We have Spring Fever at My Sheri Crafts!

Hello!  It's another Saturday and another new challenge at My Sheri Crafts!  This week Peachy has challenged us to create a Spring themed project.  I found this cute bunny image on Cricut's "Kates ABC's" cartridge and quickly cut it out.  I had the piece of lavender cut left over from another project and they easily layered together.  I submitted this photo to the group challenge page:

I just kept looking at it and liked it o.k., but felt it needed a little bit of something else.  So I added this flower:

I think it's a little better, but I'm not sure I'm liking that flower either.  I'm going to keep looking at it and if I decide on something else I'll post another pic!

For now, just come on over to My Sheri Crafts and share your Spring Themed projects with us!

A Little Easter Scene



Hello and Happy Tuesday!  This week at Tuesday Throwdown we are sponsored by   and our theme is "Create a Scene".  I used the stamp set "Eggstra Special" to create my card:


eggstra special easter

I stamped the basket twice and the tulip 4 times.  The grass is from Cricut's Mickey and Friends cartridge.  I've colored the images with Spectrum Noir markers fussy cut them.  Then I used a lot of foam dots!  I like the little scene, but it needed just a finishing touch, so I added ribbon from Joann's and a Paper Studio flower with a purple button on it, with a little bit of twine of course.  I thought the flower kind of looked like a sun shining over the bunny.

I had a lot of fun with this one, so I hope you'll hop on over to Tuesday Throwdown and join us!

It seems like it's been forever since I entered any challenges!  This card is entered here:

Creative Moments - Anything goes, optional twist of adding a sentiment on front 
Digi Chooseday - Easter and/or flowers
The ABC Challenge - C is for Cute
Deep Ocean - Easter

I'M BACK IN MY CRAFTROOM!!

Finally!!!  Our move is complete and I have my craftroom set up again! Whew!  Talk about withdrawal!  When I get all the last boxes empty and put away, I'll post some pictures of my new space.  But for now, I'm finally back to joining my Design Teams!  Yeah!

This week at Tuesday Throwdown we are sponsored byhttp://www.drsdesigns.com/    and our challenge theme is "Make Your Own Background".  I've been wanting to try the shaving cream technique, so I did and here's my card:
"What Cancer Cannot Do" is from our sponsor and I've cut it out with a Spellbinders die.  The other diecuts are Cricut Cuts.  

Thanks for stopping by and I'll get back in the groove of posting soon, I hope!  Be sure to head over to Tuesday Throwdown and join us!

Merry & Bright Shadowbox


This is my first shadowbox project and I love it!  I think I'm hooked!  I had actually made this one before the one I made for the My Sheri Crafts post, but had left it in "Draft" status.

The holly leaves are just paper, but they really look like I've stuffed the box with them.  I bought these cute little "bulbs" at the Dollar General.  The font is "Elegant Cake" with some swirls welded to it.  All swirls and flourishes are Cricut cuts.  That's it!  Super simple, but sweet!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Jingle All The Way Shadowbox

I am in the middle of packing up my whole house and moving!  My whole craft room is in cardboard boxes and I'm having such severe withdrawal that I forgot to make my last post for My Sheri Crafts!  This was due up Saturday, the 2nd!

This time our challenge theme is "Let's Build a Snowman - include a snowman in your project".  I've seen lots of these "Jingle All The Way" shadowboxes and decided to make one of my own.


I used "Precious" font and some snowflake cuts from Cricut.  My snowmen are on the cute background paper.  I've filled the shadowbox with various sizes and colors of jinglebells.  I love the way it turned out!  

Sorry I'm so late with my post, and I'll be back with a new project as soon as I can get my craftroom moved and set up!

Cute & Cuddely Tuesday

Good morning!  It's Team A's turn again at Tuesday Throwdown and we're getting "Cute And Cuddely"!  Our sponsor is
                                                           http://www.mygrafico.com/digital-stamps/cat_95.html

They've provided us cute penguin digis to use this week and I've combined 2 of them:

I love penguins!  Have I mentioned that before on this blog?  *grin*  I've colored these with Spectrum Noir markers and mounted them on a beautiful piece of paper that came with an issue of Cardmaking & Papercrafting Magazine.  Gotta love freebies!!!


I tried to show the little bit of shimmer in the paper, but it doesn't really show up.  Even though the paper really didn't need any embellishing, I added 3 sequins and the strip of silver ribbon just because I couldn't help myself.

Please stop by Tuesday Throwdown to check out all the CUTE inspiration there and join us!  See you there!
