No White Stuff Here!

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Sherry Cheever| 9 Comments

Good morning!  So how many of you have snow?  I can’t remember a winter where we virtually have had no snow at all.  I think the school kids have had a few 2 hour delay days and one full snow day, but other than that, we have had nothing.  One morning we woke up to a beautiful wet snow that clung to the trees and bushes and it showed throughout the morning; but by the afternoon . . . it had all melted!  I’m really not a cold weather person, but once in a while I like to see a little of the white stuff.

I have one more Graphic 45 French Country card to share today.  Have I said how much I LOVE this collection?  Well I do . . . I LOVE this collection!

The card is really self-explanatory so not great details for this one.

That’s it!  No long post with this one . . . I know I’m scaring myself!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have an adventurous day!

Graphic 45 French Country Collection!

Posted on February 27, 2013 by Sherry Cheever| 7 Comments

Happy Wednesday!  Mallory has been home to help me with Hadlee today, so I was able to get my craft on a little earlier today than usual.

I have to tell ya . . . I’m loving these new Graphic 45 collections.  I’ve been waiting for these ever since Botanicabella retired, which I think was my favorite of all collections so far!

I couldn’t help myself and had to cut into the French Country collection today.  Oh my BADness!  In love!!!  (I also purchased the 12×12 pads so that I could cover some boxes, shelves, etc. . . . need to get altered with roosters!)

G45FrenchCountryCard

The bottom of the top layer was die cut/embossed with the new Spellbinders™ A2 Bracket Borders One and the tag was die cut/embossed with the new Charmed I’m Sure!

G45FrenchCountryCard2

The frame was die cut/embossed with Labels One from the Core’dinations Graphic 45 Signature Series.

That’s all for now.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have fabulous day!

Today is my day to share!

SCheeverQueenOfHearts2

I used an old pad of MME Lost & Found – Madison Avenue for the card base, distressing the edges and sponging a little bit of Antique Linen on the edges.

The heart and sentiment were stamped on white cardstock and embossed with Queens’ Gold Embossing Powders.  The heart was sponged with Antique Linen and Worn Lipstick, trimmed out and popped up on a mini tag that had also been covered in some scraps.

SCheeverQueenOfHeartsCloseUp

While the sentiment was still in the die, the edges were sponged with the same Antique Linen and Worn Lipstick.  The edges of both were trimmed with a gold leafing pen.

A frame (Labels Twenty-Nine) was made using chipboard and some of the MME paper, to highlight the sentiment.

SCheeverQueenOfHeartsCloseUpFlowerAndTag

The flower (Bitty Blossoms) was die cut from another piece of the same paper pad, sponged with Antique Linen, a bit of Worn Lipstick and then misted with water and Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls.  The leaves (Foliage Two and Bitty Blossoms) were die cut from watercolor paper and then colored with Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss Distress Stain.  they were also misted with water and Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls.

Well, that’s all for me today!  I hope you’re enjoying the hop and don’t forget to leave a comment in order to be eligible for the prize drawing.  Good luck!!

Valentine’s Day Love!

Posted on January 28, 2013 by Sherry Cheever| 15 Comments

Good morning!  Oh my BADness,  too much time went by without me posting anything.  I got so sidetracked with the baby last week (a little fussy, a little sick and a whole lot spoiled) that I never made it into the studio for very long at any given time.

Two things today!  First, I have posted a Valentine’s Day card over the Quietfire Creations Blog.

SCheeverValentineHearts

Secondly!  Quietfire has announced the 4th Annual Queen of Hearts Challenge! Check it out while you’re over there . . . lots of prizes, a Blog Hop, awards . . . just a whole lot of fun!

So that it’s for me right now!  I’ve got a mixed media project in process and can’t wait to share it with you . . . hopefully within the next few days!

Good morning!  Wow have I been spending lots of time in the studio and I’m slowing ticking off all the CHA projects that I need to get done.  Just a few more to go and a couple of blog posts and then I’ll be able to think about decorating for the holidays.

Yesterday I finished up a project for the Quietfire Creations Blog. You know it’s one of those that you’ll have to read more about and see more photos over on the Quietfire Creations Blog.
