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!

Land Of The Free

Hi everyone! It's my turn to host our challenge at My Sheri Crafts! We are celebrating America's birthday, so our theme is red, white and blue! I wanted to make a banner with a positive image reminder. :-D I used paper from Close To My Heart and Julie Nutting's Paper Dolls and Summer Collections. I used my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to make the pennants. The top layer was cut at 8" and the base at 9". The accent piece at the top of the banner was cut at 8". I added some paper doll die cuts from Julie Nutting. They were so much fun to dress up! :-D To embellish the pennants, I added some stickers from the Reset Girl, Julie Nutting's Paper Dolls Collections, some Enamel Hearts from CTMH, Prima flowers and leaves and ribbon from Recollections. I wanted to keep on adding embellishments but decided I wanted a cleaner look. :-)

Tags, Tags and More Tags!

It's design team sister Raquel's turn to host our challenge at My Sheri Crafts. We were being asked to make tags. It has been a while since I made a shadowbox tag, so I made one. I colored a Julie Nutting wooden doll with Copic markers. I used the chipboard packaging it came with to make my shadowbox. I covered the shadowbox with paper from Athentique, and added some K&Co embellishments. I also stamped the sentiment with a Julie Nutting stamp. The aqua-colored sequins are from CTMH and the mermaid's necklace is from Julie Nutting for Prima. I lined the sides on the shadowbox tag with washi tape from Recollections.

Tag...you're it! It's your turn to make tags and share them with us at My Sheri Crafts!

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. :-)

Feelin' Fussy

We are fussy-cuttin' in our biweekly challenge at My Sheri Crafts! I made a couple of pocket letters using Gorjuss Girls Stamps and a Prima Doll stamp, all stamped and colored with Copic markers, and of course, fussy-cut.

The first pocket letter features bright, vibrant colors and positive sayings. I don't usually mix these colors, but Pebbles had the perfect paper pad that I wanted to feature. :-) I even fussy cut some of the words so I could use them as accent pieces.

My second pocket letter combines Valentine paper from Bo Bunny and Prima Marketing. I decorated both front and back of the pocket letter and used embellishments from Recollections, Martha Stewart, and from the bargain bin at Michael's. The Red Enamel Hearts are from Close To My Heart. I fussy cut some elements from the paper pad and layered them.

Prima's Jack 'n Jill/Basic Grey Birthday Card

In celebration of America's Birthday, Sarah from our DT gave us the challenge to make birthday cards.  The stamped image of the two kids are from Prima's Jack and Jill collection, colored with Copic markers.  I added Stickles on the confetti since I am a big believer of sparkly confetti. :-)  The paper is from Basic Grey's Cupcake line.  I added a Prima flower, a coordinating stick pin, yellow and orange Baker's twine, Basic Grey buttons, Liquid Pearls and a frame cut using Spellbinders to finish off this card.
