My Sheri CRAFTS - Challenge #83 Monograms

Wow! All those fabulous birthday projects were great and I have some great ideas for upcoming birthdays. The challenge this time at My Sheri Crafts is all about monograms and we would love to see how you incorporate those into your projects. I decided to do something a little different and make a picture frame out of an acrylic card. I used my Art Philosphy cart and cut the frames at 4" and 3 3/4". I also had some hearts left over from a previous project so I added a little bling and attached to the frame edge. My momogram is computer generated using word and the font is parchment at 200 that I printed on design paper. I also added a little bling to the monogram. The papers are from Roxy Level 2. All papers and bellies are CTMH. Hope you enjoy this idea. 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! The DT loves to give love to all our participants, so please help us by turning off word verification.

Hey fellow crafters. Here's my first project for challenge #3 at CCCB. Our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is Meljen's Designs. One lucky winner will get four (non-colored) images of their choice from Meljen's store. The challenge is Spring with pastel colors. I used Spring Growth Word Art and colored with my Copics. I double mounted and added some baby bling. I used two design papers and colored a ribbon slide and ribbon to match with my Copics. I added a little bling to the ribbon slide to tie it in and called it good. All products are CTMH. Remember, this challenge lasts for a month so there's plenty of time to enter.

The challenge this week at Kaboodle Doodles is to create a project that celebrates new life...flowers blooming, new babies (human and otherwise), and other signs of new life.

Now head on over and get some inspiration from my fellow DT members.

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.

2nd Liebster Award

Wow! Two Liebster awards in one week. Julie over at Julies Crafty Creations nominated me for the Liebster Award. Thanks, Julie! It would be worth your time to hop on over to her blog and check out her creations.

Liebster means "favourite" in German, and the award is given by peers to fellow bloggers who have been able to inspire despite their small following. Once accepted, an award recipient must "pay it forward" by completing the following steps:
1. Post the award to your blog.
2. Link back to the person's blog who gave it to you and thank them.
3. Give the award to five bloggers with less than 200 followers that you appreciate and value.
4. Leave a comment on the five blogs you chose to let them know that they have been given the Liebster award.

Here are five blogs that I feel deserve to receive the Liebster Award:
Josephine at Josephine's Rainbow
