My Sheri Crafts Challenge #132

It's time for a new challenge over at My Sheri Crafts!  this week Peachy chose the theme "In Celebration of Moms."  Create a project to celebrate that special woman in your life....or even yourself!

This butterfly background piece is from the Cricut Paper Lace cartridge, the labels are from Storybook and the sentiment is from Mother's Day 2010 cartridge. I added a little red ink to the pink cardstock cuts to make them stand out a little from the lighter paper and it matches the roses in the light side.  I love this pretty paper from K & Co!

That ribbon looks black, but it's really a nice dark brown that matches the paper almost perfectly!

I had a bit of trouble getting the sentiment cut.  I tried several different things but the "er's" just wouldn't seem to work.  I was left with a perfect "Happy Moth Day" cut, but I just couldn't figure out what to do with them!  Finally it dawned on me to change the blade and it cut perfectly!  Sometimes I'm just a little slow!

 I hope you'll jump over to My Sheri Crafts to check out all the beautiful inspiration and join in the fun!

Hello me Mateys!  'Tis time for another challenge at My Sheri Crafts!  Charlotte challenged us with the theme "Let's Take a Trip".  Make a project that has something to do with traveling.  It could be a mode of travel, a destination, reason to travel, etc.  I decided to get out my Buccaneer cartridge and play with it.  

 

 I had a lot of fun with this!  I just love that ship!  "Ahoy, 'tis a birthday boy" is done with the Storybook cartridge, arranged and welded with my Gypsy.
To make the letters stand out better, I outlined them with a black marker. 

 The papers are also from the Buccaneer cartridge and are all ink distressed.  I like both papers, but that green looks like the deep green sea with big bubbles floating around!

I pop dotted the layers on both the ship and the pirate. The card base is a file I created and saved on the Gypsy.   It's a really fun card and I love how it turned out! 

Thanks for stopping by!  Please go check out all the great inspiration from the other team members and then join in the fun!   Arrrrgggg!

My Sheri Crafts Challenge!

Hello again!  I'm happy you're here! It's time for another challenge at My Sheri Crafts and this time we are celebrating Arbor Day.  Our teammate Peachy has challenged us to feature a tree or nature on our projects.  I kind of used both -

The tree is a cut from Pooh & Friends cartridge, the boy reading is from A Child's Year and the tag is from Storybook.  I added some adhesive paper lace I bought from LTD Commodities a LONG time ago.  The paper is double sided paper from K & Co.

That's all I have today, so head on over to My Sheri Crafts, check out the DT inspiration and get crafting!  I'll see  you there!

My Sheri Crafts #98 Grateful card

Good afternoon and Happy Saturday!  Welcome to challenge at My Sheri Crafts!  This week we are preparing for Thanksgiving...can you believe it's here already?!?  Join us with your project showing thanks.  Here's mine:

 The border punch and the gems are from Martha Stewart.  All papers are scraps, except the card base.  The ribbon is brown sheer from Celebrate It.  I've weaved it into the border punch also. 

This sentiment stamp is one of my favorite Studio G stamps.  I think it's so elegant!  The tag was a cut I found in my stash.  I think it was from Storybook cartridge.  The yellow layer is a Paper Lace cut, turned diagonally.

 
 I ran the yellow intricate cut through my sticker maker and there was a lot of adhesive showing around the edges.  Instead of using the gum eraser to take off all of it in all those small cut outs, I just sprinkled some copper glitter over it to add a little sparkle the easy way!

The inside cut is preloaded on the Imagine.  I used Tim Holz distress inks in Antique Linen and Rusty Hinge on both the inside cut and the sentiment tag. 

Thanks for stopping by and please be sure to check out all the great inspiration from my Design Team sisters!  They have created some things that will surely get your Mojo going!  Join us with your Thankful creations and maybe you will receive an Ooh-La-La award or be our next Guest Designer!  Have fun!

Glass Etching Samples

Hello!  Today I have some glass etching samples.  My neice is getting married in June and asked me to etch her champagne flutes.  She is using daisies in her wedding.  Here are some samples for her to pick from. 

This first one has an H from Storybook and a flower from George & Basic Shapes.

This H is from Calligraphy Collection with the same flower.  It's kind of hard to get good pictures of glass etching!

This H is from Billionaire, same flower

This H is from Storybook and the rose is from Disney Princess Happily Ever After. 

I need to move the design up about 1/2", but otherwise they came out pretty good.  I hope you like one of them Emily.  If not, I can keep etching all the way round 'em 'til we find something better! :)

Breast Cancer Card

As I'm sure you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Looking through a few challenge blogs, I found a couple requiring pink, some requiring breast cancer awareness, one requiring swirls and one requiring a ribbon loop. This card just all came together in my mind and it turned out just like I hoped.  But before I get to the card, I would ask that you please remember my friend in prayer.  She just found out she has breast cancer and meets with the surgeon Tuesday, Oct. 4 to find out how extensive it is and what the treatment plan is.  This card is for her.

 The card base is from Hobby Lobby.  I used my Cuttlebug and a Quickutz swirls folder to emboss the front, then chalked it with pink.  The flowers are some I bought from a friend who was selling all of her supplies and all edges are inked with pink.

 
 The tag was cut from Storybook,  the pink layer at 2" and the white at 1 3/4".  The sentiment I created on my computer.

 Inside is the same tag cut at 3 1/2" and 3 1/4". 
I hope you like the card, I'm pretty pleased with it.  I'll be entering this card in the following challenges:
My Sheri Crafts - Think Pink
Link Up For Pink - They actually asked me to link up! :)
CASual Fridays - Ribbon loops
Do You Stack Up - swirls
More Than Favors - Breast Cancer

Thanks for stopping by and again, please remember my friend in your prayers!

You're the Apple of My Eye

It's Designed2Delight digi stamp time again!  This week the stamp is "School Maisie Bell" and here is the card I made.

"Maisie" is printed at 3" and cut out with Storybook cartridge.   I found a piece of lime green cardstock in my scrap box just the right size and used a Cuttlebug folder to emboss it.  I cut the card base from Martha Stewart cardstock and made the card 4 1/4 x 5 1/4.   

 I colored the digistamp with colored pencils and used Glossy Accents on the layered apples and her shoes.  I have always liked little girls in black patent leather shoes!

 I printed the sentiment on Letraset Safmat.

 The inside is another cut from Storybook.

Painting Nails Layout

The girls just love to paint their nails.  They paint, remove, paint, remove and paint again.  I finally had to make a 1 time rule to save my polish remover!  Here is a layout I made of it.  I just kind of liked the way it turned out.

"Stylin" is cut from Cindy Loo font at 1".  The dolls are cut from Paper Doll Dress Up at 3".  I used metallic gel pens to color the hat band and detail the dresses.  The faces are Peachy Keen Stamps.  The mat for the story is from Storybook.   The papers are Nana's Kids.  TFL!
