Sweet Princess Wishes

Hi Everyone!!!  Well I'm excited to annouce that I have been chosen to be a Guest Designer for the October challenge at Sherri Baldy's My Besties 3D & More Challenge Blog !!!

I really wanted to make something special and I think I did a good job thanks to this elegant Sherri Baldy Princess Bestie 3D image and matching digital papers.


I used my Cricut Explore to "print & cut" this adorable 3D image, added some sparkle with Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll pens, and a gem in her crown.  I added some flowers and pearls to match the color scheme.  The butterfly die cut was colored with Smooch in colors that I felt complimented the papers.  I used 3 of the papers from the Princess Bestie digital paper pack to make this beautiful easel card.



For some wonderful inspiration
AND a challenge

And to see more of Sherri Baldy's adorable images and papers be sure to visit her stores
and


I love this card so much it would be crazy to not enter in a few challenges.....so here they are...

DIY Rustic Country Vase & Candle Holder

Even though you usually see me making cards, 
I also love making home decor projects.  This one came to me while drinking a New York Seltzer....I loved the bottle.
After wrapping it with twine I "dressed it up" with some beautiful things from Creating With Details .  These can be used as candle holders (I use dripless candles), or as a bud vase.
To see how I made these please visit my YouTube channel and watch my tutorial by CLICKING HERE
