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.

My Sheri Crafts and Smores

The momth of August is National Smores  month and so the challenge this week at My Sheri Crafts is to make a project that includes chocolate and or marshmallows.


This card is made using the Sweet Treats cartridge.  I just love this little cupcake tower.  I added some glitter glue to the icing.  The cupcake border was made with an EK Success border punch.  And I added a little brown polka dot ribbon for some texture.  


I found this stamp in a fiskars set and thought it would be perfect for the card.  I added three little gems to complete the inside of the card.  

Please join us this week in a celebration of smores at My Sheri Crafts.

Back To School at My Sheri Crafts

It is time for a new challenge at My Sheri Crafts.  And it is all about Back To School.  Now I must admit that this is my least favorite subjuct because I am a teacher of 35+ years and I am know ready to go back to school.  I want my summer to be a little longer.  But I have faced reality and have been working in my classroom for the past two days.

With that being said, I had a difficult time making a project for this challenge.  But now that it is complete, I really like what I did.


The fun papers I used are from We R Memory Keepers.  And The solid papers are from my scraps.  The little schoolhouse and desk are cuts from the Heritage cartridge.  They are inked in brown.  The sentimemt is from a Fiskars Memory stamp set.  I use a little green paper ribbon for some texture and then completed the card with two little red buttons.

Please join us this week with your Back To School project.  Just head on over to My Sheri Crafts and add your project there.  While you are there, check out all the cute projects from our design team.

Lets Take a Trip

Here we are in the middle of summer and that means it is time to travel.  So the challenge this week at My Sheri Crafts is Lets Take a Trip.  We are making projects that are about travel.  Well, summertime means beach time so I made a very beachy card.


I used the Doodlecharms cartridge to cut the sun.  The waves were cut from Paper Dolls Everyday.  And the flip flops were cut from Life's a Beach.  I embellished the flip flops were some blingy flowers. The papers I used are from Bo Bunny, Recollections and DCWV.  

I just thought this was the perfect stamp for the card.  It is from Joy's Life Pun in the Sun stampset.  Come join the design team at My Sheri Crafts for this fun challenge.  And I hope you all have safe travels this summer!!

What's the BUZZ?

What a fun challenge we have at My Sheri Crafts  The "Whats the BUZZ" is all about summer using black, white and yellow!!  Well, I must admit it took me a while to come up with an idea that I really liked.  But, when I finally had in mind what to do, I loved it!!


I began with the Sentimentals Cricut cartridge to cut the Beehive.  I used K&Co paper for it.  The bee and honeycomb shapes were cut from the Cricut Garden Soup cartridge.  I used K&Co and DCWV papers for these cuts.  Everything was inked with gold and bronze ink.  I added the pretty dotted ribbon and bow for some texture and then completed the fromt of the card with the Thank You stamp from Inkadinkadoo.  


This is the inside of the card.  I used the Garden Soup cartridge again for the honeycomb shapes.  The U R were cut from George and Basic Shapes.  I inked the honeycomb with gold and bronze.  And then I went to the Just Because cartridge to cut the "Sweet as Honey" sentiment and honey jar.  All paper for the inside of the card came from DCWV and K&Co.  It too was inked with gold and bronze ink.  

I hope you will join us at My Sheri Crafts for this fun challenge.  And while you are there please check out the beautiful projects from our design team.  They are wonderful!!!
