Checkbook covers


I fashioned up a new checkbook cover for me and my friends wanted them too. The insert of the checkbook cover is just patterned scrapbook paper, then I put a vinyl cut on the outside of the clear vinyl cover. I like it on the outside, it gives it a little depth. Do you like this project? then leave a comment here and I will give away 10 clear checkbook covers for you to add your own special touch to. I will give away 2 each to 5 winners. Good luck! (Check back on Monday for the winners)

    Very cute. I'd also like to try. Do you buy or make the base cover? Martha Stewart had a variation of these -- sewn clear vinyl w/ paper inside. Thanks!

    I absolutely love them. I follow you on the Cricut Vinyl board all of the time, and have used lots of your ideas. The heat transfer vinyl I bought from you was perfect for my girls' birthday shirts. Keeping my fingers crossed I win!!
