QKR Stampede Challenge - Snowman or Snowflakes

Hello, everyone!

I hope all of you made it safely through the holidays and are relaxing at long last after all the hustle & bustle of the Christmas season!  And we are almost up to 2017 already!  Where did the year go?

For those of you who already have your tree down & have a bit of free time, the QKR Stampede challenge for this week is Snowman or Snowflakes.  Maybe you could make a cute winter card for someone (or even start on next year's cards!).  The QKR Store has tons of darling snowmen.  I chose Digi # 15903 Dancing Snowman for my card.

He has such a happy smile!  Apparently, he is thrilled with all this cold & snowy weather!  I'm sure the rest of us have a slightly different angle on this than he does!

Grab your supplies & see what you can come up with!  You could have some brand new digi stamps to play with for the new year!

See you soon!

QKR Stampede Challenge - Santa

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Since this will be my last post before the big day, I want to wish everyone a fabulous holiday!  I hope you all get to enjoy the holiday surrounded by those you love & wish all of you safe travels if you have to go out of town to do that!  This will be my first Christmas as a Nebraska resident!  What a relief not to have to worry about driving three hours to spend the holidays with my daughter anymore!  As many of you know, we can post these to our blogs ahead of time & simply schedule the day they will appear.  We are having our first snowfall here right now (December 3rd) and while it is beautiful to look at, I'm hoping it will be weeks before we see another one!  I have never been a fan of winter! ha ha  Give me a beautiful spring or summer day any time!

The theme for this weeks QKR Stampede challenge is "Santa" which should make it really easy for you!  I chose Digi # 5201 - Santa Bear's List for my card.

It looks like "Santa" is checking his list to see who gets the good stuff & who gets coal!  I hope all of you get the "good" stuff!  Merry Christmas, everyone!  And don't forget what this season is really in celebration of!

Catch you next week!

Dies R Us Challenge - Snow

Hello, friends!

Well, it's that time of year again & I'm guessing that many of you have already had that dreaded first snowfall!  I'm tired of the cold & cloudy days already & counting the days until spring arrives!  Winter is NOT my favorite season!  Lol

The challenge theme for the Dies R Us Challenge Blog today is "Snow"....you may post anything relating to snow....snowmen, snowflakes, etc. etc.  but you must use a die in your entry.  I chose two of my favorites from Precious Marieke:  Snowflake Corner & Snowflake Circle.  The darling snowman is a digi from Sassy Cheryl.

Be sure to head over to the Dies R Us Daily Inspiration Blog too!  And, of course, don't forget the incredible & amazing Dies R Us Store!  The largest selection of dies anywhere!

Good luck, everyone!  I know the winner will have fun choosing new dies with the gift voucher.
I'll see you back soon!

QKR Stampede Challenge - Non-Traditional Colors

Hello, again!

It's getting closer & closer to that big day & I hope you are well ahead on your shopping & card making!  I'm a bit behind, but I guess that is to be expected with the move.  The good news is that I work well under pressure!  ha ha

The QKR Stampede challenge for today is to make a Christmas card using non-traditional colors.  I started by chosing this adorable Eureka digi # 3006 - Polar Bear Present and then pulling out the boxes of Christmas paper in my closet.  Yes....BOXES!  Christmas has always been my most favorite holiday and I cannot walk past a sale on Christmas paper without stopping.  And once I do, at least one 12 X 12 pad finds it's way into my cart!  I am so proud of myself though!  Since the move to Lincoln, I have not purchased a single sheet of paper of ANY kind, which is a record for me! I think the boxes & boxes of paper the movers unloaded was my "ah hah" moment and I realized just how much paper I had been hoarding.

Back to the challenge!  Here is my take on non-traditional.

I grabbed one of my Memory Box dies (Hanover Snowflake) and cut two of them & layered them for extra dimension.  I also went over the entire bear with Wink of Stella for some added sparkle, although it doesn't show up well here.

Head on over to the QKR Stampede blog and submit YOUR entry!  It's a great way to add to your card stash and be entered for a chance to win some adorable digi stamps at the same time!

