2nd toy bucket and babywipe container

I am finding that my Grandson Zach is a great motivator to do crafts so today I finished the 2nd toy tote for him. Plus I decorated Nikki's babywipe container the other day too. For the toy tote I fought with the layering for 2 days and major frustrations trying to figure it out. Then I decided to give up and post in the Cricut forum (if you are a cricut owner it is a wonderful resource). What I was doing wrong is trusting the machine to size everything the way it was suppose to of course it was wrong so now I have that figured out I will be doing more layering figures.  I am really enjoying working with the vinyl. On to the projects

The baby wipe container paper and made stickers to apply them. 

I used the chore chart cart. for this this is the one that tried to layer and gave up so it doesn't have the toys in it but works anyway. 
 This is also the chore chart cart. This is the one i figured the layering out now I need to get more vinyl in more colors :).
Used the built in cart alphabet for this saying. 

The  Humvees left over from last bucket so just put them on here. (stand up and salute cart).

Next project is finishing up a couple of scrapbooks I have been working on for a while (and just haven't finished) or I have cookie jar

First Blog

For my birthday this year my husband bought me a cricut expression 2 I was so happy I have been wanting a cricut for a few years and really couldn't afford it.  For anyone that knows me I do not think I am creative but have been told that I am so I am going to do a blog to show off my projects that I have done. I have done scrap books in the past. My first attempt was a few years ago for my kids Christmas presents I was working on 2 scrapbooks at the same time and got them both done in less than a month time period.  Now to the present time. Since I have gotten the cricut I have done several projects with many more planned. :). I thought I would do more scrap booking with the  cricut but I have yet to do a layout.  I have been working with vinyl the last few days and really am enjoying that. I really cant wait for the craft room (a cricut thing) to open up so I can do much more with vinyl.  This is a tub for my grandson he is 5 months old and I decorated a tote for his toys. The cartridges that I used was Stand up and Salute for the Humvee. Just a note for the saying. Alphabet for the letters. This is one bucket. Hope you enjoy the blog.
