Digi Desserts Fridaze (Jan 4)

Frankincense Bush Worship Him

I needed to make a sympathy card (don't really like making these), I needed to make at least one card for the current card sketch challenge, and I also wanted to support a friend that recently made the Design Team for Digi Desserts Fridaze over at Paper Crafting World.  She called me up and said "download the free digis and come join us!"

Here's the card I made for the challenge.  I downloaded the free image but I altered it using Adobe Photoshop because I wanted to use the sympathy stamp I had

Card size: 5.5" x 4.25"

Supplies:
Papers - Close to My Heart
Digi by Paper Crafting World
Copics
Liquid Pearls
Sentiment is a stamp
Spellbinder - scalloped circles and leaves

My Sheri Crafts #101

All Sports!

Welcome to 2013!  We are kicking off the new year with an ALL Sport theme over at My Sheri Crafts to celebrate and recognize the athletes in our lives

For the last couple of years, my hubby has been joining Disney's annual marathons.  He's done the 1/2 marathon for 2 years including last year which was Donald's 15th year anniversary 13.1 miles marathon event.  This year will be Mickey's 20th anniversary for the 26.2 miles marathon event.

 I plan to give him this card when he crosses the finish line... it will be his first FULL marathon run


I decided to use a double step card template to create this card.  I found the image of the marathon runners in the background and printed it out on photo paper.  The silhouette of the runner and the 20th anniversary Mickey logo were also downloaded online.  I cut the silhouette with SCAL.  I used the template I found for the Double side step card from Kimbee's Creations


Now... it's your turn to create something spectacular and join us over at  My Sheri Crafts

Card size: 8.5"  x 5.5

Supplies used:
Papers - Generations
Design Studio
SCAL - "FINISH"
Spellbinder - circle
Stamp - "Congratulations"
Cricut cartridge: Wild Card - "You did it!"

Supplies:
ek success - leaves

These last two sets, were made for my daughter's teachers, so I didn't have to mail these out

Supplies:
Card sizes - 5.5" x 4.25"
Papers - Recollections
Fiskars punch
