Being A Big Brother

It's time for another new challenge at Tuesday Throwdown!  This week our sponsor is 

and our challenge theme is "Real Life Heroes.  I've used our sponsor's images "Super Hero #3" and "Spotlight" for my card:

The images are colored with Spectrum Noir markers and I've cut out the Hero and mounted him with foam dots.  The sentiment is one I read online and typed up.  The blue paper is some I've had in my stash for years and years.  It looked like the perfect match for the images and I didn't feel like it needed any more embellishments for a little boy.  I've made this for one of my little Zebra Buddies who is going to be a big brother soon.

"Rawr means I Love You"

It's Tuesday and that means another fun challenge at Tuesday Throwdown!  This week our them is the ever popular "Anything Goes" and our sponsor is.........(insert drumroll here).........


                           

Lawn Fawn sent us all some sweet stamps to work with and I got to use the cutest little dinosaur stamp set called "Rawr".

I've colored the little Dino with Spectrum Noir markers and cut him out.  The diecuts are Cricut cuts that worked perfectly with the stamp.  The twine is also a gift from our sponsor and was the inspiration for my color scheme.  The papers are all scrap pieces from my stash.  

This is the cute sentiment stamp that came with the set. 

I think this will be a perfect valentine for one of my Zebra Buddies!  

Thanks for stopping by and I sure hope to see you join us!

Dance To The Music of Your Dreams...

Hello!  It's Tuesday and you know what that means...a new challenge at Tuesday Throwdown!  This week we are sponsored by
                                            
and we have a sketch for your inspiration:

 I've used our sponsor's image "Love Bug 5" for my card for one of my Zippy Zebra buddies:

 I've colored the image with Spectrum Noir pencils and mounted it onto a Spellbinders Die.  The background paper is from the latest Cardmaking and Paper Crafts Magazine freebie.   The flower brads are some golden oldies I've had in my stash since I started scrapbooking...which was before I started cardmaking...which was before I started blogging...so they're OLD!

 Inside I've used a sentiment stamp from Stampabilities and on the left is a sticker.

I love this sentiment: "Dance to the music of your dreams; the steps will bring you joy."  I found this in my "Sentiments" folder and I know it was a magazine freebie,but I'm not sure which one.  I think it was Cardmaker Magazine.  

Thanks for stopping by!  Please go by and check out all the great inspiration at Tuesday Throwdown!

You're One Cool Chick!

Hello!  It's time for a new challenge at Tuesday Throwdown.  This week we are sponsored by Sami Stamps and our theme is "Add Dimension".  This is going to be a fun one|!!!

I've used our sponsor's image "Little Miss Feather Chick" for my card.  What a cute image! 

She's colored with Spectrum Noir markers and I've added some of my favorite---Sheer Ribbon ---with a Gem slide from The Paper Studio and a feather from my stash.  I've colored and cut a second hat to add another layer of dimension.  The background paper is

some I've had in my stash for a long time.  There's no name on the back of the paper so I'm guessing it came from a pad and is probably from Die Cuts With a View. 

This is another card for one of my Zippy Zebra Buddies and inside it says "You're One Cool Chick!" 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll join us this week!

A Teddy Bear Hello

Hi!  I'm glad you're here 'cause I have a cute little bear to share with you!  This week at My Sheri Crafts we are celebrating National Teddy Bear Day on Sept. 9!  I love Teddy Bears!!!

Isn't he cute?!?!  He's from Cricut's Teddy Bear Parade cartridge.

And I made him a wobbler!  This is for one of my Zebra Buddies who is only 2, so I thought the cuter and more fun, the better!

Get out your cute Teddy Bears and join the fun at My Sheri Crafts!

Too Cute to Pinch!

It's another Saturday, which means another new challenge at My Sheri Crafts!  This time Sue has challenged us with "Down at the Beach" -  make something with a beach or seaside theme.  With the temperatures they're predicting for us next week, I'm going to wish I was at the beach!!

I used a card cut from Cricut's "Life's A Beach" cartridge for my card this week.  These make really cute, quick and easy cards.  

The sentiment is computer generated, I just wanted a little rhyme for a my new Zippy Zebra buddy who is very young.  I added a little fuzzy yarn to his mouth, thinking it would just make it show up better, but it looks kind of like a mustache! I added the fuzzy bric-a-brac ribbon because I thought it kind of looked like waves and the stickers are some I bought at Dollar General years and years ago when I first started scrapbooking.  I finally was able to throw away the sheet!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll join us this week!  See you there!

Dora Tag Card

Hello again Bloggies!  This week at My Sheri Crafts, Raquel has challenged us with the theme "Tags, tags and more tags - Make a project that features a "tag"!  I made a tag shaped card for one of my "Zebra Buddies" who likes Dora the Explorer.

For the card base, I used the Flourish Tag from the Phrases Cricut cartridge, duplicated, flipped and welded.  Oh, and used the print feature on the Explore 1, which is AWESOME!!!  

                                                                                                 The stickers are leftover from my granddaughter's birthday scrapbook pages that I made several years ago.  (Those girls are both driving now!)  The stickers have a little shine to them that shows up more in this picture.  I added a few Paper Studio gems to the border sticker and one to the flower.  Cute and yet simple!  I think now that I should have welded a circle over the hole in the inside, but I guess it's o.k., especially now that it's all done and ready to mail!  

If you would like to spread some smiles on some little faces fighting chronic illness and their siblings, check out Zippy Zebras Smiles & Hugs, they are always in need of more card senders.  

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll join us this week at My Sheri Crafts!

Marshall from Paw Patrol???

Good Afternoon!  Today at My Sheri Crafts Sandy has challenged us to "Accessorize" our projects - Add either pearls or bling or both!  Well I needed a card for a little boy, so I went with some blingy stars.

This card is for another of my little Zebra Buddies who likes Paw Patrol.  I thought this cute pup from Cricut's Animal Kingdom looked enough like Marshall to work, don't you?  The fire truck is also a Cricut cut from City Transportation.  The paw prints are a Sizzix die and the background paper is from The Paper Studio's Nana's Kids collection.  The stars are oooooold ones from my stash and I don't even know what company!

I think he's cute and hopefully a 5 year old little boy will think he's Marshall!

Thanks for stopping by!

Send a Smile for Kids - bright colors
ABC Challenge - "H" is for Heavy (lots of dies & embellishments)

A Big "Howdy" from the Barn!

HOWDY!  This time at My Sheri Crafts Sheri has challenged us to make shaped cards!  Those are always fun!!!  I used a barn from Cricut's County Fair cartridge and made a card base with it.  

Inside I used the Board front from the Old West cartridge.  I love being able to do this with the Explore!  

This card isn't very fancy, but it's going to a little 7 year old boy that I'm just getting to know through the Zippy Zebra's Smiles and Hugs program.  This is a group that sends cards to children with chronic illness or special needs and their siblings.  No one gets left out!  I've got a drawerful of cards, so I thought this would be a great place to use a lot of them!

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my card!  I hope you'll join us in this fun challenge this week!
