$50 My Vinyl Direct GIVEAWAY + Eyes That Glow

By 2 Comments

I love vinyl as much as the next craft supply hoarding girl. I have a stash. We shall not embellish on the details of said stash. Though I did recently make a fantastic discovery. Have you heard of My Vinyl Direct? I just received my first order and am super excited about it! It included glow in the dark vinyl!! This stuff is sooo fun! 

We decided to put it to good use cutting spooky eyes and placing them around the house on the piano, grandfather clock and in the windows. My five year old is obsessed with decorating for Halloween. No really, everywhere we go he either comments on the decor or asked the closest person why they have not decorated for Halloween. Today while taking a field trip to the hospital to have lunch with Daddy we passed by a room with a skeleton and he got all excited about their spooky decor. It was the community education room, pretty sure it’s there all year.

BTW, here’s a hint, glow in the dark is thicker than regular vinyl because it has shiny metallic back to help the glowing so set your craft cutter accordingly.
Anyway, back to the good stuff…
My Vinyl Direct has much more than just glow in the dark, though I am still geeking out over it. They have 36 matte colors, 28 gloss, chalkboard vinyl, dry erase vinyl, 32 colors of iron on transfer, and transfer tape to make sure they are all placed perfectly! They also sell in four different sizes as to be compatible no matter which craft machine you have. You can check out all the details and order here.
Matte Vinyl Single Sheets

This is Our Happily Ever After Temple Pictures

By 1 Comment

I ran across a cute print on etsy stating, “This is our Happily Ever After.” I loved the simplicity, but meaning behind it and decided that by adding temple pictures they could make really cute wedding gifts.

This is Our Happily Ever After Temple Pictures

I love fairy tales with the prince and the princess living happily ever after in their castle. The temple for me is my castle symbolizing forever so it is the perfect addition. 
I just added the saying on the glass of a shadow box in white vinyl and added the picture of the temple the couple was married in to the back of the box. This gives it nice dimension.

Lucky for us Kristyn from Lil’ Luna searched through and found 20 different non-copyrighted temple images and antiqued them so all you have to do is print them out and add them to the frame! She is so awesome right?!
I love the look of the images and the fact that they are black and white means they go with almost any decor scheme the couple may have chosen. The couple can also easily swap out the image for temple pictures from their wedding day.
I’m thinking I need to create one for myself now!

Tiny Little Treasures

By Leave a Comment

Do have a special outfit that your child wore that you can’t bear to get rid of? For me, it is the most simple little thing, a hand me down actually. With my first little boy a friend gave me all her boy clothes. What a blessing! My little one was totally outfitted without any effort on my part. I opened up the bags (that’s right, there were many) and immediately fell in love with this little Baby Gap number.

Don’t mind the weird position. He was honestly happiest this way on daddy’s arm and always had to be sucking on something.

He was born in December and what could be sweeter than a skinny little boy in candy cane stripes. It reminds me of olden time long underwear. Lucky for me, I had another little boy and had good reason to break out the candy cane jammies.

 

I absolutely love seeing all my favorites again. It’s like Christmas pulling the cute little outfits as he grows in to them.

I’ve learned the hard way that you need to be careful with these sweet little clothes. My kids have sensitive skin so I like to use detergents like Dreft that are free of dyes and scents that can be irritating to little skin. I am also careful to remove any stains before storing as they multiple over time! I don’t know how or why, but boy do they!

I have seen really cute ideas on how to use baby clothes once the baby years are past. I’ve seen quilts made from baby clothes, tiny items spray framed as art for the laundry room, and even cute shadow box displays.

How do you preserve your favorite little outfits?

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Dreft. As a part of this program I received the product, the opinions and text are all mine.
