Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge For MOM

Wonderful Mother 

God made a wonderful mother,

A mother who never grows old;

He made her smile of the sunshine,

And He moulded her heart of pure gold;

In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,

In her cheeks fair roses you see;

God made a wonderful mother,

And He gave that dear mother to me. 

Pat O'Reilly

I thought I would share this lovely Poem with you all before I show you my card for the Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge For Mom

So this is one of my cards for my Mum or my Mum -in-law not sure which one will get this one.Its a bit had to see with this card, I have actually made it out of cardboard and then covered each piece with Kaiser paper Sweets and matching Kaiser Cardstock, then joined the two pieces together with Ribbon so it ties at the side with tow bows.

Die's that I have used are

Dutch Scallop Square Frame DL 140 ( also the fancy die from the middle)

Japanese Lace and Flourish Frame DL 137 ( just the ferns in the middle)

Large Rose B 155

Medium Rose B 154

Miniature Rose B 152

Olive Branches B 147

Cuties 1 B 149

These are linked to Scrappy-go-Lucky so hop on over and see what other Cheery Lynn Dies are available.

So here is my card, its like a window of flowers,

This is the back of the card

This is the card opened up and I have made little tags to sit in the pocket's which I have then used some Rub-ons on each one,

The versus on the tags,

I have actually glued the flowers onto the ribbon. And for a different effect I have used Cuties B149 and not rolled it up but just left it to use as a border on the top of the pockets.

Its not Mothers Day here until the 13 May so I have a little bit of time to make another card.

Thanks so much for leaving me comments it really makes it all worth while.

Cheers Shelley

Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 23 -Think Spring

Well I am back from Holidays and trying to get back to reality, such a shame I cant look out the windows and see the beach, maybe one day I will be able to....this is the view we woke up to every morning overlooking Kings Beach at Caloundra.

Well over at Cheery Lynn Designs they have had a bit of a change they now have two blogs one called the Cheery Lynn Designs Inspiration Blog and then the new Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge Blog.
So one is obviously for inspiration and the other is for the challenges, although they are both awesome blogs to follow.
So here is my card for the Think Spring Challenge,
I have used Fanciful Flourish B117 and Small Lace Faerie Queen w/Angel Wing DL 161, I made this whilst on holidays so I was limited as to products to use on the card as I couldn't take everything with me. You can see most of the dies at Scrappy-go-Lucky.

The wooden Bird Cage Flourish is from Kaiser and other bits and pieces I took with me.

A close up of the gorgeous Butterfly it also comes with the wing to use on the back.

Well hope you like my card and I will be back with a few more projects that I am working on very soon.

Cheers Shelley

Sending A Flutter of Easter Wishes,

I love the little Spring Basket and I have threaded ribbon through the handle of the basket.

The eggs I have cut out and then used gold card at the back of them.

This is a close up of the Garden Gate or as I would call it my picket fence, I have added some Tim Holtz Distress Ink Antique Linen just to give the fence and old look.

I hope you like my Thing with Wings card, I am of to pack a few more things for my Holiday.

Kaiser Saturday Sketch January # 2

Well I have completed 3 of the Kaiser Sketches but I haven't had time to put them up so here is the one for Saturday Sketch no 2. I have used all Kaiser products for this layout, handmade some flowers and used a Cheery Lyn Die  for the lace look around the flowers and behind the mannequin shape.

This is my Mum and me at Caloundra a few weeks ago, so you will see a few of these photo's as I am determined to get them into an album.

Just a close up of the flowers.

This is the sketch we had to work with,

Hope you enjoy looking at my Layout,

Cheers Shelley

Maggie Lovers Challenge # 1

Well this is going to be a really quick post as I have to have this card in for Bron's very first Maggie Lovers Card Challenge Challenge #1 - Christmas using Pink and Brown or Red and Brown the challenge closes tonight so here goes.
This is my take on the challenge, there are lots of talented Ladies out there that can colour beautifully with Copic Markers, and I am not one of them but I do like to give it a try and I just love my Tilda Stamps.
I have used Secret Tilda and Wrapped Presents which I have cut out and layered a few times.

