Summer Bucket List

This idea has been floating my head ever

since I saw the new paper line from

Simple Stories: Summer Fresh. 

It was inspired by two of my favorite past projects...

 my gift bucket and our fall to-do list clipboards...

but this one is my favorite!

The tin bucket is from Hobby Lobby...

I used mt Cricut to cut the vinyl for the title.

I did consider Modge Podge-ing on paper letters or even stickers,

but in the end the vinyl worked great!

 I used scrap ribbon, fabric, and twine to embellish the handle.

At first I did the entire handle and was too much,

 so I did it heavy on one side and

then just a bit on the other... Ahh, much better!

The clothes pins ar made from bamboo...

they have a really nice color to them naturally,

but I had to add stripes of Summer Fresh paper!

On the reverse, I used a red pen to write out

 what we wanted to do this summer.

I also considered running the strips through the printer

 like I did before with the fall clips,

but in the end I liked the handwritten...

kinda relaxed version.

Some of our activities include...

TUBE THE RIVER

TAKE A ROAD TRIP

MAKE LEMONADE

HAVE A WATER BALLOON FIGHT

GO TO THE BEACH

TAKE DADDY TO LUNCH

I have a boredom jar (that will match) in the works...

that will include to the little things we will do more than once!

Be sure to come back and see it!

 I can't seem to make any decor without my fabric flowers! 

The yellow one is made from crape paper...

I just adore the red and yellow!

 The summer fresh line comes with the most adorable tags...

It was hard to choose just one

to dangle from the handle, but I managed!

I have invited a group of girls over for craft night

and we are all going to make one!

You should make one, too!
