Recycling Bins
Monday, January 3, 2011
Hey guys! I'm sure you all are trying to get back in the regular routine like me. We had such a lovely break, it was hard sending everyone off this morning. So, after a bumpy morning I finally got around to playing with my Silhouette SD machine by myself. One of the reasons I wanted to get a Silhouette to badly was so I could jazz up our home a bit, although this first project was more about necessity.
We have these two large trash cans next to our refrigerator for recycling. We are a third one in a tall cupboard for trash. Since these are sitting out, everyone always assumes they are for garbage. Not anymore my friends!
I purchased the "recycling image" from the Silhouette Store for 99 cents (everything is 99 cents) and I used a font that was already on my computer for all the words.
I used the recycling image 4 times- 2 large and 2 small. I inserted the numbers inside the small image to show which kinds of plastic our town will allow us to recycle.
I did have to cut the "glass, paper, plastic" twice. I pulled the vinyl off too quickly and it all got stuck together. There's a learning curve to this, but I think it's a pretty small one.
Now, what should I do next. There are so many things I was to try. Any suggestions?
Have a great day!

I think you did a fabulous job. I am interested why you chose the Silhouette over the Big shot, Vagabond, or the Calibur.
great job and they are just too cute!
Great idea! You won't be disappointed with the Silhouette!
