As a mom and a wife, I am so thankful to have visual reminders in my home to help me remember how quickly moments become memories. I hope these designs inspire you to take today and live every.single.moment of it. And tomorrow, too. Savor life. Relish the chaos. Celebrate the ordinary. Commit. Reflect. Love. Give.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Well, it's 85' here today, and to tell you the truth it barely looks like Fall, much less Christmas, lol. But, in the studio it's a whole other story! Christmas and Holiday designs are in the works, and there is nothing like designing with tinsel and holly in mind. So, grab a mug of hot cocoa (if you are someplace cold enough to enjoy that sort of thing) and browse a few new designs, hot off the Christmas press! And while you're at it, don't miss the new Wedding/Nursery Monogram I've included here. You know me - always working on something for the Brides and the Babies, lol! Then scroll down to take a look at my other recent offerings, all of which are listed for sale at www.PopVinylStudio.com .

Shedding a Little Light on Vinyl Wall Design

Seriously, if you have not tried decorating with vinyl, you are missing one of the easiest ways to add some pizazz to your decor. Add some sophistication and elegance with a chandelier. They are all the rage. From bedding to coasters, chandeliers are making an appearance everywhere. These chandelier decals from Pop Vinyl Studio are perfect for a dining room, bedroom, foyer, or even a nursery. Apply for instant POP! It will look as if it took an artist hours to paint, and only you and I will be the wiser. Plus, when you decide to change your decor, just peel it off and toss it.

So if you don't find exactly what you are looking for, contact me about designing something special for you. You'll be glad you did.

New Owl and Bumblebee design and a Fleur de Lis Name

Even though it's been crazy busy hectic at my shop, I've managed to squeeze in a couple of new designs. The owl design was created for a customer who requested it. I just love it! HOO wouldn't? And the fleur de lis name has been in my head for a while, so I finally took the time to turn it into a design. Visit my Etsy shop for these and other great vinyl decals. And remember to sign up to follow my blog, to stay informed of new designs, sales and giveaways. As always, thank you to my wonderful customers who make it possible for me to have the best job I ever would have dreamed of.

I have the best job!

Seriously....I do! It just amazes me that I get to do something that gives me joy, while it also gives joy to others. I love the fact that I get so many e-mails telling me how much someone is thrilled with and is inspired by the design they received. What an honor for me to have the privilege of ministering in such a simple, yet surprisingly profound way.

So, on with the new designs! There's a jungle animal stack that was actually a proof for a custom a while back. I just tinkered with it to make it perfect. And I just realized the "Where Dreams Come True" design was also a proof for a custom. I LOVE the "Home, where the people who love you live" saying, and have wanted to design something around it for some time. I finally took the time this week. And lastly, who doesn't need a message to "Be strong and courageous" in their life? I know I do.

Enjoy the designs and let me know what you think. And remember, my goal in design is to create beautiful decals that bless and inspire; that reflect your tastes and personalities. My goal in business is to do so in an excellent manner, with the utmost integrity and customer service. Pop Vinyl Studio goes the extra mile. Shop my Etsy store - you will not be disappointed.

Stars, Brothers, Dreams and Family

What a fabulous week for designing! It is just so great when the inspiration hits and keeps on coming. The star design was done as a custom for a mom I know. I am tickled with how it turned out. And really, the color scheme is so versatile. The next design I finished was the "All For One and One For All/Brothers till the End" design. It was a simple redesign of a previous custom. Then today, I was inspired to create the "Dream Big" design. How completely perfect for a girl of any age, with it's whimsical flowers, circles, and butterflies! And lastly, the Family Initial design - classic and elegant, yet understated, it is perfect for any family's decor.

As always thank you for taking the time to check my blog and browsing the newest designs available at www.PopVinylStudio.com .

Designing and Versatility

One thing that I LOVE about designing vinyl decor is the versatility of each design. Not only are there endless possibilities for uses, but there are almost endless possibilities when it comes to size and layout. I was recently contacted by a friend about my "Love Gives You a Fairytale" design. She loved the decal and wanted it for a large area above her headboard. I mentioned that we could certainly make the design wider, but we would have had to "stretch" the design to get the height she wanted. For the larger space, I really felt a different arrangement of wording would be best. So, I spent a little time reworking it for her, and I do believe the results are just lovely. The finished design ended up being 48 inches wide and 21 inches tall.

So remember, this is your design, your way. That is my job. I want you to be ecstatic when you get what you want from my Etsy store. I want it to be "music to your eyes."

Happy 4th of July!

Whether you are cranking up the grill, or partying with friends - Keep it safe, folks!

I for one am glad for a little bit of extra R&R time. Things have been crazy busy with my shop, for which I am very thankful. And things are certainly always hectic around the house. But, I have a few minutes to highlight a few recent designs that I haven't blogged about. I have had so many requests for wedding and newlywed items, and these all really fit the bill. Classy, stylish and simply brimming with personality, every couple will find these designs a perfect touch for their wedding reception or new home.

Enjoy the designs, and remember that there are so many uses for vinyl decals - cars, windows, mirrors, laptop cases, notebooks, candles, and of course, walls!

Once in a While... Love Gives You a Fairytale

I may have just created an absolute favorite design. I was so inspired to create this. I've seen the saying here and there, and I wanted to do something wonderful with it. I had hoped the final design would have a classic fairytale feel to it, and yet not necessarily seem childish. I think I succeeded.

It makes my heart sing to consider the truth in this statement. An ordinary life turned fairytale by love - a wedding, the birth of a child, the blessing of a good friend - all these have the wonderful effect of crystallizing life into something beautiful.

Enjoy the design. It's available in your choice of color here:

Drawing Winner!

A big congratulations to Lamar, the winner of the Homeschool design promotion! This was my very 1st, and I just feel so excited to be able to give one of these designs away to such a wonderful woman. So Lamar, look over these designs and choose the one you would like to have. I'll send you a revised image with a complete list of colors available, so you can get your design exactly as you want it.

Thanks to everyone who participated. I want everyone to know that I went the high-tech approach to ensure a fair drawing - I wrote all of your names on same-sized slips of paper, folded them each exactly in half, put them all in an empty tissue box, and let my 4 yo draw one out. Since he can't read, I didn't feel he could cheat! LOL!

Please stay tuned. I plan to have more giveaways and promotions on a regular basis.

And thank you all again. May you all be abundantly blessed!

More Homeschool Designs

Wow! I am just so thankful for the choice to homeschool all 7 of our children. I love that we get to be together throughout the day. I love that when something really piques their interest, we have free reign to learn all the gory details, LOL! I love that when a learning opportunity presents itself, we can grab it and run. It is AWESOME!!!! Just today my kids have decided to make great use of the raging winds outside, and are making kites. Not only are they designing what they think will make the most suitable and flightworthy objects, but they are learning valuable lessons about wind currents, velocity and so much more. I think the Wright Brothers would be proud.

So, enjoy these designs. And remember that the time to enter the drawing is running out. You have till March 31st. See the previous blog for details on how to get up to 4 entries in a drawing to win one of the brand new homeschool designs I have created. Leave a comment on my blog.
