Catch my heart

This is the Valentine's card that I made for my husband. Hopefully he doesn't check my blog. ;)

The image is an original image drawn by me. My husband is still working hard to get my web store up and running so that crafters will be able to purchase and download my images there. Hopefully we get it up and running in the next few days. If you are interested in purchasing the image before the web store is ready please either leave a comment or email. My email address is shelly@shellysimages.com. The heart shape in the glove is an acrylic heart that I got at Hobby Lobby. I added some Glossy Accents to sparkle it up a little. The skittles are actually my first attempt at dying my own. I thought they turned out really nice. The baseball paper is by Adorn it and the other red paper is some from my stash.

Thanks for dropping by.

Good Friend Challenge - Week of October 5th

I got alot done this week, but not everything on my challenge. This week I wanted to make a birthday card for my Grandma. I did get that done. I used an idea that I got from my step-Mom, Rhonda. She sent my daughter a card using this technique and I thought it looked really neat.

The first image is a picture of the card closed.


And here is the card shown open.

The measurements for the card are...

Card Base - 5 1/2 by 12"

Score at 4" and 8" giving 3 panels

Score 1st panel and 3rd panel in half or at 2" and 10"

Make a cut horizontally across card that is 1 1/2" from top and 1 1/2 " from bottom. Do not cut through the 1st and last panel.

The patterned paper on the first and last panel measures 1 3/4 by 5 1/4".

The patterned paper on the middle panel measures 1 3/8 by 3 3/4" (need two).

The off white paper for the stamp and writing measures 3 by 2 1/8". Matt if desired.

The bird image is from a Stampin' Up stamp set. And the papers are K&Company.

The rest of my goal was to decide on a design for a holiday vinyl and also to get out the advent calendar that I made last year so I could add some numbers. I didn't get either of those things done. We did however get pumpkins painted. And I also got some vinyl letters cut for shelf labels at the elementary school library. Oh...and I got another pair of slippers knitted. All in all, not a bad week.

Good Friend Challenge - Week 2 Results

Mom's cards turned out great too. I love the butterfly stamp with the curvy border! Great job Mom. Thanks for joining us in these challenges. :)

Here are Min's cards for the week. Great work Min! I absolutely love the image stamped on the dark background. I have to try that!

My cards for week 2 did go together really fast. And that is exactly what I need! I will take these to school with me since I never seem to have a thank you card there when I need one.

That completes this week. I am so excited to see what Min has in store for next week.

Good Friend Challenge - Week 1

Here is my card for the Good Friend Challenge that my honorary sis Min posted this week. I don't love the job that I did with the MCPT, but I do like the card as a whole.

Halloween Treat Baskets

Here are the Halloween treat baskets that I made this week. I will let my daughter take some for teachers at her school and the rest will be for my co-workers. It feels really early to be working with Halloween stuff, but I know that I will be happy that they are done when October gets here. Thanks to http://www.heartprints.net/ for the inspiration for this project. :)
