and our theme is "Summer Fun".

I've used "Fairy Dancer" to make my card:

Thanks for stopping by!  I'm off to our "Wild West Rodeo Bible Camp"!  BUSY week!!!

I'd Be Lost Without You!

Hello Blog Buddies!   It's been awhile since I welcomed new followers and I see that we have almost reached 100!  Wow!  Welcome to all of you and thank you for joining me here!  When I first started this I seriously doubted I would get 15 or 20.  How exciting!   When we do hit 100, I will have a giveaway to celebrate, so keep an eye out for it!

It's time for another challenge at Creative Craft Challenges and we are having a recipe challenge this time.  Use 1 image, 1 sentiment, 2 patterned papers and 2 different embellishments. 

I used a Whoopsi Daisy image, a sentiment I created in Microsoft WORD, papers from Provo Craft and , and my 2 embellishments are buttons and ribbon/tag.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers

The sentiment is printed on Safemat paper and adhered onto a tag cut with Tags, Bags, Boxes and More.  

Well, I've had a great time working with the Creative Craft Challenges team, but this will be our last challenge for awhile.  Life gets really busy sometimes and Sandra, our blog leader, is just covered up with things happening right now.  So after this challenge we will be taking an extended break, so please come over and join us for this last challenge!  Hope to see you there!

Thank You Sew Much - My Sheri Crafts #120

Hello!  Happy Saturday!  We are having some beautiful Autumn weather.  I love this time of year!  The weather is cooling off and makes me think of evenings cozied up in my chair cross-stitching.  So this week's challenge at My Sheri Crafts is perfect!  Sue chose the theme "Stitch In Time"-make a project which includes a sewing theme. 

I chose this cute bear digi, "Patch", from Stamping Boutique to make a Thank You Card:

 I used Spellbinders dies to cut him out.  The patterned paper is from Melody Ross.

He's colored with my Spectrum Noir markers and I used a silver glitter gel pen to accent some of the dots around him.

 The sentiment is computer generated and cut out with Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and some gems from my stash.  I've used some of them on the corners of the image cut, too.  I've anchored the sentiment with a little bit of ribbon and some flower brads.

The inside is completed with scraps!  I really like how this card turned out!

 

So come on over to My Sheri Crafts and stitch up some fun!  Thanks for stopping by!

Snow Day Layout

Hello!  It's Challenge time again at My Sheri Crafts!  WooHoo!  This week we want to "Let It Snow"!  Create a card/project with a snow or snowflake theme.  Here is another layout of (who else?) my granddaughters playing in the snow.

     Aren't they cuties?!  Maybe I'm a little predjudiced?  Most definately!

 This cut is from Winter Woodland.  I just love that cartridge and especially this cut!  It's cut from white glitter paper.  The page borders are made with adhesive paper lace that I bought from LTD Commodities a couple of years ago, just stuck on a strip of plain blue cardstock.  Easy peasy!

This little tag is cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and then glittered, with a little strip of white & silver ribbon tied on.

This sled is cut from Stretch Your Imagination and the snowflakes are from the Christmas seasonal cartridge, also cut from glitter paper.

Thank you for stopping by, now get crafting and show us some snow!  Link up at My Sheri Crafts, I can't wait to see your projects!

My Sheri Crafts Challenge #74

I hope you had a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving and enjoyed every minute of time with your family.  If  you went shopping, I hope you were successful and safe!  I very much enjoyed my time with Tim's family on Thursday and will be spending time with my family as this post goes up. Well, now, on with the show!!

It's time to Decorate For Christmas at My Sheri Crafts!  What a fun challenge!  No cards this time, just Christmas ornaments or home decor.  I decided to make a Christmas version of the tag decor I posted earlier.

The tags are again cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More at 6" and they are cut from recycled cardboard....a Bisquick box this time!  :)  I used a deep cut blade and multi cut 2x.

 This tag is from Potpourri Basket cut a t 2" and "Merry Christmas" is from Calligraphy and 1 1/2".  The shiny paper is a silver foil paper from My Minds Eye.

The trees and the church are from Christmas seasonal cartridge and the star is from Joys of the season.  I used white glitter glue on the trees.  Really, it's white, not green like it looks in the picture! ;) 

 I used white glitter cardstock for the snow layers on the church and for the ground snow I used a 12" glitter border strip and tore it in half.  The background is a basic blue cardstock from my stash.  All other papers are from my scraps.  Then I used a light spritz of spray on glitter and it kind of looks like it really is snowing! 

I really had fun with this and I hope you have fun making your projects, too.  So now, get crackin' and show us your Christmas ornaments or decor 'cause the season is officially here!!!!

Thanksgiving Decor

I saw a super cute project on our challenge at My Sheri Crafts using tags and you can see it here.  I decided I wanted to use that same idea for Thanksgiving and here is my project:

 The tags are all cut at 6" from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and I used old cereal boxes for them.  The banner is from Potpourri Basket and "Blessings" is from Cindy Loo, and I used a shiny copper paper on them.

