Back to School Layout - My Sheri Crafts

Hello All!  How's your weekend going?  I'm having my first weekend in a while with no major commitments, so I'm good! 

It's time for another challenge at My Sheri Crafts and this week Glenda  challenged us to make a project with a back to school theme.  Include a school bus or school house if you can. 

I made a layout for my daughter's first day of kindergarten, but so far I can't find the album that has her baby-early school pictures.  I don't know where I put it!  Anyway, the layout is ready when I find it!

The background paper has been in my box for a couple of years and I think it's from The Paper Studio? The schoolhouse and chalkboard have also been in my stash forever.  I used a Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page border punch and Doodle Charms for the buses.

 

I made the sentiment with Kate's ABC's and hand cut the green base. 

That's it for today!  Be sure to head over to My Sheri Crafts to check out all the great inspiration from the rest of the team and join us!  Thanks for stopping in today, I appreciate your visit!

Pretty Pink Birthday Card

Hello!  I hope you are planning a fun weekend and your weather is beautiful!  We are gearing up for a Bull Riding outreach event sponsored by our church.  We will have free food, games, music and a bull ride with a devotion time instead of intermission.  The weather forecast looks perfect and we are excited to get it going!  If you are in the Cassville, MO area, come on out and join in the fun!

Today I have a pretty and simple card I made for a friend's birthday.  I just bought a new Martha Stewart border punch and of course had to use it right away!

The card is cut from Anna Griffen paper (love her stuff!) at 4 1/4 x 11, folded to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I used a Martha Stewart  butterfly border punch on the pink piece.  The cupcake is from Doodlecharms.  If you have looked at my blog much, you will see that I use this cupcake a lot! :)

You can just barely see that the "icing" is cut from white glitter paper.

 I outlined everything with a dark pink marker and pop dotted the cupcake.  Seems like I have to use those in almost every card.

                          This sentiment stamp is from Studio G

The inside is finished out with the same border punch.  I hope you like the card and I really hope my friend likes it, too!

This card also fits the Flutter By Wednesday challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastically blessed weekend!!!

Cupcake card

So here is project number two!  This is a super easy card.  I made it to enter in the Cooking With Cricut  challenge.  In the pictures, the card looks kind of red, but it's actually a deep pink and the cupcake bottom is light pink. The challenge requires 2 shades of pink and a cake. 

The card was made from the Doodlecharms cartridge card feature.  The lace on the front is sticky back paper lace I bought from LTD Commodities a few years ago.  The "icing" is cut from glitter paper and I ran the bottom of the cupcake through my paper crimper.  The #1 is cut from George and a cute Peachy Keen face finishes it off.  Super simple, but kind of cute! Thanks for checking in!

Mother's Day Card

Here is a Mother's Day card made with a digi stamp called "Ladybug Balancing Act" from Designed 2 Delight challenge.  This blog will give you a free digi stamp each week if you use it to make a project and post it to their challenge.  Very generous!

                        This is for my mother-in-law, who has 3 sons.

 I can only imagine the scary situations a mom of 3 boys has come upon. :)

                                I love pop dots!

         Little, simple finishing touches inside make a huge difference.

The card base is from Hobby Lobby; base paper is handmade paper from The Paper Studio; ladybug is cut from Doodle Charms; the sentiment tag cut from Gypsy Wanderings; the sun is from Life is a Beach with the face hidden with the Gypsy and a Peach Keen stamp instead; ribbon is from Michaels and the sentiment is computer generated.

I'll be entering this in these challenges:
