JME Creations 1st Design Team Project: Apples

Hello to all my amazing followers!


I returned from a family visit to work on my design team project for JME Creations and the theme is apples. Well (to me) nothing says apples like Fall. Fall means back to school (do I hear a cheer going up?) Would you believe that this frame started out as a less than pretty $1 frame that was pink and black checkers and had a vampire logo in the middle of it. Here is a picture of the finished product:

Here are the details for my altered frame:


Apple cut is from Create a Critter Provocraft Cartridge
The face is stamped with Everyday Characters Peachy Keen stamp (largest face)
I punched the caterpillar from 1" circles and embellished with my gel pens
Black paper is from a Target paper pack Mom gave me
Pearls are Recollection (I believe)
Letters were cut from my Gypsy at 1" from Plantin Schoolbook Provocraft cartridge


I just love altered art as it takes something considered trash and makes it a treasure. Please check out the other design team members projects as well :)


Until next time....

Are you ready for some football?

I am. I don't really get to watch much and Monday Night football is out of the question but I do track and see how my NY teams do. Being a NY girl at heart, I just can't help it.

Today I made good use of my time. I was pretty much stranded so I decided to put together the cards for the die cut critters I made last weekend. I have so many card sketches I have designed and have to work on more of them. Here is what I came up with:

I decided to make one card of the set of 3 with a sentiment for these sets. I just love this happy little fellow!

Here are the two cards without sentiments. If I were to sell them online I am not sure if I would offer personalization. Any suggestions?

Here is the dragonfly. I would love to see him more sparkly for sure.

Here are the dragonfly twins :)

I think this one is my favorite! He was the first critter card I designed before even owning the cartridge!

I made two of these but they are identical :)

The sentiment in this one is one of many. I need to get a small alphabet stamp set one of these days but I am also a HUGE fan of handwriting on cards. They make them more homey to me.

And here are the owl twins. They are fraternal of course! The Inside has the same paper as the inside sentiment above.

And last but not least, the finished flower card....

I kind of switched gears on this one with the eyelets and the stamped sentiment (I normally wait to stamp until I need the card). The reason I did was this is a sample now. The glue did not dry clear so I was disappointed. C'est la vie as they say.

Well, I hope that you have enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you. All comments are welcome. Until next time....

Aaaaarrrghhhh, it is my birthday treasure! Part 1

As I promised yesterday, I wanted to share the pictures of the items that I received for my birthday. I had fun shopping and soon I will be spending my Stampin Up gift certificate. That will be part 2 of this post. Here we go....

This is the scrapbook page that my daughter surprised me with. Isn't she talented? Of course I am partial

Here are the pics of my AC Moore goodies....

And here is the Cricut cartridge that I have been wanting for the longest time. I tried to win it 3 times on Ebay and I was unsuccessful. Thank goodness! :)

I have already cut out the apple, the frog and the dragonfly. I designed some card sketches that I will be adding these to. Those photos are to follow.

Well, that is all folks for now. I am off to make a card for a yellow and buttons challenge :)

Until next time.....
