Just Delighted to be joining Lettering Delights!

I am so excited to finally let the cat out of the bag and share my exciting news. I have joined up with Lettering Delights (LD) and could not be more delighted. For those of you who are not familiar with Lettering Delights, it is an online craft-art retailer with an unbelievable supply of adorable, clever and stylish downloadable art for a variety of craft projects and a wide range of creative interests. I am constantly amazed at their latest collections and now I am lucky enough to be in their company with my first collection.

This first collection we will be doing together is a Halloween theme named Costume Clubhouse and it has some of your favorite characters along with fun new clubhouse members. There is plenty of art that is ready to print, cut and assemble and many other pieces that will give you hours of fun creating one of a kind projects from you own imagination.

LD is launching the program now and we have lots-o-art to provide you with to make your amazing creations. In fact, I now have my own name for my ideas and samples I will be sharing with you regularly here on the blog; that name is Sheri Berry Creations. You will start to recognize the logo as you become familiar with the button to the right which will direct you to the Lettering Delights site and onto my current collections with LD. This is what you will be looking for~

I will be sharing many project ideas on holiday decor; gifts to make and give in festive bags and boxes; party themes; and card making and scrapbooking ideas. I also have a special place in my heart for teachers and can’t think of a better way to show that appreciation than to have special projects with them in mind. I will have bulletin board ideas for the classroom as well as projects that teachers can do with their students.

I can’t get all of the ideas and projects into your hand right this minute, but will do my best to stay (as one blogger said) insanely prolific with Sheri’s Creations!

Costume Clubhouse is only the beginning of this exciting adventure with LD and I look forward to hearing from you and finding out what types of themes and projects you might like to see with Sheri’s Creations in the future, as I am eager for these creations to become your own. I say to you . . . print it, cut it, make it yours and get insanely prolific with your own creations.

When the Frost is on the Punkin

Celebrate this autumn season with a salute to James Whitcomb Riley and a cute tissue wrap, compliments of yours truly. Just download the label, print both labels on 8.5" x 11" paper, trim and attach to your oval Kleenex tissue box.

When I was in grade school and the season started to change into autumn we were given many poems to read and recite. One of my favorites was the poem by James Whitcomb Riley called “When the Frost is on the Punkin”. Here is a bit of the poem, which captures my mood and joy of this colorful season. You can read the entire poem here.

But the air’s so appetizin’; and the landscape through the haze

Of a crisp and sunny morning of the airly autumn days

Is a pictur’ that no painter has the colorin’ to mock~

When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock.

It seems fitting to appreciate the poem and it’s author this week, as James Whitcomb Riley was born on October 7, 1849. As you go through this week, take a few minutes to enjoy the crisp autumn air, and for those of you living in a cool enough climate, try to find that frost covered pumpkin in a patch nearby.

Above is a sample of the tissue label. Turn it into a fun, but useful gift to share with all of your friends who love this season as much as we do.

Toiletries for all you Mummies out there!

I never knew that toiletries could be so much fun, but sure enough they are. It’s time to grab a few rolls of toilet paper and buy that oval box of Kleenex tissues and get started with Halloween party planning.

I have a few Funday Freebies I want to share to start October off with a bang. It’s not too early to start thinking of the games and activities you will want to have at your halloween party and I have just the thing to get that party started. I have a Kleenex box label and toilet paper wrap for you to decorate your tissues for those little gobblins who come to the party.

Here is the mummy toilet paper label you can download (or go to the U-Pick button at the right) for the toilet tissue wraps. I have three wraps on an 11" x 17" format and you can print it, cut each one out and simply tape to the back of the rolls. Use the decorated mummy T.P. wrap for each of the teams when you play the wrap-a-mummy game. Here are a few mummy game ideas. You might even have a few wrapped and ready in the bathroom just in case the roll gets low. :)

And don’t let your party get a bad “wrap” with ordinary tissue boxes that can’t keep up with the fun. This adorable little mummy has you covered, or at least it will when you wrap those oval Kleenex tissue boxes in the label provided. There are two labels on an 8.5" x 11" format and you will need both to cover the box. Simply print it, cut each out along the edges, and tape one to each side of the oval box. I use double-stick tape, as it won’t show on the sides.

This is only the first layer of fun ideas and decorating tips I am unwrapping throughout the month of October. You and your mummy will want to check in every day to see what else Sheri-Boo-Berry has in store, and remember to get yourself and your peeps on FB and join the fun by “liking” my Sheri McCulley Studio page. There will be constant updates you won’t want to miss.

Okay, time to start planning your Halloween party. I think that about wraps it up. ;)

A Balancing Act for Freebie Funday!

This week I am giving away a card on the U-pick freebies that I designed last year with my daughter in mind. While away at college I thought it would be fun to send her and her besties a weekly postcard to have something in their snail mail to look forward to at the end of each week.

Shortly after the year got started I sent this card as a bit of encouragement. I thought many of you might have someone, whether away at school, or right at home who might be ready for a little pick-me-up message. So, just pick up the card from the U-pick button and share it with all your favorite students, or just click on this linky-dink and download away!

Print the card out on an 8.5" x 11 cardstock or index stock and trim into a postcard, or if you like a folded card to write inside, follow the trim and fold marks and put it in an A6 envelope (4.75" x 6.5").

As we all know, a little encouragement can go a long way!

Who-o-o’s ready for some freebies?

It finally feels like autumn, at least where I live, and with this new season comes a long-needed new addition to my blog. It comes in the form of FREE stuff. You will see a new button to the right reading “U-Pick, Free downloadables,” and once you click on it you will become a crazed berry-picking maniac, or at least in time you will get into the spirit of filling your basket with lots-o-Sheri Berry creations.

Since autumn is upon us I thought a good little giveaway starter would come in the form of these festive little owl treat tent cards. You can download either design or both and use them as holders for treats or even sized down as little placecards for guests at your harvest or Halloween parties.

Here are some previews of the projects. Use the link below to get the full-size images, ready for printing on an 8.5 x 14 sheet, complete with directions.

I have made two different styles--one for those who-o-o love autumn and harvest time, the other for you Halloween lovers. They are easy to print, cut, fold and glue, and come with a couple of tags to personalize for your recipients. I have included directions for each, and the only thing still needed is you . . . so get your crafting on and get into this crisp new season with a Sheri Berry owl card and “Sher” them with your peeps.
