CHA Bound and a Spellbinders Project!

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Sherry Cheever| 11 Comments

When you read this, I’ll be well on my way to CHA . . .

Daisy will be picking me up from the airport and while we wait for the rest of our party to arrive, we’ll be visiting the beaches and walking around Newport (I think).

Hopefully I’ll have some fun photos to share tomorrow and then on Sunday, the first day of CHA, I can finally share some of my projects!

In the meantime, remember the other day when I said the lady from the Graphic 45 Old Curiosity Shoppe had lots of potential . . .

One other thing I want to show you today . . . the new Graphic 45 Staples, Metal Butterflies. I worked up a few samples to include in my demo on Sunday . . .

The one in the top center is the only butterfly in the grouping that was left in the original metal. Do you know what the bottom two were altered with? Same colors too, but they look so different!

Oh woo hoo! I just got clearance to share one of my Spellbinders projects with you! I’ve been waiting all day to hear something and I finally have! I’m so excited!

I had so much fun make the above card! The base was die cut with Grand Rectangles and the flowers were made with Donna Salazar’s new die Spellbinders release, Bitty Blossoms. The frame around the Journey tag is one of Samantha Walker’s new Spellbinders releases, Antique Frames and Accents.

I hope the sneak peeks were worth the wait for you!

I hope you have an excellent day and thanks for stopping by!

My Room of Stash!

Posted on January 25, 2012 by Sherry Cheever| 30 Comments

Yesterday I got this bright idea to take some pictures of my work room. It really is a mess and I can use something, set it down, and then not find it again. I wonder where my tweezers are?

If you look close enough, you might see some CHA projects laying around!

Mr. Stodgy came down for a visit the other night . . . he didn’t have anywhere to sit.

Shipping boxes under the table, the Graphic 45 on the table and a box of new Spellbinders releases.

I keep tripping every time I try to squeeze into the closet . . .

Anyhoo, just thought I would share . . .

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day . . . remember, life is short . . . enjoy the adventures of today!

Me marching to the beat of the little drums in my head!

Friday–It’s Drawing Near!

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Sherry Cheever| 11 Comments

Good morning! I hope y’all had a good day yesterday. I spent the better part of the day in the studio working on more Graphic 45 projects. Friday is going to be here before I know it and things need to get done . . . laundry, packing, last minute shopping, pedicure . . .

I know how y’all feel about sneak peeks, and I have one more for you today. This time it’s for Graphic 45 but I think you’ll see some Spellbinders in there too!

Love this new paper from G45 . . . Olde Curiosity Shoppe. I can already tell you that this collection has fast become a new favorite and see that woman . . . oh the possibilities she has!

That’s all for me today . . . I’m heading back into the studio. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Graphic 45 New Metal Staples!

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Sherry Cheever| 11 Comments

Good Monday morning! I hope y’all had a great weekend. I stayed buried in the studio for two days working on Graphic 45 projects. Almost done . . . just an altered piece and one more card to finish up. Plus, I have a few samples to make with the new metal butterflies. Have you seen them? OMG they are fabulous and YES, they are in the house.

I’ll be working these into my demo at CHA.

I’ll be at the Graphic 45 Booth on Sunday, January 29th at 11:00 am., demonstrating different techniques to use on the Metal Flowers.

If you are at CHA, I hope you’ll come by and visit with me!

Oh and did you see these?

These will be worked into my demo too . . . Metal Clothespins! How cool are these? When I first saw them my mind was already running with ideas on what to use them for!

I’ll be sharing more with you later in the week! In the mean time . . . thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous day.

Repurposing Empty Candles!

Hey every body! As promised the other day, here’s the details on the Moroccan Lantern that I did for the Spellbinders Blog Frenzy.

After I had taken the initial photos for the Blog Frenzy, I found some battery operated lights on clearance . . . So you know I had to try them in the lantern.

Now for the video:

Can you tell I have a love for blues harmonica? There were some of my uncle’s favorites too!

Thanks for stopping by today! I’m still in the last minute crunch for CHA projects . . . only a few more to go . . . spending lots of time in the studio!
