"I love to see the temple" vinyl in all different colors
We had an order for an Enrichment activity and they wanted the "I love to see the temple..." vinyl for the glass block. Normally my orders for this graphic are all white, because temples are white, but this order came in many different colors. I think they ordered almost every color we have. It was actually really fun to see this graphic in color. I love the red the best, but my favorite color is Red. This is such a fun nightlight in a child's room.

Picket Fence Table Topper
I was asked by my church if I would decorate for our big stake women's conference. For those who have never heard of women's conference, it is a big deal and it always looks perfect. Too perfect. I was overwhelmed and excited at the same time. I was given a plate with tulips on it, and they wanted me to match my decorations around it. Oh, and the kicker was my budget was tiny. I had to come up with something pretty for nothing, well, almost nothing.
There was a lady in my church that lives on land and she has a pile of old wood. She told me I could have whatever I needed. I was thrilled, but I had no idea what I was going to do. Then I went through a craft store and saw a picket fence. Picket fences and tulips go well together.
I found some old 1x8 pieces and cut them into little rectangles. They almost looked like squares, but one side was a little longer.
Then I found some 1x2 boards. I cut them 5 inches high with my chop saw.
I used my band saw to cut the tops. You can use a scroll saw or jig saw.
Then I used a brad nailer (I bought a nail gun for my birthday. I am so weird) to attach them.
I have to make 18 of these. My neighbor came out and he said it looks like a torture bed.
I then painted it with white craft paint. I just used one coat so the rustic wood would show through. I glued a ribbon around it with a glue gun. I wanted to use real tulips but I live in the desert and it cost 5.50 for each tulip here, so I went to the dollar store and bought these. Because I used fake flowers I put rocks in my mason jar to cover up the plastic stem. I thought they turned out cute.

Sneak peak of what is to come....
I know this is not a vinyl craft, but I am really exited about it. I will share how to make this table center piece tomorrow. I also wanted to let you all know that I am turning my vinyl craft blog into a craft blog. I have fun ideas that I never share because they don't have vinyl on it. Another change I am making to my blog is that I am going to invite others to share their ideas too. So if you have any fun craft ideas I would love to see them.

Birthday Countdown Blocks
In my family, birthdays are a big deal. My kids plan their birthday parties all year long. My mom said they got that from me. I have been wanting to make a birthday countdown for a long time, and now I finally had time to do it.
Items needed:
- (2) 4x4 blocks
- (1) 6x11 inch base (I used MDF board 3/4 inch thick)
- VINYL from VINYLGIFTSANDMORE.COM (Saying and Numbers)
- Mod Podge
- Scrap booking paper
- Craft paint
- Tacky glue
1. Paint your base and the outside edges of your blocks. Pick some color that goes well with your scrap booking paper. You don't have to paint the inside because the paper will go there. Let the paint dry.

2. Cut your paper so it will fit on the block. I cut my paper a little smaller than the block so you can see the brown edges. Make sure you cut a small thin piece to fit on your base.
