Sorry Gals!

My December 1st post for the dies R Us Challenge should have posted already.  Not sure what is going on, but I know it's driving me INSANE!

My apologies to you all!

Another thank you card!

Hello again!

I adore this image and couldn't help but do up several of them.

Love how this turned out!  Hope you have all your Christmas stuff put away and have time to relax and enjoy the rest of the season.

QKR Stampede Challenge-Anything Goes!

Hi, Gals!
Time for our weekly Friday challenge and as always, the theme is Anything Goes! Grab your favorite digi and join the fun!

I grabbed digi# 3006 (Polar Bear holding present).  He is either on his way to see his best friend or his favorite gal!  Either way, he is ready for some fun.

Grab your favorite digi and join the fun.  The winner will get their choice of digi stamps from the store.
Hugs,
Sherri

Another thank you card

Hi, gals!

Hope all of you survived Christmas.  It's always such a let down once the holiday is over.  You go from busy, busy, busy to nothing to do but take down all the decorations and put the tree away.

Don't you love this digi?  It went into my cart the minute I saw it.

It takes me two full days to get all my Christmas stuff out and up and I'm sure I will be busy for two days taking it all down.  That's the only thing I don't like about Christmas!  I have a hutch in my kitchen and collect Willie Raye Studio collectibiles and have for years.  I have tons of Christmas ones so the day to day versions have to be packed away and stored in the garage while I put all the Christmas ones out!  That alone is a whole day!  ha ha

Enough of my woes!  Enjoy the holiday!!
Hugs,
Sherri

Hope you all survived Christmas!

Well, the post I had scheduled for today seems to have disappeared! AGAIN!! This is becoming old really fast!  I'm not sure why this is happening but know it's making me livid!!  Sorry gals!  The blog fairy seems to have decided to play tricks with me again!  DANG!!

Hope you all survived Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas, everyone!!

I hope your Christmas has been wonderful beyond your wildest dreams!  I count my blessings that I am now living in Lincoln so I don't have to worry about the weather and roads for the 3 hour drive I used to have to take to get here! 

Sharing an old fashioned Santa with you today.


                                             

This is another old, old stamp I just can't seem to part with! And I have to admit I normally color it up every single year.  Old habits die hard!

Enjoy the rest of your holiday!
Hugs,
Sherri

Merry Christmas Eve!

Hi, Gals!

Happy Christmas Eve! I'll be at my daughter's for a Christmas eve church service and then back to her house to open presents.  I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed meeting so many of you and all the friends I have made since my blog started.  I treasure each and every one of you and I think creating my blog was the best thing I ever did!  

I'm hoping you will have a fabulous Christmas and a very, very happy New Year!

Love you all!

Hugs,

Sherri

With Sympathy!

Hello, again!

Today's sypathy card uses another old, old stamp.  It's a Stampendous from 2007.  Yes, I never throw stamps away!  You never know when you might want them again!

This was a lot of fun to color too!  I never get tired of coloring!  Do you?  It always sends me to my "happy" place!

See you tomorrow with a thank you card.
Hugs,
Sherri

More sympathy cards

Happy Monday, gals!

Just another post of sympathy cards to share today.  You are probably tired of them by now, but they are a staple of anyone's card stash, aren't they?

Two completely different cards just by switching the dies I used!  What a difference switching out your dies can make to the finished card!

Stop back tomorrow for another sympathy card.

Once again it's time to share a sympathy card. This was a relatively new die for me but one I'm loving a lot!

Nurse!

Hi, Gals!
This little penquin just grabbed me the minute I saw him.  Who wouldn't want a nurse this cute!

We have all been under the weather from time to time, but this little guy looks like he is REALLY sick!  Hope he gets better soon!

Hugs!

Hi, Gals!
Who doesn't love hugs!  I think we all do!

I decided this would be the perfect card to send someone who is under the weather.  Combining my favorite flower stamp with my favorite die just made sense to me.  Hope you like it too!

Quick! I need a lesson!

Hi, gals!

Who doesn't love Snoopy?  And I know this card will appeal to any guy who golfs!
This is another Stampabilities from 2008 called Tee Off.

Since I've never golfed before, I'm sure this would be me freaking out before my first trip to the course!

