Watering the flowers!

Hello, friends!

Well, it's the last of the month & that means it's one day closer to spring!  It can't come fast enough for me!

This was another Mo Manning image I got on her retirement sale.  You could easily use her for a birthday card as well. 

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for a double challenge post! Since the first falls on a Friday, I will be posting both the Dies R Us challenge and the QKR Stampede challenge!

Hugs,
Sherri

Thank you!

Happy Hump Day!

Hopefully, your week has been going well and you will be able to make it until the weekend!
Today's card was made with one of the Mo Manning stamps I got on sale!

I always send a thank you and would much rather send a pretty one than one that is not.

Can you believe tomorrow is already the end of the month?  Where did it go?  I'll see you then with another sweet thank you.

Hugs,
Sherri

The best love story is the one you write together!

Hi, gals!

We all have weddings to attend from time to time & it's always hard finding just the right card.  I loved this couple from Stamping Bella and grabbed them while they were on sale!  You know how I LOVE sales! 

Grabbed one of my dies from my Valentine hoard and my favorite square die and the card kind of made itself!  The title of this post is the inside sentiment!

See you tomorrow with a beautiful thank you card.

Hugs,
Sherri

Sending lots of love!

Happy Monday!

Who doesn't want MORE love!  When I saw this cute Stamping Bella image on sale, I knew it was coming home to me! I sell a lot of blank cards at craft shows for those who like to send a handmade note card.  I thought this would be perfect for that purpose. 

What a fun way to surprise someone with a handwritten note! Even in these days of emails, it is still special to receive an actual card in the mail!  I feel sorry for all the younger kids who haven't learned that yet!

Back tomorrow with a fun wedding card!

Hugs,
Sherri

Have a "Dog-gone" happy birthday!

Hello, again!

I thought this cute birthday dog would bring a smile to your faces this morning & give you something else to think about besides the cold!  This is an image from Mo Manning.  I haven't bought anything from her in several years but got a notice that she was retiring most of her digital stamps and they were all on sale.  So, of course I looked!  I ended up with 4 of them which I just couldn't resist.

I thought this would be a great kid's card and you can never have too many of those on hand!

Back tomorrow with a cute note card!

Hugs,
Sherri

Happy Birthday!

Hello, everyone!

This is another stamp I've had forever. It's a 2005 Whipper Snapper Designs stamp.

What a fun card for any guy who loves to fish!  And I'm sure that's just about all of them!

I'll be back tomorrow with a fun card for the golfers on your birthday lists!

Hugs,
Sherri

QKR Stampede Weekly Challenge- Anything Goes!

Hello, again!

Are you ready for another QKR Stampede weekly challenge?  I hope so! It's the last one for this month and if you play, you could be the lucky winner of some new QKR digi stamps!

I used Digi# 15412, Bubbles for my cute kid's card!

What a cute image for a kid's card! Every kid loves bubbles! And actually, so does my cat!  He goes crazy trying to pop the bubbles!  I'll have to get him some again.  I had forgotten how much fun he had with it until I saw this image.

Grab your favorite supplies and you could easily be the lucky winner of some new digi stamps!

Hugs,
Sherri

Old cars!

Hello, gals!

I LOVE fishing!

Happy Hump Day!

Well, it's been years since I have been fishing, but I always enjoyed it. It was really relaxing and as long as I had someone to put the worm on the hook, I was happy!  I don't do worms!

This is an Alias Smith & Rowe stamp that is one of my oldest.

See you tomorrow with another guy card!

Hugs,
Sherri

All guys love their trucks!

Hello, everyone!

What better card for a guy than one with a red truck on it!  All guys LOVE their trucks! And their dogs!  I used pop dots to make the fenders stand out better!

Back tomorrow with another guy card for a fisherman.

Hugs,
Sherri

I See You!

Hi, gals!

This card takes a lot of time to make since you have to do an inside AND an outside image. I've had it for years & I think it is from Art Impressions but didn't jot that down on the bag.

I've always loved this guy! I'm not sure why he has his gun along, but if he thinks he can shoot a bird, I don't think he is that great of a shot!

See you tomorrow with another guy card!

Hugs,

Sherri

You make the world a better place....

Hi, gals!

A cute birthday card for your favorite gal using this great Stamping Bella image.  It's one of my favorites!

I love this image.  And the sentiment is perfect for letting your best friend know how you feel about her.

Stop back tomorrow for a fun, fun card for a guy.

Hugs,
Sherri

Hope your birthday is "par-fect"

Happy Saturday!

Time for a guy birthday card! This is perfect for any guy that loves to golf and I'm sure that includes most of them. 

See you tomorrow with a couple of adorable critters!

Hugs,
Sherri

Fire up the Grill!

Hello, gals!

These are more stamps I've had for many, many years.  The BBQ apron is from Stamps N'More and the utensils that go into the pocket were from Ann-ticipations.  This is the perfect card for any guy who loves to grill out!  Which is just about any guy!

I popped the apron up on pop dots!

Back to a kid's card tomorrow.

Hugs,
Sherri

Happy Birthday!

Happy Saturday!

We all know how young kids start getting hooked on the computer and all the tech gadgets so I decided this would be a great card for a small boy.  I don't remember the company name, but I do know it came from the UK. 

Changing gears tomorrow & going with a card for a much older guy! 

Hugs,
Sherri

Back tomorrow with a cute elephant!

QKR Stampede Weekly Challenge-Anything Goes!

Hi, there Friday friends!

Fridays certainly roll around quickly don't they?  And I can't believe how fast January went either! One moment we were celebrating the new year and now it is time to start thinking about Valentines!

My card for today's challenge is done with Digi# 13503 and it's titled "Alley Cat" which makes sense because this cute guy is certainly at home in the alleys!  I fell in love with him the minute I saw him!
How could you not!!

See why I love him?  Looks like he has been in a few battles too from the bandage on his tummy!

Grab your favorite stamps and see what you can come up with!  The lucky winner will get free digi stamps from QKR!

Be sure to scroll up for the Dies R Us first of the month challenge which also happens to fall on today!

Good luck!
Hugs,
Sherri
