My Sheri Crafts #104 - Time to go Fishin'!

Hello all!  I'm so glad you stopped by today.  It's time for another fun challenge over at My Sheri Crafts.  This week our challenge runs through March 1st and "It's Time to go Fishin'! "  March 1st is the first day of Trout season.  I live near a state park so March 1st is a big deal in our town.  We even let out school for the first day of Trout Season!  So in this challenge I've asked everyone to include a fish in your project.  Here's mine:

The paper is from Die Cuts With a View and the cuts are all from Animal Kingdom.  

I cut the fishbowl and the shadow cut from an old clear cutting mat cover so it would look like glass and you could see through it, just as you would a real fishbowl.  Then I made an outline cut of the bowl with silver metallic paper so I could glue the two pieces together with the fish, water and plant in between.  I used some old shell and sand stickers from my stash.  

Doesn't it look like real glass?

The sentiment cut is also from Animal Kingdom,  with another coulple of "O"s and a bubble welded to it.  I bit of doodling with my white gel pen and a few gems from The Paper Studio and there you have it!

OK---your turn!  Head on over to My Sheri Crafts and join in the fun!  Be sure to leave some bloggie love for all the design team!  Hope you have a great week!

Teddy Bear Heart Shaped Card

Hi!  Glad you stopped by 'cause it's time for another fun challenge over at Creative Craft Challenges!

  This we we are sponsored by Robyn's Fetish and our theme is "Hugs and Kisses".  Here's my fun card

I created the card base on my Gypsy by welding the shadow cut of a  heart shape from the Lovestruck cartridge.  The patterned paper layer is the base cut of the same heart cut.  The paper is from The Paper Studio.

This cute digi is from Robyn's Fetish, colored with my Spectrum Noir pens.  I was really please with how he turned out, considering this was my first attempt at coloring an animal!

And look!  He wobbles!!  I've tried several times to make an action wobble, but they've never turned out just real great.  This one actually worked!  He sits level, moves freely and...well...everything he was supposed to do!

So now it's your turn!  Gather up your lovey-dovey papers, digis, die cuts, etc. and join us!  Head on over to Creative Craft Challenges and check out all the wonderful DT inspiration, then link up your project!  Anxious to meet you there!

A Tiger Birthday!

Hello!  Today I wanted to make a quick post of Lexi's birthday card and cake.  As you may have seen on my post about her cupcakes, she wanted a tiger birthday.  So here is her card:

 The card is cut from a scrap of textured cardstock and the patterned paper is from The Paper Studio (I think...I'll have to check on that again!). 

The  "GRRRR" is cut from Animal Kingdom, the "eat" is from Alphalicious and the rest is from Pooh Font.  The corner punch is from Martha Stewart.

This tiger is also from Animal Kingdom.  I added some doodling with a white gel pen and accented the tiger with a silver gel pen.

I was SOOO pleased with this cake!  I took the bakery a picture I had printed off the internet and they scanned it onto the cake!

Isn't that cool!  Lexi saw the cake on the table when she came in the door and RAN to it with a  big "Ooohhhhhh"!  Made her Mamaw happy! 

 If you look close, you can see that Wyatt is already licking his lips in anticipation! :) 

Well, I'm off to the school for Kaylee's birthday now!  Unfortunately, she didn't decide she wanted me to bring cupcakes in time for me to make her any decorations.  After all, she's a big 6th grader now and she's struggling with still wanting Grandma to do stuff, but feeling maybe she's too old for it.  Little does she know, you never really outgrow needing your Grandma!

Tiger B-Day Cupcakes

Hello again!  Two posts in one day....what's up with me?  lol!  Well my little Lexi is 11!!!!  She wanted a "Tiger Birthday" this year as she has decided that tigers are her "favorite animals in the world" right now.  :)  So for her school party I made some tigers from Animal Kingdom cut at 2 1/4" and stuck them in the icing.  Easy Peasy!!!

 Lexi was really tickled with them and as she passed them out to her classmates I heard some of the kids ask her where I got the tigers and she very proudly answered "My Grandma made them!"  Yeah, my heart swelled!

I saw that Fantabulous Cricut's challenge was for a cat, lion, tiger, etc., so I thought I would enter this project there.  Thanks for stopping by again!  Be sure to check back tomorrow afternoon for a new challenge from My Sheri Crafts!
