At The Pumpkin Patch

Our requirement for this biweekly challenge sponsored by Marge was to create a card/project using fall colors.  We took the baby to the pumpkin patch at Mother Nature's Farm last year to pick his pumpkin and we might do it again this year. 
The main background and the 10x10" insert are from Basic Grey's Curio paper pack. I fussy cut the pumpkins and the scarecrow from a Halloween designer paper from Reminisce for my embellishments.  The paper lace, postage stamp and label are stickers from the Curio paper pack.  I added Stickles for sparkle.

A Card Inspired by Chocolate

Raquel from our DT at My Sheri Crafts came up with this delicious challenge in celebration of National S'mores Day.  I used the equally yummy Sweet Stack from DCWV for this card.  The cupcake was cut at 2 1/2" using the Sweet Treats Cricut Cartridge.  I added Liquid Pearls along the scalloped frame, the chocolate layer of the cupcake and the punched border. Stickles were added on the heart topper.  The frames were cut using Spellbinders dies. I added Baker's twine and chocolate brown borders punched using a Martha Stewart punch on the accent panel.  I also used the matching Martha Stewart punch for the corners of the card.

Back to School With My Sheri Crafts

This another project for Kenzo Gunner's future teacher.  :-)  Glenda is hosting for this week, and she came up with our challenge theme: "Back to School", and we are to feature a bus or a schoolhouse.  I used paper from Prima for the background.  The schoolhouse was cut at 2 1/2" using the Heritage Cricut cartridge.  I cut a label using a Sizzix die and placed a Tim Holtz inside it.  I added leaf flourishes cut using Cheery Lynn dies, roses from Kaisercraft, and frames for the schoolhouse, cut using Spellbinders dies. I added faux pearls on the scalloped frame using Viva Decor Pearl pen.

Let's Take A Trip!

We took the baby to visit his grand parents in Alabama last year.  This challenge was the perfect opportunity for me to scrap the pictures that I took of him during the car ride.  He got bored and to amuse himself, he decided to bite his toes. lol!

I used a designer paper from Pink Paislee's London Market paper pack for my background.  The inked paper behind the photos is from K&Co.  The font and arrows were cut at 2 1/2" using the Summer Vacation Cricut cartridge.  I added some flowers from Sassafras Lass, a Tim Holtz token as a flower center, a car image from Graphic 45, and a label cut using a Spellbinder's die for journaling.

What's the BUZZ?

This challenge's requirement is to make a summer-themed card or project featuring the colors yellow, black and white.  I was thinking of a bee, but since I am a butterfly/dragonflyholic (it's a new word that I coined) :-) I decided to feature my other favorite winged creature.  I cut the main image at 2 1/2" using the Damask Decor cartridge .  The contrasting polka dot papers used were from GCD studios and DCWV.   It was pretty late at night when I made the card and I noticed the next morning that the "white" was more cream.  I decided to submit it anyway, since I liked the slightly aged look.  :-) I punched the corners using a Martha Stewart punch, added pop dots and Viva Decor faux pearls and... voila!  We have a summer-themed card.

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.

Summer Solstice

Sarah from our DT, required us to feature sunrise/sunset in our summer challenge from My Sheri Crafts.  I had a picture of our little family, taken in Panama City Beach that I thought would be perfect for this challenge.

I used Webster's Pages for the background paper.  The journaling tag that I tucked inside a pocket that I created at the side of the photo is also from Webster's Pages.  The flower doily was cut from the Easter cartridge, at 7 1/2" and the round doily was from Cindy Loo, cut at 5".  I added crystals from Recollections, a Tim Holtz token, flowers from Recollections, Prima and Petalloo to frame the photo.  The stickers that I used were from a swap.  The metal tag is from Making Memories.
