Udderly exhausted?

Hello, everyone!

As promised, here is another stamp from the Stamping Up set of yesterday.  Isn't he adorable? And the sentiment with him is just perfect!

I used a Lifestyle Nesting Doily Rectangle set to frame him.

Be sure to stop in tomorrow for our first of the month Dies R Us challenge and our weekly Friday QKR Stampede challenge.

Are Ewe doing ok?

Happy Hump Day!

What a fun get well card this is!  It's from an old, old Stamping Up set I've had for years.  I love the sentiment with it and the image is really a quick one to color up.

This one is framed with my favorite die.  It's a Joy Craft Square. I have another stamp from this set that I will share tomorrow.

Hugs,
Sherri

Lavender wishes

Hello, friends!

Today's card is a Power Poppy stamp! I've had this set for a long time & use it a lot.  It makes a perfect get well card.

I love lavender and this is such a quick & easy card to color up.  Tomorrow I'll be back with a fun get well card.

Hugs,
Sherri

Up, up and away!

Happy Monday!

Another fun birthday card to share today.  This was another cute stamp given to me so I don't know whose it is.  But it was too cute not to color up & share.

I have a really pretty get well card to share tomorrow.

Hugs,
Sherri

Pretty in purple!

Hello!

What a fun stamp this was to color!  I'm not sure where the stamp came from as it was a gift from someone.

I'll see you tomorrow with a fun birthday card.

Hugs,
Sherri

Time to golf!

Hi, there!

This cute little guy is from Art Impressions and another I've had for years.  I paper pieced the knickers he is wearing to match the plaid paper behind him.

This card would be great for any guy who spends his weekends golfing!

See you tomorrow!

Sherri

QKR Stampede Challenge - Anything Goes

Happy Friday!

We have all probably looked at stamps & passed them by and then wondered why in the world we didn't color them up earlier! That was the case with this great one!  I thought it would make a great guy birthday card, but was blown away by how much I loved it once it was done!  Wish I had colored him up ages ago!  This is Cheetah #24308.

This just screams guy card to me!  Nothing frilly, no flowers, just a manly image! ha ha

Grab your favorite stamps & join the fun.  The winner will get their choice of some great digi stamps!

Hugs,
Sherri

I love you a "lotte"

Hi, there!

Are you a coffee lover too?  My day is not complete without at least 3 cups!  I usually drink decaf so I'm hoping that is better for me! 

When I saw this cute Stamping Bella stamp, I just had to get it! Perfect birthday card for a cofee lover!

I framed it with a Lifestyle Nesting Scallop Rectangle and added a Poppy Stamps Dogwood Blossom Corner to two sides.

Be sure to stop in tomorrow for our weekly QKR Stampede challenge!

Purple bunnies!

Happy Hump Day!

Maybe I shouldn't have titled this post as purple bunnies!  ha ha  THEY aren't purple, but the backgrounds are!  As I promised yesterday, these are 2 more bunnies done with Sassy Cheryl's digi.

What a difference a change of dies makes!  The card on the left was framed with a Spellbinders (Amazing Paper Grace) Cascading Grace die and the card to the right was done with a Marianne Design Circle Frame.

Back tomorrow with a cute Stamping Bella card!

Hugs,
Sherri

Bunnies at their cutest!

Hello, friends!

Yes, I know that Easter has come & gone, but I've done so many Easter cards that I still have a ton to share with you.  Pretend that the big day hasn't come and passed already or better yet, keep the ideas for your own Easter cards next year!

This darling bunny is a Sassy Cheryl digi!  I fell in love with it the minute I saw it!  The card on the left is framed in a Spellbinders Reflective Moment frame and the bunny on the right was framed with a Sue Wilson Austrian Collection Background.

I had so much fun with this stamp that I made 2 more cards I will share tomorrow.

Hugs,
Sherri

A birdie told me it was your birthday!

Happy Monday!

Are you ready for a sweet birthday card?  This is a Wild Rose Studio stamp and it too was a gift from my same wonderful friend!  I'm so blessed to have her in my life!

Don't you love this image?  And it could easily be used for an anniversary card too!

I'll see you tomorrow with some cute bunnies!

Hugs,
Sherri

Thank you!

Hello, again!