Happy Crafting!

QKR Stampede Challenge - Angels

Hi, gals!

I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving!  Are you still too full from all the turkey & stuffing? I promise myself every year that I won't eat so much and then it starts coming out of the oven & you smell it ........I guess we are all allowed one day a year to just indulge!

The QKR Stampede challenge for today is "Angels" and I have chosen a really cute image for a thank you card.  Digi # 13007 Helping Hands.

Check out all the cute digi stamps at QKR Stampede or choose your own favorite angel image! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Hugs,

QKR Stampede Challenge - Give Thanks!

I'm back!!

For those of you who have wondered where my usual Friday QKR Stampede post has been for the past couple of weeks, I have been moving from Iowa to Lincoln, Nebraska!  What an adventure! After living in the same house for over 41 years, there was a lot of "stuff" that needed to be packed & moved or discarded or donated.  Made me wish I had taken my daughter's advice years ago to purge everything you haven't used in a year!  ha ha

This week's challenge is "Give Thanks" and is a fitting one for me!  I am really giving thanks for the loyal friends who helped me pack & move, especially Gail!  I don't know how I would have done it without all her help!  And then, of course, there was my own family who helped me unpack & put all of my "stuff" away!  I have been truly blessed!

I'm LOVING my new place!  Everything is on one floor & my craft room is gigantic! And even better, it opens onto a sunroom where I can relax between cards once the weather improves.

My digi image for today is #14515-Hunting Turkey.  I'm guessing among the things he is thankful for is the second ammendment!  ha ha

My new place is in a park-like setting with tons of Canadian Geese.  They tell me there are also deer and fox, but I haven't seen either of those yet!

Thanks for checking in & waiting until I was back!  I've REALLY missed posting!

Dies R Us Challenge - Tags (for anything)

Hello, friends!

Are you ready to start thinking of Christmas?  Well, it is never too early and if you are, then you may also be thinking about creating some gorgeous gift tags for all those presents under the tree!  The theme this week is tags and while you can choose any type, I decided to go with Christmas tags.

The dies I used were the following:  Memory Box Cross Stitched Frame Borders and Tutti Scrolly Deer Edge.  I cut both from glitter cardstock.


I'm going to keep this post short because I am in the process of moving!  What an adventure!  And what a LOT of work!  I'll be moving to Lincoln, Nebraska where my daughter & her family live.

Head on over to Dies R Us and join in the challenge with something of your own & you may be the lucky winner of a gift voucher to the fabulous store!

See you soon!

QKR Stampede Challenge # 215 - Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Thought I would say that a couple of days early as I'm not sure I will be able to post on the actual day.   A lot of things have been happening and I am actually moving to Nebraska to live!  So, in case I am busy packing (or moving) Happy Halloween!

My card for today uses digi # 14314 Riding.  There is no cuter little witch anywhere!

If you haven't already finished all your Halloween cards, come join the challenge for you chance to win some fabulous digi stamps!

Try not to eat too much candy!

QKR Stampede Challenge # 214 - Wild West

Hi, everyone!

Grab your cowboy hat & get ready for this week's wild, wild west theme! Head over to the QKR Stampede store for one of the darling images we carry!  I chose digi # 16007 Pony Express for my card today.  He was too cute to pass up, and what says the wild west better than the pony express!

This image would be perfect for a guy's birthday card wouldn't it?  And we all know how hard those are to make!

Hope your weekend will be fantastic! Enjoy the weather while it holds!  Old man winter will be here all too quickly!

Dies R Us Challenge - Fall

Hello, again!

Well, it's the 15th of the month again & time for another fun & fabulous challenge at Dies R Us Challenge Blog!  This time the theme is "Fall" and what a great theme for this time of year! The store is just filled to capacity with all kinds of wonderful fall & Halloween related dies!  As you know, our business has expanded so greatly that we even had to move to a bigger location where we can offer you even MORE fantastic dies!

For my contribution this time, I pulled out a lot of my favorite dies & just "played" with them!
It's amazing what you can come up with when you just let your imagination go!

