Coogee Beach was near our apartment in Sydney. We made trips there often, even once when Parker was just a few weeks old. This beach bag or toy bin, will be a fun reminder of our days at the beach.
After uploading the text and image to the Cricut Design Space, I loaded some permanent vinyl onto the cutting mat, set the dial to vinyl, and pressed GO on my Cricut Explore. Once the image was cut, I used transfer tape to move it onto the bag.
Don't forget that you have a chance to win one of 50 machines! All you need to do is upload a photo of any project that you have made (it does not need to be made with a Cricut product - it can be anything as long as you made it) with the #cricut and #imadeit to Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter and you will automatically be entered to win. Check out the official rules right here. And if you want, go ahead and tag me (@cloudydaygray), so I can play along with the fun!

I made this project as an entry into the Cricut Design Star challenge. Cricut has asked a number of bloggers to enter projects with specific themes as a fun way to test out the Cricut Explore. I am also now an official affiliate blogger for Cricut, so any purchases made through a link from this site, will result in a percentage going into my pocket. Always, thank you for your support.
