These are perfect for the entry, bathroom or bedroom! Paint yours pink with polka dots and add your little girls name for a fun towel rack. Put your monogram in the center, get some fabulous magnets, and use it as a memo board by your entry. SO many possibilities! Each one is a custom order and made just for you! So if you need more hooks or length, just let us know!

The price is $35.00 and is a great Christmas present for family, friends and teachers!

This family below sign was the talk of the booth! Add knobs and hang pictures below to show off your beautiful family! Price $40.00 as is, $50.00 with knobs and frames (up to 5 knobs/frames)

How fantastic would this look in your kitchen, entry, bathroom, laundry room, classroom....heck, anywhere!

(Products like this are why I love my job! Yes, We got excited about a frame and some chalkboard vinyl, but LOOK at it!)

The interior of the frame measures 24x30. The chalkboard area is chalkboard vinyl NOT paint! This is a one of a kind. We lucked upon this frame and KNEW it was destined to be a chalkboard!

It is currently a distressed, antique white. If you buy it and would like the frame a different color, we're happy to oblige!

Email us if you would like pricing information for this piece. We can ship, but buyer must pay actual shipping costs. It is not a heavy piece, but is large!

Cabinet Doors and more!

2009-07-01T12:35:00.000-07:00

Have we mentioned that vinyl doesn't just have to go on you car or wall. Think outside the box! Our vinyl adheres to just about any smooth surface! Old windows, cabinet doors, mirrors, even canvas!

How cool is this!? This thrown away cabinet door has turned into a lovely wall hanging!

One of our customers found this old pizza board and wanted to put some vinyl on it! This is their family motto! The plan is to put it on the wall with a family picture in font of a large tree. I love doing custom projects, our customers are always so creative!

Finally for today, this customer is military and has to move a lot. Instead of the usual "Home is Where the Air Force Sends Us", they chose an alternate quote.

"I took the Road Less Traveled and it Made All the Difference"

Under is listed each of the places they had been assigned.

Coming up soon: SuperSaturday Craft kits for your church group or girls night!

Commissioned Mirror

2009-06-11T09:29:00.001-07:00

There is a great story behind this piece. We were asked to do it as a gift for a local orthodontist. I wish I could share the story, but the short of it is, he and his office donated complete orthodontia and this was just one small way to say thanks.

The mirror was about 8 1/2 inches in circumference. It was a very heavy frame, just beautiful.

The scripture is Matt 25:40 Verily, I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

The background is a silhouette of the Christus statue.

I loved the mirror with just the silhouette! When we started this project, we had an idea of the end product. The mirror with the quote. We thought we would try it with some kind of silhouette in the background. I searched through my files and just didn't find anything I liked.

Just by happenstance, I was on our church website and saw a picture of the Christus. I thought it would be perfect! After many attempts, I finally created a file that conveys the feeling of the statue.

I delievered the finished project yesterday to the customer, and they LOVE it!

More Customer Projects

2009-05-27T09:11:00.000-07:00

What a fun shop this is! If you happen to be in Manchester, NH you must go! I love pink, so this is right up my alley! Even the rocks are pink! You should see the pictures of the inside! SO CUTE!Right from the street, the welcoming arch is just inviting you to come on in and stay a while! Ok, so we did the gifts, jewelry and purses. I think they look fantastic!

She chose a really fun font! It is bi-colored pink and white. I'd like to say our vinyl made

all the difference, but this place was spectacular long before our vinyl.

And look at those fun purses! This is totally the type of store I love!

Even the name is cute:

2009-05-04T20:38:00.000-07:00

The past few weeks have been busy to say the least!

We have had three school fundraisers going, and then this past weekend, we went to Atlanta for 3 days! We had a blast! We went to the Scrap Etc. event in Atlanta to provide on site vinyl lettering. To say it was fun is an understatement! Candi, April (my sister), and I got to meet lots of fun ladies with such adorable ideas for their vinyl projects!

Here are a few pictures:

There is Candi at the table working on one of the "When Life gives you scraps, make something" boards. That one was SO cute! We actually didn't have the right shade of light blue with us, and we promised to find it for our customer. Candi has a Sister-in-law in Atlanta who has a friend who does vinyl.....whew...anyway, she thought she had the right blue. We were so excited! Turns out it was the same color blue we had. We thought we were not going to be able to deliver. After lunch on Saturday, April and I were walking around the mall and we past this kiosk in the mall. They sold customized "traffic" signs. It was as if trumpets sounded as the light blue vinyl came into view! We bought just enough of it to make the sign, as they were charging us a CRAZY amount for it! But, we will do whatever it takes to make our customers happy, and we were we happy to find the vinyl color that was JUST right for her sign! And, it looked SO good! (Sorry dont have a picture......)

Family Signs (8x22)....$30.00

The family signs were popular, as they always are! Such a great gift for anyone really! Looks great leaning on a shelf, hanging on the wall....anywhere!

These signs below and the Make Something boards were the hot items of the weekend! We will post some pictures of the "When Life gives you scraps, make something" signs! SO CUTE!We took this picture before the clips got on there.

Look What I Made Board....$34.00

I wasnt so sure about the colors before we got it on the board, but this one is probably my favorite! It is so funky and fun and unique! The clips on these boards are magnetic, so your child can take the clip off to put on their artwork, then stick it right back on the board. They are 24 inches long and 12 inches tall. You pick how many clips! You can choose your font, if you want flowers, stars, dinosaurs, whatever!

This board was our last order of the event! It turned out so cute! This was made for three little girls. How cute will their art look on their!This is our board selection table on Saturday. By the end we were out of all the black boards, and had only the red board leaning on the wall left! We still had some brown and creme boards, but they are already being put to use with more orders! What a great idea Candi had to bring prepainted boards! That was us BEFORE it got crazy! Did I mention yet that we were up until 4am filling orders. We had a great time making them too! I dont think I have laughed so hard in a LONG time! We got to hang out with some really fun/funny girls! I couldnt believe there were still scrapbookers working on their scrapbooks when we left to head to our hotel rooms!Metal Teacher's Sign.....$15.00

This was something we came up with at the event. The scrapbook store had these 8x11 sheet metal pieces, and we saw them and knew we could do something adorable with them! Great teachers gifts!!!! Below is a picture of part of our display. I think it looks awesome!

Huge thanks to our families for being supportive of our venture! It is such a rewarding experience to see people enjoy our designs/products as much as we do! The weekend was filled with lots of laughs, vinyl, paint, new friends, and so much more! Oh the stories we could tell......

To order any of the items pictured above, just email us! We would love to create one just for you!