Today I'm sharing a simple thank you.  It was made with a My Favorite Things stamp and I used a Cheapo die Cross Stitched Oval to frame it.

Isn't she sweet?  She was a birthday gift from a dear friend.  I'll be back tomorrow to share another stamp she gave me too!

Hugs,
Sherri

Cats in hats!

Happy Saturday!

I'm sure you all think of Dr. Seuss when you think of a cat in a hat, but these too "foxy" ladies are so much cuter! 

This darling image was a gift from a dear friend.  It's a Loralie stamp and no longer available.  I first saw it when she sent it to me as a birthday card several years ago & I've been in love with it since! Although my cat Brady would look silly in a girl's hat, you have to admit that these two charmers are just adorable! I framed them in Lifestyle Nesting Doily Squares.

See you tomorrow with a thank you card!

Hugs,
Sherri

A birthday cat!

Hello, again!

I've had this silly cat stamp from Stamps Happen, Inc. for years & years.  Just something about him that always makes me laugh! He seems to be totally prepared for the birthday doesn't he?  Not only a cupcake, but chocolate cake & carrot cake along with gifts and a card!

What a great friend he is!  Ready to party right now in his party hat!

Be sure to check in tomorrow for our weekly QKR Stampede challenge!

Hugs,
Sherri

Wishing you a day bright with sunshine!

Happy Hump Day, everyone!

Are you ready for a really cheerful birthday card?  Well, I think I have just the thing! A dear, dear friend sent me this beautiful Amy Design Butterfly Swirl Frame for my birthday & I just adore it!

Isn't this a great frame!  I grabbed a Cheery Lynn exotic butterfly to go with it. I love anything with butterflies! 

See you tomorrow with a silly cat!

Polka Dot Get Well

Happy Monday, everyone!

We all need get well cards and I decided to go with some of my favorite paper & do a polka dot card. I cut the sentiment from the same paper and it shows up well in real life, but may be harder to see in the photo.

I decided to go with polka dot flowers as well.  This is a Sue Wilson Petite Peony Cluster die. It makes a great accent on any card.

Join me tomorrow for our Dies R Us Challenge of the 15th!

Hugs,
Sherri

Get Well Soon!

Hi, everyone & Happy Mother's Day!

Have you ever had a fever and wanted something really cold.....ice cream or maybe a popcycle?  It looks like Sally is helping her poor little buddy fight his temperature!  Sure looks like they are best of friends, doesn't it?

I hope her homegrown remedy will have him fit as a fiddle in no time!

Hopefully, you all have something fun planned with your family for today.  After church, we are all going to the Venue for Mother's Day brunch!  I can't wait! My mouth is watering already! Their food is undeniably the best in Lincoln! I'm sure I will eat my entire day's points there, but it will be worth it! I'm so glad I moved to Lincoln so I can spend days like this with my daughter & her family!



Hugs,
Sherri

St. Pat's Day!

Hi, there!

Yes, I know St. Patrick's Day is over, but this Sassy Cheryl digi was just too cute not to color up! It certainly looks like he has already found his pot of gold!  Having a cute little kitty friend to help doesn't hurt either!

I'll see you tomorrow with a cute get well card.

Hugs,
Sherri

QKR Stampede Challenge - Anything Goes

Happy Friday, everyone!

Well, you survived the week and you are on the home stretch toward a great weekend!  Hopefully, that will include some time to enter today's QKR Stampede challenge.  The winner will win some awesome digi stamps!  Free stamps are always a good thing!!

For my card today, I decided to go with a cute crow .  This is Break Time digi # 11302 & I thought it would make a great guy card.

I went with bright primary colors and threw in some wheat dies from Impression Obsession.
He certainly looks like he is enjoying his break! I'm not sure what he will smell like when it's over, however....I doubt the fat little pig he is laying on smells like flowers!

Grab your favorite stamps & join in the fun!

Hugs,
Sherri

Get well soon!

Hi, again!

I fell in love with this Sassy Cheryl image the minute I saw it.  I knew it would be perfect for a get well card! 

I printed the image on the polka dot paper & then fussy cut it out and shaded it.  I love adding background papers to my images to tie them all together!

See you tomorrow with our weekly QKR Stampede challenge!

Hugs,
Sherri

Oh, what a sweet scene you have created! This is such a fun card to send someone! Thanks for joining our weekly challenge at QKR Stampede!

