Vinyl on Baskets and Trays

We found some really cute paper trays and plastic containers to use for organizing.  These are perfect to add vinyl on, so here's what we tried.

This is my "To Do's" bucket that I leave out on my counter.  It's a catch-all for everything I need to focus on that week...magazines, bills, forms, books, etc.  I'll tell you more about those cute little notebooks beside it in a later post, but you should know that I always have lots of notes in my "To Do's" bucket!  I used the Hoot 'N Holler and Plantin Schoolbook cartridges to cut the vinyl.

These are the paper trays, and I really like these!  Mine is the "Scraps" one.  It will go in my craft room and get lots of use.  The other one is for a friend who is a teacher.  I used the Car Decals cartridge to cut "SCRAPS" and Stone Script for "Mrs. Griffin" and the tiger paw.  I'm going to need to get several more of these trays for other projects!    

Money Card

My nephew's birthday is today, and like many children, he wants MONEY!  So, that's what we got him, along with a lamp to go in his newly decorated bedroom.  We wanted to make him a nice money card, so I went to my Wild Card cartridge for ideas.  We decided on the All In One card that you get when entering -shift.  I used red cardstock and Stampin' Up's Celebrations paper for the liner.  The card was cut at a height of a little over 6".  Then, we decided to go with a beach theme for the front flap, as this is the design for his room.  Using the Car Decals cartridge, we chose a jumping dolphin and a pair of flip flops.  Perfect for him!  To finish it off, we used the "Happy Birthday" stamp from My Pink Stamper's Sweetest Cupcakes set and black ink.

He liked it so much, he wanted to use it as a wallet!  Hmmm, ideas for another project. ;-)
