Have a "WHALE" of a time

This is for a challenge on the Tacky Tuesday Cricut, week #2.

This week, we were asked to use the whale on Create a Critter or any whale from any Cricut cartridge. We also need to use the word "whale" on the card.

I started looking for phrases or idioms and found "Have a whale of a time" and decided to add a luggage.

I used pieces of scrap paper but I also used Hobby Lobby gems, Oriental Trading Paper, Chalk, Peachy Keen Stamps, Acrylic paint.

Cartrdiges used:

Create a Critter

Lyrical Letters

Designs Calendar

Have a Whale of a Time

I was thinking of someone going on vacation

She is so beautiful!

I like how happy the dots make the card look, specially for an ocean theme

Chocolate pillow

I created this pillow for chocolates. It was modified during the assembly.

After I used the Gypsy and the Cricut to cut the pillow, I used a Cuttlebug folder to add texture to the acrylic. The acrylic is a little piece from a clear stamp set.

My original idea was to have a shaker in the window. Yes, you heard right "was" because a little accident happen

It looks pretty but when I assembled the pillow, the tape wasn't enough to secure the shaker. Apparently the Mountain Tape isn't a good friend with the transparency.

It's filled up with Dark Dove chocolates

A little note tag: Merry Christmas!!!

The tag! Yes, I doodle and in different colors

Finally, I found this sticker and thought it was great to seal the box.

How and where to storage my cartridges

I have been searching for ways to storage my cartridge collection and so far, this is what I have decided.

I'm not completely happy with the storage. I wrote the name on each cartridge and have them alphabetize (fonts and shapes) and they are color coded.

I still have the original boxes, I might use them in my classroom to keep school supplies: pencils, crayons and scissors.
