2010 - Halloween Door using vinyl lettering

I love to decorate my front door with vinyl for the holidays.  It is such a fun and inexpensive thing to do.  This year my door is a combo of ideas.  The "Happy Halloween" was actually a gift from my friend Kristin.  Thank you Kristin. :)  She found the image at vinyl ready designs.  I love it.  I cut out my spider on the Trick or Treat from the paper doll dress-up cartridge.  The trick or treaters I found at a wonderful blog called Images by Heather.  She has such great ideas.  Thank you Heather.

2010- Pep rally treat for Football

My son helped me come up with this year's Football pep rally treat.  It was very quick and easy. :)  You can see my past years' ideas here.

Name board for baby nursery in LUAU theme


This was made for a baby girl and her room was decorated in bright LUAU colors and theme.  I used the plantin schoolbook cartridge for the name, Lyrical letters cartridge was used for the I am a child of God.  I found the sun here. Thank you Kristin for recommending this site to me. LOVE IT!  I usually don't paint the back of the board, but, I decided to add a finishing touch.  :) 

Vinyl lettering on glass ... I love to see the temple. (Floating Frame)

I found this tutorial and knew exactly what saying I wanted to try.  So, I tried a 12 X 12 version and as I was pushing in the glass..it broke.  I was disappointed...but, tried again and here are the results. I love how the color of the wall shows through.  I learned how to "word wrap" using SCAL here.  Michele is amazing and is always so willing to answer any of my questions.  I highly recommend purchasing SCAL
through her. :)  Once again, the temple image was purchased here.

Vinyl lettering on tiles using cricut and SCAL

I saw this design and wanted to duplicate it for a gift.  It turned out great.  I love this saying!
Recently I found a wonderful website call www.myvinyldesigner.com.  They offer files that are already made and you can purchase them and download them quickly.  They have a lot of the LDS temples.  I got this image from there.  I love it.  It saves so much time and the cuts are so crisp.
I found an image of the Salt Lake Temple and converted it to an SVG file using Inkscape and SCAL.
I found this saying on a website that my friend Kristin introduced me too.  They sell files that can be bought, downloaded and cut out within 15 minutes.  LOVE IT!  You can find it here.

This was a fun tile I made for a gift.  I love this saying.

Wall Decor using cricut home decor cartridge

Love this cartridge.  Thanks Shontell for letting me borrow it.  I love this flowering branch.  I have used it on walls, cards and gift bags.  I only have a picture of the wall. :)
