Hi Cheery Lynn fans, Donna here, did you know it's only two more weeks till Christmas, and Santa arrives with all those crafty presents......are you all ready for the big day?

For my card this week

I used a Mo Manning image called Sticky, isn't he a little darling!

My card is a 6.5 inch x 6.5 inch card

I cut out the French Flair Scalloped Nesting die in the largest size in red cardstock, and layered the French Flair Classic in the largest size out of green paper, then layered a Scalloped Circle Classic nesting die out of red cardstock and finally a white circle classic nesting die on top.

I've sprinkled it full of glamour dust and finally a spraying of irridescent spray from Crafter's Companion to get the overall shine to it. (Of course I had to do it outside in the freezing cold as it is an aerosol and very strong smelling) Finally I popped the image onto a action wobble. (I tried to take a picture of it in action but it just kept coming out blurry)

For the sentiment I used a combination of the word Happy and Christmas from the Merry Christmas sentiment set.

In the corner I layered up three snowflakes using silicone glue. The bottom snowflake is the snowflake 5, then the Snowflower from Set 2, finishing with the snowflake from the snowflake set (a must have set at this time of year)

I've also used one of the sentiment frames on the left side of the card popping two buttons from the Dimensional buttons on top.

Don't forget the Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge which this week is Tis the Season. You have the chance to win a $20 shopping voucher to use in the Cheery Lynn Designs store.

List of Dies Used

Good Morning again all you gorgeous Cheery Lynn Fans.  I have another project to show you today of a bookmark that I made using some of Cheery Lynn's old and new dies. 

The total length of the bookmark is 20cm with a 5cm fold at the top. I have put a small strip of magnetic tape on the back to hold the bookmark in place. 

Cheery Lynn dies I used are

Celtic Band, Lace Humming Bird, Scalloped and Classic Circles (XM)

Anastasia Border, Buttons #1

I'm not sure what the the colour of this paper is but its from Bo Bunny's double dot collection. The Sentiment is a new one from Lilli of the valley, I used distressing ink aged mahogany which matched the paper...

Here is a close up of the Anastasia Border with buttons #1 which I have threaded with plain white string. 

and here we have one of the new release dies this one is called "Celtic Band"..

Hasn't this been a fantastic week of fun here at Cheery Lynn Designs.  

I have had so much fun seeing all the creations with the Imaginisisce papers and products.

I have created a set of altered notebooks.

They are made from basic composition books that you can get from your local office supply store. The ones that look like this:

But with a little imagination, Imaginisce products and Cheery Lynn Designs Dies, you can create some adorable purse notebooks.

The dies I have used on these are, Flip Flops, Fanciful Flourish, Buttons 1, Zig Zag Ric Rac, Stacker Flower 3 and Fish.

I love making these.  I think that the more bright and colorful the papers are, the better the "purse" turns out.

I also used Imaginisce's i-rock tool to adhere some colorful hot rocks to both purses.

The large SUN KISSED DIE CUTS are so cute and the girl on the purse I think is the perfect touch!

Here is what the back of the purse looks like.

Here is the inside.

Here is the little "mini" purse.

Mini back.

Isn't it the cutest thing?

Here is the inside of the mini.

One last look.

I hope you have enjoyed my projects today.

I have enjoyed working with Imaginisce this week.  I am a huge fan and this has been quite and honor.

This has been Jeannie from The Polka Cabana with today's post.

Hello again Cheery Lynn fans and how are you all today? Tamara here with your Sunday inspiration and today I have created an "Acetate fronted card".  

Cheery Lynn Dies I used were:

Square Classic LG  Sliver  Stackers, Little stackers Circle Classic nesting dies, Little Stackers Scalloped Circle Nesting Dies, Dimensional Buttons #3. 

The Square Classic silver dies are clear in the middle so it makes it so much easier to see where to position your cut which has enabled me to create the window.  I added the acetate to the back, Dimensional buttons are down the side and in the corner.  I have used the little stackers to create the spotlight stamp.

Here is a close up of the Little Circle Classic and Scalloped Circle and the Dimensional Buttons #3.  Take a look in the Cheery Lynn store for more options on the little stackers and LG nesting stackers and many more shaped dies. 

Over on the Challenge blog you still have time to enter into our challenge "Celebrations" Check out the blog for more details..

Other items used

Lilly of the Valley Stamps, Bo Bunny paper, Copics and card stock

The base has been cut using the biggest Heart Reflection Die which is 71/2 X 71/2 once cut. I then used one of the smaller dies in the kit to create a sort of frame around my image. The flowers I have distressed used DI's.  For the centres I have used the dimensional buttons which I have threaded with string. The Flowers are sitting both of the flourishes that have been cut from two different colours.  

Other items 

Magnolia Stamps, Eyelets, Copics, String and Seam Binding

I came across an awesome tutorial for this Criss Cross card.

You can find the link HERE.

I do have to warn you, I don't think the directions are very accurate.

After a few revisions, I came up with this lovely card to share today.

This card is one of those things that after I am done, I could kick myself for not writing down the dies I used as I was going along.

I will try my best to let you know all of the dies I used.  On the card base I used: 

ZIG ZAG RIC RAC, SWEDISH SPRING OVAL AND QUEEN ANNE'S LACE.

For the band around the card I used FRANCESCA BORDER, TIFFANY BORDER AND BORDER CARNIVALE.

The sentiment focal point attached to the band, I used the following dies:

SCALLOPED OVAL, MINI FLOURISH ONE, BUTTONS 1, BLACK EYED SUSANS EMBOSSING PLATE, MEDIUM ROSE AND MINIATURE ROSE.

Here is the card with the band removed, you can see the Criss Cross Base in back/

All the paper is the brand new line from Authentique Paper called: 

CAREFREE

I love the way this turned out and I think it would make a perfect Mother's Day card.
