Count Your Many Blessings Vinyl Wall Art

I've had a picture of my children hanging in my family room for close to a year now and every time I look at the picture I felt that it needed a little extra something to help it out. I often have a hard time with finding vinyl for my own home just because I'm so picky about what quote or what not I want. A few weeks ago I was looking online for some inspiration for a client and came across this quote. It was one of those head smacking moments. Such a simple phrase that I've heard my entire life! Of course it would fit perfectly with the picture of my three greatest blessings. Cheesy I know, but it was the perfect quote for the picture.

I knew the quote alone would be fine but the scrolls in the corner just add the perfect extra touch.

All of this vinyl is done in brown vinyl. The size is 8" tall and 27" long.

Here's a closer shot of the scrolls. It's actually three coordinating scrolls grouped together to look like one big one.
I love the way it turned out and it makes me smile every time I look at it.

No Soliciting Sign

Probably the most common email inquiry I get is about No Soliciting Signs. I would say I get at least 2-3 a week if not more. Being a Stay At Home Mom I know exactly what it's like to get pestered all the time by the wonderful door to door salesmen. So what better way to rid them, then to have a No Soliciting sign.

My signs are VERY affordable and are so easy to apply. The price generally for my No Soliciting signs is only $2.00, and since they are so small I don't charge shipping because they fit into a normal envelope that only requires normal postage. My most common inquiry about my No Soliciting Signs is about this sign. I've cut this sign I don't know how many times and it is always a favorite. It's a clean font, yet very legible and not boring either.

Recently a client graciously sent me a picture of the same sign in black. The size is roughly 3 inches tall and 5 inches wide.
Such a classic look and gets the point across perfectly.

Kisses for You Glass Block Vinyl Project

I did the vinyl for this project not too long ago for a craft night for a ladies church group. After they applied the vinyl they filled the blocks with Hershey's kisses. How cute!

Supplies:
7 1/2 inch square glass block
black vinyl (matte)
ribbon
Hershey's Kisses

If you would like to do this for your family, neighbors, church group, end of year teacher's gifts (HINT, HINT), craft night with friends, or whatever. Send me an email and they can be done and in the mail to you the very next day. I also have it set up to say "Kisses from Grandma" as well.

Names/Girls bedroom Vinyl Decor

My friend recently redid her twin girls' bedroom. She got her inspiration from Pottery Barn and recruited me to help out with some of the vinyl.
Here is the finished product. I did the names for her and she already had the vinyl birds. But I can do similar birds if you are interested. The font was a basic serif font (Georgia). It's done on Matte White Vinyl.

Here's a closer look.


So fun and so classic!

Glass Blocks/Wedding Center Piece Decorations

A couple months back I was able to do some vinyl for my husband's cousin that was getting married. For the table center pieces at the reception they had bought some glass blocks. You can find these at most craft stores with large holes already in place or you can also buy them from your local hardware store and cut the holes yourself. (But that route is slightly more difficult.) Anyway, they took the engagement pictures of the happy couple and put them inside the glass blocks. On the outside they placed vinyl with popular phrases about love on them on one side. On the other side were one to three word phrases in the bottom corner again relating to love.

The blocks turned out very nicely. I used two different fonts to give the phrases some contrast and a more "artsy" look. I used the fonts Trajan and Corinthia. I think those two fonts are a great contrast with on another.

Anyway, here are the pictures. Click on them to get a closer glimpse.













**If you are getting married this spring or summer and would like to do this project or another vinyl project for your wedding let me know and we'll work out a special wedding package that would be discounted from my normal vinyl pricing.**
