My last post for now...

My sweet step-son will be getting married soon so we are preparing for the rehearsal dinner!  I love him and his beautiful fiance so very much and really want it to special.  Here are a few things that I have made for that night.  Now some are not made with vinyl, but if you are interested in me helping you with your next event with a few ideas, please let me know.

This, again, was a borrow from Pinterest.  It is an old window that I stained and added pictures from their years of dating and the top says "all because two people fell in love".  This will either hang in their bedroom or their sitting area of their new home.  I loved how it came out!
 

The roses were dried from when he proposed to her and I wanted to find something special to do with them.  So a shadow box was made!  

These are the invitations!!!  I LOVE THEM!!! They are printed, yes printed on a printer, on muslin.  Their wedding is following a natural theme and mason jars are being used so I also went with that theme.

 

I also thought to use baby food jars as pretend mason jars as favors!  Mason jars are a little expensive when you are looking to purchase 50 of them so baby food jars can be decorated to impersonate then...HA!  The tag says "sticking together from this day forward" and I will be putting gum in the jars.  The name tents and table decoration will coordinate with cardstock and burlap.  I also created a personalized coloring book for the flower girls and ring bearers so they have something to keep them busy at the rehearsal dinner.  It turned out so cute!!!!!  They will get it in a busy box especially made for them!

What can be done with wood...

I had been looking for something for my kitchen...what was I going to do???  Well, I decided to try to find a cabinet door that would match MY cabinets doors and see what I could do.  I love it!!!

When my first sweet grandson was born, I made him a board with his name on it and a saying...it now hangs in his room.  Then, when my second precious grandson was born, I wanted to make him one too...

Then I also wanted to make a few frames for him for his room...

A very special friend of mine had a sweet little boy, named Cole!  He is adorable!!  I wanted to give her a couple of things she could use in her nursery, diaper bag and for day care.  She decorated his nurser in brown and blue and accented with the cute ABC theme.  I also wanted to make a cute, but different door sign for the hospital and I was so happy with what I came up with!  I used a canvas, wooden cross and my cricut and this is what I came up with...

 

Didn't it turn out CUTE!!!!!  It now hangs in his sweet nursery!!!!

Well, then a friend of mine wanted something similar for new nephews wedding and after putting our heads together, this is what we got...

CUTE!!!!  Oh, the ideas are just endless!!!!!  This now hangs in Audra and Doug's kitchen!

Yup, there's more!! Blocks

These are blocks that were for Christmas presents!  I loved how they turned out!  On one side it is personalized with their last name initial and then the first names in the middle of the letter.  Then on the other side I was able to put a Christmas tree but a couple of people wanted to be able to use it year round and so a verse was added.

More pictures...

Here are a few items for your car...

Car tags and car decals.  The two decals are for businesses...I was able to personalized it to match the logo of their business.  I thought they turned out GREAT!!!  Please check them out!  Joyful Expressions by Ashley Pennington Glover (Ashley make custom frames that are great and reinvents old furniture) and Bare Your Cross by Chanel Thomas (Chanel makes BEAUTIFUL crosses).  These ladies are VERY special women!  They have pages on FaceBook so check them out!

It's been too long!

I fuss at my friends for not updating their blog more often and look at me...I am so sorry I haven't posted new pictures!  So, I guess it's time for an update!!

I have been kinda busy...I've found Pinterest!  There are so many fun ideas out there and some of them I remade and some of them I made new with vinyl!  I'll try to limit the pictures but I have several new things to post.  I hope you like what I have done!  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

This is a dish soap dispenser but I have added wire and colored stones to help add a little flair to it!  

 
This is one of those Pinterest ideas...the original idea used a wood soldering gun, but I thought I would give it a try with vinyl.  It turned out GREAT!!!  These hangers will be used for the bridesmaids dresses and will make really cute pictures!!

I'm back!!!

I am so sorry I have been away for so long!  I will be uploading several new pictures for you so I hope you have fun looking!  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!

You might have seen my motorcycle helmet in a previous post, but this summer I had a lot of fun making these...

 I just have so much fun with vinyl!!!!!

a few more...

I know you have seen my cake plate on here, but how about a pie carrier!!! It also carries eggs and cupcakes!!  I also saw a chip and dip/fruit carrier and would love to try one of those...maybe a wedding present???

