Plastic Bag Holder

Hi all!

I am sharing today, My entry into the Cricut Circle blog weekly contest. We were to show how we use our Cricuts to organize our house. The project needed two Image cuts.

I made a fabric sleeve to hold the plastic shopping bags. I have many canvas bags for shopping so I am surprised at how many of these plastic guys make it into our house.

Everything used in this project was either recycled or scraps leftover from other projects. I feel good about repurposing things instead of tossing them out.

Here is my sleeve:

The canvas was leftover after shortening some curtains for my Mother in Law. The letters were cut on scraps of fabric using the Pooh Marker Font. I used Heat and Bond to iron the letters onto the sleeve. The recycle arrows were cut from Give a Hoot.


Its hard to see, but the arrows are dark green and the letters are black with tiny white polka dots on them. I used a small piece of elastic on the bottom of the sleeve, and the wide ribbon at the top used for the handle came off of packaging for a blanket.

I am slowly working on getting my home more organized. I will definitely be using my Cricut in future organizational projects.

Thanks for visiting today!

Have a Great and Crafty Day!

Camper Decorations and Backyard campouts- Pic heavy

Hi All! School's out and we are thoroughly enjoying our summer Vacation already! We are avid campers here, but alas, with the rising gas prices, we will not be dragging our camper too far from home many times this year.

But, we are not discouraged at all..We have decided to have quite a few "backyard campouts". We have a fire pit in the backyard and the trailer is parked on a pad right next to the house, so we will be enjoying our camper in our own yard. Here are a couple of pics from our first backyard campout. My SIL and DD's enjoying the fire pit.

DH and DD's being silly by the fire. There is our camper in the background.

I thought I would share the inside of my camper with you today. I have made many decorations using my cricut and a few different cartridges.

Here are some of the cabinet doors decorated with various camping/outdoor themed icons. The tree is from Give a Hoot:

Give a Hoot: Tree Hugger icon and words Give a Hoot:
Give a Hoot: DD's closet
Campin' Critters:
Cabinets over our bed: Give a Hoot Cartridge
Here is my DH's side of the bed. I used a couple of cuts from Wildlife Lite Cartridge. I HAD to put a turkey up there! LOL
Here is a closer view of the Stag Head from Wildlife Lite. I did ink this one to give it some more definition.
Here is my closet.
And of course, I had to have a Mermaid on my side too! She is from Life's a Beach.
Campin' Critters Skunk for the Bathroom door! LOL!
Here is a menu card holder I made for the door of the fridge. I used Campout to and Pooh Font to make it. The silverware is chipboard stickers from Cosmo Cricket,
I love this little phrase from Give a Hoot:
Give a Hoot animals over our sofa:
And Finally...some rainy day campout crafts: Origami Cranes we made on a campout. We strung them up on the curtains.
I have a few more decs planned. I was thinking of getting some outdoor vinyl and making a few things for the outside of the camper too!

Hope you enjoyed the little visit inside our camper.

Have a Great and Crafty Day!