Here are the dies I used!               Impression Obsession Cat Set

                                                      Memory Box Grand Forest Archway

                                                      Impression Obsession Leaf Cluster

                                                      Impression Obsession Bushel of Apples

                                                      Poppy Stamps Rustic Wagon

This looks exactly like my front yard (minus the wagon & apples).  The leaves have been falling since September & the sad thing is NONE of them are from a tree in MY yard!  The neighbor has a huge tree in his parking & it drops something all year long! Seeds, pods, leaves....it never ends! And because of it's location, none of them drop in HIS yard!  And none of my friends will park close to it because of the birds that sit in it all day!  ha ha  

Head on over to the Dies R Us Challenge Blog & see what you can enter for a chance to win a gift certificate to the amazing store! 

See you soon!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

QKR Stampede Challenge # 213 - Pumpkins

Happy Friday!

Are you ready for a fun weekend?  I certainly am! I'm hoping to get together with my sister, who is flying in.  We haven't seen each other for over a year & we are both ready to party!

Today's QKR Stampede challenge is anything with pumpkins!  A perfect theme for this time of the year!  I'm sure all of you have tons of pumkin stamps & dies! Drag them all out & get your creative juices going! You could be the big winner this week!

I chose digi # 9206 Autumn Friends for my card.  Loved the cute scarecrow friends & couldn't pass them up!

If you haven't been to QKR Stampede or it has been awhile since you visited, head on over.  They have lots of darling images & I think you will find something perfect for any theme!

Enjoy the weekend!  Catch you later!

QKR Stampede Challenge # 212- Autumn Leaves

Hello, again!

Today's challenge at QKR Stampede is a perfect one for this time of the year!  I don't know about where you live, but on my street, the leaves are already starting to turn...and to FALL!  So grab your supplies & see what you can come up with & join our weekly challenge!  Here is mine post for today!  I used digi # 18806 Scarecrow & Leaves, added a couple of fun dies & he was ready to go!

You may not be able to see it, but both the pumpkins and the leaves have stitching. And, of course, no image is complete without a coat of Wink of Stella!

Enjoy your weekend!  And enjoy the fall colors while they last!  We are supposed to have an early winter!

QKR Stampede Weekly Challenge # 211 - Cut It Up! (Cutting, punches or dies)

Hello, gals!

Can you believe it is not only the end of the week, but the last day of September?  Where did the summer go!  Guess we have to enjoy the next month before the weather starts to cool & winter comes sliding in again.  I guess it was a good choice on my part to do a Christmas card for this weeks challenge!  ha ha  Once I saw this digi, I just HAD to have it!  This little charmer is digi # 35403 Holly Moose!  Have you ever seen a moose this much into the holiday spirit before?

Since the challenge was to also use either punches or dies, I grabbed for my favorite dies, Frantic Stamper Holly Card Band & Cherry Lynn Holly Corner.  They just seemed the perfect compliment to this little guy and the holly paper.

I also made this card with the same stamp & paper.  Love, love, love this image!

Grab your favorite stamps, dies or punches & see what you can come up with for your entry!

Enjoy your weekend!

QKR Stampede Challenge # 210 - Embossing of Any Kind

Friday greetings!

You survived another week & have a weekend ahead to unwind!  Yea!!  Hopefully, you will have some time during the weekend to work on a card for this weeks challenge!  The challenge this time is "Embossing of Any Kind!"  You can dry emboss or grab your powders and heat emboss.  The choice is yours!  I went with dry embossing for this digi # 16403 Caroling Bunnies.

Aren't they a cute couple?  Looks like they are singing their little hearts out!

Ok, grab your supplies & see what you can come up with.  The winner will get your choice of some fabulous digi stamps!  And you can NEVER have too many digi stamps!  Especially those as cute as this!

Have a great weekend!  Catch you later!

QKR Stampede Challenge # 209 - Anything Goes

Hello, friends!

