My sister in laws birthday was recently and I made this for her. It reads

to do with the time that is given to us"
by Gandolf the Gray

The vinyl is brown and the font is called Kelt.

Remember this?Well, this is what I did. I found the frame at the thrift store and spray painted it black. Now I can give it to my brother who was married in Aug, I know I'm late.I liked it so much that I made another for my brother in law who will get married Jan '10. I am on top of it now!

Other vinyl projects

I have been playing with my vinyl cutter and using it whenever I can. Last month we had YWIE. For those who don't know what that is, it's a chance for the 12-18 year old girls in my church to kind of show off what they have done the last year. I was in charge (scary I know), and I wanted it elegant. I used an idea from Michelle over at Under my Unbrella. (Thank you Michelle!!) I found the rustic stars and spray painted them black. Then cut I Believe in white vinyl. I think they turned our so cute. Each one of the girls got to take one home.

It was so fun to play around with different ideas!

My SIL called and said "what can you do?" We played around and this is what turned up.

Unfortunately, I don't have a finished product picture as she is in Idaho. I think it turned out cute and my niece is happy (and so is her mom).


My next project isn't quite finished but here's a sneak peak. When I'm done, I will have two done. My little brother got married in August, I know I'm behind. We weren't able to make it as I had to go to girls camp and couldn't fit everything into a short amount out time. Anyway, I have seen the family name, established with the year on the boards but thought to tweak it just a little.

Wood Stackers

I am totally in love with vinyl. There are so many things that can be done with it. It goes on everything and there are such great colors. I have been busy painting and making things so that I can show you what can be done with vinyl. If you see something that you like that I have done or something someone else has done, let me know. Together we can create something beautiful for any holiday or home decor. This is what I have been playing around with lately. I will have more later when I get more pictures.

I know that Halloween is over but I had to show off this Halloween stacker and of course, the Frankinstein that my daughter made for Halloween. So Cute! Don't worry, I did make a Thanksgiving stacker also.

Here is that Thanksgiving stacker. Don't forget that I can change the font. I am always looking for new fonts. Also, a fun autumn stacker:
Leaves, Pumpkins, Scarecrows
Apples, Autumn, Back to School
Leaves Curl, wind Swirls, Autumn is right on time

I didn't forget about Christmas. It's my most favorite holiday. I love the colors, the smells, the decorations, the excitement, snow, and of course, the shopping. This particular Christmas stacker is also sprayed with a spray so that the wood sparkles. You can't really see it in the picture. Other Christmas stacker sayings:
Mistletoe, Candy Canes, Sugarplums
Silent Night, Holy Infant, Heavenly Peace
Light fades, Stars Appear, Evening angles gather here
Snowy Days, Frosty Nights, And Warm Hearts


I don't have picture, yet, of other stackers but here are more stacker sayings:
