FAMILY wall art

 My daughter, Rachelle, designed this vinyl wall art for her family portrait wall.  It turned out amazing and looks great on the wall.  The right side is personalized with their family name.   This would make a great addition to any wall in your home.  It would also make a great anniversary or wedding gift! For more info or to order this item visit my Etsy shop.

Scout Shirts

My boys were getting ready to go to Scout Camp.  They wanted a t-shirt they could wear instead of their uniform shirt all the time.  They had a fun time trying to decide on something clever.  Here is the end result.  If you say it quickly . . .





 We used heat press vinyl.  I just use my DRY iron on the highest setting since I don't have a heat press.  It works pretty well.  Simply use a sheet of parchment paper over the vinyl so it doesn't stick to your iron.  If you do two sided shirts, be sure to use a piece of parchment on the reverse side as well! 

I do have a son that doesn't particular like his picture to be taken - thus the headless t-shirt.

Customer Photos

I did some vinyl for a cousin just after Christmas.  She took photos and sent them to me.  I think the vinyl turned out great - but I really LOVE her photo wall!!

This is the same saying that I did for her earlier, but she has since moved to a new house, and wanted the saying in white.  It is from Winnie the Pooh and says "Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart."  I love that saying for a baby's room.  Here is the original in brown.

Thanks for the pictures Michelle!!

Easter Project

I have seen this style of art lately and I really like it.  It's called "Subway Art".  I'm not sure why . . .   Anyway, I had the materials for this setting out for some time - in the middle of getting ready for my daughter's wedding.  So one day, I just sat down and put it together - mainly so I could get it out of the way and hang it on the wall - ha ha.  I did this one on an 8 x 10 board covered with scrapbook paper and "ModPodge".  Then I used lavender vinyl for the words.  Something this size would run $6.00.

Do you have a season or sport or idea you would like made up into "Subway Art".  Send me an email and we'll work something up for you. 

We Believe

The LDS YM/YW Theme for 2011 is the 13th Article of Faith.  I did this 12 x 12 layout to serve as a reminder for the youth of what THEY believe! 

Upcycled Windows

 

Old windows are really quite a popular decorating item now.  I have done several custom decals for customers to put on their old windows.  Here are a few of them.

Shop Signs

I have a friend in Florida who just opened up a new Boutique.  She makes handmade soap and she also carries candles and other fun items.  She had me do the vinyl signage for her shop walls and windows.  Here are a few pictures. 

Menu Boards

 Well, we had our girl's night on October 4th.  I got busy and forgot to take any pictures.  Everybody ended up with some cute boards, but the only pictures I have are the ones I took for the sample picture.  Most of the girls turned their frames sideways - I didn't think of that :)  But you get the general idea anyway.  It was a lot of fun having so many friends over and seeing the different ideas each of them had.

Personalized Nursery Wall Decal

My daughter wanted a fun decal for her new nursery.  She was using sage and brown for her nursery colors.  I think it turned out really cute and added a personal touch with his name on the wall.

Wipe off Calendar - 16 x 20

I had a request for a calendar to use on the inside of a frame.  She was going to use fabric behind the glass and the vinyl would go on the inside.  If you use dry erase markers, they can be wiped off and then the glass is ready for the new month.  I thought it was a great idea!  It could also be used on the outside of a dry erase board just as easily.

We are going to be making some menu/grocery list wipe off boards for our Girl's night in Ocotober.  I'll post pictures of those when we are done with them.

Large Swirly Tree for the Nursery

My daughter wanted a large tree for her new baby's room.  She is due in October.  Her husband painted the room a light gray.  Then she painted the crib black and made the bedding.  (You can check out her blog here or etsy shop here.)  Then we put the tree on the wall.  It looked great and the colors were perfect!  We had a lot of fun putting it up.  I will say it is a 2- or 3-man job!!  It took a while, but it was worth it when we were done.  My 2-1/2 year old grandson was so excited about the tree on his new baby brother's wall. 

For more information on this large tree email us.  We'd be happy to answer any questions.  To order visit my etsy shop here. 

There will always be ROCKS in the road ahead of us. . .

They will be stumbling blocks or stepping

stones; it all depends on how we use them.

 I had a friend that wanted to put some inspirational quotes on her office wall.  She was kind enough to send me a picture of her walls after she put them up.  I think they turned out great.  Thanks Dawn!
