I’ll pinch you back
Avry asked me the other day “Do you ever get tired of just doing wood boards with vinyl on them?” What do you think readers? Are you tired of just seeing creations of wood and vinyl? I don’t ever get tired of them. I guess I am easily amused! Here is another wood and vinyl creation. Avry texted me this cute saying, while she was laying in bed one night she had an ah ha moment. She thought up this fun saying ” if you pinch me, I’ll pinch you back.” I decided to take her fun little saying and put in on a board yes a board in vinyl as a…

Glittered Shamrock layered bead board sign
I just love the holidays and making new decorations for each one. I don’t have very many St. Patrick’s decorations. I decided to make a few more to add to my collection this year. I decided to make this fun layered bead board sign. I started out by cutting bead board 10″ by 12″ , next I cut a thin piece of particle board 7″ by 10″. I painted the bead board a fun lime green color and painted the particle board black. While the boards were drying, using my personal cutting machine I cut 6 shamrock shapes out of 2 shades of green vinyl and gold vinyl. I also…

Kiss me you fool! block
We did a little girls craft night during the super bowl. This was a fun and simple project for all of the ladies that attended our super bowl party. we had various sizes of 2″ by 4″ wood boards, some were 7″ or 9″ long. We painted the wood blocks white. While they were drying I arranged a few templates on my personal cutting machine. Some of the blocks said “shut up and kiss me” , “kiss me you fool” , and ” Can I barrow a kiss, I promise I will give it back?” I cut all of these different sayings in red vinyl. After the boards were completely dry…

Rustic wooden Heart
I fell in love with the wooden pallet hearts I have seen all over in the crafting world. I came up with a simple way to recreate my own wooden heart. I have been saving some wood flooring scraps to use for this project. I simply made myself a giant heart pattern out of paper, then I took 3 pieces of wood flooring and hooked them together using the tongue and groove that is already part of each wood piece. I traced my paper heart pattern onto the wood flooring, and then cut the heart design using a jig saw. I used liquid nails to glue the tongue and grove…

Valentine Play on words Board
Back in the summer time I fell in love with this 4th of July board over at the crafted sparrow. I have had it in the back of my mind ever since I saw it. I decided I didn’t want to wait until summer to create my own. I used her same style of template and came up with some fun Valentine words to put on my own board. I decided to keep mine really simple and did not add the wood trim. I painted a 8 1/2″ by 15 1/2 ” board white. While it was drying I created the template for the wording using my personal cutting machine. …

Love you More!
When my son was little we used to have contests on who could say they loved each other more. I would tell him I loved him and he would respond with “I love you more” this would go on and on.. I would say “I love you to infinity and beyond” then he would try to top me with “I love you to the moon and back” or “I love you more than you can think or say” One day when I dropped him off at school he told me that he loved me and got out of the car so fast that I couldn’t respond so I rolled…

Valentines Block favors
I’m always looking for a fast and simple gift for each holiday to give friends or neighbors. I whipped up these small blocks in just an hour. I painted them a light pink then once dry gave them a good sanding to sand off the edges. I found these cute cut and ink sayings on the Cricut design site. I put my silver pen in the Cricut and it did all the work for me! Once the cardstock I picked was cut and written on I went to work embellishing the cute blocks with these sayings. I had a lot of fun making them and now have a few small…

Glittered Heart Arrow
I am in love with this arrow craze! I just can’t get enough of all of the different arrow designs! I decided to put one of these fun arrows on a piece of wood flooring. I love using leftover wood flooring for projects. The fact that the wood is pre-cut and already stained, saves so much time. I cut this darling arrow heart design using my personal cutting machine out of white vinyl. I centered and applied the vinyl arrow on to my wood board. To give it a little something extra. I painted Mod Podge over the heart and sprinkled a fun deep pink glitter onto the heart. This project…

Bless your heart Valentines board
As I was wandering through a little gift shop, I came across a darling sign that read “well bless your heart”. I instantly knew this was a perfect little saying for Valentines day. I came home and got to work designing a template that I could cut and put on a board. I used some pre-cut scrap wood that I had laying around. I paint the boards gray and let them dry. Next I cut My saying out of white vinyl using my personal cutting machine. I applied the vinyl saying in the center of the board. It was still kind of plain and needed a little something. I decided to…