Happy Weekend!  I'm ready to kick back & get with friends....how about you?  Of course, that always involves lunch and stamping!  It's wonderful to have crazy friends who share all your addictions, isn't it?  ha ha

Since the theme this week is "Anything Goes", I decided that it was a good time to work on my Christmas cards .  Especially once I found this darling Christmas image of cats!  This is digi # 34801 - Xmas Kitties from Eureka Stamps.  I added a Poppy Stamps Stitched Holly Border to the bottom.

This many cats would be my idea of the PURR-FECT Christmas present!  If I had more money & a bigger house, I would be the neighborhood "crazy cat lady" for sure!

Can't wait to see what you come up with!  Remember ANYTHING goes!  Pick your favorite subject or make that card you have to get ready for the next birthday.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Dies R Us Challenge - County Fair

Hello, gals!

Are you ready to join in the latest Dies R Us Challenge?  The theme this time is "County Fair" and I can't wait to see all the fabulous cards that everyone will come up with!  Add your card & show us what your favorite part of the fair is and you could be the lucky winner of a gift voucher to our incredible store!  We have grown so much we even had to move to a larger building!  If you haven't checked out all the goodies there lately, you will be amazed at all the different companies you can find there now!

Here is my card for this fun challenge!  I used the following dies to make it:  La-La Land random Flags W/Hearts Banner, Impression Obsession Country Fences, Amy Design Cows.  The image is from Sassy Cheryl.

I have to say my favorite part of any county fair was always the animals and the food!  ha ha Not a surprise to anyone who knows me at all!  I used to love the rabbits most of all....the huge ones with the long, long ears were just so gorgeous! And some of the chickens were incredible as well.  I'm a sucker for about any critter.  Throw in a day of eating all things "fried" and on a stick & I'm in!

Catch you later!

Not Feeling Beary Good?

Hi, friends!

I hope you are enjoying your weekend!  It has really cooled down here in Iowa!  A sure sign that fall is on the way!

As promised yesterday, I have a get well card to share today.  The stamp is from an Inky Antics Get Well set that I love!  Does anyone still use hot water bottles anymore?  I remember Mom had one & once in awhile when we were little she would fill it with warm water & put it in bed with us when we were sick.

The die behind my oval is Sue Wilson's Eternal Rings.  My friend Karal had given me a handful of these and I loved it so much I just ordered my own this morning!  What would we do without friends!

I'll be back again soon with some more catch up cards!

Sherri

Catch Up Time!

Hello, everyone!

I hope you are having a great week!  I've been missing in action for several days, but only because I took a trip to see my daughter & her family.   I had a great time & it's always hard to say goodbye and hit the road to come home.   I've also been working on finishing up cards for an upcoming craft show.  I just finished my 400th card!  It's a small show, though, so I know there is a good chance I will be bringing most of them home.  After taking counts yesterday, I decided to work on the categories I had the fewest cards done.  Hence, the anniversary cards to follow!

Tattered Lace Lacy Layers Squares for this lavender card.

Tutti Butterfly Oval for this pink card.

 Again using the Butterfly oval combined with an embossing folder.

A Poppy Stamps Daphne Bloom for the red card.  It's hard to see the stitching on the flower against the red.

I'll be back tomorrow with a get well card!  Until then, enjoy your weekend!

QKR Stampede Challenge #208 - Fall Colors

Hello, again!

Ready to celebrate the long week being over ?  Me too!  It's starting to feel more & more like fall isn't it?  So today's theme of "Fall Colors" is perfect! I grabbed a cute digi # 21901 "Boy & Cat In Pumpkins" from Eureka Stamps for this one.   I added a Simon Says Stamp Maple Leaf Corner & some Wink of Stella for accent.

We can all use Thanksgiving or Halloween cards that would fulfill the "fall colors" for this week's challenge, so grab your supplies & see what you can come up with!

Enjoy your weekend!
Sherri

A new favorite!

Hello, friends!

Are you enjoying your long weekend?  I certainly am!  It's always nice to have some time to play with new toys and besides the ones I shared yesterday, I also got a gorgeous Tutti Butterfly Oval die, which is now my new "favorite" (at least for the moment!).  I can see this as a birthday card, get well card, thinking of you card, sympathy card....the list is endless!   I decided to combine it with a Sue Wilson noble Collection - Ornate Pierced Design die and create a shaped card for a change.

