Project Helper with Clear Containers by Shanna

Hello SRM friends!  This is Shanna here today sharing with you an "outside the box" way to use utilize SRM's fabulous clear containers!  

I have been coloring an awful lot here lately, and I tend to get distracted or interrupted easily (a.k.a. KIDS!) and then forget which exact colors were being used on my current project.  Especially frustrating if I am wanting to duplicate a card or need to touch up a spot I had to walk away from momentarily!  

SRM to the rescue! 

I used SRM's clear mini box and Tall Thin Box to create not only a spot to hold my markers while using them on a project, but a spot for my water brush too!  YAY for organization!  I grabbed a scrap piece of SRM Vinyl in black to make some cute labels for my containers and Voila! I have a small obsession with script fonts and just loved how this turned out....the font is called "Hello Gorgeous" for my fellow font aficionados.  

I decided last minute to adhere some sticky back velcro dots to make the boxes removable from the container that holds all the colors.  I like that I can just have the little boxes on my workspace if I want, as my workspace *shrinks* the longer I create! 

  

Supplies used:

SRM Clear Mini Box

SRM Tall Thin Box

SRM Vinyl- Black

SRM Vinyl transfer paper

Silhouette Cameo

Sticky back Velcro dots

Let me know what you think!

Is there anything you could use some help organizing?

Halloween Treats 4 Ways by Samantha

Hello! Samantha here, and today I'm getting ready for Halloween. I've got 4 different containers all packaged up with treats, but here's the best part: I only used one sticker sheet to decorate all 4 containers. 

I'm telling you, no matter what you have to package up, SRM has a container for that! As you can see in the photo above all 4 containers are decorated with stickers from the We've Got Your Sticker Treats sticker sheet. Here's a closer look a the different containers I chose to use and what fits inside.

First up are the pillow boxes. They come in 3 different sizes (small, medium, large) and 2 different materials (kraft and clear). The small pillow box is perfect for a handful of candy corn, while the medium size fits a couple of fun sized candy bars or bags. The clear are a great way to show off brightly colored candy, while the kraft are great for making your treat a surprise. 

One of my all time favorite SRM products are the clear tubes, but if you're looking for something just a bit different this time around (and something that won't roll away from you), these tall thin clear boxes are super fun. I stuffed mine with 4 pieces of licorice, but smaller candies like Rollos, M&M's, Skittles, Kisses, and the like fit wonderfully in this box. 

The last box I decorated was a kraft window box. This comes in a few different sizes, but I chose the 4 1/8" x 4 1/8" size. This box fits 3-4 fun sized candies in it. You also get the best of both worlds; both a clear window and a kraft box to decorate with stickers. You can even match your stickers (pumpkin sticker) to your candy (Reeses Pumpkin) like I did. 

And that's it guys! All you need is one sheet of stickers to decorate all these treats...and you'll even have stickers left over to use in your planner or scrapbook.
