AD COLOR CHALLENGE # 64

I had one more card to make today for the "Ad Challenge" and sketch #3 of "RAQ's Card Challenge".  Here are the color and sketch challenges.........

I used a bird from Cricut cartridge "Straight From The Nest" instead of a flower and embossed with Cuttlebug folder "Diamonds In The Rough".  I was going to put a sentiment on it but couldn't decide on one so I left it blank for now?!  TFL!  Here it is.........

JustRite Friday Challenge #24 - Sketch

This week at JustRite Inspiration the challenge is to use the following sketch with an Americana theme. 

Here is the sketch........

and here is my Americana card..........

I used a center from JB-09710 Beautiful Blossoms and Spellbinders for the ovals and deckled rectangle.

I am really enjoying experimenting with the COPICs!  This is my fifth card using them and I think I'm getting the hang of it!?  I would still like to take some sort of class though??  I'm sure there are some tricks I need to learn????  Thanks for looking!

Jitterbuggin Sketch #6 Challenge

I missed last week's sketch so I was going to make it a point to do this week's challenge!?  There are a few "Patriotic" or "Red, White & Blue" challenges going on this week so I thought I would share my rendition of this great sketch over at Jitterbuggin'......
Here is the sketch.........

And here is my card..........

I used Cricut Solutions Cartridge "Independence Day" for the firecracker and "JustRite Stamps" for the sentiment, a little ribbon and some buttons accented with scrap stars and "Glossy Accents" and there you have it!  This was a lot of fun!  Thanks for looking!

JustRite Friday Challenge 023: Bookmark It!

This week on the JustRite Inspiration Friday Challenge, we were asked to make a bookmark using JustRite Stampers.  I made a bookmark for my DAD.  (He reads a lot!)  It was a pretty simple design because he doesn't like anything too over-the-top!? 

I used JB-07300 "From The Library Of " for the border and JB-08060 "Times New Roman Font" for the monogram and then I heat embossed them both. 

I glued magnets on the backs of 2 glossy paper circles and put the ribbon in between to hold the bookmark securely in place.  ~ Here's the 2nd magnet on the back side......

I really like this set of borders and thought it went well with this week's challenge!  TFL!

ALTERED ITEM - MY SHERI CRAFTS CHALLENGE #10

This week on my other site is an "ALTERED ITEMS" challenge.  I made a couple things with my cricut and vinyl recently that I thought would fit in great for this challenge.

The first is a DOG TREAT JAR.......

My puppie's favorite!  Images from "Paper Pups" cartridge.

Next is a SIGN I did by request for a friend..............

The sign I got from Hobby Lobby and it was already those colors and all I had to do was add the lettering!

Last, but not least, I did a TILE for my Aunt & Uncle's 45th anniversary..........

the border is from my new Cricut Lite cart "Lacey Labels" and the "P" is from Gypsy font.  The tile is 6x6.

Jitterbuggin Sketch #4 Challenge

I made this card for the Jitterbuggin Challenge this week for "Bloom Where You Are Planted".  Here is the sketch...........

and here is my card using the colors from the "Ad Color Challenge #63".........

I cut the main flower from my Cricut Serenade Cartridge and the excess cut-outs to embellish my JustRite stamped sentiment from my Tiny Words set.  I really like the colors in this card and thought the sentiment said it all!

JustRite Friday Challenge #22

This week on the JustRite Inspiration blog we were asked to use our JustRite stamps to share our favorite Summertime recipes and share the actual recipe too!  I made my first criss cross card with the recipe card inside.  The recipe is something fairly new that my husband can't get enough of.  It's so simple to make and one that I use to make that special meal to take to someone in need.  I hope you enjoy!!

I used 15 pt. font for the "CHICKEN", a border from Big Occasions 1-5/8", and a center from Tiny Words 1-3/16".

AD COLOR CHALLENGE # 62

I did this for the challenge posted by Carolyn over on the cricut.com "Consider A Challenge" messageboard.  Here are the colors for this week's challenge......

And here is my card........

I used DCWV paper (which I colored with some tan here and there to go with my stamped image) for the background, Martha Stewart lattice wide punch on both sides, embossed down the center with a Cuttlebug accent, JustRite's 3 1/4" flower and border stamped with Archival coffee ink, Nestabilities for the circle and colored with COPICs.

Father's Day Card

There are so many challenges recently for masculine and Father's Day cards so I thought I'd better get busy with somethin'!? This is the first time using the heat embossing technique. It took me a couple of tries to get it where I thought it was "pass-able"?? My dad is very classic so I tried not to over-embellish his card. I think it turned out classy just like him! I used my JustRite oval stamp for the border with a few letters from the Times New Roman set to create the center.

I'm so excited that I received "Honorable Mention" in this week's JustRite Friday Challenge with this card!  I love JustRite Stampers and this is a perfect way to get me to use some of those stamps I wouldn't normally think to use!  I love how versatile they are!  Check out the whole line of JustRite Stamps at myshericrafts.com!

GRADUATION

My baby's all grown up! *sniff sniff * Well 2 down and 2 to go!? I wanted to share the graduation card I did for my oldest son. I'm also entering it over at JustRite Friday Challenge for masculine cards. I really love how this turned out! The paper is DCWV and the scroll is cricut EDPD (I think)??

GO BANANAS!

This card is a triple threat! It's a part of at least 3 challenges this week! I used JustRite stamps for the monkey and the vertical sentiments then colored with copics.

The first challenge is at MY SHERI CRAFTS (of course) for the "birthday" challenge.

The second is on RAQ's Card Challenge for this sketch 2....
and last but not least is at Jitterbuggin' where the challenge is to do a monkey and use 3 patterns of paper.
Here's what I came up with........

MY SHERI CRAFTS FLOWERS CHALLENGE

I made this card for the flower challenge on MY SHERI CRAFTS (my other blog) and also got the color inspiration from the AD CHALLENGE on the cricut messageboard! Here are the colors for the add challenge... and here is my cards..........
I didn't have just the right colored paper so I cheated a bit?!? The background paper actually had red where the purple squares are and I cut them ou like windows for the purple border to show through!! lol
