Tropical Treat

How cute are these? I wish so badly that I didn't have to give them away! I just loved how they turned out! This ridiculously cute box is one of the great tutorials that you can purchase from Becky over at Inking Idaho! These 2 boxes were early bird prizes for an activity that was for the women at my church! We are joining together to read the Book of Mormon and I thought it would be darling to put a mini Book of Mormon in here. The girls that won can keep it for themselves to read or give it to a friend with their testimony on the inside!! The dimensions in the tutorial worked perfectly to fit the book!! I added some york peppermint patties, kisses and yummy ghirardelli chocolate on the sides. They were a big hit with the gals! The only complaint was that there weren't more to go around!

welcome vinyl

So I am pretty much copying this one from the Stampin' Up! catalog! {shhh don't tell} I actually would have ordered the one from Stampin' Up! but they didn't have the size I needed and I didn't like one of the phrases on it. What's a girl to do???...well make my own of course! I just chose all different fonts and played with the sizes and thicknesses. I like how it turned out! It looks really cool above this mirror in my entryway. I love the collage of words! You could do this with so many different things, words, rooms, occasions...the possibilities are endless!! If you are interested in some cool word collages for your walls shoot me an email! {fabfullmers@yahoo.com}
thanks for coming by...have a wonderfully vinylicious Monday!!!

what's in it?...
vinyl...brown (oracal)...I like to call it chocolate
size...8 1/2 in. x 35 in.
fonts...can't remember all of them {oops}
hours of sleep lost playing with words and getting them in just the right spot...2 or 3 AND lots of numbness in my mouse-clicking hand from being on the computer too long!
what can I say...I am a committed girl!

family vinyl

I have been on the hunt for awhile now for an idea that I just loved for a Fullmer Family vinyl. I finally found a few ideas that I liked and from that I created this...I just adore the way it turned out! I have had the picture frame for a few years now {yes I still need to add a few pics! I got so used to seeing those white spaces I sorta forgot they needed to be filled} and I have wanted the vinyl above to finish off the wall. I love when something turns out even better than you hoped for!!! I had my doubts as I was putting it up as to whether or not I was going to like it! Now I love it so much I feel like all my vinyl needs that 2 tone/layered look!! :) If you are interested in having your own "family vinyl" email me or call me and I will be happy to quote you a price.

summer blocks

Nothing too fancy, just some summer blocks that I have been wanting to make. I had some wood laying around {these are 2x4 cut at various sizes} and figured it may as well be something cute in my house instead of ugly in my garage! I love this summery paper from Stampin' Up! It's in the Summer Mini catalog right now. It's called Island Oasis. I sanded the edges and made it look a little worn. I used my silhouette to cut out the vinyl letters. {it's chocolate brown} I added 3 little vinyl flowers with brads in the middle. I think it's going to look great on my shelf. Even if summer is half over!
Thanks for coming by! Don't forget to check the post below for some great stamp sets and ink pads I am selling!

***Would you like a set of these blocks? I will send you the paper, brads and the vinyl all you have to do is provide the blocks and some glue. Email me to place an order...cost is $10.00--that includes shipping!***

Motorcycle Card

I made this card for my dad for Father's Day! He loves Harleys and I couldn't pass up this stamp when I saw it in the mini catalog. I knew it would be perfect for him! I used some great Bo Bunny paper I picked up at Archivers. I kept it really simple and decided not to color it in. I liked the black and white look.
Have a great day! chat at ya later

Vintage Grad

Happy, Happy Friday! Happy Mother's Day weekend to me and to all you ladies out there! I started my "weekend" celebrating already! My hubby came home from work early and we went to lunch and a movie before the kids even got home from school! Then he let me take a nap when we got home! Talk about spoiled!! We saw Iron Man 2....so good! :)
These are graduation announcements that I made for a very sweet girl. I made 50 of them. They took some time...but it was sooo worth it! They turned out darling and I think totally reflect who Alleigh is! The main card has the graduation announcement and info. The small pullout has info for the party after that she is having.I found a really cute stamp set at Archivers with different vintage chandeliers. The little swirl things in pink are from the same set. (I have no idea what it's called or the company) I embossed the image in black & added some pink blink to it to make it even cuter!I used my Silhouette to cut out the 2010 on the front! I {heart} my Silhouette! It does so much!
Have a WONDERFUL weekend!!! Thanks for stopping in!

