I gave my mother-in-law a picture of my son for her birthday with a cute saying "Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart"I made for the frame. He's the first grandson on my husband side of the family. And I gave my father-in-law a picture of my daughter with a different cute saying "The only thing better than having you as Parents is my children having you as Grandparents". I bought the frames at Aaron Brothers and printed the pictures and cut out the vinyl and placed it on the frame. Very cute. I love these frames. I saw some cuter ones with the same shape but I wanted the frames the have an easel. Maybe some day I'll go back for those frames for myself :)

Scrabble Letter Tiles
The game Scrabble is not my cup of tea. I am the worst speller. Probably why I'm not a fan at playing the game. On the other hand, I love the Scrabble home decor. I've seen huge outdoor games, pillows, pictures with the letters, and letters on walls and shelves. I wanted to create the wall idea for my mother-in-law. Originally I thought of doing just the grand kids but she thought it would be better with everyone's name. I'll have to admit, it turned out cute and better with more people.
First I cut the wood out at 3 x 3 inches. Their about 1/2 thick in depth. Sanding the edges. Don't round the corner. Keep them sharp. I kept them at there natural wood color, but you can paint them any color you like. Black or white would be nice. The game is just a natural wood.
Then I have my vinyl cut out at 2 x 2 inches, Except the "I" it's a little smaller. I cut out every letter for each name. Even though your not going to use all of them but you can constantly switch the letters around if needed.
I stuck the vinyl on each block with all the grain of wood going upright. You can also seal the vinyl with Mod Podge or leave it like so.
And it turned out darling. A little small, but just what I wanted. Because there are still more grandchildren on the way. Keeping enough room for more names to be added some day. Love it. For me, I would do 5 x 5 blocks, just because I only do my family, and there's only four of us right now. But if you have a huge family then I suggest smaller blocks, unless you have a huge wall to work with. Very cute.

Establishment Tiles
Establishment signs look very homey and nice looking. Just looking at them seems like they're expensive. Haha. At least to me. They do make good gifts. Very personalized. Makes a great decor to your home. I will constantly keep updated either this post or be posting other styles I see or come up with.

Halloween Plate Decals
I decided this year to do four (4) vinyl decals for plates this year for Halloween. You don't have to use the decals on plates. They can be used for other things as well. I made additional sizes if you want a bigger size for something else. Kept the decals very simple, but still cute. www.ourlittlevinylshoppe.bigcartel.com. Sign up for my newsletter to receive a discount on these decals and future vinyls.

More Baby Sleeping Signs
I love doing and making these little signs. Very creative and unique. The last picture I've already did "Children" instead of "Baby" in a past post ago. I will post the other signs on the web. I have 4 baby showers (all boys) coming up. I chose the colors for baby boy (but can be use either way) more boyish though. And I tied all the ribbon differently.

Days Until...
Have I told you how amazing Pinterest and Google are? Lots of great ideas and inspiring ideas. I saw this "Days Until" vinyl idea on Pinterest but the ones I saw were done on chalkboard. Cute idea. I know chalkboard paint, vinyl, and whatever else are in. But you can also use it on glass, like I did. Either way is cute. Chalkboard is cute but it is messy and a pain to work with chalk, in my opinion. Dry Erase is so much easier and cleaner. (I'm a clean freak) Plus you have the option to leave the back out of the frame or put in cute stationary paper or I put fabric. And you can always change it up every month or whatever. Great idea for holidays, celebrations, birthdays, vacations, school, seasons, etc.

Establishment Sign With Square Monogram
I've seen a lot of different kinds of establishment signs. Especially monograms on tile pieces. I love how simple yet elegant this vinyl looks. Although it's on glass it would look amazing on tile as well. I usually like to use beige with black, more so than white, because beige and black make it more warm and cozy and white and black is to stark and very contrasting. Plus if it's going against the wall, A lot of people have white or some sort of white/ivory/cream color. Some people may like this look but I rather use beige. With the white though, it will look good against a beige/brown wall (Like in the second picture, although it's on the carpet) It still turned out amazing and beautiful. This would have to be a custom order if your interested.
