Loving care....

Hello, friends!

As usual when I have a sympathy card, I tend to grab some of my favorite dies.  This time I grabbed Tutti Designs Fancy Heart Corner and Marianne Designs Anja's Oval Die.

You could easily change the sentiment on this card & turn it into a birthday card or even a get well card.

Two weeks left until April!  Which means spring is almost here! Hooray!!!

Hugs,
Sherri

Back to the usual...

Happy Sunday!

Hope your weekend is going great & you are enjoying every minute of it!  Even though I am retired, I still enjoy weekends for some odd reason!  ha ha  Probably because I get to see family then and my daughter & I can do things on Saturdays!

Yes, it is another thank you card.  Sorry, but I had a large order for them and had a lot of fun coming up with different things.  For today's card I went with Memory Box Sonora Rose (which cuts AND embosses!) and Spellbinders Elegant Ovals (one of my go to dies).

I loved this background paper!  Although I normally don't buy single sheets of any paper, I saw this in a scrapbook store & picked up 2 of them.  Now I wish I had gotten more!  Love the bright, happy colors and pattern of it!

Back tomorrow with a sympathy card!

Hugs,
Sherri

A Critter Thank You!

Happy Saturday!

I bet you are ready to enjoy the weekend & probably have a ton of things to catch up on don't you? I remember those days well!  Trying to work left you busy scrambling to get everything done on the weekend.  Retirement has been such a wonderful change!

I love "critter" stamps!  Especially hedgehogs!  The background die on this is Cheery Lynn French Lattice Small Frame.  I love the difference a great die makes to any card!

I'll be back tomorrow with more cards from my card order.  Enjoy your weekend!

Hugs,

QKR Stampede Challenge - Congratulations!

Happy Friday, everyone!

Are you exhausted after a long week at work? Or are you ready for some fun & relaxation?  Grab your supplies and join in this week's challenge at QKR Stampede!  The theme is "Congratulations" and that could be a new house, new job, baby, graduation......almost anything!  For my card, I chose digi # 8811 "Special Delivery" and went with a baby card.

This is such a darling image & perfect for a baby card!  I decided to do a girl's card, but you can easily change it to a boy's card by making a blue blanket instead.  Or go with a pastel color if you don't know the sex yet.

Head on over to QKR Stampede & enter your version of "Congratulations" and you may be the grand winner of some new stamps!

Hugs,
Sherri

Caring thoughts.....

Happy Thursday!

As a little break between thank you cards, today's card is a sympathy card.  I used Sue Wilson's Stitched Lattice Frames and Tutti Designs Tree of Life on this.

I adore both of these dies!  I can see so many uses for the lattice frame & that tree is just gorgeous! Sometimes you see a die you just HAVE to have & both of these fell into that category!

I hope this has given you a small break because we are back to thank you cards again on Saturday.   See you here tomorrow with our weekly QKR Stampede challenge!

Hugs,

Happy Tuesday!

I think I am as tired of thank you cards as you are at this point, so we are taking a break & I am posting a sympathy card on Thursday!

This card is made with a Stamping Up stamp from long ago.

I keep the insides of all my thank you cards blank so you can write your own thank you sentiments inside.  Do you do that too?

I'll be back tomorrow with our Dies R Us challenge for the 15th!

Hugs,
Sherri

Double the fun!

Yes, ladies....

More thank you cards!  These are a little different than my normal cards.  The base of both is Simon Says Stamp Thanks Scallop Border.  I adore this die!

 For the blue card, I used Poppy Stamps Kirby Blooms, which also embosses the flowers & leaves.

For the pink card, I used Memory Box Honey Blossom Sprig.  There are so many ways you could use that base card design!

Back tomorrow with a final thank you for awhile.  Yeaaaaa!!!

Hugs,
Sherri

What else....another thank you!

Hello, everyone!

And happy Sunday! I hope you are having a great day!  My daughter & I have been church shopping for several weeks & have found a church that is a perfect fit.  We both enjoy the services and their choir is amazing.  She was unhappy with her old one, and since I haven't lived here before, I needed a new church as well.  Luckily, we both fell in love with the same one!

Today's card is another thank you.  This one was also quick & easy.  I used Tutti Designs Swirly Thanks for this one.

Tomorrow I have 2 cards to share.

Hugs,
Sherri

Another Thank You!

Hello again!

Another quick & easy thank you card! This time I grabbed Tutti Designs Butterfly Vine Border for my card!

This will be a short post as I've got a lot to post yet and cards to pack for mailing.

Back tomorrow with another thank you.  You will tired of all the thank you cards by the time I am done, I'm sure.  But maybe it will give you an idea for one of your own!

Hugs,
Sherri
