My Sheri Crafts Digi Challenge

Hello and welcome back for the first  challenge of 2014 from My Sheri Crafts.  We have so many great challenges lined up for you this year.  You will not want to miss any of them.  Our design team is excited and ready to share new projects.  This week our challenge is hosted by our team leader, the ever so talented, Sheri, and she has chosen the theme, Delightful Digis.  I went to the Free Digital Stamps blog to find my digi.  This is a great resource.  Each day new sites are posted that are offering free digs.

I just loved this little Pennsylvania Dutch design.  It reminds me of some cross stitching I did as a child.  And later on I made a pillow of a design similar to this doing crewel work when I was in college many years ago.  Sounds like I'm living in the past doesn't it!  I decided to color the design using these little Twinkling H2O's paints.  It is hard to tell in the photo, but they are so bright and pretty and have the most amazing shimmer to them.  You can find them at Amazon.  

I used two different cut and embossed Spellbinder mats to layer the image.  The papers are from DCWV and K&Co.  I inked the edges of the mats with a little gold and bronze. I cut a little Fluer Di Lis border with a Spellbinders die for the bottom of the card and then added a gemmed pink butterfly border from Micheal's to the top.  I used some gold and green crinkled ribbon to compliment the colors of the card.  The little "To Cheer You" sentiment is a stamp from Just Rite Stampers.  

Please come and join us this week for our first challenge of the new year!  And i hope that 2014 will bring you much happiness, good health and peace.

Tea For Two

Hello and Happy New Year!!  I'm just delighted to be here with you.  Wow! has it been cold the last few days!!  I'm in Central AL and the tempreture at this very moment is 7degrees.  I don't even want to think about the wind chill.  One of my favorite things to do on days like this is stay inside, visit with a good friend, and enjoy a hot cup of tea.

I have a card to share with you today.  This sweet little card is 6.5 X 5 and is made with paper from DCWV.  I got the adorable little Tea For Two digital stamp from Paper Crafting World where you will find some of the cutest digital stamps and cut files!!  I added some white vintage lace with aping ribbon and bow.  And to complete the card I added a couple little buttons and the sweet little tag.  And here is the sentiment I have on the inside of the card.

Now, how is that for an invitation for a cup of hot tea and good company!  Stay warm and bundle up if you have to go outside.  The weather is surely frightful.
I am just so glad you came by for a visit.  {lease come by often and join in the fun of using the delightful digital stamps and cut files from Paper Crafting World.

So Beary Thankful!

Hi!  So happy you dropped by for a visit.  I am sharing a Thanksgiving card with you that I made for a dear friend at work.

I began my card with this adorable digi from Paper Crafting World.  I love the little pilgrim bearhugging the turkey.  The sentiment was created on the computer.  And the cute patterned Thanksgiving paper is from my stash.  I addedpretty satin ribbon to the card for some texture.  

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy spending time with those you love.

Wishing You Harvest Blessings

 I am so delighted to be here on this beautiful fall day.  And I want to wish you beautiful Harvest Blessings.  Here is a sweet card I made using on of Melin's adorable digis.  You can find all of her fabulous cut files and digital stamps HERE

Don't you just love this sweet little fella pushing his cart of pumpkins.  I used papers from a fall pack that I got last year at JoAnn's.  I added some raffia and a pretty plaid bow to the card.  And to complete the embellishment, I added three little buttons.    I hope you are all having a great day and counting your blessings.  

Remember to go HERE and check out all of Melin's wonderful goodies.  And may you have beautiful Harvest Blessings.

Hello! So glad you dropped by today. Today I posted this card over at Paper Crafting World.    It is October and that means it is time for pumpkins,pumpkins, pumpkins.  And pumpkins are getting carved in so many ways.  I just love seeing all the creative ways people carve pumpkins.  It is a work of art.

Here I have a card to share with you featuring an adorable little fella sitting on top of a giant pumpkin.  They sure seem to be having a fun time during this happy season.  You can find this cute digi at Paper Crafting World along with so many other adorable digis and cutting files for this season.

To complete the card I added apretty little fall ribbon and la couple of leaves.  The leaves I found at Hobby Lobby.  I love that they are clear plastic.  The cute little sentiment is from an Oriental Trading stamp set.  

Enjoy this beautiful month and have fun carving your pumpkin.

Nighttime at My Sheri Crafts

Well, fall is here and that means the days are shorter and the night is longer.  So we are having a challenge this week at My Sheri Crafts all about the night.  There are so many wonderful things about night.  But this month, my mind goes to Halloween.  I love Halloween because all my birthday cakes were Halloween cakes.  You see, my birthday is the day before Halloween.  I also am a kindergarten teacher and we love making fall and Halloween projects in our classroom.  Today, I have a simple little Halloween card for you.

Who doesn't like a happy black cat withg green gemed eyes in the moonlight!!  This little cat is adorned with a cute ribbon on his tail.  His neck is just a wee bit too skinny for a collar or ribbon.  The moon has some silver flourish and is inked in black.  The gems at the top of the card help give this nighttime card more light.  And the sentiment stamp is a favorite from Oriental Trading.

Please join us this week at My Sheri Crafts for this nighttime challenge.

Its Apple Time

Hi!!  I'm just thrilled to be here with you today!!!  This week children throughout America are learning all about apples and celebrating the birthday of one of America's greatest legends, Johnny Appleseed.  Yes, September 26th is Johnny Appleseed!!!  As a kindergarten teacher of 30+ years, I have come to learn a lot of facts about apples and have cooked them in many ways.  And one of my favorite ways to eat apples is with carmel!

When I discovered this adorable image of Melin's, bear with a carmel apple, at My Paper Crafting I just had to make a card with it.  Isn't it as cute as can be!!

This is an A2 card with a Kraft base. I used a Spellbinders scalloped rectangle die to cut out the image.  It is inked with lime and bronze Colorbox stamps.  The papers are from K&Co.  I added a little brown a dn white polka dotted ribbon and some sparkly leaf stickers for a little glam.  The sentiment is from Joy's Life "Its All Fall Pun" stamp set.  

Now, go celebrate Jonny Appleseed and eat an apple, preferaby with carmel!!  You can find this fun image and many more at Melin's Paper Crafting World, and there are many more wonderful projects at the PCW Blog HERE   Thank you for stopping by today. Come back and visit often.