The other cuts are from Doodlecharms, My World, Savory, Disney Princess Happily Ever After, Joys of the Season, Botanicals, Disney Pooh & Friends and Paper Doll Dress Up.  Thank goodness for my Gypsy so I could arrange the paper and cut everything at one time!  I used up a ton of scraps on this, which was great.

I wanted a little sparkle, so I used spray glitter from Hobby Lobby.  It looks a little too glittery in this pic, but it doesn't sparkle quite that much under normal lighting.  I'm really pleased with how it turned out.  I think I'll make a Christmas one, too!  Just a little funny story about this one.  When I decided to make it, I had it pictured sitting on top of my t.v. and in my mind it looked great there!  Perfect spot!   When I got it finished and took the pictures I hurried upstairs and as I stepped into the living room I remembered......we have a new t.v that is one of those flat, thin screens.  There is NO WAY anything can sit on top of that t.v.!  Man, I was disappointed, aggravated and a little embarrassed that I had forgotten that!  So, now it's sitting on a table in the corner, under a lamp.  Oh well, it's still a nice project!  :-)

Wishing You Blue Skies

Today I have a card I made a week or two ago, but couldn't decide what I wanted to use it for or what sentiment I wanted to use.  I finally decided I needed a man's birthday card and this one would work! 

 The card base is from Hobby Lobby and I used chalk for the sky.  Then tore blue cardstock for the water and sandpaper for the beach.  The sun is cut from Disney Mickey Mouse cartridge and the beach chair and umbrella are cut from Life's A Beach. 

 I typed the sentiment on my computer and printed it on Letra Set Safmat.  That is great stuff and so easy to use to make your own stickers!  You can find it here. The tag is from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More.

I also chalked the inside with blue and brown, (for the sky and beach) and the rest of the sentiment on Safmat.

Texas Longhorn theme baby shower!?!

I have a great friend who is having a baby boy! Congrats Curtis & Barbie!!! I had told Barbie I would help with her baby shower decorations back when she first told me she was pregnant. I was a little surprised, though, when I found out last month that she wanted to use Texas Longhorns in the decorations. I hadn't thought about that. But, it got the imagination and creativity going! So here are some pictures of what I came up with:

These "diaper bags" were for the nuts and placed on the tables. They were cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More. The "toys" inside are from New Arrival.

The banner flags are from Stand And Salute, the onesies and animals are from New Arrival and the longhorn head is from Old West. I had to cut the whole steer and behead the poor things!

"Onesie Confetti"

And the "Diaper Cake"! Who needs a stork when you have a Longhorn?
:-)

I had LOTS of help with this from my granddaughters, Kaylee and Lexi. Thanks girls! I couldn't have gotten it all done without your help! Oh, and Barbie really liked the decorations!

Thanks for stopping by. This week I'm working on albums for some kids at a camp for abused and neglected children.

Red, White & Blue Birthday Card

This card is for a friend who is very patriotic and her birthday is close to the 4th.  I hope she likes it, it was really fun to make!

 The background paper is a mat stack I've had for a long time.  I know I got it from Hobby Lobby, but don't remember the brand.  The boy in the car is from "A Child's Year" cut at 2 1/2".  I inked the edges of the card with royal blue.

Again, I love pop-dots!

The tag is from "Tags, Bags, Boxes and More".  I tried several sizes, and am not sure which size this one is.  The stamp is from Studio G and the "ink" is Studio G's chalk ink.  I'm loving that stuff.  It shows up in color on even the darkest cardstock.  The "ribbon" is actually a strip of red cardstock that stuck on my cutting mat and came off in layers.  I usually hate it when that happens, but this time I could use it! 

 A quick finishing touch on the inside and voila!  And the coolest thing is, except for the star mat, this was all cut from scraps!

I'll be entering this card in the following challenges:
Birthday Sundaes Stars & Stripes Challenge ( I hope it counts that my stripe is on the inside)

Baby Boy Card

I had so much fun making this card!  I think this was the first time a card came to mind and it turned out just like I wanted it to!

The sketch for the layout is from the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge.   The paper is from K&Company.  It's and 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" pad so I just took a sheet and folded it in half to make the card 8 1/2 by 4 1/4". The squares on front are cut at 1 1/2" and 1 3/4".  The baby is from Everyday Paper Dolls, cut at 1 1/2", the tag is from Bags, Tags, Boxes and More, and all other cuts are from New Arrival. The moon and onezie are also cut and 1 1/2", the feet at 1"  and the phrase at 3/4".  I'll be entering this card in the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge and I think I'll submit it to Provo Craft for a project spotlight.  Wish me luck and thanks for stopping by!
