LO of My Shadow

Over at CookingWithCricut there is a

Challenge going on--

The challenge is to create anything with a shadow

I created a One-Page LO

My Shar-pei Moto Cross or Moto as we call him

(DH use to ride motocross)

I heat embossed a round stamp around the journaling circle and added a mini brad from Basic Grey.
All Cardstock is American Crafts and all Pattern paper is from the DCWV Pet Stack.
I stitched around in several areas.
For my banner I cut the bones from the Heritage Cricut cartridge.  The newspapers are strips of my Sunday newspaper cut at 1" and hand rolled.
Can you tell I am a Lakers fun!?
I used Gypsy Font with it's shadow welded together at 1.5" each. Letters cut twice.

I used dimensional foam dots for all bones and to give the title dimension.
He does follow me everywhere and does spend most of his time with me.  He protects me
and scraps with me!! LOL   --here you can see him by my side/feet while I am in my
Studio -- I have to be careful or I'll trip over him.

Gaby Abby Challenges with SEI Week 3

Welcome to another Gaby Abby Challenges sponsored by SEI

This week the Challenge is Monsters!!
create anything with a monster, cute and scary monsters welcomed!

I created this treat bag with a white lunch bag.

Used just a regular white lunch bag

purchased at Walmart for around $2 a pack of 50

Cut bag at 5 3/4" h

Cut DCWV black card stock at 5 1/2" w x 6" h

(bag is 5 1/4" w)

You can cut any measurement that you like and go from there.
[for the back of the bag I only used the black card stock, I did not decorate- your choice!]

Cut Core'dinations meadow (green) card stock at 5 1/4" w x 5 3/4" h

Cut SEI Monsterville Susie Street 8-4705  at 5" w x 5 1/2"

double sided- and used stripes side

I than sew the SEI Monsterville Susie Street 8-4705 card stock to the black

card stock using my new Janome Mini

(NOTE: I have not used a sewing machine in 20 years-- I still have my Singer, the one I used to sew baby clothes for my now 29 year old daughter!- I got into grad school, crocheting and cross stitching!-- so with no practice at all I was able to thread it and start sewing!  BIG mistake!!  -- you can see that my stitches are two tight and crooked!! I should have practiced!!!!)

To decorate I cut a strip of 1 1/2" h strip of black card stock, the meadow card stock cut at 1 1/4" h and the SEI Monsterville Susie Street 8-4705 dots side at 1" h and sew together

Do not judge me by my sewing!!! lol

A bit of story......

I grew up seeing my mom love her garden flowers (she had a green thumb).

I also remember her huge custom made bird cage/house. We had tons of Parakeets.

We use to called them Love Birds.

She use to sing to them and with them and she was a singer in her youth.

And she loved, loved to collect elephants, hence the flowers, birds, music note paper
