Paper Sackin it Again!

Okay, I know i did some paper lunch sack mini books before, but I just keep going back to them because they are just perfect for what I want to do! I Love em! I made this pregnancy mini journal book for a friend at work..she loves vintage just like I do. I used scraps from a October Afternoon kit I got last year at the Scrapfest Mall of America (which i am going to again this year--super stoked!) and some Studio Calico paper. I type a few journal starters on regular card stock. I love looking back at my pregnancy journals and hopefully she will too!

My kind of recycled plastic...

I finally used up one of my gigantic containers of Lysol disinfecting wipes and thought to myself "what a waste to just throw this nice (and clean!) container away". I do tend to keep way too many things on the thought that " will use this one day" or "I could make ____ out of this".  But this time I had got the idea the same day I used all the wipes! After getting a plastic grocery bag from an overstuffed drawer I had my great "...hhhaaayyy....wait a minute..." moment.

I applied the same idea to a liter plastic water bottle too!

All I had to do was pretty much poke holes for the holder and decorate.  I decorated both using Echo Park Paper. The Lysol container "Hello Summer" and the water bottle "Little Boy".  I made a pinwheel using "It's the little things" by Fancy Pants and a popsicle stick from a Dove bar. 

Yippee..no more plastic grocery bags stuffed in a drawer!
