MY SHERI CRAFTS CHALLENGE #17

It's almost that time!? You know...the one where we push those youngsters out the door and "Back to School"! This might be a bittersweet time for some of you not quite ready for your little ones to go to school, but mine are all in high school so I'm ready! lol We hope everyone has had a great summer vacation and the kids are looking forward to the new school year. This is a great chance to get them excited about school and start them off with a great card or school related project! Our design team has done some wonderful projects for you this week and Peachy has even put together a great instructional video on her pencil holder. Be sure to check it out HERE.

Here is my addition for "Back to School" , which totally is inspired by my college aged kids...hope you like it. Bonus is I got to use my newest cart, Forever Young, which I've been eyeing for some time. Papers used here are from Basic Grey's Two Scoops Line, which I got from My Sheri...the sticker letters are also from that pack, and if you'll notice the scalloped circle...well I used the cover page from the paper pack...you know...the one that displays all the papers inside...yeah...that one...lol and cut it up...

Please...if you have a school related project...feel free to hop over to My Sheri and post it so we can all admire your creativity!!!

You Gotta Have Friends...

This weeks theme at My Sheri Crafts...is "Friendship", so I made this 2 page layout of my group of scrapbooking friends out on a shopping excursion for the day. The friends border was designed in SCAL and you can find the file here on my blog in the box.net If you have a friends project you want to share, feel free to post it here

Flying!!!

Dd and I went flying last night with a friend of hers who has his pilots licence...so much fun...just wanted to share some of the cool pics I got of the area where we live

Tennessee Vacation Album

Made this mini chipboard album for the weekly challenge over at My Sheri Crafts...this weeks theme is "Vacations", and who doesn't love a vacation??? Anyhow, this is for friends (who I hope are not seeing this right now...) who we are travelling with in October to Tennessee...I'm planning on filling the book with pics of the 6 of us enjoying our trip together...and giving it as a Christmas present. I designed the title and all inside words with SCAL and you can find the file here on my blog, in the box.net Just scroll down till you find the folder titled Tennessee Words and Title...feel free to use it...the album I got from My Sheri, and is a Basic Grey 5 1/4" chipboard album. Papers are K & Company and complete instructions for assembly can be found here.

Hoo Hoo Hoo...

Cards

Made both of these card for RAQ's card challenge this week...feel like I haven't gotten more than 1 card done each week all summer long...so this felt good. The colors on the sympathy card are also for this weeks Ad Challenge

50 Yr Anniversary Card

Made this card for an upcoming 50th Anniversary on dh's side of the family. The sketch was designed by Raquel (RAQ) Panos...and posted for this weeks challenge on the Cricut mb. Paper is GCD Studios, Zen Collection, and I have a renewed affinity for raffia. It was likely one of the first dimensional embellies I purchased 6 or 7 years ago when this addiction started...and I hadn't used much of it for the last few years, and suddenly I want it on everything...its cheap and really adds a nice touch to projects. Used OA for the 50, BB for the greeting, and G for the circles.

Summer Garden Party Tea Light Covers

Made these for the weekly challenge over at My Sheri Crafts...this week's challenge is "Summer" I love summer...the heat, the pool, the garden, cruising in our 69 convertible...long days, and most of all....NO SNOW!!!!! Ok, back to the challenge...these are so simple to make...1 sheet of 12x12 paper cut into 3 12x4 strips, punched at the top, embossed and then trace around your embossed design with a paper piercer, or a large needle, like I did...glue together and put over a tea light...simple and very elegant in your garden at night for those special get togethers with friends over the summer. If you have a summer project you want to share...feel free to post it here...we'd love to see what you come up with.

Canada Day Card

Made this card for the weekly challenge over at My Sheri Crafts...totally inspired by a gentleman we met while on vacation in Tennessee several years ago. When he found out we were from Canada, he had to tell us this joke, he thought it was hilarious...so I'm passing it on. Check out the weekly challenge and post your creations at My Sheri...there are so many talented ladies who post there.

Garden Art

Made this for my back yard garden. We got the doors free at a yard sale...they came out of an old church, and I knew exactly what I wanted them for. So we stood them up against the block wall that borders our property, and then dh bought a print in a frame, and I altered it...its not up yet, but will be hung on the door

Father's Day Challenge at My Sheri

Made this card for the weekly challenge over at My Sheri Crafts...everything I used in this card is available from My Sheri...from the paper to the Justrite Stamp (which I might add are all on sale at the moment) set used to create the monogram center. Complete instructions and list of supplies is available here. (well, it will be...lol)

Cat Card for a Friend

A friend of mine took in a grey cat and turned out she was pregnant...she recently had 3 kittens and I wanted to make this card for her. Flowers are from JBC, the buggy is from ZB, the grass is a quikutz die, and the words are rub ons. Tfl

Being Sick Stinks!

Made this card for this weeks RAQ Card challenge...I had seen RAQ use this paper pack a number of times, and I wanted it so badly (not at 19.99 though) Yesterday dh took me shopping at HL, and they had all their paper packs 50% off...woo hoo...so I grabbed it. I cut the skunk out and popped him up, the thin strip through the black ovals is actually the edge of the paper and you see in the background...letters are from Zooballoo and arrows from HD...oh...and the inside is stamped "feel better soon"
