Down At The Beach

Design Team sister Sue from My Sheri Crafts is challenging us to make a project featuring the beach! I just got back a couple of weeks ago from a month-long vacation, most of which was spent on the beach, so I was more than inspired to make some handmade Project Life cards with a horizontal aspect. I used paper from Graphic 45, embellishments from Close To My Heart, K&Co and The Paper Studio, flowers from Prima, and washi tape from Recollections, mt and The Paper Studio.

Here are also some pics of the beach and surrounding water in Palawan. :-)

We would love to see your beach-inspired creations at My Sheri Crafts! Come join us!

Accessorize!

Design team sister Sandy from My Sheri Crafts challenges us to accessorize our crafts! I made an endless flip book using Paper Sweetpea's You Tube tutorial. I used paper from Graphic 45 and accessorized the flip book with embellishments from K and Co, Prima, Gold Sequins from CTMH, Melissa Frances blue crepe paper ruffles and washi tape from Recollections. This was a lot of fun to make and I had to restrain myself from making a whole bunch of them. lol!

Spring Fever

Hello everyone! It's my turn to host our biweekly challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Spring comes early here in sunny AZ, and I was inspired to make a flipbook mini album using Lisa's You Tube Tutorial. I used the Gilded Lily paper pack from Graphic 45, a butterfly and crystals and pearls from Prima. I added some Martha Stewart stickers (they remind me of crown molding), and some dimensional stickers that my friend Lydia sent me. Here are pics of my mini album. :-)

Christmas Spirit

Welcome to another fun My Sheri Crafts challenge! We are feeling the Christmas Spirit in our blog! Design Sister Sandy requests for us to make a vintage-inspired card or project. I have been busy making some pretties for my online swaps and here they are! I am not done with my Christmas crafting yet, so there's more to come. I made some folders using paper from Tone Finager and Graphic 45, and filled up the pockets and mini envelopes with die cuts from Tim Holtz and Die-namics, and some tags and clothespins from Target and Marshalls. The stamped images that I colored with Copics are from Close To My Heart, Magnolia and Sara Kay Designs.

I also made some handmade Project Life cards for Christmas, using paper from Craft Smith. The die cut tree is from Cheery Lynn Dies. The wooden embellishments are from Paperchase and I got the washi tape and gold polka dot mini kraft banner from Hobby Lobby. The Red and Silver Shimmer Trims are from Close To My Heart.

Another project that I made are some tags using Tim Holtz Sizzix dies, stencils, Distress Sprays and designer paper. The wooden embellishments are from Paperchase.

I also made a pouch and a mini envelope filled with die cuts and wood embellishments for the swap hostess.

Lastly, here's a pocket letter that I made using paper from Craft Smith and Close To My Heart. I colored "Jill" the Prima paperdoll with Copic markers. I added some die cuts from Sizzix, burlap flowers and confetti from Hobby Lobby, and Paperchase wooden embellishments.

We would love to have you join our Christmas challenge at My Sheri Crafts!

A Vintage Cupid Postcard

I still have some Graphic 45 paper leftover from last year's Springtime Collection, so I made a postcard using a Cupid image from one of the pages. The background paper is from Prima, distressed using Cranberry Pigment Ink from Close To My Heart. I added a doily that I cut using a Cheery Lynn die. The mini roses are from Prima, the large red flower is from Recollection. I added some Crystals Clear Flourishes-Small from Close To My Heart. The stickpin was a swap item from my friend Tammy.

I am entering this postcard to the following blog challenges: Creative Card Crew: Shabby Chic

Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments Card Fronts

I used the Top Note die from Sizzix to make the card front, and Tim Holtz Rosette die for the rosettes which I topped with Prima mini roses.  I made some stick pins in coordinating colors to add some interest to the otherwise simple card fronts.

Graphic Sweet Sentiments Spring Cards

I made a set of spring cards for a swap at the Cricut message board, using Graphic 45's Sweet Sentiments paper pack.  I made background frames using Spellbinders, accessorized with Stickles, silk and paper flowers and some crystals for the flower centers.  I did some fussy cutting for these cards that are quite easy to replicate. :-)
