Three die cut machines, various piles of sticker sheets, numerous stamps and I don't own a single check mark.
Also, the selection of check mark die cuts at the Silhouette store is...there are 3 (one is under tick, not check)
Maybe I should design some and go into the neglected punctuation and symbol die cut market. There are also not enough music related anything in scrapbooking.
What random common thing have you discovered you don't own?

Ooooh, you DO need to design a check mark diecut/sticker/etc. It could be the next Owl, or Mustache, or Pineapple, or whatever! I honestly can't think of anything that I've discovered that I need.... although now that I think about it, my stash is sadly lacking in check marks....  |

although I think there are probably plenty of clip-art or dingbat versions that I could use with my Cricut/SCAL - does the Silhouette let you do that?

I would love an editable list of Cricut cartridges in alphabetical order. I don't want them separated into types, just the list from A-Z. I have 135 of them and had them all typed out and then lost them in a computer transfer. Great sadness. I do have a list, I just don't want to type them all over again.

breetheflea, I just found a check mark on Webdings: It is the letter a. Not the most stylish check mark, but it's there.

A stash of muted or pastel, thin 12x12 paper for making envelops. Anyone know a source?

I'm not really aware of anything I'm missing, but I must confess I now have this sudden urge to make a LO with check marks!!  |

Honestly, a dingbat is a great idea, and I probably would not have thought of that, even though I have cut Mickey Mouse dingbats before.

I don't have a large isosceles triangle die for making banners.
My banner making has always been restricted to rectangles, and I think I've had about enough of that, thank you very much.

mzliz use 2 30/60 triangles, or make a template out of chipboard.

A good black ink pad for stamping. Gina K designs has a great ink. It works for heat embossing, Copics, colored pencil/gamsol. Click the link and scroll down. Amalgam Ink |

I think I've used a V and cut one side shorter for a checkmark before on a layout, but now I'm wondering if I ever found one.

If you have a number 7 die, could you flip it and reverse it? |

msliz, use your rectangle and draw a line from each bottom corner to the center of the opposite side, then cut along the lines. Voila - an isosceles triangle!

This is what happens to me. Let's say I need Lego something (paper, die cut, etc.) and there is NOTHING.. I have looked up and down for it. As soon as I make my 'own' THEN it is all over the place.. it happens every time. It was Lego, then Harry Potter, then Twilight, then it was something I needed for Vegas, it happened a ton years ago as companies were still putting out good original stuff, just a day too late for me.... or maybe it is that I don't scrap as much now and I don't notice... lol

I have 135 of them and had them all typed out and then lost them in a computer transfer. Great sadness. I do have a list, I just don't want to type them all over again. Yes!!!! Once upon a time I had a spreadsheet of all my cartridges with columns to check if they were shaped, fonts, or both. I also had a column for full-size or whatever they called those seasonal/special ones with fewer shapes, and another column for whether or not it was a licensed character cartridges. I had planned to add another column for key words (Christmas, cake, school, sports, etc.) so I could search for specific things. I liked being able to sort by the columns. And like you, I lost it in a transfer. 😡 |
