QKR Stampede Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello, again!

Friday seems to come earlier and earlier each week doesn't it?  They say time seems to fly as you get older, and they aren't kidding!

I grabbed a cute critter for my card today.  This is Mouse digi # 17806.  For some reason, this little guy just appealed to me a lot! By adding a few leaves and some of my favorite paper, I was done.

Doesn't this make a sweet birthday card?  You can't go wrong with a cute critter on a card!

Can you believe tomorrow is September already?  Our beautiful summer is almost gone. So enjoy these warm days while we have them!

Hugs,
Sherri

More cards for the girls!

Hello, again!

One last day of baby cards before we change gears! I love these two cards.  Both of them have all the delicate features I love in a baby card, especially if it is for a baby girl!

The card on the left was done with the same dies I mentioned earlier and the card on the right was done with a Precious Marieke Spring Flowers Rectangle Frame and a Frantic Stamper Baby Square. I had never paired these 2 up before but really love the result!

Be sure to join me tomorrow for our weekly QKR Stampede challenge!

Sherri

Baby Shoes!

Happy Hump Day!

Boy, do these Wednesdays roll around fast!  Today I have two more baby cards using darling baby shoes.  The shoes are from Tattered Lace and the frame is an Elizabeth CCraft Design Flowers Lace Frame. 

I'm stocking up for two craft shows this fall! And the scary part is they are only 2 weeks apart. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but is keeping me REALLY busy!  Lol!

One more day of baby cards to come & then we will switch gears again.

Hugs,
Sherri

Two cards for baby!

Hello, again!

These cards use my favorite baby stamp from Penny Black!  I love, love, love her hedgehogs! I think I have every single one!  There are some critters you just fall in love with and always love.

The beautiful frame around them is a Precious Marieke Spring Flowers Square Frame & one of my favorites!

I'll see you tomorrow with two more baby cards!

Hugs,
Sherri

Have a "fairy" good birthday!

Happy Monday!

Hope your week is off to a fantastic start & just keeps getting better & better! Today I have another Stamping Bella stamp to share.  I love these little fairies and especially the sentiment that goes with them.  "A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart!"  How very true!

I thought this would be the perfect card to send to a friend!

Tomorrow we are changing gears & going to baby cards!

Hugs,
Sherri

Happy Birthday from one glamoreous babe to another!

Happy Sunday!

Are you having a nice relaxing weekend?  Hopefully, it includes some time to do some crafting!
That's what I'll be doing as soon as I come back from church!

This is another Stamping Bella.  How cute is she?  And like most of us, she seems to be having a cup of morning coffee while she chats with her friends!

I love Stamping Bella stamps!  Obviously, that's why you see so many of them.  All of them are adorable!

Back tomorrow with another one!
Hugs,
Sherri

Friends are like thighs....

Hello, friends!

Ready for another chuckle?  This two delightful gals are from Stamping Bella and look like they have been friends for many, many years!   The inside message says "Happy Birthday, dear friend!"

There is nothing like old friends! My best friend & I have known each other for over 40 years! I've known her for so long, I've adopted her as a second sister.  I hope you have someone in your life who has been friends with you that long too!

Check with me tomorrow for another Stamping Bella gal!

Hugs,
Sherri

QKR Stampede Challenge - Anything Goes

Happy Friday, again!

Don't the weeks just fly by!  Time to grab your favorite stamps or dies and see what kind of card you can come up with!

I decided on Horse Head digi # 904 for my card.  It's a perfect guy card!

Isn't this a great card to send your favorite guy?  I can't believe how many beautiful digi stamps you can find at QKR Stampede! If you haven't been to their store, you need to!

Hugs,
Sherri

Don't sweat the small stuff!

Happy Thursday!

Ready for another smile?  This cute Stamping Bella chicken should do the trick! Love her bikini! Apparently, she thinks big is beautiful and even in her skimpy bikini she is hot! 

I know a lot of people who would get a real laugh out of this birthday card! Now I just have to find the right person to send it to!

Stop back tomorrow for our weekly QKR Stampede challenge!

Hugs,
Sherri

Hope your birthday is "Bee-utiful"

Happy Hump Day!

