For today's project I stored all my clear stamps into a Recollections crafting storage container.
I love that I can easily grab this container when I am working on a project and it contains all my stamps, and ink, and acrylic blocks. 

Organization 2

Ok, for today I decided to organize my clear stamps by brand:
peachy keen - my pink stamper, my creative time, studio g, etc


Love the peachy keen faces!!!

Recycle time

We  seem to always have a large pile-up of recyclables on our counter everyday.  So we decided to try something.  We got an older garbage can we had in the basement and use that to store just the day's recyclable items until I take them out to our big bin in the garage.  It seems to be working well, so I decided it needed some vinyl on it so others know it is for Recycling only! 
I used the cartridge Spring Holiday Cards for the recycle sign.  I used the Cricut Craft Room to hide/contour the words and the outline of the card on this cut since I only wanted the triangle and smily face!  I also used Cricut Craft Room Basic font for the wording!  I love the clean look of this font.
I'm entering this into the cricut circle weekly challenge - function meets fun!
Thanks for looking

Holiday Sign

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room

25 Days of Christmas,

with 25 Cricut projects a day.

Don't forget to stop by Erica's blog to see 24 more projects today....

and every day in December.

 
Today's theme is Elf!  I had orginally planned on creating a scrapbook layout for today but I ran out of time!  So instead I am sharing a holiday sign I made at my local AC Moore class recently!
 
Isn't this just adorable!  And so easy to make!  I love taking classes at AC Moore.  Our teacher is wonderful and always comes up with some great projects! For this project, we covered a simple chalk board with scrapbook paper and then added the elf on the side! 
 
 The elf is cut from the Jolly Holidays cartridge.  For the face, Peachy Keen Stamps were used! Love these!!! 
 
The banners are from the Country Life cartridge and just glued onto the twine.  The snowflakes are from a punch the teacher had at class! 
 

These holiday signs would make great gifts and were a joy to make! Hope you like it!

Christmas Ornament

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room

25 Days of Christmas,

with 25 Cricut projects a day.

Don't forget to stop by Erica's blog to see 24 more projects today....

and every day in December.


For today's project I decided to make a very quick and easy ornament!! 
I've seen all these other blogs where people are making their own glitter ornaments and I wanted to give it a try!  I used GlitterIt to coat the inside of the ornament and then used some Martha Stewart red glitter.  So easy!  And not messy at all!  I will definitely be making more of these with my kids because it was super easy!  I then decided to keep the outside really simple and just used 3 different snowflake designs from the 'Winter is in the air- Seasonal' cartridge.   The snowflakes are all cut at 1.25 inches.  I'm really enjoying playing with vinyl and can't wait to make more projects with it!

Well that's my super simple Christmas ornament.  Hope you liked it!  I'm entering it into the Cricut Circle Weekly challenge - ornaments and glitter!  
Don't forget to check out the other great projects today over at Erica's Craft Room.  Thanks for stopping by!