Subway Art....my version

For Family Night a few weeks ago (actually it's more like a few months ago, who am I kidding?!)...anyway we all sat down a made a list for each one of the kids and came up with words that described that person. I took the lists and made my own version of "Subway Art" for the kids to hang in their rooms. I thought it would be a fun way for me to be creative and play with my vinyl and also a great keepsake for the kids. They will have a fun reminder of all the great things we thought of them in 2010!
I love how Kailee's turned out. I bought 16x20 canvas and painted it black. I used teal and white vinyl. I am a little bit picky so I spent a ton of time ( I won't even admit to how many hours) getting the image just right. I wanted the fonts to also express Kailee...which I think it does! She loves it and I love it! I have started on Austin's...we'll see how long it takes me to get it done....1 down, 3 to go!
**I also learned that vinyl doesn't stick so well to canvas. So after I got it all on there I painted a layer of modge podge over the whole thing!! {{Also I am pretty impressed with myself...I made the books on there all by myself from scratch!!!}}

Pencils....lots of Pencils!

That's a basket of flowers huh?! :)

There are about 80 different pencil flowers in that basket! Doesn't it look so cool when they are all together! We did a little handout for the ladies in my church and we gave them these pencils and a little notebook. This basket was just to transport them, when we got to the church we had made some cute little vases and put pencils in each one on the tables and those were the centerpieces! I wish I would have remembered my camera to take a picture of those, but it was a crazy night! I used up lots of scrap paper which was great! Even though I spent a ton of nights making these while catching up on some T.V....it was worth it...they turned out sooo cute!
These are the kind of flowers that I can take care of!
Have a wonderful day!

Kailee's vinyl project

So not a stamp craft today...but another vinyl craft! I really do tell the truth when I tell you that the vinyl machine has made my life complete!! :) This is one of the projects Kailee did in her room. I wish I had taken a before pic but I didn't. This was an ugly old sign with a boat on it with an arrow, in ugly colors! Kailee painted it teal, sanded it and antiqued it with a Ralph Lauren Smoke Glaze. (I love that stuff) We sat down and did the vinyl together! The flowers on the wall are from Target. This wall isn't quite finished yet, we have a few more ideas up our sleeves! Didn't it turn out so stinkin' cute! Fits her too!!! :) Have a crafty & fantastic day!

Easter Basket

YES another post!!! I am feeling pretty accomplished! Nothing fancy just a cute little easter basket that I found the directions to on Splitcoast Stampers. The candy didn't last long enough around here to make it into the picture! It was sure cute for the short time it was in there though!
And to my ever so faithful stamp gal Angie....you are awesome! You make me laugh! :)

I have just been so busy that capturing pictures and blogging has dropped to the bottom of my to-do list! I also have been so in love with my new vinyl machine that it takes up alot of time now!! I love it...as previously mentioned! :)
I thought I would share a quick card I made though and a simple vinyl project too. I recently held a birthday card class and this was just one of the cards that was offered...a boy and girl version. Super Simple!!My vinyl project is just a simple too and is a cute and fast way to add some fun when decorating for holidays or seasons. Target always has the cutest plates out. I bought these 2 for just a couple of dollars (and they are plastic...so no breaking!!!) I have just made a cute little saying in the vinyl and put it on my plate and your done! So cute huh!

My Vinyl Skills!

Ok...so I mentioned already that I have been so busy I haven't really had time to stamp! (As if you didn't know from the extreme lack of posts) I have been showing you a few of my home decorating projects. Today I have another one for you! I recently felt like my life was missing something! What was missing you ask?... My very own vinyl cutting machine, of course!! I am in love folks! It's the real deal...mushy gushy, no returns for me, already labeled it with my name kinda love!!! It ranks in my Top Ten...right after Shawners, the kids, diet coke and tacos!! So I really haven't had the time to play with it but i have been anyway. (who needs clean clothes or dinner) Who could resist? The kids had a 1/2 day today and so I spent the morning making and putting up this awesomeness in my kitchen! LOVE!!!
Have a super, duper fabulous weekend! The kids and I are going to the Rockets game tonight. Kailee is singing the National Anthem with her choir again this year. Then tomorrow Shawners will be home...after a very long month and half long of travel. (with only a few days home)
Thanks for stopping by!!!