Are you ready for a smile this morning?  Well, these happy little bees should do the trick! Don't they look like they could do a rockette's routine at any moment?  Sometimes you just want a silly card for a birthday & this should fill the bill! It's an old, old stamp from Stampworks from 2003.  Yes, I know, I rarely get rid of stamps!

Check back tomorrow for another chuckle!

Hugs,
Sherri

Healing thoughts...

Hello, again!

Who can't use some healing thoughts when you have just lost a loved one!  I love the way this card turned out.  I used a Marianne Design Creatable Lace Border die for the beautiful lace edge and a Spellbinders Elegant Ovals for the center.

I love the calm feeling to this card.  I think the pastel color and beautiful lace are a big part of it.

Hugs,
Sherri

Boo! Who's afraid of spiders!

Happy Monday!

This is another of the cards I'm getting ready for the fall craft shows.  I love this Sassy Cheryl digi and use her every Halloween.  The cobwebs are Memory Box Corner Cobweb and Marianne Designs Spiderweb.

I don't know about you, but spiders don't scare me as much as snakes!  I can deal with spiders just fine.  I have a nephew, however, that absolutely freaks out at the sight of one! 

Check in tomorrow for a sympathy card.

Hugs,
Sherri

Thanksgiving blessings

Hi, friends!

Are you having a relaxing weekend?  Certainly hope so.  I know it's a bit early, but I have a couple of Thanksgiving cards to share today. I've been working ahead for a couple of craft shows this fall.

Both of these cards were made with a Plum Purdy stamp which is no longer being made.  So you can bet I am holding tight to it! There are just some stamps you always color up every single year and would never part with! Besides this gorgeous stamp, I also have 2 Halloween and 2 Christmas stamps from Plum Purdy.  They are priceless to me now & I'm so sorry she isn't making them available anymore.

I used the same background die for both.  It is a Tutti Designs Maple Vine Frame and a favorite I use a lot.

Back tomorrow with a cute witch!

Hugs,
Sherri

Boo!

Happy Saturday!

Ready for a little Halloween fun?  This Judith witch looks like she is ready to get on her broom & take off for a little ride around the night! 

Come back tomorrow for another Plum Purdy card!

Hugs,

Sherri

QKR Stampede Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello, again!

Well, it's that time again.  Time for our weekly QKR Stampede challenge.  I adore the image I used today!  I sent it to someone special for her birthday, in fact!

This is Flowers digi # 14613.

It's easy to color up and I grabbed one of my favorite lacy dies for the background.  The die is a Precious Marieke Early Spring Flowers Square Frame and one I use a whole lot!

Grab your favorite dies or stamps & see what you can come up with.  You may win some new digi stamps if you are the winner!

Hugs,
Sherri

Who's your mummy?

Hi,

Just couldn't resist saying that!  ha ha  This cute mummy is a Stampabilities image I've had for many years as well.  I never get rid of my favorites!  Ever!!

Since you can only see his eyes, I decided the eyeball paper would be perfect for him! 

Stop back tomorrow for our weekly QKR Stampede challenge!

Sherri

Dies R Us Challenge-You are a Star!

Hi, gals!

Are you ready for our fifteenth of the month challenge today?  I love the many themes we get from our leader! You can never become bored with the selection of themes you have to work with, that's for sure! The theme for today is "You are a Star! and you can choose any subject you want as long as you include a star on your card or project.  I decided to go with a "Congrats" theme for mine.  Seems like there is always someone in our family who has done something worthy of a congratulations card!

This was a simple card to make and the dies just made it for me.  I used the following dies: Impression Obsession Congrats, Memory Box Beloved Stars & Spellbinders Pierced Stars.

The link to our challenge is here.  And if you are short of star dies, you can find dozens of them in our fabulous store! The link to the store is here!  (Have to warn you though, once you get there you will end up with a full cart no matter how good your intentions are to be good!)

I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Hugs,
Sherri

Boo!

Hello, everyone!

As promised, I'm back with another of my favorite Halloween stamps from Plum Purdy.  What a joy it is to color them up!

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for our Dies R Us challenge for the 15th!

Sherri

Happy Halloween

Happy Monday!

