Sale continues and a few cards to share.

My next couple of weeks are filled with events like birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, and Mother's Day. I have a ton of projects to make! Just in case your April and May are filled with activities like mine I decided to have a sale. I have many files that are useful for not only cards and scrabooking but also teacher gifts and decorations. You can find my store by clicking on the Ad above or by clicking here. I do not have all my files converted to MTC and Studio but if you purchase a file in any format I will be glad to convert it for you and send it to you through e-mail.  Just e-mail me at shellysart@verizon.net with your invoice.  Oh before you leave I have some inspiration for you!

Don't you just love this card Creative Design Team member Kelly designed!  Kelly is a whiz at combining multiple files to create something spectacular!  She used my fancy labels, card base 9, and sentiments:cursive to create this great card!  I love her combo of papers!

I also made a card using my card base 9 file.   I used my I love Ice Cream file for the focal point.  Now that I finally have my paper organized (see mission organization tab at the top of my homepage)...I was able to take 3 lonely papers and pair them up into a great background for my card.  That is one thing I like about this file..it lets you easily take scraps or busy prints and use them effectively on your card.  I added some glossy accents on the fudge sauce to make it a little more real.  I also colored the cherry with a Copic glitter marker to make it look like a sugared cherry.  I replaced the paper strip with some ribbon.  The sentiment stamp if from Paper Trey Ink's Papertray stamp set.

If you would like to purchase any of the files used in the cards above please click on the previews below to be taken directly to them in my store.

It's been a while since I've shared any personal photos.  So  I figured one from Easter is as good as any.

We were headed to Pop pop and Grandmas hurrying to make our reservation time so I didn't have time to get the prefect photo! Despite the bad lighting I still think this turned out pretty cute!  Tyler's tuxedo t-shirt just cracks me up!  He loved it and made sure to tell everyone it wasn't a real tuxedo!  I have to admit I love having a girl and being able to buy an Easter dress!  Growing up my parents really never went shopping for Easter duds so I am loving being able to dress my kids up during this special holiday.  Would you believe Tyler is 8 and Adoree will be 5 next month!  Where have my babies gone!

Thanks for stopping by!  Come back and see me again!

And the winner is.....plus some NSD challenge projects.

Hi everyone,
     So did you enjoy national scrapbooking day?  I have to admit I had fun even though I did not get any time to actually craft.  I loved seeing all the projects that were shared in the challenges at Paperthreads.  I also loved watching you guys "catch" the ball for my blog challenge.  I'm glad many of you had fun playing this game and didn't think I was too weird! 

So without further ado..thanks to random.org..the winner is.....

CONGRATS ESTHER!
Please e-mail me your address at shellysart@verizon.net and I'll get the package out to you soon!

I hosted a challenge on Paperthreads for NSD.  In the challenge a Tic Tac Toe/Bingo type of card was presented and people had to create projects using the items listed on the card.  They only had a few days to complete their projects.  These gals gave it their all and made some amazing items.   Over the course of this week I would like to share some of their projects.  

First up we have Brett a very talented member of my CDT.  She made these wonderful notepads combining my Notepad with Cover file,  emoticons file, and fancy labels file (which incidently is where the ball was hiding!) .  Brett did a wonderful job!  She has some of the greatest "mod" paper..it's just perfect to go with the emoticons!     I just love these and think I may make some for the next church bizarre.   They would make excellent little gifts for baskets and stockings!  I wouldn't mind having one in my purse...well maybe two one to keep each child occupied.

 If you would like to make any of your own notepads please click on the words below to purchase.

Next up we have two wonderful layouts by Lisa!  The first one uses everything listed on the Bingo card in my challenge.  She even made her own rub ons...Easter eggs.  One of these days I'll have to try that and maybe feature it here!

This uses my Easter:Hunting Eggs file.  If you'd like to purchase please click on the words below.

Next Lisa did another wonderful layout using one of my newest files Beach Boys.  This file is perfect for her cool little dude!  I love how she used iridescent black paper for the sunglass lenses.

I'm off to announce the winner of the NSD challenge...sooo....toodles!  Thanks for stopping by!
