King for a day!

Hi, there!

If you need a cute kid's card, this Stamping Bella is just perfect! He has apparently decided that a crown would be the perfect birthday hat!

See you tomorrow with a cute get well card.

Hugs,
Sherri

You make the world a better place!

Happy Monday!

What a fun way to start the week off.  I adore this Stamping Bella bunny pile! And the sentiment is perfect for a thank you card.  Or a birthday card too. 

I love this image! And adding the beautiful floral paper behind just seemed the perfect backdrop.

Join me tomorrow for a cute child's birthday card!

Hugs,
Sherri

Memories are treasures!

Hi, all!

I have a gorgeous sympathy card to share today.  I used my favorite sympathy sentiment for the front and added a new lace edge.

I added a Joy Craft Net Edger with Flowers to the bottom.  Stop back tomorrow for a cute thank you.

Hugs,
Sherri

Sound the alarm!

Hello, everyone!

If you are like me and have favorite blogs that you always go to, you have probably done the same thing I have.  One of my favorite blogs mentioned Your Next Stamp stamps and I had never heard of the company.  Of course, I had to check it out!  I found this cute set called Fire Up The Fun. The sentiment inside says "Holy smoke! You're HOW old?"

I just fell in love with this cute set and knew it would be the perfect card for anyone getting older who still had their sense of humor intact! 

Hugs,
Sherri

QKR Stampede Challenge - Anything Goes!

Happy Friday!

Yes, it's that time again! Time for our weekly QKR Stampede weekly challenge! Grab your favorite stamps or dies and be sure to enter! You could easily be the winner of your choice of digi stamps!
I decided to go with Fawn # 13106 for my card.  I thought it would be a great guy card and you can never have enough of those!

I love this digi.  How cute is this little guy!  I'm lucky enough to have lots of deer where I live and I see them a lot!  One day I saw a mom and her baby and it was the sweetest little thing you could imagine!  I don't know how anyone can shoot a deer!  They are just the most beautiful creatures ever.

Stop by tomorrow for a cute and fun fireman birthday card!

Hugs,
Sherri

Get well soon!

Hello again!

Well, this isn't quite as funny as yesterday's get well card, but it would be a good choice to send your favorite female when she is under the weather.

I used the Tattered Lace Window Display Delicate Detail Floral Corner I used a couple of days ago for this beauty.  A quick sentiment for the middle & I was done.

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

Hugs,
Sherri

Feel Better Soon!

Happy Hump Day!

Ready for a chuckle?  This adorable Stamping Bella image hooked me the minute I saw it. Love the way the chicks are enjoying their soup! One lounges in the corner with his sun glasses on while another is practicing his scuba diving. The one in back looks like he is diving in and then, of course, we have the little guy who thinks he is a chef and is trying to make soup!  This cute image should cheer up even the sickest person! 

Another get well card tomorrow.

Hugs,
Sherri

Monster Mash!

Hello, everyone!

What little guy wouldn't like this happy trio of monsters for his birthday card?  They look like they are really getting into the celebration don't they?

I'm not sure whose digi this was as I didn't label it well.  Check back tomorrow for a get well card.

Hugs,
Sherri

Thank You!

Happy Monday!

Here is a great way to say thank you!  I grabbed a Die-Versions Bird Bath die and combined it with a Wild Rose Studio Olivette Corner.  Some pretty floral paper and it was done.

I always leave the insides of my thank you cards blank so I can write a personal thank you note.

Check back tomorrow for a cute kid's birthday card.

Hugs,
Sherri

Happy Anniversary!

Hi, there!

We all have to send anniversary cards and I don't know about you, but I always struggle with what to make.  This Tattered Lace Window Display Delicate Detail Floral Corner just seemed to be the perfect answer.  It's beautiful enough to send off feeling good about it.

See you tomorrow with a cute and easy thank you.

Hugs,
Sherri

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Saturday!

Yes, I know, it is not even close to Thanksgiving, but here we go anyway. 

I've had this stamp for years, but rarely use it since it takes so long to color up.  But some days you just get the coloring bug don't you!  The frame around this image is actually a gold paper but it doesn't show up too well. 

See you tomorrow with an anniversary card.

Hugs,
Sherri

QKR Stampede Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes!

Hi, friends!

Ready for the weekend to start?  Me too!  Even when you are retired, weekends still seem to be more fun than the week!

I grabbed Digi # 3601 Flower Basket for my card.  I just thought it would be pretty when colored up and I do like the way it turned out.  You could do any colors with this digi and make it a fall basket as well.

I embossed the background on this digi and I love the way it turned out.  I've been adding a lot more embossing lately and it seems to give just an extra "umph" to everything.

Be sure to grab your favorite stamps or dies and join us for the fun! 

Changing gears again tomorrow!  

Hugs,

Sherri

With Sympathy!

Hi, friends!

Another sympathy card made with one of my favorite dies.  This is a Tattered Lace Window Display die and makes a gorgeous card that could be used for almost any event.

Isn't this a peaceful feeling card?  Love the image combined with the soft blue.

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for the weekly QKR Stampede challenge.

Hugs,
Sherri

Birthday Basket!

Hello, again!

Yes, this probably looks familiar.  I shared this same Tutti Designs Easter Flower Basket the other day but with a change of paper to a bright floral print, it looks completely different.

What a difference paper choices make! And I've been really enjoying the floral paper pad I got on sale for half price a while back.  (You have to buy paper if it's half price, right?)