Here is a close up of the card,

I have also used Cheery Lyn Die for the Christmas Tree, Nestabilities Dies and a little bit of Kaiser Bling on the tree.

Cheers Shelley

Kaiser Saturday Sketch October # 2

It is very hard to imagine that this gorgeous girl Shelby is 17 and all dressed up for her Year 12 Formal.
We have known her since she was born and we have watched her grow into a beautiful Young Lady.
I loved doing this Kaiser Sketch October # 2 as you could use 3 photo's and I love putting lots of photos on my pages. So this is done with an older paper called Sakura Park, I am not sure if you can still buy it but I wanted to use it because of the red and black colours.

I have used Doily Dies, Martha Stewart Punches, Nestabilities Dies, all Kaiser paper and of course lots of bling. Pop back in a few days as I have finished the Sketch for October # 1, and it will go into my album as this page's other half. The words are cut with Cricut Cartridge Forever Young.

This is the sketch we had to work with.

Cheers Shelley

Kaiser Saturday Sketch September #4

As promised I am back again with Kaiser Sketch #4, This time I have used all of the December 25th Collection. I have used the 12 x 12 paper as well as some of the Paper Pad papers and embellishments. 

I have used Nestabillites for the fancy shape of the Holly and Cheery Lyn Dies for the round doily at the top of the page. I have also used my new Border maker from Creative Memories for the fence shape and then threaded through Kaiser paper.

I hope you like this one any comments you leave really make my day.

Cheers Shelley

Kaiser Saturday Sketch September 2

Black and Bling was the theme for Jordyn 21st, so of course I had to keep the theme going with my layout for Kaiser's Saturday Sketch # 2. I came across some older black and white paper called Argententella and adding that with the newer Black and White paper pad a little bit of silver card stock using Nestabilities and a Doily Die they all went really well together.
Plus the added bonus for me was I could add lots of bling, with some kindy glitz on the Kaiser flowers and the ones I made with Kaiser paper and strips of bling around the photo and here it is my Black and Bling page.

A close up of the flowers

Here is the sketch.

Jordyn had a prize for the Bling King and Bling Queen and guess what I WON the Bling Queen, I am pretty well known for all of my costume jewellery and of course my watches which is at around 130 or more at the moment. I did tell Jordyn and Tracey I was out to win.

Cheers Shelley.

Another Llittle Box

I have made this little box for a very special friend of mine. She has been going through a lot over the last 10 months or more and without giving away to much that's all I will say as she hasn't got this yet.

I have used Doily Dies and purchased from Scrappy-Go-Lucky, Lattice FRM 115, French Pastry DL 102, Kiwi Oval Frame DL 123, Japanese Lace & Flourish Frame DL 137 ( just the leaves on this one), Exotic Butterflies Set of 3 small DL 113, Spellbinders Nestabilities Carnation Creations S5 049, Grand 12' Classic Lace Border. Die-namics Fancy Flourish, and last but not least 2 of the Magnolia Stamps Tilda With Three Flowers and Tulip Wheelbarrow both from Michelle's Cards & Stamps.

This is from the front of the box,

And just a few smaller pictures of the different angles,

I know there is a lot on here but once I get started I just can't seem to stop with all the little bits and pieces.

Here is just a little sneak peak of something else I have been working on that I will post next week.

Cheers Shelley

Birthday Sundaes

Hop on over to Birthday Sundaes and see what there card challenge is this week. You have to use at least 3 Brads. This is what I have come up with, I have cut the circle card using my Grand Calibar and Grand Round Nestabilities Die. Then used smaller ones in the scalloped and round circle's to get the layered effect. Cut out the flowers with different sized flower punches and added some Kaiser rhinestones around the edges. Popped a Doily Die Canadian Kaleidoscope in the middle and added the Happy Birthday in a Kaiser rub on.

This card is going to Renata from Calligraphic Arts at Moorooka for her birthday. Also with this little box I made with the Grand Calibar and Grand Nestabilites.

Here it is from a front on view so you can see its made into a little box.

I have added the punched flowers and a few leaves and filled it up with chocolate.

I hope she likes these, I know she will love the chocolates.

Cheers Shelley
