Football Shaped card

Hi!  I'm so glad you stopped by today!  Well how about some more Football!?!?!?!  It's that time of year and I don't know about your  town, but in my hometown it's a BIG deal! 

I made another card for another one of my Sunday School kids.  He also plays Mighty Mite football and is a huge fan of the sport so it was pretty easy to decide what to make for his card.

  I used my Gypsy to weld two of the shadow cuts of the football on the Sportsmania cartridge.  It's embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and all edges are distressed with Antique Linen distressing ink.

I made the sentiment on my Gypsy using Pooh Font.  I really liked the completed card and hope you do  too.  It was fun to make and I really like the embossing. 



Again, I appreciate that you stopped by and would love to recive a comment!  Hope you have a blessed day!

Happy Birthday My Sheri Crafts!!!

 My Sheri Crafts is turning 2!  We are celebrating with a new challenge.  Let's do fun birthday projects (cards, invites, favors, party decor) for toddlers or kids under 5. Bright colors, balloons, cupcakes....NO elegant cards...FUN, FUN, FUN!!!

I decided to go with a tri-fold card:

The papers are from Bo Bunny, the font is from Disney Pooh Font and welded with my Gypsy.   

This cute little baby "Tigger" is also from Disney Pooh Font, the balloons and cupcake are from Doodlecharms.

 The pictures don't really show how soft and pretty the card is.  The pink shows up kind of flourescent.  I'm not much of a photographer, which you can tell if you can see the date on the pictures.  Really, I just made this card, but I can't seem to get the date set on my camera and keep it there!

Anyway.....thanks for coming by and now I hope you'll jump on over to My Sheri Crafts and check out all the team's projects.  Then join us with your fun kids birthday projects!  I hope to see 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!

It'a Challenge Time at My Sheri Crafts!

Hello & Happy Saturday to you!  I hope you are having a good weekend!  It's time for a new challenge over at My Sheri Crafts and this time we were asked to make an easel card with a shamrock. 

This is my card closed:

 And here it is open!  It's a 5x7 card made from dark green textured cardstock and the papers are from Die Cuts With a View.

 "Lucky" was cut from Creat a Critter and the sentiment was cut from Pooh Font and welded on my Gypsy. 

The pot of gold was cut from Paper Doll Dress Up and I used Glossy Accents on the gold to add more texture and shine.

The Top Hat and shamrock are also from Paper Doll Dress Up.

I added some doodling with a white gel pen and pop dotted the pot of gold to hold the easel and there you have it!

I hope you will join us with your easel card with a Shamrock.  You just may be our next GuestP Designer!  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Wyatt's 1st B-day layout

Hello!  I hope you are having a great weekend.  I got to spend Friday night and Saturday at a crop here in town and it was a blast!!!  So relaxing and productive!  First I'm showing a layout I did of Wyatt's first birthday.  The original post of birthday decorations pictures is here,  I used the decorations to embellish the layout pages. 

Mickey was cut with the "Fit to Page option.  He was used to "hold" one end of the birthday banner.

"Wyatt is 1" was cut with Pooh Font set.  The border was made with the border feature on Mickey Mouse and Friends, cut 3 times and mounted on a simple red strip that was embossed with the Cuttlebug Circles folder. The background paper is from a disney paper & embellishment book.

 Pluto had the other end of the banner tied to his tail!  He's also cut with the "fit to page" feature.

 The rest of the characters were table decorations and cut at 4"  (I think).  Aren't they cute!?!

This sentiment stamp is from Pink by Design and I added some doodling around it.  These layouts were a lot of fun and went together pretty quickly since the decorations were already put together.  I've had them on my workdesk for a year, so it was time to get them in the book and off my desk!!!

Thanks for stopping in!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend and have spent some time with God today.

Guest Design Spot for Love To Crop!

Hello!  I am so honored to be the Guest Designer at Love To Crop this week!  Thank you, Amy!  The challenge this week is to use CIRCLES on your project.  Please come over and join the fun!  Here is my card, which will go to a little girl in my Sunday School class, whose birthday I missed.  

 

The card base is made of two circles cut at 3"(shadow cut) from George & Basic Shapes, welded together on my Gypsy.  The background and layer are 3" basic circles.   I used Disney Classics for the rabbit (March Hare, isn't he?), cut at 2 3/4".  That pink shadow layer is really not that neon shade that it appears to be!

 "I'm Late!", the large watch hands and the pocket watch are all cut from gold foil paper from Wal-Mart.  This picture kind of shows the shine.  I used Disney Pooh Font for the sentiment.

 I love the great cuts on the Disney cartridges, but GEE WHIZZERS some of the pieces are so tiny!  Those little glasses and the pink in his right eye were almost too small for my tweezers!

All the edges were inked with brown and a little cupcake ribbon from Hobby Lobby and there you go!

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a great crafting weekend and I can't wait to see your projects linked up on Love To Crop!

Belated Birthday cards

I finally completed the cards for the birthday I missed.  Yes, cards plural.....it was a birthday for twins in my Sunday School class, so I had to make two!  So here is the card for the little boy...

I forgot to take the pictures BEFORE I wrote in the card :p !   I wish that I had placed a sun on the front of this one, but I've already delivered it, so too late now!  All images are all from Paper Dolls for Everyday and the font is from Ashlyn's Alphabet.  Sorry about the shadows on the pictures. 

And here is the card for the little girl...

I used my Gypsy and the Create a Critter cartridge to weld two of the skunk blackout features at 4", one upside down to make the card base.   Then I cut the skunk at 4".  I used the "hide" feature to crop the face, as it was smiling brightly.  The cupcake is from Doodlecharms cut at 1 1/2".  I decorated it freehand.  The sentiment is printed with Cricut markers and the Pooh font cartridge. 

Yesterday I spent all day at the choir district contests.  The kids did really well overall, 9 soloists and ensembles qualified for state competition!  Kudos to all the kids for their hard work!

That's about it for this REALLY WINDY Sunday, thanks for stopping by!

Disney Birthday

For Wyatt's 1st birthday decorations I made a banner and Disney characters to stand on the table. 

I made stands for the characters like we used to make for our paper dolls.  I stood these on the table around the cake.

The flags were cut from Stand & Salute at 6", the background cut at 6.75".  The letters are from Disney Pooh Font cut in yellow at 2.75". I intended to shadow them, but cut the black the same size as the yellow, so I offset the black instead and decided I really liked that better.

It doesn't show up very well with this dark background, but I used yarn to attach the banner to Mickey's hand and Pluto's tail. 

This picture shows the fun texture of the banner.  I used the Cuttlebug embossing dyes, Circles and Swiss Dots.  Next time I make one, I need to secure each flag together better.  Using just scrapbook adhesive, they came apart easily from the weight.  I'll probably use brads to connect them.  I'm still learning!
