Family Tree Design

I think this is officially my favorite design!  This originally began as a "Families are Forever" request.  The words looks so lonely on that big tile so I began to brainstorm various symbols relating to family.  My dad is huge on geneology and family trees and I decided to go in that direction.

I found the beautiful tree image online for free.  I converted it to a cutting file, then spent a good amount of time editing the file to make the image more bold.  I then cut the tree using glossy white vinyl and hand painted the brown trunk and limbs and the green leaves.  It is so beautiful in person!



I think this design is very versitile.  You of course can keep the "Families are Forever."  But how about "Our Family Tree" or even using your family name?  I can see this design hanging on a wall (or applied directly to a wall) in the middle of a collection of family photographs. 

The tree design is only available in a 12 inch square design.  Unfortunately it is far too delicate to cut in a smaller size.  But remember you can choose a different font or colors to suit your tastes.

Item For Sale - FAITH


This inspirational tile is an 8 inch by 12 inch piece of polished beige marble with beveled edges. This piece is so beautiful in person, the picture hardly does it justice.  The word "FAITH" was created using hand painted vinyl.  I used a combination of a rich deep purple and a pale blue:



Item For Sale - BELIEVE


This beautiful display tile was inspired by a special person in my life. The picture really does not do this piece justice!  The tile is an 8 inch by 12 inch piece of polished beige marble with beveled edges.  The word "BELIEVE" was created using hand painted vinyl.  It is a rich cranberry color:

Custom Work - Princess of a Heavenly King

I recently had the opportunity to sit with a friend and design some beautiful mirrors.  She told me what she wanted and we hunted for the perfect fonts and colors.  I let her drive the design and she applied the vinyl herself.

The first mirror she wanted to create was one that read "PRINCESS of a Heavenly King."  Here is the design concept:

And here is the finished design:


Didn't that come out so adorable?!?  I love how she added rhinestones to the corners and on the tips of the crown.

For her second mirror she chose to make a personalized LDS Young Woman value design:

I thought her idea to personalize mirrors was quite clever!  She found her mirror tiles at Target, in a pack of six mirrors for $20.

LDS Young Women Vinyl 2010 Theme

These designs represent the new LDS Young Women's theme for 2010:

“Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” (Joshua 1:9).

One of the things I love about this scripture is that there are multiple messages you can pull from it. I thought I would make a few designs to emphasize some of the highlights.

DESIGN A:



DESIGN B:

DESIGN C:


DESIGN D:
You can choose any color for these designs, and with design D you may also choose a second accent color for "thy God."

If you have a different design in mind or would like to add some embellishments please feel free to contact me! I love to design!

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.

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."
