a quick and easy way to store pieces for a project!

I love reading each and every comment!

Smash Your Stash Challenge 1

I just joined a group called 'Smash Your Stash' on Facebook and am going to try to do as many challenges as possible. I'm using the red SMASHbook I got in a SMASH bundle at Michael's a few months ago. I tend to always have a theme when I do my SMASHbooks. I'm hoping these challenges will push me to be a little more random. My pages are still going to be scrapbook-y though. That's just my style :)

The first challenges was to use your oldest piece of patterned scrapbook paper and some letter or label stickers. I used a paper called "Wally Moose Tracks" from Gin-X's 'Take a Vacation'. It's not the first piece of paper I ever bought, but it's one of the oldest I still have. I just cut out lots of the circles from the paper and scattered them around the pages. I used some orange October Afternoon Mini Market stickers.

I thought 'take a vacation' was a great theme for me to use, so I chose a picture from our one-year anniversary trip to Jamaica last year. Joe and I love to travel and explore new places together. I don't think we'll ever run out of places to go.

I used a bunch of little embellishments from K&Co, an Amy Tan sticker, and a few random travel-related things I had laying around.

I am going to use my SMASH date stamper in this book.

 I think the international clocks are cute. The stars add a bit of sparkle to the page.

So what do you think? Are you up for the challenge?