I did it in soft aqua first & loved it so much I grabbed some pale pink and made another!

I'm on a roll now!  Lol!  I can see this in every color of the rainbow, can't you?

I hope wherever you are the weather is great, especially if you are doing any camping or outdoor activities!  Our rain is supposed to be "spotty" here today, but gone by tomorrow.   Hopefully, there won't be any more earthquakes anywhere!  According to the news, Oklahoma had one yesterday that was felt in Omaha, Nebraska!  That's getting a little close for comfort as they are just 90 miles away!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend whatever you are doing!  We won't have much of this gorgeous weather left!

Sherri

More Christmas!

Happy Saturday!

Are you ready to enjoy the long weekend?  Me too!  It's hard to believe that this weekend signifies the last long weekend of summer.  Where did it go?  And if the Farmer's Almanac can be believed, we are in for an early winter & an unusually cold & snowy one. YUK!

I guess making Christmas cards will just get me in the mood for the season's change.  I got a couple of new Tutti dies the other day & am madly in love with both!  I particularly love the Snowflake Corner  die!  When I ordered them, I thought it would be the Snowflake Circle die that would be my favorite.  Here are the cards I have come up with so far & I have tons of ideas running round my head yet!

Enjoy your weekend!  If it includes some "me" time to work on some cards or crafts, all the better!

QKR Stampede Challenge # 207

Happy Friday!

Are you ready for a really fun challenge today?  The theme for today gives you LOTS of opportunity to really get creative!  Today's theme is a "Recipe- 1 Digi Image, 2 Design Papers, & 3 Embellishments!"  Just let your creative juices go wild on this one!  I certainly did!  I started with one of the cutest images I've seen in ages, Digi # 30101 Bundled Up Moose.  This is from Eureka Stamps, a sister company to QKR Stampede.

Don't you just love his leg warmers!  I had such fun with this image!  See what you can come up with!  Although I went with a Xmas theme, you can do literally anything that trips your fancy!

I also made a couple other cards with this adorable guy.

 For some reason, the red foil on this candy cane caught the light & the reflection makes it appear half green.  In person, it is your standard red & white cane!

Don't you just love this little guy!

Have a great weekend!
Sherri

Happy "Bird-day" to you!

Hello, again!

As promised, I'm back with a fast birthday card this morning!  I couldn't pass up the new Tutti Bird Branch Chorus die.  I'm not sure who else is singing with him since he is the only bird in view, but apparently he has a full crew of backup singers!  ha ha   I added some flower punches to my corners from one of my old punches for some added interest.

This makes a really quick card!  A good die to have on hand for those "oops!" moments when you realize you need a birthday card & forgot to make one!

I hate the fact that the sun is setting earlier these days & the air has that "fall" feel to it!  I am NOT a fan of winter!  HATE everything about it!  And I'm praying the Farmer's Almanac is wrong in their forecast!!  They are saying below average temperatures & above average snow ....all beginning earlier than normal!  Hopefully, those fuzzy little worms they study were all going thru menopause and having hot flashes & that threw off their predictions!  Lol!

Back to my de-cluttering!

Sherri

Pumpkins

Happy Monday!

Are you ready to start the week off full of vim & vigor, or are you wishing you could roll back over & go back to bed?  If it is the latter, I hope you are retired & can do just that!  ha ha

I always like to try new things & when a friend told me about the Cutting Cafe and all the cute cards you could get, I had to check it out.  I don't have a machine that cuts things out like many of you do, but she assured me I could still cut them out by hand.   Well, maybe it depends on what you choose for a pattern, but I obviously chose something too detailed.  After struggling to cut out the base of a card that was supposed to have a trio of darling pumpkins on it, I finally gave up & just grabbed the pumpkins & made a couple of cards with them.  All in all, they turned out pretty cute once I added a maple leaf corner die to the mix!

 I left the inside of the first card blank to use as a note card.

The second card I made into a Thanksgiving card.  I think the "faux" stitching around everything helped them a lot.

