Fresh Eggs, Anyone?

I designed this with a special friend in mind. She dove into the world of keeping chickens this year and wanted a sign to hang in her kitchen. I think it turned out nicely...

Dishin' it out

More sandblasting...how cool is this? Have you ever been left at the end of a large potluck trying to figure out which dish is yours? Well, never again! I have tried personalizing baking dishes with etching cream, and I have to tell you--it doesn't produce the same level of quality as sandblasting does. The etching cream will not work on older pyrex dishes. Plus, sandblasting produces an etch that is more visible (crisp) and won't fade like the etching cream ones will. This is the only way to go...thanks sandblaster!

Drink up, it's yours!

My husband and I played around with his sandblaster and found out we could do this to waterbottles. Neat, huh? Who wouldn't want their very own personalized waterbottle? They are perfect for sports teams or just keeping others out of your drink. Say "no" to sharing germs.


Tweet Jars

I found some really cheap jars (at my favorite discount grocery store in the world) and came up with this idea. The vinyl can be modified to fit the season (Valentine Tweets, Easter Tweets, just plain Tweets). Fill them with a tweet and give them away!


Oh J-O-Y

This is a little project that my sister and I did last holiday season. I was thinking of doing one for Halloween (B-O-O), but haven't found the right background paper. Each letter is on its own painted block of wood with cute scrapbook paper that makes the vinyl letters pop. Each block is about 7 inches tall.

Family is forever - on canvas

I have been playing around with vinyl on canvas lately and came up with this little number. I kind of like it myself. It is done using a 16" x 12" canvas. Let me know if you are interested in purchasing the finished product or just the vinyl. As always, the color scheme can be customized. I wonder what I will do next with the canvases sitting in my office? Hmmm...
