Hello Pumpkin!

Wow, is it already the end of September?  Unbelievable!  I don't know where the time has gone, but I do know "It's Picking Time" at My Sheri Crafts!  Include an apple or a pumpkin on your project and join us!  I made a fun pumpkin-shaped card.

This cut is from Everyday Paper Dolls at 4" and I embossed it with a woodgrain folder.  The base is made with two of the pumpkin cuts just slightly larger, sized and welded with my Gypsy.

The little tag is a Cuttlebug die and I used alpha stamps from Studio G for the sentiment.  A little raffia finishes it off.

 Another of the same cut, slightly smaller for the inside and I trimmed off the vines.  All edges are inked with Studio G ink.

I thought it turned out really cute!  Be sure to go check out all my Design Team sisters projects.  They do such fantastic work!  I hope you will join us with  your pumpkins or apples and see if you win an Ooh-La-La award or maybe even be our next Guest Designer! I can hardly wait to see your creations!

My Sheri Crafts Challenge #72

It's time for another challenge over at  My Cheri Crafts and it's my first official post as a Design Team member!!!!  This week "It's All About Sports!"  Make a project with a sports related theme, so I made a layout of my granddaughters in Upward Cheerleading.

I had a hard time deciding on background paper, so I used a foam megaphone I found on clearance at Wal-Mart a couple of years ago.  It's actually supposed to be stuck on the wall, but I inked it and used it as a stamp! 

The banner flags, basketball and hoop all were cut from Sports Mania.   The "Let's Go" is from Plantin Schoolbook.

 

  I wrote the girl's names on the banners with blue glitter gel pen and used baker's twine to "tie" them.

The little cheer dolls were cut from Every Day Paper Dolls.  I accented the their outfits with the blue glitter gel pen, a white gel pen for the whites of their eye and those CUTE Peachy Keen face stamps. 

Come on over to My Sheri Crafts and join in the challenge this week.  We'd love to have you!

When Life Brings Rain...

Dance in the Puddles!  

This card base is from Hobby Lobby, the cardstock is some I've had in my stash forever, the paper flowers are also from my "had this forever" stash and I folded them in quarters to get the shape, size and fluffiness I was looking for.  The ribbon is from Michaels and the little cloud stamp is from Studio G.  The little girl is cut from Everyday Paper Dolls @ 1 1/2", the puddle and grass are from Create a Critter.  The sentiment is my own and computer generated. 

I'm submitting this card to the following challenges:

Get Inspired with Chatterscene April Showers Challenge

Baby Boy Card

I had so much fun making this card!  I think this was the first time a card came to mind and it turned out just like I wanted it to!

The sketch for the layout is from the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge.   The paper is from K&Company.  It's and 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" pad so I just took a sheet and folded it in half to make the card 8 1/2 by 4 1/4". The squares on front are cut at 1 1/2" and 1 3/4".  The baby is from Everyday Paper Dolls, cut at 1 1/2", the tag is from Bags, Tags, Boxes and More, and all other cuts are from New Arrival. The moon and onezie are also cut and 1 1/2", the feet at 1"  and the phrase at 3/4".  I'll be entering this card in the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge and I think I'll submit it to Provo Craft for a project spotlight.  Wish me luck and thanks for stopping by!

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!
