Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with laces and ribbons trying to work on shabby chic again. Inspired by the Challenge 177 "Oh Baby!" at The Shabby Tea Room, this is my results for the baby card. I do not need a baby card, but wanting to play along, I chose soft pink dots and floral papers. Those papers are from DCWV Fresh Floral Stack. Papers are slightly distressed and torn! Card measures 5" x 6 1/2" cut from white card stock. White papers are Colorbok and Bazzill.

Cricut Cartridge is Mother's Day 2010. The baby carriage is cut 2.5". Tiny white rick rack is added to the carriage.

Spellbinders - Eyelet Circles. The largest size is used for the white mat. Pink ribbon is used around the mat and for the tiny bow.

Cuttlebug - Swiss Dots used on the eyelet circle mat.

Martha Stewart - Swirling Lace corner punch on the pink dot paper.

Lace, lace heart, and flower are from my stash! Tiny flowers on the wheels are Jolee's Boutique embellishments.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 116 Back to School

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today is the start of a new and fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! It is my turn to choose the theme for the challenge. With the start of a new school year fast approaching for my grandkids, I began thinking of school projects. Challenge 116 is Back to School! Include a school bus or school house! It must be school related!

For my project I chose to make a 12" x 12" scrapbook page! The paper pack is DCWV School Days. The white background sheet was trimmed down 1/4" on each side and layered on the red dot paper. I cut out the middle section of the red dot paper and used that part for the border cuts on the photo area. Just a way of using more of the paper! The sketch is my play with a Page Maps Nov. 2011 sketch.

 

Cricut Cartridges:

Elegant Edges - Page 25 Border on shift cut 2.25" from the solid red paper. Page 47 Border on shift cut 1.25" and the second one cut at .50" from the red dot paper.

Nate's ABC's - Page 22 Bus is cut 1.5"

Other supplies include the yellow Baker's Twine on the photo mat and 3rd grade is a sticker from the stash. I started scrapbooking before Cricut so now I have two drawers of stickers that are being forgotten. Time to use some! 

After the first day of school photo is placed on the photo mat, my grandson will print his name under the photo. A perfect way to preserve his handwriting at that age!

Be sure to visit My Sheri Crafts and see all the pretty projects by the design team and our guest designer. For more details, please visit each individual blog. We appreciate you leaving us blog love!

Now it is your turn to play along with us! We look forward to seeing your school projects. One person will be chosen to be our next guest designer and several Ooh La La awards will be given.

Shabby Chic Flower

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Here I am again trying a shabby chic look for my card! Seldom do I have time to watch You Tube but with a little extra time lately, I entered a search for handmade shabby chic flowers. I was glad to find some wonderful tutorials by Fionna Jennings 664. Her work is gorgeous and I enjoyed watching a few of her videos! After viewing her video Shabby Chic Flower Tutorial - Less is More, I tried my hand at making the flower. Thanks Fionna for sharing your talents! I will be watching more videos!

The lace flower on my card is my take on the tutorial! This is fun and easy to make - just hard for me to choose which laces! I am pleased with the finished shabby flower. Laces, pink pearls, and the ribbon flower in the center were from my stash. I chose to use a pretty floral ribbon from blog candy winnings as my second layer rather than lace as in the tutorial. I need to start looking for pretty laces.

My card measures 5" x 7" cut from white cardstock. The paper is a leftover piece from a previous project. Trying to use all my scraps of the one piece, I hand cut the rose and vine strip off and added it to the lower section of the card. A strip of lace and the Recollections pink butterflies bling were attached on the edge of the strip. I was left with one small piece of paper. I cut that strip off at the scallops and added it at an angle to the top of the paper. Some of the pink pearls were used as accents. I like the results of my paper piecing!

Great way to use all the paper!

Cricut cartridge is Storybook. I cut each of the letters for the word LOVE at 1" from vellum paper.

Paper distressing and inking complete the look!

My Sheri Crafts Ch.115 Let's Take a Trip

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Challenge 115 is "Let's Take a Trip"! Our design team member Charlotte asked us to make a project that has something to do with traveling.

My card is 4" x 5 1/2" cut from white cardstock.

Cricut Cartridge: Pack Your Bags

This cartridge is a good choice for this challenge because it has so many travel images on it. I choose to use the cruise ship on page 24 and it is cut at 2". The phrase is on page 57 and cut at 1". Wanting to give a post card effect, I chose to use the anchor stamp image that is also on page 57.

Cuttlebug folder is Divine Swirls.

Be sure to visit My Sheri Crafts to see the pretty and inspiring projects by our design team and guest designer. For more information on the projects, please visit our individual blogs and leave us a little love!

Now it is your turn to play along with us! Your project must be something to do with traveling. It could be a mode of travel, a destination, reason to travel, etc. Several Ooh La La awards will be given and one person will be chosen to be our next guest designer.

Let's see- I have included red and white, aqua stripe paper mat under the apron, aqua mason jars, and a burlap strip. One string of the burlap is used for the bow on the button. Looking at the pretty kitchen, I was inspired to include a pretty apron. Of course, I had to add the red gingham paper for the rug!
