Decorative verse tile

I love to cut vinyl with my Cricut!  I've done vinyl for walls, vehicles, church activities, and I have made many gift tiles, but this time I decided to make a tile to put in our home!  Jeremiah 29:11 is one of my favorite verses!!

Challenge...
Word Art Wednesday #35 - word art provided or other inspirational verse or quote (this was actually the verse last week but I did not get it done in time for that challenge, so I'm adding it this week)

Everyone can't be a Princess...

I love working with vinyl!  Sayings on tiles are so fun to make, there is vinyl in almost every room in my house, and I've used it as stencils for etching.   I made a tile the other day and decided to make another today. 

I have a file where I keep a list of quotes that I might want to use on tiles or for wall vinyl for a craft sale.  This saying is cute, though if someone actually thinks this, I'm not sure I want to be around them!! 

Challenge...

"Save the earth..." tile

Earth Day is later this month and some challenges are using that as the prompt.  Before I show my project, I have something to say.  I truly believe we do need to take care of the wonderful creation that God has intrusted to us.  Just a little op ed here.  And since it's my blog, I can do it! :)

It just breaks my heart how this is all out of focus.  Thousands of unborn babies are killed every day, animal abuse gains more attention than child/spousal abuse, and killing an endangered species sometimes carries a greater penalty than murder.  Our priorities are messed up!!    
I believe in the sanctity of life!!  God knew me before He formed me in the belly. (Jer. 1:5)  I believe we are responsible to take care of the earth!!  We are to "dress it and keep it" (Gen. 2:15) and "a righteous man regardeth the life of his beast" (Prov. 12"10) so we must care for our world!  

With that said, yes, we do need to care for our earth, but I went in a fun direction about it....

"Fishing was good" hanging plaque

I had a busy weekend so hadn't planned to get much made, but I messed up some of the plans when I totaled our van! :(  My daughter was with me, and PTL we are both ok!!  Sore sternum from the seat belt doing its job, but we have sooooooo much to be thankful for!!!!  

I've taken it easy, but today, I needed to get back in my craft room, so this is my third and final post of the day.  Then I'm going to bed!

Ever since I found this slate at my MIL's, I have been wanting to use it.  The BBTB2 challenge was to use the little fishing boy from ACY.  I did a search for fishing quotes and found this one!  My husband's office is decorated with fishing paraphernalia so this will be his....
What I used:
~slate that had a wire already on it! :D
~boy from A Child's Year cut in black outdoor outdoor vinyl - he's cut at about 5" but I stretched him in DS a little to fit my tile
~words from Lyrical letters & Stamped cut at about 1"
~'sign' behind words - shape from Stamped shortened in DS and cut wood grain contact paper


Hope you like it!  Thanks for looking!!

One more tile... for now! :-)

One more tile... for now.  They really are fun to make!!
The fonts I used are Matisse, Comic Sans, and Curlz, and the snowflake is from basic shapes.

Tile for cat lovers....

This is a great gift for the cat lover!  Used A Child's Year font for the kitty and Camp Out for the paw prints on a 6x6 tile.