I'll be back tomorrow with a birthday card & then I plan to spend a few days trying to de-clutter my craft area.  I have gotten to that point where I just have no choice but to weed some things out!  How do we collect so much STUFF!  I could craft for years & not buy another thing except adhesive.

Enjoy your week!

QKR Stampede Challenge # 206 - Keep Your Eye on The Ball

Hello, again!

Can you believe August is almost over?  I chose the digi stamp # 24123 - Touchdown for my post today.  Football season is about here and this little duck is already practicing his touchdown moves!

Head on over to QKR Stampede & join the latest challenge!  There are tons of darling digi images that would fit the challenge "Keep Your Eye on the Ball"- any sport that uses a ball.

Have fun this weekend!

The beat goes on....

Hello, friends!

Well, the Halloween beat goes on yet!  I had limited time to work on cards today as I had errands to run this morning & a haircut this afternoon.  I did manage to get 2 very simple cards done.  Both were made with old Stampin Up stamps.

Hope you are all enjoying a great week!  I'll be back tomorrow with our usual QKR Stampede weekly challenge!   Stay tuned for your chance to win some free digi stamps!

Sherri

Halloween continues....

Happy Hump Day!

Another week half over!  Time just goes so quickly any more!

I only have 2 cards to share today.  I know,  I'm slacking off!  But in my defense, I had an appointment this morning & had lunch with a friend.  And just after I got home, we had a horrible thunder storm come through which dropped over 2.5 inches of rain!  Lots of lightening & thunder! I stayed downstairs to comfort poor Brady who usually hides under the bed.

Here are the two Halloween cards I did manage to make after everything quieted down.

This little Dracula cat is a Penny Black stamp.  I added black Stickles to his cape & sprinkled glitter over that.  Now I just have to remember not to touch it until it dries!  Lol

This little cutie was made with a clearance stamp I got at a sale years ago & there is no name on it.

I'll see how much progress I can make tomorrow!

Enjoy your day!

Halloween Cuties

Hello, again!

I hope your weekend was as enjoyable as mine!  I got to spend some much needed time with my daughter & her family.  It is always time that goes way too quickly!

I spent today working on Halloween cards (and finishing one last Christmas card).  It just dawned on me that Halloween is not that far away & my stash of cards was down to 18.   I managed to get 5 done today & am happy with all of them.  Pulled out some of my favorite stamps & dies & spent the day coloring & cutting.  My favorite kind of day!  Here is what I came up with.  All of the stamps were from Penny Black, except the 2 cats in hats & scarves.  Those were an old stamp from Plum Purdy.

I'll be working on Halloween for a few days until I can get my stash built up again so be prepared for more!

Enjoy your week!

Sherri

Christmas Kitties!

Hello, everyone!

While I was cleaning yesterday, I came across a set of stamps that my daughter had given me a couple months ago.  The set is all cats in Christmas settings & I had put it away when I got home & promptly forgotten it because I wasn't making Christmas cards yet.  Imagine my excitement when I came across it!  It was like getting the gift all over again!  ha ha  I should have left it out on my desk!

I only had time to work on one of the images today but did end up with 2 cards.

I used the same paper for both, although my editing seems to have changed the color on the top card to a darker shade.  For the first card I used Spellbinders Reflective Moment to cut it out.

For the second card, I used Joy Craft Square 6002/0147, one of my favorite dies.  (Stop laughing, Gail!)  ALL of them aren't my favorites, just most of them!   They are like children...I love them all! ha ha

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Sherri

Flower Power!

Hi, friends!

I hope you are enjoying your weekend as much as I am enjoying mine!  I'm getting some much needed family time and life doesn't get better than that!

Since I got that new Tattered Lace die the other day, I have been having such fun with it!  I grabbed it this afternoon to do a quick "Hello" card and a birthday card.  I love flowers & don't do enough of them.  I decided to pull out an old Stampin Up set for the Hello card & an Inky Antics set for the birthday card.  I popped up both centers with pop dots to add extra dimension.

Both cards had a heavy coat of Wink of Stella, of course!  You have to have sparkle!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
