The Olympics

The Summer Olympics will start next weekend in Rio.  To celebrate this event, Design Team Sister, Sarah, had asked us to create any project with a sports theme.  Join us to help support the Olympics over at My Sheri Crafts

For this theme, I wanted to showcase my son's first ever race.  This was a casual race just for kids at Walt Disney World in January 2016.  It was only 1 mile long and without practice and running through mud (since it had just finish raining), he did it in less than 10 minutes.

He was so HAPPY to get his medal!

This is a 2-page scrapbook layout.  They are each 8" x 8" layout pages.  I started an album to store all of our race bibs... and this was the first one I actually made into a layout

• Layout size: 8" x 8"
• Papers from DCWV
• "my first race" was designed in SCAL and cut with the Cricut
• "I DID IT!" was designed in SCAL and cut with the Cricut
• "Running Mickey" was an image I printed out from the internet
• Journaling was printed out using Word Document

Thanks for looking!

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

Fall / Thanksgiving

Design Team sister, Sandy, has asked us to make any project that is Fall / Thanksgiving related for this week's theme for My Sheri Crafts.  I decided to make a Thanksgiving layout to use for this year.  My family and I are going on a Thanksgiving cruise... we have always wanted to experience a major holiday on a cruise.  I will add a 5" x 7" picture once we get back and write in the journal

The papers are from Close to My Heart.  I made the "thankful" using SCAL.  The large branch is from Cricut cartridge: Home Decor and the leaves are from Cricut cartridge: Basic Shapes.  I used a white gel pen for the tiny dots on "thankful"


Thanks for looking!

My Sheri Crafts #95

It's Picking Time!

This week's challenge over at My Sheri Crafts is to create a project with either a pumpkin or an apple.  I couldn't decide what to use so I used both.  The school my youngest daughter attended in pre-kindergarten, had pictures taken of the students during the fall, winter, and spring.   I got lucky with this theme... she had pictures taken with a pumpkin and an apple during their fall session so I decided to make two layouts

I used the same layout pattern for both since I really wasn't sure which of them I was going to turn in but decided in the end to use both

Your turn!  Come join us over at  My Sheri Crafts and show off your pumpkin or apple project!


The coordinating papers are from Close to My Heart.  The stitches are hand sewn with DMC floss.  The "cutest pumpkin" was made from SCAL.  Both sentiments for each layout was covered with liquid glass to make it shiny and to strengthen the cuts.  The flourishes next to each picture was covered with Perfect Pearls pigment powder to make them shiny.  Lots of inking! 

Supplies used:

• Cricut Design Studio
• Sure Cuts A Lot
• Papers - Close to My Heart
• ek success - border punch
• flowers from the dollar bins at Michael's
• Cricut cartridges:
• A Child's Year - apple
• Home Decor - flourish in layout 2
