AMERICA Land Of The Free Because Of The Brave

4th of July is coming up. Hooray! I can't wait. Good food, good fun, good times. I made this simple saying "America land of the free because of the brave". My mom actually requested it. It's fun bright and perfect for any patriotic theme gift or décor. To purchase this vinyl go to https://www.etsy.com/shop/OurLittleVinylShoppe. Also if you sign up for my newsletter you can get a really good deal on this specific item during the month of July.

Father's Day Gift

For Father's Day, this year, I wanted to make a somewhat sentimental gift for my husband, even though he's not a sentimental guy at all. I've always liked the saying "Dad, A Son's First Hero A Daughter's First Love". I wanted to put the saying on a picture frame so I can put a cute picture of the kids in it. Luckily I have a daughter and son (and another son on the way). So this quote worked out perfect for me. I bought a raw picture frame at Michael's for like $3 (I think). Painted it with Behr Flannel Gray. Cut out my vinyl's in Gentian Blue and White. Then sealed the vinyl with Matte Mod Podge. That's it. All together that gift cost me maybe like $5 because I already had the vinyl, paint,  and mod podge. I tried to put the most recent picture of the kids but I know it will be getting updated frequently. Anyways, my husband loved the gift. I love it too. It's always helpful and fun to have dad around.

Wedding Reception Backdrop

A family friend of mine was getting married and she told me she really wanted to do a backdrop to take pictures at the reception. We looked at a lot of different ideas from Pinterest (Of course) and she found a style she liked a lot. After choosing the wording, I came up with the fonts and design. Likely my fonts matched her country themed  wedding. It turned out super cute. I kind of wish I had one at my wedding reception. Maybe when my kids get married (then again it might be out of style then, I still got at least 20 years until that happens). The wood was a little rough for the vinyl so it was sealed with mod podge, just in case. Unfortunately, these are the only pictures I have but if I can get some more, I'll add them to this post.
