QKR Stampede Challenge # 215 - Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Thought I would say that a couple of days early as I'm not sure I will be able to post on the actual day.   A lot of things have been happening and I am actually moving to Nebraska to live!  So, in case I am busy packing (or moving) Happy Halloween!

My card for today uses digi # 14314 Riding.  There is no cuter little witch anywhere!

If you haven't already finished all your Halloween cards, come join the challenge for you chance to win some fabulous digi stamps!

Try not to eat too much candy!

QKR Stampede Challenge # 214 - Wild West

Hi, everyone!

Grab your cowboy hat & get ready for this week's wild, wild west theme! Head over to the QKR Stampede store for one of the darling images we carry!  I chose digi # 16007 Pony Express for my card today.  He was too cute to pass up, and what says the wild west better than the pony express!

This image would be perfect for a guy's birthday card wouldn't it?  And we all know how hard those are to make!

Hope your weekend will be fantastic! Enjoy the weather while it holds!  Old man winter will be here all too quickly!

Dies R Us Challenge - Fall

Hello, again!

Well, it's the 15th of the month again & time for another fun & fabulous challenge at Dies R Us Challenge Blog!  This time the theme is "Fall" and what a great theme for this time of year! The store is just filled to capacity with all kinds of wonderful fall & Halloween related dies!  As you know, our business has expanded so greatly that we even had to move to a bigger location where we can offer you even MORE fantastic dies!

For my contribution this time, I pulled out a lot of my favorite dies & just "played" with them!
It's amazing what you can come up with when you just let your imagination go!

Here are the dies I used!               Impression Obsession Cat Set

                                                      Memory Box Grand Forest Archway

                                                      Impression Obsession Leaf Cluster

                                                      Impression Obsession Bushel of Apples

                                                      Poppy Stamps Rustic Wagon

This looks exactly like my front yard (minus the wagon & apples).  The leaves have been falling since September & the sad thing is NONE of them are from a tree in MY yard!  The neighbor has a huge tree in his parking & it drops something all year long! Seeds, pods, leaves....it never ends! And because of it's location, none of them drop in HIS yard!  And none of my friends will park close to it because of the birds that sit in it all day!  ha ha  

Head on over to the Dies R Us Challenge Blog & see what you can enter for a chance to win a gift certificate to the amazing store! 

See you soon!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

QKR Stampede Challenge # 212- Autumn Leaves

Hello, again!

Today's challenge at QKR Stampede is a perfect one for this time of the year!  I don't know about where you live, but on my street, the leaves are already starting to turn...and to FALL!  So grab your supplies & see what you can come up with & join our weekly challenge!  Here is mine post for today!  I used digi # 18806 Scarecrow & Leaves, added a couple of fun dies & he was ready to go!

You may not be able to see it, but both the pumpkins and the leaves have stitching. And, of course, no image is complete without a coat of Wink of Stella!

Enjoy your weekend!  And enjoy the fall colors while they last!  We are supposed to have an early winter!

QKR Stampede Weekly Challenge # 211 - Cut It Up! (Cutting, punches or dies)

Hello, gals!

Can you believe it is not only the end of the week, but the last day of September?  Where did the summer go!  Guess we have to enjoy the next month before the weather starts to cool & winter comes sliding in again.  I guess it was a good choice on my part to do a Christmas card for this weeks challenge!  ha ha  Once I saw this digi, I just HAD to have it!  This little charmer is digi # 35403 Holly Moose!  Have you ever seen a moose this much into the holiday spirit before?

Since the challenge was to also use either punches or dies, I grabbed for my favorite dies, Frantic Stamper Holly Card Band & Cherry Lynn Holly Corner.  They just seemed the perfect compliment to this little guy and the holly paper.

I also made this card with the same stamp & paper.  Love, love, love this image!

Grab your favorite stamps, dies or punches & see what you can come up with for your entry!

Enjoy your weekend!

QKR Stampede Challenge # 209 - Anything Goes

Hello, friends!

Happy Weekend!  I'm ready to kick back & get with friends....how about you?  Of course, that always involves lunch and stamping!  It's wonderful to have crazy friends who share all your addictions, isn't it?  ha ha

Since the theme this week is "Anything Goes", I decided that it was a good time to work on my Christmas cards .  Especially once I found this darling Christmas image of cats!  This is digi # 34801 - Xmas Kitties from Eureka Stamps.  I added a Poppy Stamps Stitched Holly Border to the bottom.

This many cats would be my idea of the PURR-FECT Christmas present!  If I had more money & a bigger house, I would be the neighborhood "crazy cat lady" for sure!

Can't wait to see what you come up with!  Remember ANYTHING goes!  Pick your favorite subject or make that card you have to get ready for the next birthday.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Dies R Us Challenge - County Fair

Hello, gals!

Are you ready to join in the latest Dies R Us Challenge?  The theme this time is "County Fair" and I can't wait to see all the fabulous cards that everyone will come up with!  Add your card & show us what your favorite part of the fair is and you could be the lucky winner of a gift voucher to our incredible store!  We have grown so much we even had to move to a larger building!  If you haven't checked out all the goodies there lately, you will be amazed at all the different companies you can find there now!

Here is my card for this fun challenge!  I used the following dies to make it:  La-La Land random Flags W/Hearts Banner, Impression Obsession Country Fences, Amy Design Cows.  The image is from Sassy Cheryl.

I have to say my favorite part of any county fair was always the animals and the food!  ha ha Not a surprise to anyone who knows me at all!  I used to love the rabbits most of all....the huge ones with the long, long ears were just so gorgeous! And some of the chickens were incredible as well.  I'm a sucker for about any critter.  Throw in a day of eating all things "fried" and on a stick & I'm in!

Catch you later!

Not Feeling Beary Good?

Hi, friends!

I hope you are enjoying your weekend!  It has really cooled down here in Iowa!  A sure sign that fall is on the way!

As promised yesterday, I have a get well card to share today.  The stamp is from an Inky Antics Get Well set that I love!  Does anyone still use hot water bottles anymore?  I remember Mom had one & once in awhile when we were little she would fill it with warm water & put it in bed with us when we were sick.

The die behind my oval is Sue Wilson's Eternal Rings.  My friend Karal had given me a handful of these and I loved it so much I just ordered my own this morning!  What would we do without friends!

I'll be back again soon with some more catch up cards!