Ready for another fun week?  I sure am!  And I'm going to share this cute Plum Purdy cat with you today.  It's one of my all time favorite stamps & unfortunately, they no longer sell stamps. 

I've always loved this image & would never give it up. Join me tomorrow for another Plum Purdy stamp that is no longer available.

Hugs,
Sherri

This is a "stick up"

Hello, again!

How cute is this Penny Black stamp!  I've always loved it and it usually gets colored up every year!

I seem to be on a cat roll the past couple of days & it will continue tomorrow!

Hugs,

Sherri 

Happy Halloween!

Happy Saturday!

What a great image this Penny Black stamp has! It's always been one of my favorites! I added a Memory Box Happy Halloween channel die and a couple of cats from an old cat punch & it was done.

See you tomorrow with another Halloween card!

Hugs,
Sherri

QKR Stampede Challenge - Anything Goes

Happy Friday!

Time for our weekly QKR Stampede challenge and as usual, the theme is Anything Goes.
I make a lot of cards with blank insides for my craft shows.  A lot of gals love them to send notes to their friends.  And when I saw this darling digi "Drop Me a Line" digi# 6503, I knew I had to color it up.  It will be perfect for sending a quick note to someone. 

Can you see now why I couldn't resist him?  Look at that cute face! Pencil in hand & ready to drop a line to someone!

See what you can come up with and if you are the winner, you will be able to choose some adorable digi stamps from QKR Stampede!

Hugs,
Sherri

Trick or Treat!

Hi, again!

Well, today I have an old, old Stamping Up stamp to share.  I have tons of their stamps for Halloween.  Their stamps used to be much cuter back a few years & I have all of them from those days.

The inside says: "Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!" Perfect for your little goblins!

Stop back tomorrow for our weekly QKR Stampede challenge!

Hugs,
Sherri

Boo!

Happy Hump Day!

Hopefully, your week has been good so far & will continue to be wonderful until the weekend when you can relax!

This is one of my old, old stamps!

I love Halloween and have tons of Halloween stamps and dies! Next to Christmas, it is my favorite holiday by far!  See you tomorrow with another Halloween card!

Hugs,

Sherri

You've Got This!

Hello, friends!

I know we have all been touched by cancer and this image from Sassy Cheryl just seemed the perfect card for someone battling cancer.  The inside message says: 

What cancer cannot do

Cancer is so limited...

It cannot cripple Love

It cannot shatter Hope

It cannot corrode Faith

It cannot kill Friendship

It cannot suppress Memories

It cannot silence Courage

It cannot invade the Soul

It cannot steal Eternal Life

It cannot conquer the Spirit.

I thought this image was perfect for the journey a cancer patient embarks on.

Changing gears again tomorrow & celebrating Halloween for a couple of days.

Hugs,

Sherri

Time spent with cats is never wasted!

Happy Monday!

Well, I don't think there is any statement that is more true than this! Take it from a cat lover (and cat "mom")  they will always bring you more joy than you can imagine!

What heaven would this be! Five cats!!  ha ha   Hope she has a great lint brush for all the cat hair!
I decided to leave the inside blank for a note card.

Join me tomorrow for another great get well card for someone with cancer.

Hugs,
Sherri

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Hello, everyone!

Here is another darling Stamping Bella image that I just couldn't resist!  LOVE her! She is a little chunky, but cute as a button.  And she has come prepared to help!  Even better!

Again, a change of background paper gives you a totally different look, doesn't it!

Come back tomorrow for one of my favorite cards! Of course, it has cats!

Hugs,
Sherri

Feel Better Soon!

1. Hello, friends!

Yes, I know you have seen this cute Stamping Bella image before, but I loved it so much I tried several versions of it.  I used an Impression Obsession Fancy Cutout Border behind th

Join me tomorrow for another get well card.  Actually two versions!

Feel Better Soon!

Hello, everyone!

Haven't we all had days when a cold just got the better of us?  Looks like she had better stock up on more tissues!  This is a Stamping Bella image.

Why is it that a cold can make you feel worse than about anything else?  Chills, fever, aches, running nose, headache.....Luckily, I haven't had one in a long time.

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

Sherri
