Set of 12 Monthly Tiles

I am quite excited about my next project, I have designed a set of 12 tiles that you can display in your house throughout the year. Each month you will be able to freshen up your decor with a colorful themed 6-inch tile.

My goal is to ultimately have a large variety of designs available so you can customize what you would like to display in your home. I am currently working on a Menorah and a beautiful Santa, and I hope to also add tiles to celebrate other special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries. So if you are interested in a set of these tiles but would like to make a special request please let me know! In fact, if you have ideas for future tiles please leave a comment. I'd love to hear them. :)
January - Happy New Year
(circles are made with blue glitter vinyl)
February - Love You
March - Ornate Shamrock
April - Hoppy Easter
May - Mother is another word for Love
(you can customize the color of the flowers)
June - It takes a special person to be a DAD.
(you can customize the colors of the tie)


July - USA
August - Fun in the Sun
September - Back to School
October - Trick or Treat
November - Gobble
December - Nativity in silhouette
(the star is made with gold leaf vinyl)

Western Coasters



Another fun idea for your home are personalized coasters! Coasters are a way to let your personality shine through and make great holiday, housewarming, and wedding gifts.

These coasters are made using quality ceramic tiles that visually look like weathered stone. The tiles measure approximately 4 inches and each tile has individual character. No two coasters or coaster sets will ever be identical.

After the application of vinyl, the coasters receive several coats of sealer to protect the design. The base of the coasters are lined with cork to protect your furniture from scratches. Please note that these coasters are NOT dishwasher safe and should be hand washed with mild soap and water.

This set was designed for a Western fanatic. If you have an idea for a custom set of coasters, please contact me! I love custom orders! I would be happy to design something just for you. :)

Each of us is an innkeeper...


**Note - Naturally I caught the misspelling AFTER I snapped the picture.  I did fix the design but forgot to snap a photo before my personal tile made it in to the attic.  I will try to remember to update the picture next holiday season.  :)

"Each of us in an innkeeper who decides if there is room for Jesus."
This is a beautiful quote by Neal A. Maxwell that touches on the true meaning of Christmas. The Christmas star on this tile is made with gold leaf vinyl, and there is a manger filled with hay in the bottom corner. Both graphics can be removed if you prefer a words only tile.

Snowflake Decals


I am just ACHING for winter!! I live in Houston and it is still in the mid-70's temperature range. We have yet to experience fall while I have family shoveling snow and using ice picks in other states. So I thought I would try to get in the mood... :)

An easy way to bring winter in to your home is to decorate with vinyl snowflakes. You can place them on glass windows, mirrors, walls, doors, candles, ceramic canisters in your kitchen, and more! This is a great decorating activity for kids too.





I loved my test cuts so much, I decorated my laptop for the season!

LDS Young Women Value Tiles


This design is a personalized LDS Young Women's value tile. The tile you see above is a beautiful pale pink-beige color, perfect for girls! But you may choose any color tile for the backing.

This tile is a challenge due to the time involved in color piecing and applying the delicate letters.  You can personalize it with a name, and also a quote in the middle of the circle.  For mine, I added the phrase "Stand for Truth and Righteousness."

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts


I love this quote. I designed this tile for my husband who recently gave a wonderful motivational talk about the power of positive thinking.

I have over 50 colors of vinyl in my inventory so you can truly make this tile personal!  You can have it cut in all black, or chose your favorite color(s).
