Paper Octogon Box Made to store my Homemade Flowers

After making my first box for the mini album,  I decided to make a ME box and will store all my homemade flowers.  Mostly Roses will be inside this box..   Thanks for taking a peek.  Would love to know someone has dropped by, so please do stop in and say Hi.

Hope you enjoy my pictures.

Here are some more additional roses 

                              I HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY NEWEST CREATIONS,  Sherry

MY Mother has my heart

This was the gift I made for my mom.  Again.. first time making a heart box, and with lots of practice I got my roses looking really good... ooo I'm so happy.  I've been working on them for so long, just wanted them to look like a real rose.    Plus I enjoy making paper flowers, so I enjoyed every minute.   If you stop by please drop a note just to say hi, I'm thinking about deleting my blog as I don't think anyone ever visits so I kinda feel like I am wasting my time.   Would be nice to know that someone does come and visit.  Here are a few pictures of The opening heart rose box.

THANKS FOR STOPPING IN.   Would love to know if anyone comes by for a visit.. THX

Been Way To Long!! Here's what I've been up to.

Hi All,

Sorry I've been MIA for quit sometime.  Dealing with alot of health issues I've lost my interest in anything, so scrapbooking fell off the list.  But in the last couple of months between bed rest I've got some things fixed.. I'll post some pictures.   

I made my first chipboard album and needed a large box for it to fit, so bought this SVG file for this Octagon Box and other boxes from Sure Cuts  The teal one was my first attempt.  As well the Album inside was my first chipboard mini.   I'm so happy it turned out, I was making it for my son's GF so I couldn't mess up on it lol. 

If you stop by, please leave a comment I'd love to know if anyone even comes by.  Thanks  Sherry

These are only some of the layouts inside the album if you would like to see more check out my gallery at scrapbook.com  http://www.scrapbook.com/profiles/394439.html

Happy Halloween Haunted House Tag

Happy Halloween!   Just getting into some fun of it... One of my halloween tags..   Thanks for stopping by.  This was going to be part of a tag swap but life threw a big curve ball and I didn't sign up because I didn't think I could complete them by the due date.   So the tags I have now I'm going to complete them into a mini  halloween album for myself.  

 I knew someday the picture of the moon, taken by my son Kyle, would come in handy.  It was PERFECT for my haunted house!  What can be more realistic than the real thing!     Great picture Kyle!
                                                                    HOPE YOU ENJOY!
                                                                               Sherry

A Different Kind of Bouquet!

My daughter just had her 25th day.  I've been asking her what she wanted for a present, so one day she laughs and emails me.. hey I need sock, you can get me some socks for my birthday.   So How boring is that!!!   So I decided to be creative and make a Bouquet full of socks and added some scrapbook things she can use.    I thought as a joke it turned out pretty good!    I don't even know how many pairs of sock there actually ended up being in it!  lol     But it turned out pretty good considering its only made from socks!  Of course I got her some other things but this was just kind of a joke.  But I'm glad how it turned out.

Happy Birthday Ashley.

Roses, Roses, every where!

 

Well I've been working and working trying to achieve what I feel if the natural looking rose.   So here we go,  I'll post individual pictures and the whole bunch.  I can see I'm getting better..  but do you think they look like a rose.  The yellow and pinks are the newest.

                                                                                         

                                                                             

Flower Making Mode

I was going to join a swap for homemade flowers but I missed the closing but I figured I would make some flowers anyway.. maybe for another swap.. maybe for myself. I really enjoy making flowers, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist and always try and make them  as close to real as possible. My Ostermums are one of my fav.. so I tried to create the flower I had going in the back.  I've been making roses too.. trying to get them to my satisfaction.  I will have to post them another day as I didn't take pics of them yet.
There are several different types of flowers.., my usual ones just made in colors I've not tried.  I love them mostly white.  Although, again, the camera didn't pick up the glitter they are all painted with acrylic and painted with extreme glitter and lacquered to all the shine.   Thanks for looking

My favorite ones are the white ones with the little touch of black or the touch of blue  But then again I always change my mind!  lol  Thanks for stopping by  

What a Total Surprise!!

This past week I was asked if it was OK from a fellow blogger if she added me to her Mojo Monday. She explained to me what Mojo Monday was. During the following week if she happened to run into, layout or altered item  that toally impressed her,  she then makes her list and features them on her blog.  When I was asked I really had no idea what work of mine would of inspired her, as she does such beautiful creations of her own.  For those of you who don't know who I'm talking about already you should check her out her name is Stacey S but better knows as "Mrs.Schwiet"

 

So it turns out that she found one of my older posted,  and she  Posted My Paper Made Shoes on her blog, along with  a few others that she enjoyed and gave her inspiration for the week. Mojo Monday what a great idea!  I'm thrilled that she would find enjoyment in one of my posts.  My birthday is this week, so Thank you Stacey, that was a big surprise birthday present!  I'm totally honored, more than words can say!

To find individual pictures of each shoe follow the links below the image of my 3 Paper Shoes.

Here are links to each shoe if you want to see additional pictures  CHECK OUT MORE PICTURES HERE  as well as here  Paper shoe "Green Pair"  and here for the  Purple Paper shoes.
I can't say how much fun I enjoyed making these.  It was to date the most fun swap I've done.

Thank you again Stacey for your kindness and for putting a BIG smile on my face!    You have no idea how honored I truly am.
