Candy Canes Save the Dates Photocards

Posted by: cherylsart1 on: November 17, 2009

I love the look of this candy cane design and made it into photocards.The shades of pink and blue in the placeholder for the photo are just part of the placeholder colors; they won’t show up once you change the image to your photo.

Easily customize the text details to your wedding.

Wedding Beach Scene stamps with umbrella

Posted by: cherylsart1 on: September 25, 2009

I’ve added an umbrella to the beach painting, and this time wrote the bride’s and groom’s names across the sand, and a place for their wedding date. The umbrella can be left in, removed, or replaced with your own image.
If you’d like to purchase these stamps with a different color umbrella, just let me know.

I’m on break, break time buttons

Posted by: cherylsart1 on: September 24, 2009

I received a request from my daughter for this one. Where she works, customers have to walk through the break room to get to the restroom. Although she might be eating or just relaxing, customers have been known to ask for her assistance while she’s on break. She figured with a little button announcing that she was on break would be helpful for her to enjoy more of her break.

What do you think? Would you wear a Break Time button?

Energy Saving Storm Door – Retractable Screen

Posted by: cherylsart1 on: September 24, 2009

Last year we purchased a Larson ScreenAway Storm Door; it has not only been an added convenience, it has also been beneficial in energy savings as well.

We used to have a storm door where the window had to be removed and stored, and replaced the window with a screen. I used to wait for what would seem like the most opportune time of the year to make the change, but I eventually just stopped changing it out. But then we purchased a Larson ScreenAway Storm Door and we were blessed with being able to enjoy warm breezes after the first frost by opening the screen part, and to shut out the cold night time air by closing the screen part.

Not only is the retractable screen storm door easy to use, it has cut down on our air conditioning and heating use. Since we can more easily take advantage of the pleasant temperatures outside, no matter what time of year it is, day or night, we’re using less electricity to heat and cool the house.

Check out the Larson ScreenAway Storm Door on Amazon.

Our Wedding Beach scene postage stamps

Posted by: cherylsart1 on: September 23, 2009

The painting of the beach scene has been completed and is now ready on ‘Our Wedding’ postage stamps.
For now, I decided to publish the beach scene without an umbrella. I am making the umbrella as a separate painting. The umbrella will be a two color theme. The first one will be white and aqua. Then if anyone would like the umbrella to be different colors, it will be easier to change. Then I will add the umbrella to the beach.
Any of the designs that I’ve painted are ready for you online at www.zazzle.com/CherylsArt*/

Add your photo to U.S. postage stamps

Posted by: cherylsart1 on: September 23, 2009

Photo’s on postage stamps are a great way to that very special personal touch. The look of a child when their photo goes out on the birthday invitations, or perhaps when the child has accomplished a milestone – such as graduation. The special photo of the engaged couple for their wedding announcements, invitations. The married couple celebrating their anniversary. The happy senior when they are ready to retire, and more. Here on add your photo stamps on Squidoo are a selection of frames to choose from that are already on the stamps. Select the frame of your choice, then replace the image holder with your family friendly photo.

Blessings

New wedding design by CherylsArt, a beach scene

Posted by: cherylsart1 on: September 17, 2009

This one is in the works, I started the basecoats while I was working on the Pumpkins in love design. Today, I fine tuned the colors and added dimension. The sky is a pale blue with a touch of white and lavender. The ocean is blue with aqua and gray, and white bluish waves. The sand is a light tan/off white with touches of tan and gray, with smooth wet sand turning into dry sand as you move towards land.

Right now, said painting is drying. The next step I plan to take is to paint a beach umbrella in the sand, two toned, with “Our Wedding” written in the foreground, over the sand.

I also might make it available without an umbrella too. We’ll see when it dries, and you can also let me know here in the comments section. Which do you prefer? – beach umbrella, or no beach umbrella. And if yes to the umbrella, what color(s) would you like it to be?

I was thinking of aqua and white, seems to go with the color scheme already there, but you can let me know what you think if you’d like something different. I’ll be sure to check here before starting the next step.

In the meantime, check out my other wedding designs at www.zazzle.com/CherylsArt*/ under the Product Lines – Wedding.

Thanks.

Pumpkins in Love Halloween Wedding Stamps

Posted by: cherylsart1 on: September 17, 2009

I was making my new lens on Squidoo on Halloween Stamps and decided to add a category for Halloween weddings. When I browsed the Halloween stamps on Zazzle, there didn’t seem to be too many wedding choices. So I decided to make a new one, with pumpkins in love.
I began with a browse of pumpkin images, looking for some with a little bit of lean to them. I wanted them to have a snuggle look as if they were leaning in to one another. Once I found two pumpkins that fit the bill, I did my drawing on a rough draft. Once I polished that up, I added their faces. To the male pumpkin, I gave arched eyebrows.  To the female, I gave slender eyebrows, and gave them both a crooked smile. Their stems are also green as they are still young. Then I enveloped them in a heart shaped pumpkin vine. Hope you enjoy pumpkins in love. Please leave a comment if you would like ‘pumpkins in love’ design on other products too.
Pumpkins in love is available with “Our Wedding” and they can also be customized with your own message. The font style and size can also be changed. Check them out at CherylsArt* on Zazzle.
