Vinyl is not just for your front door

    Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic day.  Today I am just hanging out watching the Olympics.  Go USA!!!  Woot Woot.
    I finally got my computer to read my memory card this week.  I am excited to share this fun and quick project with you.
    I wanted to dress up a few of our inside doors. I have seen people have "Pantry" and "Laundry" on their doors and it looks darling.
I found a super cute PANTRY vinyl decal in the EAD Designs shop but I couldn't find any LAUNDRY vinyl decals.  Normally I would be bummed but I knew that EAD Designs offers custom orders.  I simply typed them up a little email and said what I wanted and the BAM it was in my mailbox a few days later.  Talk about speedy service!

Welcome Door Decal

Hi everyone!  I hope you are all having a fantastic Saturday.  I am super busy unpacking and putting together our new home.

I am also so excited to share all the projects I have going on.  LOL it seems like the house building process has took forever, especially since I am so excited to start decorating our home.

I wanted to share a cute and fun idea to dress up any door.  I wanted to start off by doing our front door.  I still need to stain it though.  I will share that entire process in a few weeks.  I decided to dress up our door that is inside the garage (man cave).  

EAD Designs has the cutest welcome signs!  You can check them out here:

I love how much this little vinyl decal added detail to the door!  It was so super easy to put on the door too.  Another plus :)


See you all next week with another home decor idea.

Decorating My Scentsy

Hi everyone!  I hope you are all having an exciting weekend.  I wanted to share a fun project with you today using a scentsy candle warmer.

I recently got a new scentsy catalog from one of my friends and was browsing through it the other day.  I found some decals they were selling to decorate the scentsy warmers.  How cool is that?!

I didn't find a decal that I was really digging...  I decided to use one of my favorite decals from EAD Designs.  I love love love these cute little flowers (lots of different designs on one sheet)  You can find them here:

I really love that I have the option to choose what color of vinyl I want the flowers in.   EAD Designs is just awesome like that.  They also carry TONS and TONS of different designs and decals to decorate your candle warmers with.  You can check out all the other designs here:

  I chose the flower one this time since it is summer, I can't wait to change it up this fall and winter.  So much fun!!! 

See you all next week!

Personalizing The Cooler

Hi everyone!  I hope you are all having a fantastic weekend!  I wanted to share a super simple and easy project using vinyl with you today.

This past week my hubby went to scout camp as a leader.  They needed to take a couple extra coolers to keep some food in.  I sent some of our up with him but first I wanted to add our name to them so they don't get lost among all the others.

I used my cricut die cutting machine and a basic font cartridge.  I then picked out a color from my favorite vinyl from EAD Designs and went to town.


If you don't have a die cutting machine, no worries EAD Designs can create something just for you.  Check that out here:

What I have been up to....

I am back!  ... almost ;)
Life has been so busy the past few months I had no time to blog or really craft.  We are just finishing up building our new home.  Needless to say with all that and packing, I have been so busy.


My craftroom is all packed up a ready to be moved.  For some reason my craftroom was the last thing I packed up but I am sure it will be the first thing unpacked ;)


I have some really fun and exciting things in the works over the next few months.  I can't wait to tell you all.  Until then, have a fabulous day!

Mustache Cups

I wanted to share a fun project with you all today.  I found some really really really cute vinyl decals on the EAD Designs website a few weeks ago and just had to have them.  I knew what I wanted to make right away- some cute mustache cups.
Right now I have been seeing lots of fun and bright colored cups everywhere I go.  I purchased these ones at wal-mart the other day and they we so super affordable!  I think I may have to go back and purchase all the colors they have.


Aren't they just darling?! Think how much fun these would be for kids, family reunions, cook-outs and much more.  I can't wait to pull them out for our next get together.


Be sure to head on over to EAD Designs and pick up your mustaches :)

My Favorite Vinyl And A Banner

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic 3 day weekend ;) For today's project I wanted to make something fun while answering one of my most asked questions. I always get this question: 

Where is the best place to get vinyl for your Cricut Machine? 

Answer: 
*I have used a lot of different brands of vinyl in my machine and I have to be honest and say that the vinyl I purchase at EAD DESIGNS works best. 

Why I love EAD DESIGNS Vinyl you ask? 
*Extremely High Quality Vinyl 
*Doesn't Peel 
*Cuts like butter in the Cricut Machine 
*Free Transfer Tape with vinyl 
*Tons of Colors/designs to Choose from 
*Fast Shipping, I could go on an on…. 

You just need to go try it out for yourself! Here is a project that I made using the vinyl sheet from EAD DESIGNS
 



Supplies Used:
Paper- Kraft, The Paper Studio
Die Cutting Machine
Twine- Timeless Twine
Vinyl- EAD DESIGNS
Gems


I love making banners for all the Holidays and Special Occasions.  When I make a banner I want it to last for years.  I have tried just using paper letters and gluing them down.  Over time the glue starts to come apart and the letters fall off.  I have used other brands of vinyl and it is okay for a while but eventually it start peeling off.  I can say that I have never had a problem with the vinyl sheets from EAD DESIGNS.

Be sure to go check out all the vinyl sheets for your Cricut Machine.
Trust me… Once you use this vinyl, you can never go back

Personalizing Photo Albums

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic Saturday!  It is so crazy that we are almost through with May.  Where did this month go?  Anyways, I am so excited for June!  I have some super fun project ideas for you.  If you like new home decor ideas, you will surely love what I have coming up.


In the meantime I have a quick project for you today.  I also have a little secret...  It may seem like I would be the type of person who makes scrapbooking layouts for birthdays, trips and holidays.  That is FAR FROM THE TRUTH!  I don't even have a personal scrapbook...  Crazy huh!


Well I have been organizing my photos and putting them in photo albums.  I wanted to share how I am personalizing the albums.  All I used was some of my favorite vinyl from EAD DESIGNS and a die cut machine.  If you don't have a die cut machine, no worries EAD DESIGNS can create something to fit your needs.  They are so awesome to help anyone out!






Be sure to head on over to EAD DESIGNS and check out their fantastic products.  See you all next week!
