Treasury of Memories

Oh! Why did I just think of this?

This was a very popular Christmas present and it just hit me, why not for Valentine's Day?

This is the perfect, not-too-girly present for that special man in your life.

Customize it with special dates and places from your relationship... Maybe you wen't to Mallard's for ice cream on your first date? Or had your first kiss at Zuanich park? Where did he propose? Is there somewhere special you celebrated an important anniversary?

 Email me at (heidi@decoratingyourlifeonline.com) with a list of 8-10 words you'd like included on your canvas. Put them in order from most important to least important, as they may not all fit on your canvas, and I want to make sure the most important get included! I will send you a digital proof, and once you approve it will cut it for you!

So many surfaces, so little time....

If you ever thought maybe I was exaggerating a bit when I've talked about how many surfaces you can put vinyl on.... go check out our tin surface collection for some inspiration!

This galvanized tin sign is probably my favorite of all those projects... but there are loads more pretty things to see! Chic garbage cans, tissue boxes, mail holders..... you name it, we've probably vinyl-ed it!

Email me at heidi@decoratingyourlifeonline.com and let's talk about how we can breathe a little life into some of the tired, worn-out surfaces in your home!

PS All the products you see are from the company Kraft Klub, who, unfortunately, only sells wholesale! But be sure to keep an eye out at your local craft stores for their products! 

I finally get to talk about... VALENTINE'S DAY!

Those of you who work, or have worked, in retail are probably familiar with this idea...Working in retail is like living in Holiday Hyperdrive. It's the end of July and you're already starting to see Christmas product come through, and you listen to Christmas Carol's for months before Christmas actually arrives!

Working in wholesale, as the Decorating Your Life team, has intensified this feeling for me. We've had Valentine's Day designed and have been marketing it since before Thanksgiving, so that stores can start start selling it by January, so that all of your pretty faces will be set by the time Valentine's Day arrives!

So, basically, I've been keeping these lovey-dovey, hearts and stars, ooey-gooey, romantic projects to myself for MONTHS, waiting for an appropriate time to them with you!

It is officially January 14th. That means only one month until Valentine's Day and I can FINALLY share these awesome projects with you:

 

Aren't they cute? I love the easy and simplicity of the canvas on the left. Just add a photo, cardstock (to  back the photo) and vinyl and you're done! 

What I love about the project on the right is that it adss in a few fun and unexpected elements--the smaller photos, playing cards and even dice, and it really didn't take much longer to complete!

As always, I am here, ready and waiting to help you with your love life.... through vinyl, of course! Email me at heidi@decoratingyourlifeonline.com and we'll get something magical whipped up you and yours! xo 

Friends!

Today I wanted to share a post with you from our friend Julie's blog.

It is an amazing use of vinyl that her bff, the talented Alissa made for her. 

Julie and Alissa are both amazing scrapbookers & bloggers! They both share some AMAZING projects as well as great stories from their lives. They are both former TOM girls, so if you've been missing some of that scrappy-go-lucky inspiration in your life....you should definitely check them out for some fresh, fab & fun inspiration.

Our first winner of 2011!

First, let me thank everyone for sharing their favorite inspirational quotes with us! There were so many wonderful ones and I am feeling very, very inspired by all of you!

Now, down to business....

 
Commenter #5 was Katie, who said,

 "Have a couple...Life is uncertain, eat dessert first! Then, Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. And my mostest favorite at this point in time is "I Love You, Grandma" Such sweet words! I miss you guys so much!!!"

Awwww! She must have have generated some good karma by being so sweet! Congratulations, Katie, you won $15 to spend on vinyl! :)

If you haven't checked out all the great quotes, be sure to pop down to the last post to do so! I am definitely going to be adopting a few of those for scrapbooking and... of course, more inspirational canvases in my home! :)
