Flashback Friday--Cherry-O

Wasn't this the cutest, whimsical papers ever? One of my favorite papers. I stamped the cute little bugs and colored them in with markers and attached them with foam tape. I'm working on collecting my pics of the kids snuggling together. Wyatt, my youngest, is such a cuddler. He is always on some one's lap. I'm going to title it: Snuggle Bugs.

Cherry-O Cards

These are the cards I made and sent out to my students. Some of my students gave me some end-of-the-school-year gifts. They are so wonderful and thoughtful! I love to make cute (yet simple) cards and mail it to them over summer break. Kids LOVE to get cards and letters in the mail. Who doesn't? So, these are the cards I came up with. I used Cherry-O papers and some paper in the Cherry-O Creative Basics paper, as well. That cute butterfly and dragonfly are from the A Flutter stamp set. I colored them in with CTMH markers and inked up the edges of paper with Tulip ink. Easy!

Cherry-O Layout Level 2

This is a level 2 layout I put together this summer after I took some cute pictures of my kids licking the brownie batter. The great thing about the stickease that Close to My Heart has is the pictures that are on the back of each one. They show a layout using the stickease and the coordinating paper pack. So, one package of the stickease contains two sheets of stickers and two 2-page layouts using them. This layout shows one of the layouts on the back of the stickease. All I did was put the layout together as shown and add my own pictures. How easy is that? No stamping required. This makes it so fast and easy! I used a flip-flap on this layout to show 2 more pictures of my kids. The third picture shows it open and the fourth picture shows it closed.

Supplies used to make this layout: X7123b Cherry-O paper, X7123c Cherry-O Stickease, tulip ribbon

Cherry -O Layout

I love the Cherry-O paper. It is one of my favorites! I created this layout for my club member and we put it together this past August. I finished putting the pictures and the journaling I wanted for it this past weekend. I have a ton of completed layouts that are just waiting for pictures and/or journaling! Most people have pictures that need layouts, but I am just the opposite. I rarely have pictures of myself taken; I am usually the one behind the camera, not in front of it! So, I set up the tri-pod and camera one day this summer and took some pictures together.

Supplies used for this layout: X7123b Cherry-O paper, B1351 You're Sweet stamp set, D1427 Tasty Treats stamp set, E1014 Posterboard Alphabet stamp set, tulip ink, sweet leaf ink, chocolate ink, goldrush ink, honey ink, tulip ribbon, tulip brads, 3-D foam tape, tag punch.

Cherry-O Recipe Box

I love the recipe box so much I had to make one for my own. I used the Cherry-O papers and the My Originals Sugar & Spice recipe card kit. This kit contains 32 cute recipe cards, 3 sheets of stickers and 6 recipe inserts that I labeled with "deserts, salads etc." and it is only 12.95! I have tons of stickers left over to make cards or a layout or even another recipe box. The recipe box comes plain white and ready to decorate. The recipe box is only 6.95 and both are available on my website. Just click on the shopping cart to the left.

Supplies used to create the recipe box:
