Paper Shelter card

Hi Everyone !  This is a card that I made for the newest Paper Shelter challenge - Winter Blues.

School Project – Poem Page

Hi, here’s a poem that I wrote for a class project using

Angel Marci, Sitting Marci, and Mod Marci.

I realize that this may be hard to read so here it is in a different font if you're interested in reading it.

This is Where I’m From

I am from comedians,

from musicians and nerds though I would never tell them that personally.

I am from energetic ancestors,

that are imaginative, creative, and come up with the weirdest things.

I am from music and from art,

from the art on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

I am from academics,

from always being ahead no matter how many steps I’ve taken in the opposite direction.

I am from Christianity,

from sticking to what I know is right and avoiding what I know is wrong.

I am from wanting to be my own person and not being afraid to show who I am,

from never following the crowd.

I am from standing up for my beliefs,

from understanding others when nobody else will take the time to listen.

I am from believing that there’s always an answer and always a possibility,

from hope for the future and all that live after me.

Paper Shelter Mailbox

I made this mailbox for my mom’s birthday yesterday/ Valentines present.  I also had the newest Paper Shelter challenge in mind while making it.  It took me about three days and I think I threw away more roses than what actually ended up on the box but it turned out pretty well.

I colored up this cute swinging girl from The Paper Shelter and hung her from a tree limb (a sizzix die) and more smaller rolled roses.

Here’s a close-up of my rolled roses and leaves:

 

I'm entering it in the following challenges:

Inky Impressions Valentines Mailbox

Hi everyone!  This is a mailbox that I made today for the Inky Impressions “ 2 Ribbons “ challenge.

I also made 15 li’l valentines using a SVG set and mom’s cricut.  Well, mom cut them out and I sponged and cuttlebugged and decorated them.

Tomorrow we’re taking the mailbox and the valentines to the Ronald McDonald House and the kids in the hospital. The Ronald McDonald House provides a cheap stay for families who have young children in the hospital.

Here’s the backside of the mailbox.
