Sheryl Schmidt Artistry

I made this altered sign during Just Cre8's online crop. I forgot to take before pictures but let's just say that seagulls and lighthouses aren't really my thing. It was a Dollar Store find. I love how it turned out. The quote says"Dream as if you'll live forever...live as if you'll die today." -James Dean

This photo cube made from CD cases was so much fun to do. My friend Barb R. emailed me this idea. I sat down last night and completed it in just a few short hours. I think it took me longer to find the photos I wanted to use than to make it. I used Basic Grey paper (of course) for the Boys I used the Archaic 6x6 paper pack and for the girls I used the Euphoria 6x6 paper pack. The pages are very simple done. The #1 is coated in Flower Soft. I love this new product for adding texture to chipboard. The #2 is Glimmer Misted. The #3 is inked and then stamped with Staz On ink. I really like how it turned out. The #4 is Glittered. Who doesn't like glitter?

Sorry about the poor quality of my photos and the sideways one. My computer and camera just weren't being very user compatible tonight. I made this album from 2 old 45 record albums. My inside pages were cut using my coluzzle .(boy am I happy I invested in this.) I made the album to hold all the ticket stubs from outings with the family this summer and to jot down little notes and what nots about said outings. It was fun to make and was a departure for me as I prefer to design around pictures not design and then add pictures. I used the CUPCAKE line from Basic Grey. I think Basic Grey is one of my favorite lines. (it seems to be the one I have the most of ;).

My Mother-in-Law bought me a beautiful glass measuring cup set for Christmas, to protect the cups these cardboard forms were wrapped around them. I had put them into the recycling bin but while scrapping one night decided I need more storage and thought they would make great baskets. A little paper some ribbon and they look not bad. They are great for my flower storage and my girls think they are pretty. (I made 2 of them)

If you are anything like me you have a container or two full of odds and sods of paper. The dilemma for me is always what am I to do with them? I was in JSI the other day and saw a paper bag album that they had done and thought to myself what a great way to use up leftovers but what a great little gift to give someone. They are quick to do and lots of fun.

I am re-something my craft room this week. I had a little shelf that i considered boring so I did ...well I don't really know what to call what I did. I used lots of paper scraps and odds and ends I had. I think it looks kind of cute now. Yes I am a bonehead I forgot to take before pictures oh well.
