Monogram Tile

August 2, 2011 by Rebecca Wagner 2 Comments

Thanks for stopping by today to see my latest project!  I have for your viewing pleasure a beautiful monogrammed tile I made for my mother-in-law.  Very simple and inexpensive.  Definitely jazzes up a room.

Since this was my first time making a monogram tile, I tried to keep it real simple with the font.  I’m here to tell you swishy swirls are not for noobs like me.  Next time I think a more blocky font is on the menu.

I purchased the tile at The Home Depot for around .98 cents and it measures 12×12 in a light beige.  They had vinyl squares of Wall Pops on clearance too. So I used that.  In Make the Cut, I made two squares in different thicknesses then designed in the middle.  The fonts are Anabel for the monogram and French Script for her last name.  I forgot to weld it but what she doesn’t know won’t kill her.  ^__^

All in all, it came out nice.  She really enjoyed her gift. I have already had some requests from family.  Wrap a pretty ribbon around these and call it a Christmas present!

If you guys or gals know of a good free monogram font, hit me in the comments.  I am open to any design.  Also, does anyone know how to split the monogram and put the name in the middle with a slight line on top and bottom?  I couldn’t get it to look right to save my life!  Thanks and happy crafting!

    So very cool! Did you cut it on vinyl and modpodge it? This is a great idea….If you want to thicken a font, you can use inkscape to do that….it’s free and you can hit up cuttingtimes on youtube…Carolyn will give you all the tips:)

    I did use vinyl but didn’t ModPodge it. When I do mine I am going to. I use Inkscape once in a while, I will check her out and thanks for the tip!

So, I did a thing. Working on a pain point for Per So, I did a thing. Working on a pain point for Personal size. This is for those of you who think it’s too narrow but don’t want to purchase a new PW binder. Franklin Covey Compact is the next best thing. 

If you have a FFC binder already, we now will have refills for you too!

Foil lovers... we heard you. Since our foil equi Foil lovers... we heard you. 

Since our foil equipment went down, the messages and emails have not stopped. We know how much you love the look and honestly we love it too.

Replacing commercial foil equipment runs into the tens of thousands of dollars and, like a lot of small businesses right now, that's just not realistic. 

After months of testing with our existing setup, we think we found a way to bring foil back.

It's not mass factory perfect. Occasionally there may be a tiny spot where the foil doesn't pull 100%. Nothing obvious, nothing we wouldn't personally use, and nothing that doesn't meet our standards will ship.

But overall? We think it looks pretty gorgeous.

Before we officially bring foil back…

Would you still want it knowing it's handcrafted and not machine perfect? 

Tell me honestly in the comments. Your feedback will decide this one.

Nothing ruins a perfectly good month like… bills Nothing ruins a perfectly good month like… bills.

Good news: when everything’s written down, at least the chaos is organized.

Pay it. Check it off. Pretend you’re thriving.

Personal Size planners get a bad rap for one reaso Personal Size planners get a bad rap for one reason…

They’re narrow.

And I get it.
Personal is the perfect middle ground. Bigger than Pocket, fits in your purse, but way more portable than A5.

But the width?
That’s always been the complaint.

Lately I’ve been seeing people try to squeeze Personal Wide into standard Personal binders… and then wonder why the pages stick out.

So instead of making it wider… I went the other direction.

Foldouts.

For 2026, I reworked the layout to give you more planning space without changing the footprint.

Month on one page
Straight into your weekly
Dashboard space (because you know I had to keep that)
And when it’s folded?
Standard Personal Size. Fits your binder like it should.

Now I need your opinion before I finalize this…

What works better in vertical boxes?

Who else misses Micro planners? I found this under Who else misses Micro planners? I found this under a stack of papers. Don’t know how long it’s been chillin under there but I’m going to start using it. Great for quick notes and things you need to dump but don’t need long term.
Field research, planner style. Since the Coach no Field research, planner style.

Since the Coach notebooks are sold out, I grabbed this leather cover on Amazon to test the fit.
Good news: it fits beautifully (and it’s roomy enough for tabs).

Bad news?
I got excited and didn’t read the whole listing.

No snap.
No elastic.
Just vibes.

Luckily I’ve got elastic on hand… but consider this your reminder from someone who learned the hard way:

Read the full listing, friends.

Sometimes the best combinations aren’t planned… they just happen.

The Aquarelle Sky cover paired with Candy Rush tabs turned out to be one of those moments. The colors line up so perfectly, it looks like they were made for each other.

Just a little unexpected color magic.
