Well, it’s the beginning of a new week and so far, I think, it’s going to be a quieter week than last. My sister is finally home and on the mend. She had her fourth surgery last week . . . this one to add screws and metal plates to her knee and tibia. Mallory had some more tests last week, and we still don’t have the answer to what is causing her problems. Grasping at straws and on some advice from one of my sister’s nurses, we are now thinking gallbladder . . . hopefully I can talk to the doctor today about it. That’s the family update for now . . .
Saturday I was browsing around the internet, doing a little shopping of this and that, and decided that I needed to go through my Studio 490 sets to see what I was missing and needed. (Well of course I need them all, but . . . there is this green stuff . . . ). I was flipping through Wendy’s Studio 490 Book VI and one of her projects, Remembering Paris, on page 41 struck me. It was more her Art Parts for the project and all the layering. I was inspired!
Off I trotted to the studio and decided to try my hand at making the base pieces of the project with Printers Chipboard and my Spellbinders™. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to use Graphic 45 Olde Curiosity Shoppe or A Ladies’ Diary, but got this wild idea to pull out an old Inky Antics sentiment stamp which led me to use A Ladies’ Diary.
The base was made from Printers Chipboard die cut with Grand Labels Eleven. The next layer is one die smaller with a Grand Oval in the middle, also die cut from Printers Chipboard.
From this angle, you can see the depth of the die cuts and all the layers.
The large flower was made with Grand Peony Creations and the small flowers were made with Bitty Blossoms.
The sentiment was stamped on a manila tag that had been covered with Antique Linen and Bundled Sage Distress Ink. It was die cut/embossed with Labels and Tags, then stenciled with Tumbled Glass. Can you see the faint white stamping? That’s the leaf border from Studio 490 It’s Face Art stamped in Jasmine Mix’d Media Inx.
I think I’m tired of obeying all the rules . . . I need a little fun in my life! Speaking of fun . . . it’s Summer CHA time. I had to pass on going this summer because of all the family stuff going on, but I’ll be looking for photos, videos and anything else I can find online!
Thanks for stopping by today and remember . . . life is short, make the most of the adventures that come your way!
Oh and don’t forget to come back tomorrow . . . it’s Tangle Time Tuesday #2!

Gorgeous project. Love all of the layering. Those flowers are stunning. You have such an eye for what works and how it looks best put together. TFS!!!
This is fabulous! I adore your work. Love the quote!
WOW…this is absolutely beautiful Sherry! Now I must run to the store and get my hands on the Grand Peony Spellbinders
Awesome Sherry. Inspiring and Creative. What is printer’s chipboard?
Thank you for sharing. I am looking forward for Tuesday Tangle.
Sherry, glad to hear that your sister is home from the hospital. Being in the hospital gets old quickly. I hope you are able to get some satisfying answers for Malory soon. I love today’s project. I am curious to know how long it takes you to create a project like this. Thank you for sharing.
Your project is another great one; love how you used the dies and the vintage look. Glad your sister is recovering from all the surgeries and hopefully you’ll have an answer to your daughter’s symptoms.
Love your project and the papers you used, A Ladies Diary is one of my favorites. My prayers have been for you and your family, and glad your sister is home. Oh it took 1 month for them to figure out it was my gallbladder hopefuly they will figure it all out soon. Thank you so much for sharing your work.
BE-uatiful! Your sister continues to get healing thoughts from this side of the country. Mallory too is in my thoughts and prayers. Your creation is so very pretty. But then…..your work always is…love it all, and love, love, love the flower!
Gorgeous creation, great images and love your flowers!
So glad to hear the good news that your sister is home and on the mend!!!! Loved this card. But must ask, what is printer’s chipboard??? Where do you get this???? Take care of Mallory. Hope they figure out what is causing her discomfort soon.

WOW! Your creation has so many yummy details. Happy to see your getting some time to create. Continuing to pray and think about your family.
This is absolutely beautiful Sherry, I love the flowers. I’m glad to hear your sis got home, and hope and pray for answers for Mallory soon too. I’m all set to join with you for tangle Tuesday. My first Zentangle ever, but I had fun doing it. Thanks for the inspiration to try this, but BOY they take an age to do though. No wonder the hospital or Drs waiting room is such a good place for your tangle time. I’ll post mine on my blog tomorrow too.
I absolutely love this! I have this pad of Graphic45 paper and was wondering how to get started with it. Of course, mine won’t be nearly as nice as yours but I’m going to try to make something! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
ohhhh it’s gorgeous! And I absolutely love the layers/depth!!!!
I bow to you…o mighty one! These flowers are stunning and it is just an overall jawdropping, beauty of a piece! Well done sista!
Absolutely Gorgeous….
Fabulous project! Love this! Your sister has sure had a lot of surgeries in a short amount of time. I sincerely hope it all turns out well for her. Best of luck to Mallory, too. Gallbladder would be a quick fix — fingers crossed.
Oh, Sherry! This is so fresh! I love the colors you used, and the frame is just wonderful. The sentiment is perfect…and that peony!!!!! I can almost smell it! LOL I have company this week, so no studio time for me. Sigh….
