Barn wood sign

I made my first barn wood sign. I used the wood we saved from my in-laws pole barn we tore down several years ago. I used walnut stain on the boards, and cut the stencil out of contact paper with my lynx. I should have put a couple coats of poly on before I did the painting of the letters. I had a really hard time getting the contact paper to stick to the wood, and had some edges that bled. Now I know for next time :)

Easter/Spring Mirror

It is so difficult to photograph mirrors!!!

It was time to change the entryway mirror again.  I used clear contact paper and 2 different files from My Vinyl Designer.

HTV T-shirts

I finished up the T-shirts for the Spring Rally last night.  I am pleased with how they came out.  I did 5 white and 5 red.  The font I used for Glorious is Caramel Crunch.

Tumblers

I finally purchased a few tumblers and had a chance to vinyl a few of them.

this is mine

for my daughter's friends who had birthdays this week
totally scraplifted from Denise at the smartbuygal.com forum!

make shift wrapping lol!

Wall Words

sorry about the glare/reflection!!!

I added more words to my walls :0)  My daughter-in-law calls them my wall tattoos!!!

Wall Words

This blank wall above our basement steps has been staring at me for a couple of years.  I decided to take care of it today.  The file is from  my vinyl designer  I had to sit on a half wall and lean over the stairs while I applied this-not fun!!!! lol

Let it Snow Mirror

It was time to take the Valentine's message off the mirror.  I debated between this saying and a spring theme.  I chose this seeing as it is only February and around here that means more winter to come, even though it had been 40's and 50's the last few days.  Woke up this morning to cold, windy and snowy...........

just a note-this is clear contact paper, not glass etch vinyl.  It removes much easier than the vinyl :0)

fonts used-inspiration and arial

Mirror

Christmas is over, so it was time to change the mirror again.  The previous times I used glass etch vinyl when I did the mirror.  This time I used clear contact paper.  I am just as happy with this as with the glass ecth vinyl, and this is cheaper, and I am hoping easier to remove!  The contact paper was more difficult to weed-you definitely need good lighting!

My apologies to Heather!!!! I was unsure of where I got the heart svg file,( I have hundreds of svg's, and unfortunately they are not very organized!) and it was hers. I shouldn't have posted it not knowing where it came from, and I apologize. I have removed the hearts from my file, and posted the link to her for the heart.

The heart svg is available here

Frame Makeover

From this...

to this!!!!

I have been saving this picture for years, hoping to give it a makeover.  I finally got around to it.  It is a large frame, like 22" x 17" or something like that-I forget.  I took the picture out, spray painted the frame, and vinyled the glass, and hung  it in my foyer.

Tiles

I am finishing up some last minute gifts.  These are 6 x8 tiles.

I used outdoor vinyl for both.  I added stickles (glitter glue) to the Hello Kitty tile for some sparkle.

Glitter Ornaments

Here are a few more glitter ornaments.  Just a note-I discovered my roll of painters tape hold the ornament great for applying vinyl!!!!

Garage Door Vinyl

My friends son comes home tomorrow for the first time since he joined the Air Force.  He's been gone 6 months.  She asked me to put words on the garage door for her.  I just finished it-it was so cold!!!!!!!!!!  I was afraid the vinyl wouldn't stick, but it seems fine.  Sorry for the shadowy picture-it was dark by the time I finished.  I know it isn't centered the best but we wanted the logo centered on a rectangle, and it was too cold to measure!!!!!!

Christmas mirror

  

It was time to change the Thanksgiving images(previous post) out for Christmas.  (I used glass etch vinyl.  The font is Notnorval hmk bold))  Now that I'm done and look at it, I wish I would have made the ornaments smaller.  Oh well. it's only up for a few weeks.  I'll remember that next time!!!!

Word Christmas Tree file to share-svg & scal 2

I made this file last week, but haven't had the opportunity to make anything with it yet.  I thought I would post it anyway in case someone else wanted to use it.  I would love to see how others use it!!!!  There are 3 border options included, although I'm not sure if  I like them.

Thanksgiving Mirror (etched glass vinyl)

I just found this file and wanted to try it out. I love the look of etched mirrors but didn't want to do anything permanent.  I purchased this glassl etch vinyl a year ago and decided to use it.  I bought 2 "colors", a light and a dark.  This is the dark, and it shows up really well.  I really like how this looks, and plan to change it with the seasons.  I know the pictures are terrible, but this mirror doesn't come off the wall easily and I had to work with what I had.
