Christmas

Design Team Sister, Sue wants us to create something with at least 3 dimensional embellishments... and do it in a Christmas theme.  I love this theme because I'm usually a last minute person and this one lets me have enough time to get ready for Christmas!  Come and join us at My Sheri Crafts and show us your project that includes all sorts of fun embellishments.

I decided to go with a tag.  This is actually large enough to hold a gift card in the back.  I do hope it's enough embellishments.

• Paper from Recollection
• Tag is from Cricut cartridge:  Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More  
• "Merry Christmas" is a stamp
• Flourish is from Spellbinders 

 
Thanks for looking!

Travel

Design Team Sister, Glenda came up with our current theme... travel.  Come and join us at My Sheri Crafts and show us your project that features any mode of traveling.

I am completely out of birthday cards so I decided to use this theme to create one for a little boy.  What little boy doesn't like planes, right?

This shaped card is from Cricut Cartridge: Wild Card 2.  I added the sentiment "Happy Birthday" that was printed on the computer using Curlz font.  The windows and windshield part was covered with Liquid Glass from Close to My Heart to add a shiny effect

National Teddy Bear Day

September 9th is National Teddy Bear Day and our awesome leader, Sheri, is asking you to make any project that includes... what else... a Teddy Bear.  Come and join us at My Sheri Crafts and show us your Teddy Bear!

My project for this theme is an altered Planter's Peanuts can.  I save these cans because you can reuse them for so many things.  I've made pencil/pen holders and even coin banks from these as you can see from the links below:

The background paper used to cover the can is a thick cardstock from DCWV Pet stack.  I have a stamp I got from Michael's Crafts that says "one of the secrets of a HAPPY LIFE is continuous SMALL TREATS" that was just a little too big for the can so I printed it on the computer instead

I put a bow on the bear and sadly... used hot glue to stick the little critter on to the can

To complete my project... you got it... filled it up with treats!

Back to School

It's that time of the year again when the kiddos go back to school!  To celebrate this glorious occasion (yes glorious... I call it "my alone time"), I got to choose this challenge theme for My Sheri Crafts.  Come join us and create any project with a school theme!

 

I've always wanted to make one of these crayon / pencil wreaths.  I finally made one for a friend that works at our local elementary school.  At Michael's Crafts, I found this monogram wooden wreath base.  I thought it was the perfect thing to use so that I could personalize it for my friend.  

I covered the "M" using DCWV paper.  The "Ms. Martin" was created using SCAL.  I outlined the mini chalkboard with Stickles.  The school bus and the "READ" are recycled elements from an older project My Sheri Crafts #92 which no longer exists.

Four boxes of Crayola 24-pack crayons was used up for this project.  Can I just say... this is one HEAVY wreath... fragile too!  These crayons break so easily so I hope this wreath doesn't fall down

• Papers from DCWV
• 4 24-pack Crayola crayons
• "Ms. Martin" was designed in SCAL and cut with the Cricut
• Chalkboard bought from Michael's Crafts
• "READ" is from a Cricut cartridge (can't remember which one)
• School bus is from a Cricut cartridge (can't remember which one)

The Olympics

The Summer Olympics will start next weekend in Rio.  To celebrate this event, Design Team Sister, Sarah, had asked us to create any project with a sports theme.  Join us to help support the Olympics over at My Sheri Crafts

For this theme, I wanted to showcase my son's first ever race.  This was a casual race just for kids at Walt Disney World in January 2016.  It was only 1 mile long and without practice and running through mud (since it had just finish raining), he did it in less than 10 minutes.

He was so HAPPY to get his medal!

This is a 2-page scrapbook layout.  They are each 8" x 8" layout pages.  I started an album to store all of our race bibs... and this was the first one I actually made into a layout

• Layout size: 8" x 8"
• Papers from DCWV
• "my first race" was designed in SCAL and cut with the Cricut
• "I DID IT!" was designed in SCAL and cut with the Cricut
• "Running Mickey" was an image I printed out from the internet
• Journaling was printed out using Word Document