See you tomorrow with a sympathy card.

Hugs,
Sherri

Happy Birthday to "Shoe"

Hello, everyone!

We all need to find that perfect card for our gal friends & this Tutti Designs Floral Shoe die makes a gorgeous card for any gal.

This is one of my favorite colors and the floral paper just seemed to be the perfect fit for it.

See you tomorrow with another birthday card.

Hugs,
Sherri

Happy Birthday!

Happy Monday!

Ready for another fantastic week?  I sure am!  I'm loving this warm weather, but thank heavens for air conditioning ! ha ha

Today's birthday card is made with a Tutti Designs Easter Flower Basket.  The flowers in the corner are an old Martha Stewart corner punch.  I'm sure they don't make it anymore and I just pray it doesn't break as it is really old & I use it a ton!

I'll be back tomorrow with another birthday card.

Hugs,
Sherri

QKR Stampede Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes!

Hello, again!

Fridays roll around really quickly don't they?  Do you have a weekly routine that you always do on Friday?  I don't, but they mow our yards on Fridays so I never have to worry about whether or not they are coming.  They always show up early!  What a joy not to have to mow anymore! Especially on those days when the humidity is as high as the temperature! I can sit inside in the air conditioning and watch someone else sweating! 

For my card this week, I chose Hummingbird Birthday digi# 56401.  Thought this would be a pretty birthday card.  I'm glad I decided on lavender at the last minute. That has always been a favorite color and I love the way it turned out.

Back tomorrow with another birthday card.  In the meantime, grab your favorite stamps or dies & see what you can come up with! You could win your choice of some great digi stamps!

Hugs,
Sherri

Happy Birthday!

Hi, friends!

This is more in keeping with the warm weather isn't it?  I grabbed a Poppy Stamps Stitched Heart Borders die and a Tutti Designs Flower Cart die for the focal point.

I love Tutti Design dies! All of them are so detailed & gorgeous!

Stop back tomorrow for our weekly QKR Stampede challenge!

Hugs,
Sherri

Caring Thoughts....

Happy Hump Day!

We all have to send sympathy cards but at least we can send pretty ones.  I used an old Spellbinders Heartfelt Creations Decorative Lace Border die for the background.  The center sentiment was stamped with a Marianne Designs Oval LR0240.

The gray is actually lighter in person than it looks here.  Stop back tomorrow for a birthday card.

Hugs,
Sherri

Wishing you everything that makes you happy!

Hello, everyone!

I love lacy cards.  Actually, lacy anything!  ha ha So when I got this Sue Wilson Delicate Garden Frame I knew it had to be made into a birthday card.

I think this would be the perfect card for a best friend, mom, sister....any female.

Back tomorrow with more lace. 

Hugs,
Sherri

Best Witches!

Hello, everyone!

Ready to pretend it's Halloween already?  It might make it easier to ignore the heat!

This is a Stamping Bella image I couldn't pass up.  I pulled out my Memory Box Corner Cobwebs to go with her. 

See you tomorrow with a change of pace again.

Hugs,
Sherri

Happy, happy, happy birthday!

Happy Sunday!

Do you have any kid's birthdays coming up?  I thought this little guy would be perfect for a child's birthday.  I love his tail!!  He is another Stamping Bella image & what fun he was to color!

I grabbed my Lifestyle scalloped rectangles to cut him out.

Hugs until tomorrow!
Sherri

Rudolph Kisses!

Happy Saturday!

Hope your weekend is off to a fabulous start & you are enjoying this glorious weather.

Having said that, can you forget how hot it is and pretend for just a few minutes that it is winter again?  That will make the Christmas card I'm sharing today easier to see.  I know we all think we will get a head start on our cards every year but we never do.  This year, I will be ready!

This is another Stamping Bella image and I grabbed a Marianne Designs Holly die to finish it off.

I promise you tomorrow we will get over Christmas and celebrate a birthday!

Hugs,
Sherri

Snow Buddies

Hello, everyone!

Aren't these little guys just the cutest?  Another Stamping Bella stamp I fell in love with.
I framed them with a Precious Marieke Winter Wonderland and grabbed my Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflakes to go with it.

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

Hugs,
Sherri

I'm so thankful!

Happy Fourth!


Yes, I know I should be sharing a Fourth of July card today, but I'm trying to catch up so bear with me.

How cute is this Stamping Bella ?  I love her and the sentiment that goes with it is so great.  This card will go to my daughter & her family. 

Again, I grabbed my Lawn Fawn Stitched Leaves dies for this one.  Tomorrow we are switching gears and doing Christmas! 

Hugs,
Sherri

Autumn

Hello, again!

As I warned you the other day, I will be sharing fall cards.  Today's features another Stamping Bella stamp that I fell in love with.  I know.....I say that about all of their stamps! Which probably explains why I have 62 of them.  Lol!

I grabbed some Lawn Fawn Stitched Leaves to go with this cute image.

See you tomorrow with another Thanksgiving card.

Hugs,
Sherri

Penquin Love

Happy Monday!

Yes, I know it is only July, but I have been working ahead on cards for a fall craft show so don't be surprised if you see Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas cards in July!  Just warning you!! ha ha

This card is a Stamping Bella stamp that I adore.  They look like they are madly in love don't they? I added some Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflakes to finish the scene. 

Switching gears tomorrow for a Thanksgiving card.

Hugs,
Sherri