More birthdays!

Happy Hump Day!

If you love happy critters the way I do, you will adore today's card!  This Sassy Cheryl's digi just made me smile!  He is obviously laughing hard & I'm guessing it is all the little lady bugs crawling all over him.  I'm sure they tickle!

I hope everyone is this happy on their birthday!  Changing gears & tomorrow we have a get well card.

Hugs,
Sherri

Celebrate!!

Hello, friends!

Here we are with another darling Sassy Cheryl image for today!  Can you see why I am so addicted to her images now?  There is never a bad one!

I love her enthusiasum!  You just know she has waited a whole year for her birthday and is ready to PARTY! 

Another birthday card!

Happy Monday!

Hope your week is off to a fabulous start!  Don't you love the warmer weather?  I've never been a fan of winter and this year's was especially frigid!

Don't you adore this cute digi from Sassy Cheryl?  Her images are the cutest out there! I think I have the majority of them already!

I'll see you tomorrow with another of her digi images!

Hugs,
Sherri

The only trouble with retirement.....

Hi, again!

Well, a lot of people retire during the summer months when the weather starts warming up and they realize how much they want to stay home & enjoy it.  So with that in mind, I made a retirement card.

I loved the sentiment on this one.  But, actually there really isn't anything bad about retirement! It leaves you free to do whatever you want every day of the week! For me, that is making cards.

I'm hoping someone will need a retirement card at the next craft show.  I wish I knew someone retiring soon.  The only gal I know who is thinking about it will probably still be thinking about it a year from now.  She is too afraid to make the leap!

See you tomorrow!
Hugs,
Sherri

Howdy!

Hello, gals!

I know you don't see me post a lot of things with orange as the primary color, but lately I've really taken a liking to it for some weird reason.  This cute gal is from All Dressed Up and I just couldn't pass her up.

I love her sunglasses! Looks like she is ready to go on a walk with her favorite buddy! What a cute way to say happy birthday to a young gal!  And, of course, adding my favorite gingham paper to her just made it even better!

See you tomorrow with a cute puppy!

Hugs,
Sherri

Have a comfy birthday!

Happy Saturday!

Today I have a great Sassy Cheryl image to share.  I love this one! What a perfect way to spend a lazy birthday relaxing with a bowl of chips, a good book & your puppy!

I used a Lifestyle Nesting Doily Square to cut her out.  It's one of my favorite dies & I've had it since I first starting collecting dies.

I have another Sassy Cheryl digi tomorrow.

Hugs,
Sherri

Happy Birthday!

Hello, again!

As promised, here is another cute Penny Black stamp that I grab a lot.  The sentiment inside this one says "Have an udderly wonderful birthday!" 

This happy little guy is sure to lift anyone's spirits as high as the balloons are taking him!

See you tomorrow for the weekly QKR Stampede challenge.

Hugs,
Sherri

Happy Birthday to "Moo!"

Happy Hump Day!

I've been making birthday cards lately and pulling out a bunch of old stamps from my stash!  This stamp is a Penny Black I've had for years.  It's such a fun stamp I have always loved it.

I have tons of cow sentiments.  I know, that's not a statement you hear often do you?  But I've always loved cows and every time I found a cow sentiment I picked it up. 

I'll be back tomorrow with another cow card.

Hugs,
Sherri

Dies R Us Challenge - Flowers

Hello, friends!

Are you ready for May to arrive?  Me too!  I'm hoping the April showers will be producing lots of May flowers as the old ryhmn goes. I'm ready for flowers!

Today's challenge is "Flowers" and boy did I have a lot of ideas for this one!  Finally decided on a cute basket filled with flowers as my post.  Love the way it turned out!

How cute is this!  LOVE the flowers!  Wouldn't it be fun to get a basket like this one filled with REAL flowers!  Here are the dies I used: Spellbinders Elegant Ovals, Impression Obsession Foliage,
Impression Obsession Spiral Flowers, Impression Obsession Spiral Daisy, and Memory Box Woven Basket.  

The link to our challenge is here!  And the link to the fabulous Dies R Us store is here!  Treat yourself to some new dies!  But I warn you, it won't be easy to decide on which ones to get because their selection is so enormous!
