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.

 

Memorial Day Poster Sign

I made this poster sign for my church for an activity. I got the idea for an invitation online. I just changed the fonts, wording, and used vinyl. Cute layout though. Thanks partymonkey on www.etsy.com. Typically it seems anyone does their posters on a foam board or paper. But I wanted to do something a little more creative and nicer looking.

There's This Boy...

The first time I saw this saying, "There's this Boy, who stole my heart, he calls me Mom." I fell in love with it right away. I hoped that someday I would have a little boy of my own, that way I have a good reason to make a cute sign with that saying. Sure enough I did have a boy, who is very handsome, almost 7 months now. My sister-in-law, Britney, have her baby boy, and I really thought she would love that saying as well. Below is what I made for her.

Nursery Branch

My sister wanted something done special for a friend's baby shower. She didn't want to give her a typical gift. With is understandable. I'm kind of the same way. She wanted something cute on her wall for her soon to be baby girl. After a lot of trying to figure out what she wanted. We came up with this. Now I can't take full credit of this design. But very cute. If your looking for a unique gift for someone special for their little one or even for yourself.
