We decided we didn't want to keep buying lunch containers as they would get lost at school. So I took my Silhouette Cameo and some vinyl and made sure we had names on them. Now they've come home every day :)
Lunch Boxes
Besides the normal paper scrapbooking, I really love to try new things. An online friend recently said I was adventurous and that's the exact word I was looking for! Pinterest doesn't help my curiosity either, it makes my to-do list longer.
My kitchen is slate blue, cream cabinets and I incorporate red into it. I couldn't find anything for the floor with those colors that's wasn't patriotic, which I didn't want. So whats a girl to do?
This was made with a canvas drop cloth (that's right a shaggy drop cloth) from Lowe's. I hemmed the edges with no-sew iron on tape and painted away. It came out okay for my first try, I plan to make another for the front porch to match our Halloween decor.
It needs to be ironed but I couldnt wait to put it down and make sure I got the sizing right!

We all have tough subjects to scrapbook, wouldn't you agree? For me, mine is scrapbooking my parents. They died when I was 19 and it's taken me awhile to learn to live with it. My "new normal" as I call it. I finished my mini album of my mom, took me 11 years but I was "happy" while working on it and didn't shed one tear. It truly was a big stepping stone for me.
I ordered an entire color scheme of vinyl. When it got here I was a bit timid about using it. However once I dove in, it was amazing!
The designs are all cut with my silhouette cameo (have I mentioned I love that machine?!) and were given as gifts to friends or family. Everyone has loved them so far.
If you have made something with vinyl what did you think?

Today is the last day of the organize this challenge. For now :) I may be taking more photo's once my camera reader comes in. These mobile pictures are a bit too hazy for me, so I promise to replace them once my camera is back to working order :)
Sizzix. Another item that is old school. I only keep the dies that I truly love, and I use them just for cutting chipboard or foam. I love chipboard and this has saved me alot of $ on buying simple chipboard shapes. I use the white jetmax cubes from michaels to make a small die-cutting rea. These 4 drawer cubes fit the dies (all colors!) perfectly. Even my stampin up ones!
Do you still have your old sizzix dies?
