June is full of Grads and Weddings

This has been a really busy season, and I'm loving every minute of it. So many people are allowing me to be creative in their orders, and I am super grateful not only for the business, but the leisure of stretching my artsy side! Thank you everyone! Here are a few samples of some more recent orders.  If you see something you like, please don't hesitate to contact me, cornerbarn@live.com , we can always mesh some things to make it absolutely personal and just what you're looking for.  All boards come with sawtooth hangers already attached for instant hanging, but also keep in mind they look good propped up on a shelf or against existing decor.  Shipping is available (assessed on an individual basis- please know that I make no money on shipping and just pass along what I personally get charged). Online invoicing is also available for easy payment options. Thanks!

I have to thank a great family friend for inspiring me to do this canvas.  This is a picture of her graduating niece, at a very young age, done in a "stamp" style and put on a canvas. The quote at the bottom is a favorite of the graduate's and expresses the perfect sentiment. The picture was done small enough to leave room around the edges for family and friends to sign at her graduation party. This would also be nice for a wedding, using a great personal snapshot of the happy couple. Canvas measures 20" tall X 16" wide. $45.00

With graduations all over the place, it's been a great opportunity to inspire with great quotes, like this one with "Give me a place to stand, and I will move the world."  Purple board with gray vinyl. This is a little more mature look, but also playful and totally young-adult appropriate. Great for a dorm room wall, or new apartment. 8" tall X 24" long. $25.00

It definitely is wedding season around here. Eat, Drink, Be Married... 'nuf said.  This "lawn sign" I did for a friend, and it's going to be attached to a wooden stake to put out front of their wedding venue.  Black board with white vinyl makes this really crip and easy to read. This size is also great for directional signs with added arrows showing the way to your big event.
Board is 12" tall X  18" long. Totally customizable for $20.00 (stake not included)

So this is a board that I did for my sister's bridal shower, that she put above her entry door. Black painted board with beige It's not the Destination... It's the Journey saying. A virtually universal gift,  along with it being super budget friendly makes this a no-brainer.
Board measures 6" tall X 36" long. $19.95

This is a brand new look to the wedding boards. The background name is done in a calligraphy brush font that gives a real inky, hand-painted look to the vinyl. Creamy green painted board with black and beige vinyl. Board is 8" tall X 24" long. $25.00

This is a great color combo. The dark "barn red" board is a great background color for the black and beige vinyl. The two fonts really work well together with the angular background letters and the more fluid top layer. 8" tall X 24" long. $25.00

I really like this simple design. It's not the destination, it's the journey is really perfect for just about any couple, whether to commemorate a lasting relationship, or for newlyweds. Carmel board with black background vinyl and beige overlay first names. Board is 8" tall X 24" long. $25.00

I did this gold painted board for one of the girls' friend's birthday. She is a huge horse-lover and we really wanted to keep it western looking. This would be great on a bedroom door, or on top of a dresser. Metallic gold paint with black vinyl name and horse art. Board is 6" tall X 18 " long. $18.00

Ok, so little Ezra is not getting married, nor graduating, but it's cute enough to post. The little handprints are great for either boy or girl boards. Light blue board with dark brown vinyl.
Board is 6" tall X 18" long, $18.00
