My Sheri CRAFTS - Challenge #82 Happy Birthday

It's an exciting time at MY SHERI CRAFTS. She is turning TWO on April 1st!! No, It's no joke - LOL! I hope you have enjoyed ALL the inspiration shared with you these past two years. Thank you to all of our avid challenge participants for taking time to join us week after week!!! In honor of our birthday celebration, we would like you to create a child's birthday card/project using a colorful theme for a child under the age of 5!
I decided I would make a banner that could be hung up for the birthday party and then moved to the little princess' bedroom when the party decorations came down. This banner was super easy to make. I used a CTMH My Creations Mini Banner, Lucy Level 2 paper pack, colonial white crocheted ribbon and some Just Bloom Paper Shapes and of course, some bling. I cut the banners and the toppers with my Art Philosphy Cricut cart at 4 inches and then glued on with Mod Podge. I used Dimensional Elements Notables Alphabet colored with R85 Copic marker for the letters and adhered with glue dots. All papers and bellies are CTMH. Hope you enjoy this little cutie. I think my niece is going to love this hanging in her room. So jump on over to My Sheri Crafts and check out what the Design Team has created, wish Sheri a Happy Birthday and submit your project. You could be our next guest designer! The DT loves to give love to all our participants, so please help us by turning off word verification.

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge #76

For the challenge this time at Penny's Paper-Crafty we want to see your "EASTER" stuff. What ever it is you may be making, as long as it's for Easter then we want to see it!! This time we have not one, not two, but three wonderful sponsors. One lucky random person will win a $10 gift certificate from Digi My World. One lucky random person will win one month free to the Digital Stamp Club or 3 images of their choice from DigiDarla and one lucky random person will win digis of their choice from Limited Runs Digi's. I used this interesting little digi from Limited Runs called

Bunny Hole. I wasn't sure what to do with him at first and then I thought he would look super cute on a clear, round card. I colored him with my Copics and then I used my faithful Art Philosphy Cricut cart for all the paper. I added the cute saying from one of my many stamp sets and called it good. The card and all papers are CTMH. Now head on over to get some inspiration from my fellow DT members and make sure to give them some "love" while you're there. Happy crafting!!

Hey fellow crafters. Here's my second project for the challenge at CCCB. This month's challenge is sponsored by Digital Delights by Louby Loo. The winner will get $10 to spend in the store. The challenge is to use ribbon and/or lace on your project. I used Cupcake Timmy and colored him with my Copics. I added a little Clear Star Gelly Roll to the candle, flame and the cupcake wrapper. I double mounted him and then placed him on some fun paper. I added a little faux stitching to the image and a dimensional element #1 that I colored with my Copics as well. Added a little ribbon and called it a wrap.All products are CTMH except the ribbon which came from my stash. Remember, this challenge lasts for a month so there's still time to enter.

My Sheri CRAFTS - Challenge #81 Spring Pastels

According to the calendar Spring won't be here until next month. I don't know where you live, but here in Missouri we've had 80 degree weather all week. It was really easy to come up with a card for this challenge. We would love for you to create an Easter card or project using the gorgeous pastel colors of Spring!

Now, I have a bit of trouble using pastel colors so I tried several different color combinations on my card before I was happy. I also used several different embossing folders, but it was easy for me to pick the image I wanted to use. I just love this image from The Stamping Boutique "Boy Rabbit in Egg." I colored the image with my Copics and then triple mounted. I think adding the black helped. I used some white baker's twine and colored it with the same markers I used on my image and added a little bling. All papers and bellies are CTMH. Hope you enjoy this little cutie. So jump on over to My Sheri Crafts and check out what the Design Team has created and submit your project. You could be our next guest designer!

My Sheri CRAFTS - Challenge #80 Easel Card & Add a Shamrock

St. Patty's Day is just around the corner and everyone becomes just a little bit Irish. Challenge #80 at My Sheri Crafts is a fun easel card and we want to see a shamrock or two on your project. For my card, I used a cute image from The Stamping Boutique called "Luck of the Irish." I colored the image with my Copics and used my Gelly Roll Metallic to add some pop to the gold coins and used my Gelly Roll Clear Star on the horseshoe. All papers are CTMH and the sentiment comes from one of many stamp sets. Hope you enjoy. So jump on over to My Sheri Crafts and check out what the Design Team has created and submit your project.

One lucky random person will win 4 images from Kenny K Downloads and another will win $10 to spend at Stamp Fairy. I used Lenny Fruits from Stamp Fairy. I was a little concerned about how to make this little cutie look funky like the photo. Then I remembered one of my favorite distressing techniques. I colored Lenny with my Copics and then used reinker and a glue brush to distress all the papers. All papers and embellishments are CTMH.
