Jungle animal vinyl

So I had a friend that saw some little animals that she wanted to put in her little boys room.  So I played around with the images that she got me and tried to fix some lines that came out weird and these are what I came up with.

And here is what her end results were.  She ended up changing her color scheme from her original plan, and they still worked for her.  I can't believe how much cuter these are finished!!  Thanks Stacey for the picture and the fun project to work on.

What do you guys think!!?

If you'd like different sizes let me know.  Maybe if you have pictures of something you need made up in vinyl.  I love to give it a go and see if we can get you what you picture in your home.

Valentine's Subway art!

I know, I know, Subway art is by any means a new thing, but it's so popular right now and I do love the way it looks.  So I had to see what I could come up with on my own.

And I couldn't just do it one color.  I mean that would be too easy right.  So I went with 4 colors and pieced the other colors around the black ones. 

 Here's an up close view of it.  I totally meant to keep the back of the frame out, but after I was finished applying my vinyl to the glass, I realized that I didn't pay attention to how the frame kept it's glass in. Unfortunately the swivel hooks are on the backing with the stand and then swivel into groves built into the frame.  I might have to brake out my own little tab gun and make it work for me.  That way I can back in scrapbook paper, or even keep the paint color showing through!! You'll find that I love to put vinyl on glass, windows, and mirrors.

and email at daisydotdecor@gmail.com to make and order and I'll send you a pay pal invoice!!

Now some of you may have noticed the other little item that I had in my picture.  My argyle Hugs&Kisses.  I actually made this about 2 years ago I think.  Yeah really sad cause it hasn't quite been finished, yet!!  I swear I'm going to do it.

You can see in the picture below that it's slightly poking out of the frame.  Well that frame already has a different saying on it, that I use in my kitchen decor most the year round, so I improvised and just set it inside for the picture

What do you think about the pink and purple version.  Again another one I need to frame.

Anyone out there wondering how I made these?  I could probably put together a tutorial..... and I did make these before I had a vinyl cutter, but now days with cricuts and silouettes, this would be cake!!  

Now I'm out to go to the dollar store to find a nice glass container and bright colored candies to sit on a shelf and help me soak in the Valentine's VIBE!!

Strawberry cream muffins!!

 Strawberry Cream Muffins (or Raspberry)-

Taste of Home cupcakes and Muffin magazine

submitted by Stephanie Moon-Nampa ID.

This recipe is awesome, just a slight change that we did (okay really I only cut strawberries and then filled the muffin tins and my hubby did the rest!!  I know I'm spoiled rotten), but they were so tasty.  The best from scratch muffin I've ever had.  So delicious that they almost could pass for a cupcake!!  And I know I haven't really had recipes on here before, but I'm really trying this year to branch out and find new great recipes, so I'll throw them in every once in a while.  And if I find a good recipe, I'm always up for sharing.

Ingredients

1c. fresh raspberries (we used strawberries diced small)

¾ c sugar (we used 1 c.)

¼ c. butter softened

1 egg

½ tsp almond extract

½ tsp vanilla extract

2 ¼ c flour

1 Tbsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 c. half and half

1 c. finely chopped vanilla or white choc chips

Streusel

2 Tbsp brown sugar

2 Tbsp sugar

In a small bowl toss raspberries/ diced strawberries with ¼ c. (we did a ½c. from looking at other fruit muffin recipes) sugar; set aside. So if you you don't love sweet muffins go with the 1/4 c.

In large mixing bowl cream butter and other ½ c sugar. Beat in egg and extracts.

Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt: or just add to cream mixture alternately with cream.  Stir in chips (we put them in my little chopper so they were very small) and the reserved fruit.

This is after I had 12 muffin in tins. I had to make a few more.  Darn it leftovers!!

Fill greased or paper filled muffin tins ¾ full-full.  Combine the brown sugar and remaining sugar and sprinkle on top for the streusel.  

Bake 375 for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.  Cool for 5 minutes and then remove to wire rack.  Make 12-16 muffins. 

I'm telling you these are a GOT TO try!!  Love them!

Stayed tuned for the fun Valentine's things I made up this weekend!  Way fun!!

Vinyl Colors and info

Here are some examples swatches of color that I have in stock, (which may or may not be the same color depending on the color settings on your own computer).

I would love to have more colors to choose from, but I can't justify them until I get someone that needs them for their vinyl.  If you're looking for a certain color, I'll see if I can get it. 

See all those holes.  I'd love to have them and more filled up!!

Majority of my vinyl is Oracal vinyl,  I find it to be the easiest to work with and applies wonderful, my transfer tape is semi-transparent and if you have a lighter vinyl color being used I'll change to a totally transparent for better placement!!

Awesome give away!

So when I bought my vinyl cutter I was just going back and forth about what I really wanted to purchase.  And I do love what I got, but I hate that it doesn't cut through cardstock.  Well I've found my solution to this problem.  I think I need to have one of these.  And I thought that maybe I'd share so others can see these awesome give aways.

Over HERE at All things Thrifty, they have a give away for a free silhouette machine, and you can see a few more in my blog list that have give aways too.
