Whootttttttttttt First Magistical Memories post!

Hey there kids! Happy Halloween!  I have a not so Halloweeny post for you today. So excited to share my first Magistical Memories http://www.magisticalmemories.com/ project with you!  I made a couple of shabby little  cards...using a subject kinda close to my heart..Cherries!  I used two Amy Teets designs this time...the chunky scallop frame (I heart this) and a circle tab on the second card.  I chose to cover both chipboard pieces with papers and sand them down and did a bit of distressing and inking because that is just how I roll.  Loved how they turned out.  We were lucky enough to also partner up with PAPER TRUNK http://www.papertrunk.com/.  I used papers from both the rockabilly and the Maybe Baby lines.  LOVE that cherry paper!  We also partnered up with Helmar Adhesives.  I used their premium craft glue and the 3-d zapdots.  Is it wrong to say I have fallen madly and deeply in love with their glue?  It really rocks...works super well.  High quality stuff.  Well that is it for me today!  Hope you enjoyed! Have a fun Halloween!  Hey and before I go I encourage you all to join in with our October sketch contest http://magisticalmemories.blogspot.com/2010/10/october-guest-design-team-challenge.html 
whoever wins the challenge gets to be the guest designer for December!  How cool is that?  Go check it out!  xoxo, Cherry

A few little friday night creations..

I was able to create a few cards today....did my heart good.  Had to take a  few breaks here and there to cuddle my kitten Bailey.  He INSISTS ON IT......most def. a lap cat.  He allowed me to finish these though and I thought I would share them with you this evening.  So fun to change out color schemes when ever a whim calls....have always adored black/white together...and of course my fave red....and than a bit of pink.  I will be adding these to my etsy store in a fw http://www.etsy.com/shop/cherryjn
I have decided to do a shipping sale again....if you buy 20.00 or more in cards etc you will recieve free shipping.  This will go thorough to Sunday...Halloween!  So take advantage and do a little shopping. I will be adding a few designs to the store through the weekend...so check back.  Have fun this spooky weekend and be safe!  xoox, cherry

GCD Studios THEME Project....wee bit spoooooooky!

Hello there!  I am back to share my GCD Studio's Theme project for the month.....one of my faves so far.  Love that combination of blacks, creams, and small pops of color.  Which is exactly what we were to go off of.  I chose to add a bit of yellowy green to  mine by using some fab GCD Studio's vintage buttons from the Homespun chic line.  Designed by Ms. Melody Ross herself!  I also used papers from the Artsy Urban line for my black/cream papers.  I added a bit of vintage flair by covering the middle pendant with a vintage book page.  My chipboard base is the GCD STudio's Banner Kit....which a perfect size for banners. Not to big and not to small....JUST right!   I think this little banner is gonna be JUST RIGHT hanging in a little spot I have in the dining area.  Hope you enjoyed this months theme! Happppppppppy Halloween!  Hugs, Cherry

Holiday confusion..

       you would def. think I had holiday confusion....one day Halloween, than Christmas, than thankgiving...back to christmas.  Guess it depends on my moods...today it is Christmas again.  If I don't get things rolling now I wont get everything done I want to.  Been in an altering state of mind...altered art that is.  a few little pendants and a bingo card...and even a banner.  I LOVE the red/aqua blue combo...just one of my all time faves.  Well I am quitting while still ahead...last nights posts were giving me fits....i would write and they would get deleted.  I gave up and just published anyways.  I don't have this typing down on this laptop yet.  Well enjoy your tuesday evening folks!  That is it for me tonight.  Before it gets deleted again...argh...xoxo, Cherry

A Little of this and that ...

Hello there ...thought I would share with a few nooks and crannies with u.  A few shelves I changed around with you.  Everything you see except for the one black clock is second hand.  Very proud of that fact.  Love the thrill of the hunt!  Other than that I just put out a few pumpkin spooks.  Thought I would share my pumpkin man from last year.  Don't remember if I did lst year.  Lovrd how he turned out.  Well that is it for me.  Happy Monday!  Cherry
