A Very Busy July Makes Me Super Happy!!!

Alright, here are a few samples of what I've been up to these last couple of weeks. I also have some new kids boards waiting to be uploaded, so keep an eye out for those. I have a couple aboslutely new designs that I am excited to share with you... I hope you enjoy. As always you can email me at cornerbarn@live.com for ordering or any questions. I can bill you through paypal to make online purchasing even easier. Thanks!



This is a new board that I designed for a friend that already owns an established board with her last name on it. It was requested that she get a board with all of her family's names on it. So I designed this totally new looking board with that in mind. The top has their first names, and along the bottom is Family Is Forever. I added a tree and a decorative frame around it. I am really pleased with the way it turned out. Carmel painted board, with a dark brown "overwash"...cream vinyl lettering. 8 in tall X 24 in long. $25.00 


I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this board. It is a Family "motto" if you will, a sort of set of rules for a household. I am in the process of making one for my family which will include a line about bbq's and another about basketball. This is totally customizable with anything your family is "into" or does. The options are limitless.  Board is 24 in tall X 12 in wide. Kind of a different size, but great to hang with a list written on it. $35.00

I have been fortunate that with helping with my sister's recent wedding, she turned me onto a couple of trends that are popular, and super fun to do. So here are a couple of my newest versions of the Guest Book Tree. I have them featured on a previous post, but I thought it would be nice to see a couple different color variations that I have done. The top is done in greens, and the bottom tree is done in teals and silver. 20 in tall X 16 in wide canvas...this tree has 125 circles that could easily accomodate 250 signatures (keep in mind most couples/families sign on same space) $30.00


This is one of my favorite color combos. This dark colored board with rich carmel makes for a deep look that is slick and modern.  This is a larger sized board that would look great over a door, or outside along a deck or porch.  8 in tall X 36 in long. $36.00

I love how "old" looking fonts are all "new" again! I used the older looking under layer to definitely make a statement with the last name and established year, using a tan paint and black vinyl letters. The top layer is a bright red specifically used to match their personal decor, but could always be substituted with a more neutral color. This is another "large board"... 8 in tall X 36 in long. $36.00

This is a board with more of a classy, scrolly look to it. I really like the first name and established on the same layer, with the bold last name in the underlayer. 8 in tall X 24 in long. $25.00

This is a nice, clean looking board with a crisp looking under font overlayed with a strong, handwritten font for the first names.  This would look great next to the front door, or hung under some wedding photos. 8 in tall X 24 in long. $25.00 


Here is a great, casual looking board. It's one that was recently ordered from a board that was previously posted. I call it my "beachy" board. It has a real natural, worn look to it that was made to capture the look of some of the buildings and sings you see at the coast. 8 in tall X 24 in long. $25.00