See you tomorrow with a fun birthday card.
Hugs,
Sherri

Happy Fishing!

Hi, gals!

I love this stamp.  Another one I've had for years...This is a Whipper Snapper from 2005. And one I grab a lot of the time for guy cards! 

As I said, I'm on a roll with guy cards and will have another one tomorrow.  This one is for a golfer.

Hugs,
Sherri

A day at the beach!

Happy Monday!

Another fun card for a guy.  Who doesn't love the beach!  Wish I was there right now!

This was fun to color up and with a couple of my "beach" dies, I love the finished look.

Back tomorrow with another guy card!  I'm on a "guy" card roll!
Hugs,
Sherri

You're a classic!

Hi, gals!

A fun card for any guy who loves to golf!  And lots and lots of them do!

Stop back tomorrow for another guy card!

Hugs,
Sherri

There's a "nap" for that!

Hi, gals!

What a great card for a guy who loves to fish!  And a lot of them do!! And I love the sentiment that goes with it!

As someone who used to love fishing, I can see how easy it would be to fall asleep while you are sitting there.  It's quiet, relaxing and at times, boring while you wait for a nibble.

Back tomorrow for another guy card!
Hugs,
Sherri

QKR Stampede Challenge- Anything Goes!

Have a relaxing birthday!

Hi, gals!

What a fun image this guy is for a guy's birthday card.  This is a Art Impressions stamp and I love it!  Every guy dreams of celebrating his birthday just laying around in his pajamas and doing nothing all day! 

Actually, I think most of us would love to do the same thing if we will admit it!   Except, of course, you might want to get dressed if you are having a birthday party!  ha ha

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

Cruisin' in to wish you a happy day

Hi, gals!

Need a great guy card?  This should do it!  It's a Sparkle N Sprinkle rubber stamp and how fun is this for a guy!  They all love cars....that's a no-brainer!  So getting this cute little guy would surely hit the spot!

This little car was so much fun to color and the sentiment that came with it was perfect too!
Stop back tomorrow for another guy card!  Something to make you chuckle!

Hi, gals!

Yes, I know Halloween is past, but remember I'm working on cards for 2 craft shows this fall.  So maybe this will motivate you to start working ahead on your own cards!

You all know how much I love cats and how could I pass this one up! Cats and Halloween are two of my favorite things! 

Stop back tomorrow for another birthday card!

Hi, gals!

Hope your week is going well! Have a couple of cards to share today that were fun to make.

These were easy to make.  Grabbed my favorite flower stamp and my favorite dies and it was a piece of cake to make!

I had so much fun coloring these that I decided to make two of them.

Tool guy!

Happy Hump Day, gals!

Well, I've found the perfect card for a guy...especially if he is into tools! And what guy isn't?  I have to admit, I even have my own tool set!  When you live alone you have to be able to do minor things around the house by yourself.  Even have my own power screwdriver and power saw! 

This is a Tutti Designs die called Tool set.  Combined with this digi which I fussy cut, it makes a great guy card.  I'm hoping it will be snapped up at the craft shows this fall!

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for some more birthday cards!
Hugs,
Sherri

Happy, happy birthday!

Hello, everyone!

Another fun card today!  One of my favorite digi stamps and a couple of my favorite dies! This little gal would be great for a gal of almost any age.

I made this card in two colors and love them both!

I'll see you tomorrow with a great guy card.
Hugs,
Sherri

Aged to perfection

Hi, gals!

Hope your week is off to a great start!  I found some great old trucks that I thought would be perfect for guy birthday cards!  I made two of them in different colors and ended up liking them both!

Aren't these the perfect guy cards!  They just look like something a guy would be thrilled to be driving! A couple of gear dies and they were done.

Back tomorrow with some cute birthday cards!
Hugs,
Sherri

It's your day!

Hi, gals!

This is one of my favorite Sassy Cheryl digi's and I thought it would make a great birthday card for a young girl. 

She looks like she is going on a hike or to a friend's house for lemonade.  I'll be back tomorrow with some great guy cards!  And we all know how much we hate those!

Hugs,

Sherri

Birthday wishes!

Hi, gals!

Back with a cute birthday card using one of my favorite flower stamps. 

Grabbed one of my favorite corner dies and it almost made itself! Hopefully, whoever this goes to will love it too!
