What do you mean Santa has enough reindeer??

Hi, gals!

I fell in love with this cute Bugaboo stamp the minute I saw it! I'm SO glad it jumped into my cart! Different dies on each but I love them both! 

Don't you love the look on his face! That is one unhappy little dog! Apparently, he had visions of helping Santa deliver gifts along with the other reindeer.  Maybe Santa will let him set in the sled with him!  Poor little guy!

Hard to believe June is over! The summer is flying by!

My favorite Halloween cats!

Hi, again!

Yes, Halloween is a LONG way away, but maybe these cards will get you motivated to start working ahead on your own cards!  I send a lot of cards out for each holiday and you probably do too!

The same background spider web on each card but slightly different designs.  This is a Plum Purdy stamp which is no longer available.  I have 4 of their stamps and they are treasures to me.  I never fail to color them up for each holiday!

Merry Christmoose....

Hi again!

I just laughed my head off over this cute moose tangled up in Christmas lights! He looks a bit confused....probably trying to figure out how to untangle them all!

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

Christmas Joy!

Hi, again!

As promised, I'm back with another Christmas card!  Decided to use the die my friend Gail sent me.  She has tons of "cut" files and a machine to cut them out.  This was one she sent me and I love it. Decided to go with a simple sentiment in gold too!

The gold paper created a bit of a darker shadow on this card but I think you can still see it!
Stop by tomorrow for another Christmas card!  I'm on a roll now!
Hugs,
Sherri

Merry Christmas!

Hi, gals!
Well, you only have 6 months before Christmas rolls around again!  ha ha  I decided to go with gold this time for a totally different look. 

I love this tree die and pulled out my favorite Christmas sentiment to go with it!
Easy, easy card!
Back tomorrow with another Christmas card!
Hugs,
Sherri

Bears and honey!

Hi, gals!
What goes better than bears and honey?  Maybe peanut butter and jelly?  These cute bears were from Sassy Cheryl and on sale too!  I couldn't pass them up.  Something you have heard me say many, many, many times! But how cute are they!!

I know you are all looking for the picture, but for some reason it didn't post.  Dang!!
Sorry!

Happy Birthday to you!!

Hi, ladies!

You can never have too many kid's birthday cards on hand! When I saw this Bugaboo image, it just jumped into my cart!

Switching gears tomorrow and going with a Christmas card!
Hugs,
Sherri

Couldn't pass up the sentiment with this one!

Hi, gals!

We all know that we see stores putting out Christmas stuff before Halloween is even over and this Bugaboo image just made me laugh my head off!  How true!! 

I did them in Halloween colors but couldn't resist the sentiment!  I still laugh when I read it and hope whoever these cards go to will get a good chuckle too!

Back tomorrow with some cute kid's birthday cards!
Hugs,
Sherri

I car-rot a lot about you!

Happy Saturday, gals!

I know.....Easter is long over, but maybe this will help you think about next Easter.  It's never too soon to get a head start on upcoming holidays!

How cute is this little guy!  What a fun card to send your favorite child or grandchild!
The inside message says "Some bunny loves you!"  which is even better!

Hope you are having a great weekend and enjoying this beautiful weather!
Hugs,
Sherri

QKR Stampede Challenge - Anything Goes!

Happy Friday, gals!

Boy, do the weeks seem to fly by these days!  One minute it's Monday and the next it's Friday! Guess what they say about time flying as you get older must be true.

I am sharing digi# 16601 Clown for my entry today.  Thought he would make a cute kid's card!  Most of them love clowns!  My daughter hated them when she was little! Whenever we went to the Shrine circus she cringed when they came out making all their nose!  I think it was the noise more than the clowns that she didn't like.

As always, the theme this week is "Anything Goes" so grab whatever stamps or dies you need to make a card and join the fun.  The winner will get some great digi stamps!

Sherri

Cute get well cards

Hi, gals!

Yes, there are always people getting sick, even in the summer & what better thing to send them than a cute get well card to cheer them up and let them know you are thinking of them!  I loved these cute Bugaboo gals & knew they would be perfect for birthdays, get well, thank you.....so many things!

Don't they just cheer you up immediately?  I decided to make two of them in totally different colors and loved them both.  I picked my 2 favorite card colors and presto they were done. 

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

Merry Christmas Frame

Hi, everyone!

Back again with my last Christmas card for the week.  I love this gorgeous Christmas frame! It makes a gorgeous card all by itself!

Hope at least some of you guys are getting inspired to work ahead on your own Christmas cards! It's a big relief to know they are all done and you won't be burning the midnight oil trying to get your cards done in time to send them out.   Or am I the only one who does this?  ha ha  Probably!!

See you tomorrow with a surprise.
Hugs,
Sherri

Have a deer Christmas!

Hi, again!

Yes, I'm still doing Christmas cards!  Sorry, gals!  But on the bright side, I'm getting lots done for my 2 shows this fall and I know I'll have plenty left for my own cards!

I love these dies together.  You can almost hear the silence of this beautiful scene! It would even make a great top for a snow globe!  Might have to try that idea next!

Back tomorrow with my last Christmas card for a couple days. 

Hugs,
Sherri

The 3 Wise Men

Hello, again!

Well, the story of the 3 wise men was always one of my favorites.  And when I was just a small gal, my grandmother gave me another book "The Other Wise Man" and it was one of my most cherished gifts growing up.  It was the story of another fourth wise man making his journey to see the birth of the Lord & I loved it! If you ever run across this book, you need to buy it!

Enough about my childhood....on to our Christmas card for today!

Isn't this a great Christmas card!  The combination of these two dies was a great idea.

See you tomorrow with a beautiful deer card.
Hugs,
Sherri

Christmas Carolers!

Well, I warned you all!

