More Vinyl Decor Projects

I am having a love affair with the French language! It's so fun to play around with words and script and I have put them on pillows, plates, signs... such a beautiful language.

The other night Maddy came in my office while I was working and listening to music on my playlist, (La Vie En Rose). She said "Why are you listening to that music in French?" I said because I like it. She then says "But how do you know they're not saying bad words?" LOL, I had to assure her it was a nice song. Kids her age (12) see things in such black and white.

Just wanted to share a couple of quickie projects I did the other night with my Cricut and some vinyl scraps. I love the SCAL software, which I blogged about here .

The first is a little green plate with, you guessed it, FRENCH words!




Then just a fun little coaster made on a tile.  Super easy and quick and so many possibilities~ a monogram, seasonal images ...  the SCAL software lets you cut any font or dingbat on your computer.  I have also found tons of free SVG files that you can cut.  The other night I googled SVG Eiffel Tower and found several to download and cut.



Thanks for stopping by!  Come back soon, I am almost ready to share the darling little side table I have madeover in Heirloom White.  She's a cutie!

  1. Love that wee green french plate! I need to learn more about a Cricut and see if I would benefit from something like this. I'm not much of a crafter, like you, but you always seem to be able to do so much with it.

  3. I actually feel like I am pretty crafty,
    ;-) just not good at hand lettering, stencilling, etc.. The cricut makes it so easy to cut any lettering or design for signs and things. Love it!!

  5. you have such a cute blog, love the green background. Your plate came out so pretty, can't wait to try making one for my kitchen. French is such a romantic language, who wouldn't just love it. I tried taking it in High School but there were so many cute boys in my class, I had trouble concentrating and therefore, didn't learn a thing...pity.

    Hope you're having a great day!
