Hope Signs

I have two friends who are crazy about everything Nautical. So I wanted to make something for them, and decided on these signs. I love how they turned out. I used paint tape to do the stripes, and vinyl to make a stencil for the letters and anchors.

Bleached Shirt

I wanted to make a gift for a friend who LOVES Disney. I used vinyl to cut out the letters and did a little test to practice spraying the bleach. I love how it turned out!

Playroom Rules Sign

I saw this idea on pinterest and I really wanted to make it for my dear friend who watches my kids and her grandson. I had all the supplies except for the little frame for the photo. I looked at many versions on pinterest, and then checked out my cricut cartridges and worked up a practice version with paper. Another friend took the adorable picture, and I absolutely love how it turned out.  I couldn't even wait for the glue to dry before I gave it to her! The most challenging part was determining the size and font for the rules... it took a while.

Photo that inspired the project! :)

Tile Food Labels

I got this idea off Pinterest - using corner tiles to make food labels for a party table. I found the tiles at Lowe's, and used my cricut and vinyl from pickyourplum.com to cut out cute bugs and flowers for Susie's blessing brunch. I found bright dry erase markers to write on them. I love them, and I love that I can pull the vinyl off and make new ones for a new party!

Laundry Room Change Holder

I'm horrible about checking pockets when I do laundry. And when I do remember, I throw change and stuff into a little plastic tub. I saw this idea on pinterest, and had all the supplies I needed. Thank goodness for a husband who keeps scraps of wood in the garage! I had an extra clamp from my key rack project. I used my cricut to cut the vinyl. Maybe now I'll remember to check pockets with my reminder by the washer!

Toy Workbench

My dad and Cam did the building on this project, I just gave them a little input about what I wanted. I painted it all and added the vinyl hammers and screwdrivers (thank you cricut!). I love how it turned out, and E hasn't stopped playing with it and all his tools!

Christmas decoration

At our church activity they had extras of these vinyl words, so I decided to make a quick little decoration. I painted the board, put scrapbook paper on, added the word, and then tied some ribbon on. Easy peasy!

Nativity Board

I saw the vinyl for this project on sale on a blog, and I ordered a few sets. She had used it for separate pieces for stocking holders, but I wanted to use it for one big board. I love how they turned out - if I had only ordered a few more!

It was a very quick project - stain the board, rub a candle on the edges, paint the board, sand to distress, put the vinyl on!

Dry Erase Countdown

I saw an idea for a Halloween countdown, and found this jack-o-lantern on one of my cricut cartridges. Perfect! It looks really cute on the mantle! And it only cost me $1 because I had everything else I needed to finish it!

Height Growth Chart

Cam had one of these growing up and wanted one for our family, but we knew that we won't be in this house forever. I saw this idea on pinterest and had to make one. I used vinyl from Pick Your Plum, my Cricut to cut the numbers, some craft stain gel, and a few coats of polyurethane to finish it off. Can't wait to watch E (and any future children) grow!