 I made several of these for Christmas!!!  And the fun this is I can match those cute galoshes people are wearing these days!  One for your child or even your college student..or I even have one to match my cute rubber boots!!

 These were great stocking stuffers for my kids this past Christmas!  We all still love to travel together so when we are sharing bathrooms, these come in handy!

I still haven't mastered this blog-thing and can't seem to turn some of my photos.  BUT this is a cute car decal!!  This was done for a friend of mine who's little girl shows horses.  I also put her name under it in the pink...SOOOO CUTE!!!  If you are interested in a specific decal, I'm happy to work with you to get you what you want.

More...

 These are cute little picture frames that can be used around the house or in your office.  Any quote, verse or favorite saying.

This is a really cute way to display photos!!!  It can be personalized any way...sorority, fraternity, family name, childs name...ANYTHING!!

 

This was a wedding gift for my cousin Bailey and Heath.  You can match the colors of the wedding party or the colors in a home.

This was a special project for another cousin.  She found the "frame" - which is a cabinet door with a glass front - at a yard sale.  She wanted something on it that was special to her for her bedroom.  She LOVED it and I was excited to do it for her!!

Happy New Year!!!

Well 2011 has arrived and I cannot WAIT to see what it holds!!  Twenty-ten was such a great year for me that I can't imagine what this year will be like!

Since the holidays are over, I thought it was time to share a few new items with you!  These were Christmas presents so I didn't want to ruin the surprise by posting them too early!

How cute are these!!!??  They are the globe umbrellas that are personalized!  So personalized that I matched the colors on the umbrellas with the galoshes that each one of my girls already has!  And since I could personalize it to mach, my galoshes are purple with hearts...sooo.........

In addition to the cake carrier, I thought "why not a pie carrier", so I tried it out and I love it!  This carrier can not only carry a pie, but eggs and cupcakes!!

The next two I am soooo happy at how they turned out!  These are floating frames.  The personalization is right on the glass.  What makes this so great it that you can either hang it on your wall as it and let your wall paint come through the glass, OR you could put fabric behind the glass and hang it in any room and change it up as you wanted!  Move it from room to room and change the fabric to match the room its in!  I loved how they turned out!!  (Sorry that I CAN NOT figure out how to turn the second picture!)

I hope you all have a GREAT first week of 2011!!!  Keep checking back for fun new items to personalize!!!

Just a few random things for the week...

First of all, I hope you all had a very blessed Thanksgiving holiday!  I hope you all got to spend it with the ones you love and got plenty of rest for the upcoming Christmas season!  We got our tree up, a few presents bought (yes, my husband loves black-Friday shopping...and was out all night) and are all excited about the holidays with all our family home!!

I just thought I would post a few pictures of a couple of things I have been working on!  I have been a little busy with several orders for gifts and ornaments for trees, but I wanted to just show you a few items you haven't seen yet!

First is another glass block for a very sweet new friend!  I just love the monogram A with the family name in the middle!!!

This is just a set of a few items for a little girls birthday party - a tub, water bottle, pencil case and a set of cards that match.

Everyone loves a cake carrier!!!  I don't this I have posted this before!  People love to take cakes to parties and get togethers so why not take one in style!!  You can have it in any color, any monogram, Alabama, Auburn...oh the designs are endless!!  This Christmas I'll be making a few pie carriers too!  ($10)

A very special friend of mine just adopted a baby and I just had to make her a few personalized items for her nursery!  A wipe case, small hand sanitizer for her purse or the baby's diaper bag, large hand sanitizer for the changing area in the nursery, a picture frame for his room, little blocks for his room, and a clothes hamper/toy tub for his room!  She loved it and I loved making it for her!!!

I hope you all have a GREAT week!  I have a few other items I am working on that's new so check back soon!!!

Just a little something for your car...

I just love personalization!  You can make it just so...so...personal!  When I started this adventure with vinyl, a goal of mine was to make sure that people got what they wanted, in the colors they wanted.  You see, when I saw things I wanted they were always in a color that wasn't my favorite color - which is purple, and my favorite color combination is purple, black and white.  So if you are interested in anything you see on my blog, remember I can always change the colors, the wording, the verses or the artwork to suite your wants and needs.

With that said, I can do the same with car decals!!!  Car decals are just so fun because I think they reflect the person driving the car - fun and whimsical or straight lined!  Check out these car decals and then think about what could be on the back of your car window!! (All decals are $12)