Another easy Cchristmas card just needing 2 dies!  I love this corner bell die and the carolers just seemed a perfect fit for the inside!

I'll be back tomorrow with this same corner die but the 3 wise men!  Hopefully, this may be getting some of you in the mood to make your own Christmas cards!

Hugs,
Sherri

QKR Stampede Challenge - Anything Goes!

Happy Friday, gals!

As usual, we have our weekly QKR Stampede challenge again today.  As always, the theme is
"Anything Goes" which means you can create anything you may need most.

I decided to go with digi# 19504 Baseball Bunny.  I knew he would make a great kid's card, especially for any little guy who loved baseball!

Love this happy little guy!  He looks like he is really enjoying the game doesn't he?  I love how they made holes for his long ears to stick out! 

Can't see what you enter!  The winner will get their choice of digi stamps.

Hugs,
Sherri

Christmas angel

Hi, gals!

Ready for another Christmas card?  Well, you have no choice!  You are going to have quite a few of them coming at you the next week or so.  Besides the 2 craft shows I've committed myself to, I also send out a whole lot of Christmas cards!

This was really easy to create with just a couple of my favorite dies!  You all know how much I love my dies!

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

More Best Fishes!

Happy Hump Day, gals!

Another version of our grumpy fishing guy from a couple days ago.  I added a cattail die to this one! He was just so cute I could have gone on making cards with him all day.  But I didn't think I needed more than two so I forced myself to stop! ha ha

I've had so much fun doing guy cards this week.  Maybe I'll have to bite the bullet and make some more!

Hugs,

Sherri

Happy Day!

Hi, gals!

Well, this is another version of the car I posted the other day.  It was hard not to make several when the stamp was so darned cute! 

I'm not sure whether I like it better in blue or the red.  I guess I like both of them.  It's just such a darned cute stamp!
Back tomorrow with another fishing card!
Hugs,
Sherri

Best fishes!!

Happy Monday, everyone!

What a great guy card this guy is!  He is another stamp I found at Sparkle N Sprinkle.  I had fun coloring him up with camo clothes!  Looks like this old guy is off for a day fishing & relaxing! Got his radio along for music too! Wonder what kind of music he listens to?  Rap, heavy metal.....probably not! I'm guessing country music!

Looks like he won't have a big enough fish for his dinner!  That's a pretty small fish unless he is just getting started and plans to catch a bunch more!

See you tomorrow with another guy card!
Hugs,
Sherri

A great guy card!

Happy Sunday, gals!

We all struggle to make guy cards, or at least I do!  I'm SO much more comfortable making a gal's card where I can put lots of lacy dies and pretty pastel colors.  Guy cards are always something to be tolerated.  This cute stamp from Sparkle N Sprinkle caught my eye immediately!

What a fun card for your favorite guy!  And with the gear works die it's even better!
See you tomorrow with another guy card!
Hugs,
Sherri

A Penguin Get Well

Hi, gals,

We all know someone who is going through some rough times and may be in the hospital or in the middle of taking chemo.  This poor sick little penquin would be the perfect card to send to cheer someone up!  I fell in love with this little image the minute I saw him.

Poor little guy looks like he has been through a lot doesn't he?  Even losing his hair!
My heart goes out to anyone going through chemo treatments.  My nephew's wife has been going through it for several years for breast cancer.  I pray for her daily and it looks like God is answering our prayers.  She got really good scans last time and it looks like she may actually be going into remission.  Praise the Lord!

Hugs,
Sherri

QKR Stampede Challenge - Anything Goes

Hi, gals!

Well, it's Friday so that means time for another QKR Stampede challenge and the theme is, as always, Anything Goes!

Grabbed a couple of my favorite dies and with this cute image, the card almost made itself!
This is digi# 503 (Baby Elephant) in case you want it.

Hugs,
Sherri

So Sorry Gals!

Obviously, I screwed something up and my July 1st post posted today instead.
Still trying to fix it!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Thursday, gals!

Hope your week is going well and has been a great one so far.  It won't be long until the weekend gets here and you can relax and enjoy it.

What a gorgeous card this makes for some gal's birthday!  The combination of these two dies makes a really feminine card! 

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

To someone with a very big heart!

Hi, gals!

What a fun card to send your best friend!  This cute little mouse just grabs me every time I see him!
What more can you say!  He's darling!

How many people do you know that have a big heart?  I know tons of them!  This would be the perfect card for them, wouldn't it?

See you tomorrow with what else?  A birthday card that reminds me of a valentine!

Hugs,
Sherri

Elephant Love!

Hi, gals!

One of my favorite old, old stamps from Stamping Up!  I've had this set so long, I'm sure it's been retired.  Today and tomorrow I'm sharing stamps from this set. 

How cute is this little guy!  I am so glad I didn't get rid of this when I packed my stamps to move. I have always loved it and I'm glad I didn't give it away.  I got rid of boxes and boxes of stamps when I moved.  Closed my eyes and pitched!  And darn, now I remember lots of them I wish I had kept!

Hugs,

Sherri

Love valentine!

Happy Monday, gals!

Yes, Valentine's day is months away, but hopefully, you understand my need to make them for the 2 craft shows coming up this fall.

I grabbed a couple of my favorite valentine dies and the card pretty much made itself!
Back tomorrow with another valentine!

Hugs,
Sherri

Another Valentine!

Hi, gals!

I know you will understand when I keep posting valentines!  Just try to enjoy them and hopefully, they will get you in the mood to create some of your own!

These are actually the same dies you will see on tomorrow's card but they are some of my favorites.

You can see why I'm so fond of these two dies!  The cards literally make themselves!
I hate to tell you but you will see valentines for most of the week!   Be prepared!

Hugs,
Sherri
