Vinyl Wall Art from Back 40 Life {and a giveaway}

{Giveaway is Closed}

Recently, I  met Jodi, a stay at home mom who runs her own vinyl wall art business, Back 40 Life. Jodi has some fabulous items that I just love and so we’ve partnered together and added some of her products to my Open Sky shop.  I already had some vinyl wall art before I met Jodi, but I totally love what she has to offer.  The personalized monograms and Bible verses are dear to my heart.  And I’m excited to be partnering with Jodi by bringing her business together with my online shop.

Jodi’s story is very inspiring for any of us who are looking to re-invent ourselves in a more creative way:

I am blessed to have a super-supportive husband and two precious children.  We live out in the country on 9 acres, which we’ve always jokingly referred to as “the back 40”.  We’ve been self-employed for 7 out of the 9 years we’ve been married.  A few years ago amidst the stress & fast-pace of a successful construction business we began to realize that our business was taking over our family and that we were hardly enjoying life because we were working non-stop.  We began to scale back our commitments, evaluate every decision more carefully and begin to make changes that would allow us to live a slower, more family-oriented lifestyle.  Thus began the dream of Back40Life…a slower pace that celebrated the simplicity of life and found enjoyment in the everyday.

We started our vinyl business last May, not long after our little girl was born, mostly as a creative outlet for me and to earn some extra income from home to help compensate for the slow-down in the construction industry.  Little did we know what God had in store.  He has blessed us tremendously and allowed our business to grow, and we’re now at a place where we’re close to supporting our family entirely with Back40Life.  One of the things I love most about working with vinyl decals is that it allows me to be creative without being artistic and to provide affordable home decor items that bring enjoyment everyday.

Like this pretty 23 x 23″ monogram letter, in a scrolly background.

Or this solid one in the same size.

Or how about a vintage style framed monogram letter with a significant date, such as an anniversary year.  I absolutely love this scripture and if you’ve noticed, this one is on my sidebar.  It’s my very favorite scripture and the one I consider MY special verse.  To me, this one says it all. And this one is a fave for many too, a wonderful and encouraging verse from Jeremiah that I think all of us can relate to.   Holding on to scriptures have always been important to me in my walk with the Lord.

I’m so happy to be carrying all of these beautiful vinyls in my Open Sky shop and I hope that you will enjoy them too.  And I am tickled to help support a work at home mom like Jodi to keep her business running also.

The Welcome vinyls are not in the shop yet, nor is the verse that I have above my door “As for Me and My House, We will Serve the Lord”, but hopefully we’ll get those 2 in very soon!

Click on over to my Open Sky shop for all the details and prices!  I think you’re going to love these.  I have SO enjoyed having my scripture verse over the door of our home.  And the Welcome has been a fun way to show people who come over to our house that they truly are Welcome in our home.  Another good point to the Welcome on the door is that you can easily tell people which house you live in. 🙂

And to have some fun today, we’re going to offer TWO of you a Welcome vinyl for your front door (all different colors available).  All you have to do is leave a comment and tell us which one of these is your fave.  I’ll pick a winner on Monday evening.

    The ‘scripture’ wall art is great! I especially like the various fonts used to do Proverbs 3:5-6. I have Jeremiah 29:11 matted and framed above my TV where I see it everyday . . . several times a day. Excited for your business. Blessings,

    I just painted my front door bright turquiose and that welcome would look so great on it

    I really like the Welcome sign on the front door. The verses are beautiful, too, but the first thing I would choose would be the welcome sign.

    The verse from Jeremiah is one of my favorites. I would love to win it. I’ve been wanting to add something to the guest room to go over & between the twin beds. Since you’ve seen the room, what do you think about that idea?

    Hugs!

    We have just moved our family back to our Home Town after spending two years away. We are overjoyed to be home, and we are so blessed to be able to host friends. I love the ‘Welcome’ on the door. It speaks to our family’s desire to show hospitality.

    Oh wow! I really enjoyed those verses! What a great way to make you stop and think in your home!

    I love the verse from Proverbs, but I really love all of it. I have been itching to get a decal for my house- they add so much personality!

    Proverbs 3:5-6 is my favorite! I would love to have the “Welcome” on my front door.

    The Proverbs and Jeremiah verses are both excellent. Live by these, and you can’t go wrong. Would love to win a Welcome sigh. They are so nice.

  13. Leanne says

    Jer. 29:11 has to be my favorite. We are considering a family verse to have in living room and this is one that keeps coming around. I would LOVE to have the “Welcome” on our door…. it makes a wonderful 1st impression to people as they wait for you to answer your door.
