A Season of Thanks

Where did time go? We are celebrating an early Thanksgiving at My Sheri Crafts. There is so much to be grateful in life, despite life's challenges. I look back through the years and I feel blessed, surrounded by the people that I love.

I made a two-page layout using Pathfinding paper packet from Close To My Heart. The format is from Reflections Scrapbook Program. I added some Pathfinding Complements, and Sequins Gold Assortment for sparkle. The turkey was cut from the Artiste Cartridge using Scaredy Cat paper packet! at 2 1/2".

We would link to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving at My Sheri Crafts and hope you can join our challenge.

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #107

Here is this week's inspirational colors at Color My Heart Color Dare Blog Challenge:

Now this color combination posed a bit of a challenge for me, and then...a lightbulb lit up! I love Christmas, so why not make an early Christmas card? The tree is from the Christmas Cricut Cartridge cut at 4". The border was cut at 1" using the Art Philosophy cartridge. The Olive Cardstock used for the tree is from Close To My Heart and the plum border is from DCWV. I added Gold Polka-Dot Washi Tape and Gold Shimmer Trim to balance the design of the card. I also randomly outlined the tree and the border with gold ink, and to decorate the tree, I colored some Sparkles Clear Assortment with alcohol markers to match the border, and applied gold paint to the White Enamel Star which served as my tree topper.

Display Banners

A couple of things crafters like to do are: dream and create.  I made these banners to display at my craft shows.  I cut the pennants at 5 1/2" using the Pretty Pennants Cricut cartridge.  The papers used are from Close To My Heart-- Kraft cardstock, Ivy Lane, and Balloon Ride.  The fonts were cut at 2 1/4" using the Story Book Cricut cartridge.  I used Hollyhock and Chocolate cardstock for the letters.  The frames, that were cut using Spellbinders dies were embossed with Quatrefoil and Damask embossing folders.  I inked the Champagne cardstock.  The scalloped frames were also cut from Chocolate cardstock.  I added some faux pearls and added tulle to connect all the pennants together.
