"John Deere" Boot Birthday

*** HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYLEE!!!!  ***

Unbelievably, my oldest granddaughter turns 13 today!  Officially a teen-ager!  She became a huge John Deere fan about 2 years ago and I've made a couple of tractor cards for her.  This year I wanted to do something different, but still with her favorite theme. 

The boot is from Old West cartridge and the label is from Lacy Labels.  I used a punch for the '13'.

Everything has been inked with Tim Holtz distress ink.  I really like how the boot turned out.  It doesn't show up too well here, but the yellow boot tip has some pen work that really makes it look almost real. 

 I added some Marigold and Pea Pod twine from The Twinery.  The sentiment is from K Andrews.

The inside sentiment is from Pink By Design and the stickers are NRN Designs.  Fun, simple card.  I hope she likes it! 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week.  It's Holy Week!  Be sure to take some time to think about what Jesus did for us and Praise Him!

Hey Chick!

Here's a fun card I made back in December, but had never posted. 

This fun chicken is from Beccy's Place and colored with Spectrum Noir pens.  I added a fun feather from my stash.

 

 
The paper is from The Paper Studio, Countryside Villa stack.  There are some beautiful papers in that stack!

Thanks again for coming by.  Have a blessed day!

Creative Crafts Challenge - For The Kids!

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  It's time for another challenge at Creative Crafts Challenges and this week we have two wonderful sponsors -      

For my card this week I've used an image from Doodle Dragon and made a Get Well card.

This is the first time I've used a pre-colored image, but I was running short on time to get this ready for the DT post.  Isn't he cute?

 The sentiment is computer generated and I hand cut the banner.  The ribbon is some I've had in my stash for a looooong time.

The stamp is from Stampabilities and all the ovals were

cut with the Creative Memories oval cutting system.

Very simple, but I think it made a cute card.  Thanks for checking in today and be sure to head over to Creative Craft Challenges to check out the rest of the team's inspiration.  Then join us!  See you again soon!

My Sheri Crafts Challenge - Easter!

Hi Bloggies!  It's feeling like spring here in the Ozarks and I love it!  I hope your weather is beautiful, too. 

It's time for an Easter challenge at My Sheri Crafts.  I made a fun little card:

Looks like the Easter Bunny is peeking in on his secret stash in the bunny hole! :-) 

 The bunny is cut from the Cricut Spring 2010 cart., then I added a little lavender ink sponged around the edges.  The lace trims are a gift from a fellow MSC teamie. 

 This basket is a sticker I found on clearance at Joanne's after Valentine's Day and it originally had a red heart in it.  I just pulled that out, punched a few ovals with a hole punch and glued them in.  Voila'!  Now it's an Easter Basket instead of a Valentine Basket!  The stamp is from a set I bought from LTD Commodities years ago.

Did you notice anything goofy about my patterned paper?  If you did, well, what's a girl to do after you've already glued it down?  If you didn't, I'm not tellin'!

Now it's your turn!  Head over to My Sheri Crafts and check out all the cute, fun team inspiration and then join us!  See if you can get yourself the new "Ooh-la-la" button or a Guest Designer spot!  Thanks for stopping by!

Tuesday Throwdown Paper Piecing

Hello Blogland Friends!  It's Tuesday and that means we're throwing down another challenge at Tuesday Throwdown!  This week we are Paper Piecing and are sponsored by:

Tracy was sweet enough to let our Design Team A each choose one item from her store to use for this weeks challenge.  I LOVED looking through her store and finally settled on this flower, V6 Daisy, to make a sympathy card.

I matted the flower on a couple of ovals from Spellbinders fancy ovals die cuets.  The lace I've added is a gift from another DT Buddie.  I felt like it was just what this card needed!  I added a simple brown glitter brad.

Isn't that cool?!?  Just look at all this layering!  I had so much fun looking through her store.  There's a ton of great stuff there!  This flower pattern also has frame borders to match, but I didn't use them this time.  Be on the lookout for this flower again with the matching borders.

I added a sentiment stamp from Stampin' Up, then hand cut it and the mat for it.  The card base is cut to 5x7 from Anna Griffin paper.

The inside is finished out with some oatmeal colored paper on a Kraft paper mat.  I used a Martha Stewart corner punch and a stamp from Stampabilities.

 Well, now it's your turn.  Show us your Paper Piecing projects and have fun!  Can't wait to see what you create!

My Sheri Crafts #105 Read Across America

Hi Bloggies!  Are you having a good weekend?  I am way late getting this post up 'cause today was District Choir Competition and I was gone all day playing the piano for solos and ensembles.  I was working hard on music all week and totally forgot to schedule a post!

Anyway....this week Charlotte hosted the challenge at My Sheri Crafts and our theme is "Read Across America" - Make a project that has something to do with reading. Examples are bookmarks, projects with a book on it, image of reading, something about your favorite book,etc.

I made a corner book mark.  I have seen these before and thought they were neat, so I gave it a try.

The paper is from Anna Griffin,  the little strip is the other side of the pink.  The flower is Creative Memories paper flowers.

On the back side I added a cut from A Child's Year and a few gems from The Paper Studio.

That's it....simple little corner bookmark!  Now it's your turn! Come on over and join us!
