Halloween Pacifier

Isn't this a super cute idea?  You can update your boring binky through the year to match special holidays.  Or, you could choose a monogram or picture that suits your personality.  I just wish I knew that baby was going to be a frog, I would have suggested a little bug.  Wouldn't that have been cute?

Thomas Bucket for Halloween

This was a custom request for a cute 3 year old train engineer.  I have to admit I am proud of this one, it involved six layers of color piecing!

Halloween Fun

Vinyl can be loads of fun around Halloween!  I've already shown you customized costumes, cars, and buckets.  Here are a few more ideas:

A mess free way to decorate pumpkins!




Decorate your candles, and after Halloween is over they return to normal without any damage:  (sorry, don't know why blogspot is rotating my picture)



Decorate your mirrors, or other regular features in your house.  This is a decorated magnet board, usually plain green:

Space Decals for Halloween

A special little astronaut needed to get decked out for Halloween.  I was asked to personalize a plastic helmet and bucket for trick-or-treating.  Right now Michaels has $1 buckets in various Halloween colors in stock.  They are perfect for gathering sweets!

Here is the helmet.  I made a rocket for the top, and wrote "Commander " in a futuristic font.



And are a few shots of the bucket.  I think it came out so cute!  I created an Earth, Saturn, spinning galaxy, alien ship, and a few scattered stars.  The colors popped nicely on the black bucket.

Wood Blocks

Earlier this year we had a fun Relief Society meeting, we made fun "E-a-s-t-e-r" blocks to decorate our homes. 



Most people decorated the back of their blocks with "S-p-r-i-n-g", but of course I had to vinyl it up my own way.  I decided to take my blocks home and make a decoration I could enjoy year round.  A few pieces of blue, green, and brown paper later and this is what I created:


I love how it turned out, and now I wish it hadn't taken me six months to get around to it!  :)

Killer Whale Card

I don't make cards often, but I love how this one came out!  I know I will use the killer whale design for future scrapbook pages.  This project is entirely paper, but I can cut the killer whales with black and white vinyl if you would like a decal for a room or car.

Pirate Birthday

I am not an artist.  I am creative and love to craft, but I don't draw anything.  But a very special boy wanted a pirate birthday party and I am such a sucker for him I knew I was going to have a treasure map leading to buried treasure.  This has nothing to do with vinyl, but I "toadilly" made it and I am quite proud!  Watching the boys hunt down the treasure and dig it out of the sandbox was definitely worth the very late nights making this map!
